Unless you hear something about someone staying, the safe bet is they are not being retained. There's been no chatter about Holt being kept on

The BIGGEST question I haven't seen anything about - have we heard if Holt is leaving? I don't even care as much about rumors of who we might be bringing in as long as he is leaving. For all the concerns people have expressed about the coordinators, I feel like the absolute shit coverage that allowed a ST touchdown on us and bad starting field position from bad decision making and poor blocking/tackling by our ST may have been a bigger negative impact than either offensive or defensive play.

It may have been part of the reason Marve was let go. And he may have taken the view that it should be the DC who was responsible for making a decision to let Quinn go if the DC felt the position group wasn't performing adequately. The fact that Quinn is not staying seems like a good sign that he recognized that LB play wasn't good, and wasn't just keeping a buddy around.

I still feel like it was likely more a head coaching failure than anything else. Also, from a HC perspective, how long do you give a coordinator to turn things around and succeed, especially where we were when Fuente was fired? He DID fire Marve. We don't know why Quinn was kept on, but he did move to outside LBs his last year.

I don't know, going back to doing something he (Pry) has already been successful doing feels far less risky than keeping someone from the current staff on or even hiring someone from another program.

coaching success ultimately comes down to recruiting, OL development, and QB play

This spot on. I feel like QB play comes down more to picking the right QB than coaching development. Playcalling plays a part as well, but I'm starting to think that "QB whisperer" is BS and it's more on lucking into a QB who "gets it". You can recruit that position with all highly ranked guys and they still could bust.

OL is the opposite for me. It's all about development. You need to find guys with size and athleticism, but I care about OL recruiting rankings significantly less than any other position, unless you're a consensus 5*

I agree. I forgot where I saw it, maybe on FB, maybe in a comment here. But what might help is to have the next 16 highest ranked teams play in a tournament for a different "championship" (think NIT), and then the next 16 play for a 3rd "championship". Keep the first, maybe even the 2nd round on campuses of the higher ranked team, then move to "bowls" for neutral site games. That would make it more fun and give the teams something to play for.

Oh, and if you are a player and opt out, pay back all the NIL money you received. Make these kids sign contracts... but that's a different argument / thread.

Yeah that was funny, and they had Chambliss wearing his Ole Miss jersey. Good for him man, going from DII all the way to starring in ads during America's Game. The transfer portal/NIL era is far from perfect, but Chambliss' story is exactly what it was meant for.

Winner! 1-0.
Gotta take it! Its downhill from here!

It could be completely accidental. Harbaugh's kind of a weird dude and I think it's possible that there are some social cues or red flags that he just doesn't pick up on.

I laughed at the AT&T commercial out right now. Running a Transfer Portal ad from a living room where the kid announces his transfer to AT&T

I agree. Dude swung the non ball carrying hand over the pylon but not the ball in my opinion.

Great game, and I had SC (just for 2 points), but Prarie View got completely jobbed on that call on the SC conversion.

Got fights going on in D II playoffs.

Bunch of ejections so Ferris St may regret it if those players have to sit next week for the National Championship

💯
Retaining Brooks, Mines, and Moore keeps elite Mid-Atlantic recruiters at VT. Add in Franklin, Pry, Dex, S. Spencer, and Howle, and that's probably 8 of the top 15 mid-Atlantic recruiters.

VT recruiting could get pretty, pretty good.
