Good on Beane for that. Maybe the owner is just a mouth breathing moron. lol

I'm of the opinion that beggars can't be choosers. If you need a QB, you have to strike when you think the opportunity is there whether the roster is "ready" or not. If the opportunity isn't there, then keep building up the rest of the roster and try to find a decent stopgap. But if you're telling me if you're in a situation where you need a QB and you like an available QB and you pass on him because you don't think the roster is ready for it then I'm gonna tell you that you're dumber than rocks.

I mean, how many times have they benched him and otherwise punished him and at this point clearly stating that it's for stuff like this? It's not exactly "leaking" anything.

The issue isn't on the field, it's off. Evidently the guy just absolutely cannot show up for meetings on time and is probably having other types of maturity/dedication type issues as well.

I think everyone kinda knew that ship had sailed at this point. But yeah... actively poo talking a player currently on the roster in a presser basically insinuating that the pick played a role in the coach being fired not a great look. LOL

Seems like there was gonna be a scapegoat and McD lost the power struggle to Beane. Kinda makes me think Beane might be a snake little bitch too. I doubt the owner cooked up that story on his own. Beane sold him on the idea that he was accommodating the staff with that pick.

Pretty wild watching the Bills owner sit in a presser and just absolutely throw McD and the coaching staff under the bus on the Keon Coleman pick to defend Beane. Like dude... you know you still gotta go out and hire a coach, right? How are you feeling watching that if you're a top HC candidate on the market? The owner basically just signaled loud and clear who the chosen one is in the building.

I'm at the point where if I can get anything for XL in a trade I'm moving him. Even if it's a late round conditional pick. I like the guy and was rooting for him but on terms of football getting him off the roster would be addition by subtraction. I like T-Mac and Coker on the outside, now just find a decent slot. The good thing about finding Coker as a UDFA in that class is that it takes some of the sting off of the XL bust pick if Coker essentially becomes what we were hoping for out of XL.

He's an odd looking dude. Looks like his family tree resembles a telephone pole. LOL

I wonder how they're defining "screens" because I see a lot more passes that I'd call screens in today's NFL than those low percentages.

Temu Sam Darnold. Put yourself in a situation where you have to ask him to go win the game and you've already lost.

Speaking of Love and those final wins over K, Caleb Love is a feature of two of my all-time favorite UNC basketball photos From the final game in Cameron: From the Final Four win: Love struggled with consistency (a recurring theme under Hubert Davis) but man, he had one helluva knack for being at his best in big games and big moments.

It's gonna be interesting the impact this has around the college football world. I mean, for the worst program in power conference D1 football to hire a new coach and immediately win double digit games for the first time in program history then follow it up with an undefeated national championship run in year two... just wow. I don't think even the most delusional rosy outlook folks thought something like that was possible. These blue blood schools are gonna be looking at their programs like this program that has a historical record of only winning about 40% of their games just won a national title and is 27-2 over the past two years simply by hiring the right coach. Every other power conference team is gonna be looking at Indiana like "hey, that could be us if they can do it so can we." I think what Cignetti has done at Indiana has really ramped up the pressure and expectations across the board.

I mean, they should. That's what you're trying to hire - a guy who is going to produce results on the field. Don't get meatballed like old Hurndog. LOL

They've checked that box. No need to go through with a second interview unless they're truly considering him.

For a guy hardly any of us would muss and a decent chunk would straight up love to be rid of. Sure would be a sweet deal.

The problem is that legit contenders would also be willing to offer that. The only way we likely lure in a player like Hendrickson is offering him more, maybe considerably more, than teams in better situations to compete now and that gets very very dicey with players on the wrong side of 30.

They have Josh Hoover coming from TCU. He threw for nearly 3500 yards and 29 TDs. Mendoza there for barely 3000 yards and 16 TDs at Cal last year.

What is Herbstreit talking about? "I've had NFL head coaches calling me asking me what's going on, how has Cignetti..." No you haven't. STFU and stop lying.

Speaking of keeping your nose down, where was Michael Irvin tonight?

This is the portal era. They can reload again. I mean, in terms of sheer talent they might have been top 15-20.

Draft him.

What does Aidan Fisher's draft stock look like? Looks like a player to me.

Something is off. I don't know what, but something is off.

Ladies and gentlemen, Carson Beck.
