Hey guys, check out the tracker I made for Joe Milton Bombs for this season. In the FF.

 
Interesting segment from Josh Pate on Deion. Says he was texting with some CFB media and agents about him and they were all worried about what he just did. Not because they don’t want him to succeed or anything, but that he just even more depleted patience on CFB HCs.

He goes on to name Napier, Sark, and a couple other newer HCs and says that patience is already thin for most CFB fans of these teams because these coaches aren’t hitting the ground running, but watching Deion do what he did with the roster turnover and then the win this weekend means patience will evaporate completely. All fans will be saying “why should we wait? Look what Deion is doing. Do that here.”

Rebuilds were already being accelerated by the transfer portal overall, but Deion just laid a blueprint down on how to take a perennial loser and turn them into a legitimate team in one offseason.

The thing about what Deion did that is being left out is that Deion was able to do it because he was a superstar celeb prior to ever coaching a game. He had more fame walking into a college football coaching job than most established college coaches - good ones too. He is an anomaly. Other people aren't going to be able to do what he's done. He wouldn't be able to do it had he not been Deion the player. A superstar as recognizable as Brady or Manning.

Further, we really don't know how good or bad TCU is this year. They themselves went to the playoffs from a portal built team of seniors and super seniors and they lost most of those players.
 
The old thread was clogged with purple fur. We are still working on an exact cause for the malfunction.
Deflection. Ever since Freak came out and said notification hoarding causes problems, you have lived in a state of denial. To the point Freak had to do an update where notifications check themselves. We all know the truth!
 
Sort of. I saw them run some wide splits, but I also saw them in a lot of standard formations. It didn’t feel like they went very fast, either.

If you’re gonna do what Heupel does here, you gotta commit to it 100%.
Reportedly the offensive players flat loved Riley and were really excited about "modernizing" their offense, stretching the field vertically, a lot of RPO, getting the ball to playmakers in space, and using fast tempo to prevent defensive substitutions. Etc., etc.

Clemson had spent the entire time since they lost to Tennessee implementing this new offense and hyped these changes to their fan base all off-season.

The Clemson board last night was incredibly angry that, as they said, at the last minute Dabo pulled the controls back in a mixture of jealousy, fear, stupidity, and incompetence. It was not unfunny to read.

They claimed that when a reporter was asked in camp about "the Riley offense," Dabo got visibly angry (although he tried to hide it) and retorted that "this is the Clemson [Dabo] offense." They should have known right there what Dabo was going to do, they said.

Dabo had blamed all his failures on his coordinator and quarterback, ditched them both very publicly, and then brought in someone to do what Dabo himself had no idea how to do for himself. And then at last minute (so to speak) he "took his ball and went 'home'" like a petulant child to his "dumb" notions that he had made such a display of blaming on others. He called his own game, his own old way, they said.

One wonders if this plays a role in Klubnik's now famous "drive-by" last night when Dabo tried to shake his hand.

Yet after the loss Dabo subtly blamed Riley! " I liked [Garrett Riley’s] poise. He just kept going, and he stayed positive, and he kept encouraging the guys. And go right back down the field, and we’d have a miscue there."

Comedy gold.
