Not that it's time to hit the panic button but we seem to be losing the transfer QB sweepstakes...

I actually really like our chances with this group. Arizona is home but stunk, Cal has stunk.

Arizona and Cal's offenses were among the worst in P5 football. Ours was miles ahead of theirs last year, and we brought in a QB coach whose previous QB might be the first QB off the board in the draft. I still think we stack up well.We haven't been super good....
I'd actually be quite intrigued by what this staff could do with Smothers/Haarberg assuming we don't get a QB in the portal. Designing an offense that plays to their strengths and calling plays that will leverage their talent while keeping the opponents guessing compared to what we've seen the last 4 years. And it's not like we are really afraid of having a losing season if things don't work out. At this point another year without making a bowl really isn't going to make much of a difference.
That....along with an improved O line and ST that isn't flat out losing games by themselves.I'd actually be quite intrigued by what this staff could do with Smothers/Haarberg assuming we don't get a QB in the portal.

The problem with that is that it would be nice to have the transfer QB in spring practice.The other thing to remember, is there will be additional QBs available after spring ball. There always is. Kids will transfer when they don't win the starting gig or don't mesh with new coaching staffs.
Then there would nothing to complain about itThat....along with an improved O line and ST that isn't flat out losing games by themselves.

Fine with me.Then there would nothing to complain about it
I think we might do better with Logan Smothers than we would the next Sam Keller.
Short term and long term.
whats amazing is, you keeping Frost for one more season has hurt our recruiting because now we lack stability. If Frost was fired, we wouldn't get recruits because we don't keep coaches. The national media does not want Big Red football to ever be what it was. With all of the negative media coverage nationally, its hard to tell if we will ever become somewhat relative.
This is why we need our in state talent to stay and we need to hit Iowa and Kansas hard for those hidden gems like we would get in the 80's and 90's. I know that recruiting stars don't matter with this class. We have a good roster of recruits who never saw the field this season. What hurts us right now is if Frost turns things around, 2 years from now we might not have diddly squat because we got few this go around. College football now has become Big Iron auction. Highest bidder might have best recruiting classes no matter blue blood or not.
