  1. Our OC handpicked the QB that lead the NCAA in turnovers. Our staff did very little in the portal or JUCOs to address the holes on offense. And our OL is still atrocious (the PFF rankings support that - look at Turner scoring 0s in pass protection for multiple games). In my mind, our turnovers correlate with our OL performance. Bad protection means more picks. Not the only factor clearly - decision making by all 3 QBs was also awful, and that would likely be an indicator of coaching. Three completely different players all produce unprecedented TOs. If this wasn’t our team, I’m pretty sure all of us would view Satt as an awful OC. We could recognize how back Brian Ferentz was.
  2. So we’re just supposed to believe that three separate QBs are all TO machines with horrid decision-making? Getting the same performance from three completely different players sure seems like a coaching issue to me.
  3. Another example of sunk-cost fallacy. That mindset has killed our program. Instead of seeing something for what it is (Satt, Frost, Raiola, Riley) we make excuses to keep terrible performances. “We’re already invested in XYZ, if we can just wait it out it longer it will turn around.” Meanwhile our program continues to crumble into disrepair. If something isn’t working, we need to get rid of it before it gets even worse. Satt has an atrocious history as an OC; get him out now before he causes more damage.
  4. Well hopefully we’ll see more urgency from this staff to address the talent deficiency this offseason. We didn’t last year. We talk about Rhule and crew’s talent evaluation as a strength , but frankly the talent evaluation at QB has been horrid. This staff chose to chase off CT for Sims. It chose to play Sims and then HH over Purdy for most of the season. It also chose to not address the OL - Rhule “liked the guys we have”. We’re reaping the effects of the staff’s awful decisions from last offseason.
  5. Like what Michigan did to us this year?
  6. BS… this is a loser mentality. $$$ and winning bring talent. We aren’t winning, so why aren’t we spending like crazy in NIL to get big names here? We were told for the last 5 years we have the resources to be very competitive in the NIL market. It blows my mind that we aren’t using it but then are taking on these unnecessary multi-hundred million dollar facilities projects.
  7. I still am struggling to understand why these renovations are necessary right now. Unless they aren’t telling us something about structural integrity - which is definitely possible - why are we shelling out $450m to decrease stadium size and lower potential ticket income? Again, if the money exists, why the heck aren’t we putting it towards staff and talent to improve on-field performance? What’s gonna keep people going to games and the sellout streak alive? Winning games and getting back to being a competitor to win the conference. Also to announce this before approval and before an absolute slacking doesn’t make sense to me either.
  8. Bad analogy. A bad date usually doesn’t lead to more dates… probably not a good idea to continue to invest in someone after 3 awful dates
  9. Ugh this makes my head hurt. So Deion inherits a significantly worse team, he pulls in more talent than us, beats us by 3 possessions, doubles CU’s Ws from last year in just 2 games while we’re 0-2, but somehow we have the better coach. I envy your optimism.
  10. This is the mentality we need to change. Could’ve said the same thing about CU and 5 star players. Deion pulled in Hunter + a number of other big names. The right coach + NIL can pull talent here.
  11. You’ve nailed it on the talent point. It’s not good enough. A development approach can get us to Iowa’s level if done right. I don’t think that’s acceptable. Our program was one of the few blue bloods in the sport. Accepting mediocrity is a slap in the face to decades of earned success. We were told we had one of the best NIL set-ups in the country - that it would be a real game-changer for us. Either we negligently aren’t using it to its full capability (if much at all) or we were lied to. I tend to think it’s the former given we can find $300-700m for stadium upgrades and $150m for new training facilities.
  12. And bye sellout streak. Keep losing, keep making excuses, keep putting blind faith into our staffs, and unfortunately it will happen. Look, none of us want to be here. I have two decades of family memories (especially with my dad) supporting this program while it crumbles away with excuses and poor prioritization (facilities over talent). I was in Ireland last year - as many of us were. The more we’re lower our standards and forfeit urgency, the more we turn into Kansas (who is significantly better than us now btw). None of us want that. But the more we lose, the more we lose our fan base (especially the younger fans). We need to start winning fast, otherwise we our only further etching our current and likely future identity of being a has-been, now perennial losing program.
  13. We assumed we were turning around things with Frost for 4 years - we needed a long rebuild then too. It’s a very risky strategy given the sake of our program. Seriously ask yourself, would you be having more fun experiencing the start of a season Deion is leading at CU or what we’re experiencing with Rhule? What about the 8 or 12-win first year season Urban had at every university he’s coached at? Regardless of if you like their personalities, those sound more fun to me.
  14. Move the goalposts and add extra stipulations to try and discredit a clear point that Deion has drastically improved a worse program than Rhule. But sure, I’ll bite - Kalen DeBoer just did it last year. He got his qb from the portal. It happened in our program history too with Bob Devaney. Before him we had 6 losing seasons. His first year we won 9 games. We want results, not excuses.
  15. We’re reacting to their poor performance on the field. Losing is a miserable experience - you’re right. Winning is the cure. Urgently improving our roster should be the prescription - you know, like what Deion did and how he just beat us. You deliver bad results, you get a bad reaction. That goes for any place - it’s even worse in the SEC.
