If John fucking Wristen gets the OC gig I'm just gunna start mailing buckets of shit to the Champions Center.
we were very high on him at first, then the season went to shit and some things came out that were not flattering but it’s always that way. I don’t have enough info to really help you, he seemed like a nice young energetic coach when he was at Nd, it was brief though
He was one of PJs good friends apparently when we hired him. Our QB regressed and we just weren't as explosive as under our previous OC. Unfortunately I can't give a ringing endorsement. He also fucked up Jordan Loves senior year.
I remember being excited about him when he came on. We had a good offense in 2015 and then 2016 was our dumpster fire year. The biggest thing I can take from his time at ND was that he left for a low level HC job, which for us usually meant BK did not want to fire you, but was gently showing you the door. Think he only lasted a couple years at western Kentucky and they were terrible, and seems to have bounced around since then.
My youngest told me today she wants to go to CU. I’ll be in this thread asking questions about campus life soon. She is only in the 9th grade but she has been a straight A student her whole life so I don’t doubt she will make it. Go Buffs imo. FWIW I got accepted to CU.
hope she doesn’t care about a loser football team. That won’t change by then. aren’t you Hispanic? She’ll have scholarship offers galore from CU if so if she keeps those grades up. My buddy who is half Mexican got a full ride with his 4.0 in high school in San Diego. CU has a major whiteness issue.
The mental gymnastics people are doing to convince themselves that Sanford is a good hire is hilarious.
The good: He had creative wrinkles in the running game that he brought out throughout the season. Very dynamic within that portion of the offense. The bad: The passing game lacked the same creativity. It was pretty much just long developing pass plays like deep crossing routes and/or fade routes. Our QB regressed both years he was here vs where he was in 2019. He was slow to make in-game adjustments when things were not working. He didn’t seem to have hot routes when teams blitzed.
The only CU game I saw was our 30-0 win in Boulder. (Beautiful campus btw). There are more pieces that go into this than just the OC but the Gophers execution under Sanford was better than what I saw from CU that day. So, it should likely be an improvement but I’d be in the same boat of wanting a higher ceiling than Sanford.
From what I can tell, a pretty soft schedule. I would assume middle of the Pac when it is all said and done. Stanford, Arizona, and plenty of talent like every year. PAC is no joke. Would love it if the team could cement themselves in the top half each year. Man I should know more but I'm too busy trying to rationalize the OC pick. Honestly, if KD brought him in fresh when KD started I would not be so upset. At least it would have shown the approach. The AD really is giving fans nothing to dig in to here haha. It's like Rick George read everything, heard everything, and decided to double-down anyways.
We hired this dude for the OL spot? So says Mayor McCheese https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_DeVan
still no confirmation if Devan is the hire We all assume Vlachos will leave and become a star because we are terrible at everything football related
Gompers was my homeschool (neighborhood school I was supposed to attend) I actually went to Locke for a year. I had to leave because people found out I lived in a blood neighborhood and couldn’t continue going there it wouldn’t have been safe for me. My parents still live in my childhood home so I go back about once a week or every other week.
