As another poster mentioned I wouldn't read a ton into where he was on the depth chart as a true freshman.
Reality with QBs these days is that a lot of guys are unwilling to sit and wait their turn. When the starter will be just a redshirt sophomore next year the prospects for the other QBs to...
Greg Johnson, Kerry Brown, Karter Menz, Matt Kinsbury, Zaquan Bryan.....
Plenty of dead weight in the class but some solid players came out of it and there are few others in there that it is too early to close the book on since those players were either redshirt Sophomores or true juniors this...
Will be interesting to see what kind of opportunities he gets in the portal. Assume if he wants a guarantee of playing time right away he will need to drop down to G5 or even FCS.
Yeah, having any sort of experience or proven depth at the backup QB position is pretty tough these days with the way guys move around in search of opportunities.
Haven't seen or looked for a lot but saw the one comment from a player that was replied to by another making it seem that they were disputing Kiffin's claim they wanted him to coach.
Is there a link?
Wouldn't be shocking with the way QBs move around but unfortunate. On the plus side if Kollock is moving on it makes it seem highly likely that Drake has no intention of leaving.
Priority one has to be getting the opposing team out of the way without being interfered with. For the most part this happens the problem is it only takes a couple morons to ruin it for everyone because they can't resist the desire to be a jackass as opposed to just celebrating with their team...
To your last point the timing of everything is really bad. They made it a little better in theory by not opening the portal until January but teams need to fill coaching spots while other teams are still playing.
In general though this Kiffin thing is probably a pretty rare situation. Kiffin...
Voss will be an interesting one to watch next year. I am sure they would love to get someone with his athleticism on the field but there is going to be a pretty steep learning curve for him going from high school QB to college TE.
All going to come down to how quickly he can adjust to the new...
Don't really see the need for that because all someone has to do is pull up the roster to see the guys that are out of eligibility. There was someone that used to do a parallel thread that laid out the classes but think he stopped doing it because eligibility has gotten so convoluted and hard...
The last few for Gopher football have definitely been mostly students. I kind of like the idea of students coming down and celebrating with the team after a win. Our student section has been really good the last few years and if you add a fun element like celebrating with the team it only...
Their OC is going to LSU but staying for the CFP run. If it was a coordinator or a position coach I wouldn't have a problem with them staying on but head coach is different.
Kiffin staying on would have been a massive distraction for him and the team. Pretty clear from the player comments...
To the first part.....you are 100% correct that there is little to no loyalty in athletics. Kiffin making the move is his right.
However, him wanting to continue coaching Ole Miss after agreeing to take a job with an in conference rival was just foolish.
Look at it like this.....Fleck leads...
