I'm sure this has already been discussed so apologies, but I saw the spillman chat thing that alledged the room all hated Kelsey Pope. Seems odd considering when he got promoted apparently everyone celebrated and looked to him as a big brother, but I digress..

My question is, is his one of the position coaches that has an expiring contract? I know Ekeler and Banks was, but pretty sure there is a third guy. Just wondering the likelyhood of us replacing the position coach prior to next season. If its as bad as spillman suggested, then it seems neccessary.

By Spillman, I mean Nate, of course.

I don’t buy that for a second. He’s one of our best recruiters. Probably most relatable to recruits outside of levorn. If they have a problem with him, it’s not because of not liking him.

Not saying the Spillman chat was 100% but there is a difference in being an off the field role vs full time position coach. Also if there is additional pressure and he became difficult to play under, made bad decisions, etc. That can happen to anyone and a reset is sometimes beneficial.

Just read 25 pages catching up this morning and I'm honestly exhausted. The things this fanbase believes is astonishing. Pack mentality, we gonna eat our own.

One sure sign there is unrest, C Lowe posts are back.

Yeah. This age of misinformation.

Appalling.

Waiting for the full story is much more the exception than the norm. Telling truth is rarity. Doing the right thing is a clip on instagram for likes.

I bought into the melt down, angst with MM news. Just want to win. Truth is this isn't even chess, it's or even boxing. It's getting jumped by a group of dudes. and fighting with one arm tied.

As fans, our zeal is what makes sport great. Conversely, it is also detrimental to our team, and our brand. We can literally affect no positive change to recruiting. Gnashing of teeth does nothing, proves nothing. It is a wasteful exercise, both time and energy.

Its an important lesson that I have to re learn, often. To paraphrase AP, yes, I know. $9.95. Its never as good as it seems, and it's never as bad as it seems. Important lesson to learn.

Kelsey Pope hope you get this crew in gear, to ball out. Glen Ellarbee, 😏 (trying really hard here...not to be PA, smarmy, or an ass), hope you get this crew in gear.

Now, get out there and get us some transfers. (Glen it requires getting off your ass), dammit! I cant help it.

Morning. Hope everyone is ok.

December 30, 2024: When it seems you are in a crisis, do not panic. Take the time to assess your situation and pray for wisdom. You are a child of God and precious in His sight. Trust in Him to make a way where there seems to be no way. Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them

Heupel done a good job to this point navigating this to good top 15 program status. But we’ll be stuck in “the best of good” if there aren’t a few program tweaks in staffing and recruiting talent approach. I’ll take it over the 08-21’ stuff but it’ll get tiring eventually as we see SEC rivals winning national championships

I'd rather players do less 'posting' on Social Media and handle things in house. Perhaps that is on Heupel and staff. Other than that, I'm good with the long term view and largely trusting in Heupel.
