Fire KAM and hire John McKay from the Rams. He's already worked with KOC so let him make the decision if he stays or goes.
I'm really indifferent if KOC stays at this point. He has good qualities but his stubborn, and terrible play calling outweighs his positives.
He will measure extremely well at the combine. He's a perfect 3-4 DE with his size and pass rushing ability. He finished second in the B1G in sacks this year with 10.5, only .5 off the lead. He also just turned 21 this summer, so he is young for this being his 4th season.
It would be very...
If Mason is the #1 RB, they have a below average starting RB .
They're not moving Darrisaw regardless of this 'disconnect'. It makes their cap situation worse and they would likely significantly downgrade with his replacement. It makes zero sense.
It's going to be extremely difficult to...
If they're that deep on the DL then why did they spend so much money on Allen and Hargrave? They are the top 2 reasons why the cap situation is bad for next season.
Cutting Allen only saves 4 million. Hargrave is older and would save 11 million so he would make more sense.
Jordan Mason is a...
They are projected to be ~24 million over the cap next season right now. Cutting those 4 get you gets you a savings of roughly 30 million, putting them only 6 million under the cap.
Kelly - 9 million
Hockenson - 9 million
Jones - 8 million
Allen - 4 million
Then you have to replace them and...
The only other defenses that gave up more points per game were Maryland, Michigan St, Rutgers, Purdue and UCLA. They have a combined B1G record of 7-38.
The offense was bad but they had a FR QB, new OL, mostly new WRs, and were missing their star RB for most of the season. I think that had far...
This was 2nd worst post Rob Smith defense PJ has had. The only one slightly worse was 2 years ago in Rossi's final year when they went 5-7. I threw out the Covid year.
I disagree that they are going to restructure their way out of it. They're not going to restructure Jefferson, Darrisaw, or Murphy who are all on new deals. Greenard, O'Neil, and Van Ginkle would make some sense but the latter 2 will be 31. Do you really want to try and extend/restructure...
Maybe. But he's 64, an a-hole that failed at LSU, and has watched his replacement at Notre Dame nearly win a natty, a place that he left because he said he couldn't win a championship there.
I'm not sure how in demand he'll really be.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the DeBoer steam there was true. I'd love it if he left Alabama hanging at the end of the coaching carousel.
But I'd also love it those rumors weren't true and for Penn St to end up with a significant downgrade from Franklin, who they should have never fired.
