All for naught if we don't recruit new coaches and coordinators. We need more seasoned linemen out of the portal. Take a bag of money to the portal is the new winning formula.
Indiana is a Very, Very good team X triple the Very !! Mendoza is like Burrows in CFB a generational QB. These things said Oregon didn’t just shoot their selves in the foot early on. They blew their foot off with the blunders.
ALL momentum they might have Thought about getting was gone for the entire game. I’ll be honest I changed the channel when IN was up something like 32-7. Came back for a glimpse latter and OR was down very late 55-15 I think .
What a massacre !! After our Dawgs lost out I really didn’t care who won. But I flipped to OM for Three reasons 1) They beat us so if they won the Natty we could say we lost to That team. 2) They are an SEC team not that I have much Conference loyalty 3) Didn’t want to hear Big fans chest thump all year.
But No Way am I rooting for Miami and No it has Nothing to do with Beck. Just don’t like Miami. So I’m pulling for IN as I think Mendoza is a fine young man.
We as Dawgs fans can Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda ourselves to an ulcer. But it just want meant to be. IF we could go back I. Time I’d have like to seen Frazier totally healthy All game and Use him. MIGHT have Won but I don’t know, Might have still lost.
Any Dawgs fan that thinks the Dawgs are dead and buried just need a headstone doesn’t know Kirby very well. Dawgs will be right back in the hunt and in fierce competition for a Natty. Does that mean they’ll win it ? Don’t know. Win the SEC again ? Don’t know.
What I DO know is Kirby is a fierce competitor and will push himself and the Dawgs to the maximum. Dawgs fans Should be proud of the 12-2 record with the SEC Crown accomplished This year.
Far better than Many commented right here on DN in the preseason. I remember quite a few saying 8-4 and even a few 7-5. Some more optimistic had us going 9-3. I wanted undefeated but in my heart I thought 11-1 with a loss to either Bama or TX. Dawgs Will be back and barking !! Count on it !!
Both On3 and 247 have completely different transfer team rankings.
" On3 (P)erformance score to measure a team’s production during the transfer process, compared relative against its roster and not a comparison against other schools. This proprietary algorithm determines if a school has improved its overall team talent, stayed the same, or declined in talent during the transfer window." I actually like this method.
On3 ranks the Dawgs currently at #28 - (11) 3-stars transferring Out and (5) 3-stars transferring In. NIL value decreasing by $1.2M.
In comparison, Indiana is ranked in On3 at #3 - (2) 4-stars In, (8) 3-stars In, and only (1) 3-star Out. NIL value increase of $4.7M.
247 has the Dawgs ranked at #21, and Indiana at #6. Not sure how they come up with their rankings.
Sounds good and all, but you can only bring in as many portal guys that leave, unless you rebuild your entire team with portal guys every year by wiping the roster clean. I'm not entirely sure IU blueprint is sustainable without good HS recruiting. Like Sentell said, it's all about retention and filling your portal spots with mature productive smart players.
Well bye then…
You know who else is from the Miami area on indy's team? Two of the stud DBs Ponds and Sharpe. And here's the killer, next year's starter is another Miami horse Mendoza's baby brother…I imagine Cristobal (I won't be using the word tampering, how about) will be shopping next Monday after the game and with all that U money, news of a Mendoza transfer will be forthcoming…NIL has certainly allowed Miami to retain a lot more topshelf South Florida talent. The new semi-pro college landscape is a go dsend for the "return of the U"…
Looks like I celebrated or more like breathed a sigh of relief a little too early about Chambiss not being granted another year to play. Looks like Kiffin got involved and got his attorned involved and they are going to sue or at least threaten to sue the NCAA on Chambliss's behalf. Chambliss will get 5 mil if he can play for Ole Miss next season. Are we spending anywhere near that amount on Gunner?
If Congress doesn't fix college football soon by limiting all this obscene money for coaches and players with virtually unllimited transfers, I am reluctantly going to give up my love for college football. It is getting to the point where it has nothing to do with the university itself other than a source of income. The whole thing is tragic. They are killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
If we are really honest with ourselves, Smart's performance at this point isn't much different than Richt's. They both came in as gangbusters for about five years, then as complacency set in their performance slowly sank each year a little more. The main difference today, though, is that Smart gets a million dollars for every game he coaches but does not feel he works for the alumni and fans anymore. Smelling a little of the same odor coming from the current Climpson coach…
Beachwagon?
You sound a little jealous.
You also sound like a half-assed, fair-weather "fan" to me.
Five years? That's applicable to Mark Richt, but not to Kirby Smart.
Richt had two SEC titles in his first 5 years, and nothing else over the last 10 of his career at UGA.
Kirby played for the Natty in just his second season as the HBC, and has two titles in the last the 5 seasons. We have struggled with season-long injuries to key players, and a lack of depth at OL & DL the last two seasons. Not Smart's fault, just the way it has become now. If you want to compete for championships, you ain't gonna do it by HS recruitment, with player development and retention a definite thing of the past. Unless congress steps in and reins in some of the madness that is PRO, I mean…college football now, we're gonna have to invest more heavily in the portal to build a winner from now on, and that is seriously **** up.
But wherever this NIL bullshit takes us from here, I want Kirby coaching the Dawgs. He's the best in the game, his regular season win totals and post season conference and national titles silences any critics.
