If anyone doubts Fran was the right hire

McCord is going to leave DIFFICULT shoes to fill.

That's a big concern.

Otherwise, I love the rest of the footprint that's been established.
Our schedule is brutal next year, I won’t be mad at 7-5 . Just let Fran keep building and let him know he is loved here. Let’s not jump to any conclusions like we did with babers but I believe we found the ultimate diamond in the rough.

Fran is legit. I love his passion. It's genuine and controlled and is contagious through the whole team. We saw it today. He and his transfers brought an attitude we haven't had in a while, maybe with the exception of Dungey. I feel like our WRs all year fought for the ball and for yac like we haven't seen in a long time. I'm excited to see him build on what we had this year.

Look at what a different player Pena became. He was an afterthought as a receiver in the old regime and primarily a return guy... And this year he's a legit dude that looked like the Cuse version of an Edelman. Never thought he had that in him, but this staff brought it out.

There are many many cases of kids having MORE talent than they show because coaches might not put them in a great position to be successful. Coaches have to put them into successful situations(play calling/ situational analysis) and ALSO be competent teachers of each position group. Average position coaches and OC's can ONLY do 1 of those things at a high level typically.. Right now,Fran has a high level staff across the board.. Have to hope he can keep this crew together another few years atleast.
 
There’s no chance of getting a player as good as Kyle. Hopefully he get us good QB with improvements at other positions
Really? No idea who will be in the portal.

He reminds me of the college version of Shakir
 
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned about Coach Fran is that we never got blown out this year. Under Dino, we had more disasters than I care to remember the most recent being the Virginia Tech debacle last year. Even the pitt game this year was an outlier because of the pick sixes, and if you look at the actual stats, our defense was excellent in that game and by no means were we dominated.

At first I wasnt sure. But it was clear rather quickly that he was the best man for the job no matter how long it took.
I was thinking...
8-4
7-5
10-2
Now...
10-3
15-0
15-0 or whatever it is now
etc
 
If Dino was coaching and we got down 21-0, we would have gotten buried 56-3. Big difference with him and Fran. Thank you JW!

Dino would never have Kyle McCord running the offense...

And there would be a lot more losses.
 
No one did, so suck it right back. Trying to create conflict within our fan base where none exists.
Well that’s not true at all.

To be fair he was supposed to be a bigger part of our O last year. And in 2022 he played hurt and still got 19 catches on a team trying to feature an NFL RB.
 
Very curious to see what magic he can do in the portal after this
Working on it as we speak

not really, just another way of saying if you want my services I need to see the deal….ohio state supporters decided their team nil package would be 20 mil . Once you announce you’re in the portal, packages are being worked by any and all interested
parties ( yikes that sounds weird lol )

This might just be the high of last night talking, but I am starting to look at next year‘s schedule as more of an opportunity. I think we’re going to shock some teams next year.

Cuse is gonna be a double digit dog against Tennessee in the opener. I'll take the points and bet us on the ML right now. LFG.
 
I don't like this. Think it's false.

"Working on an NIL package" right now sounds like tampering.
As Yogi Berra once said..."if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying ". And is there ever tampering with coaches, families, trainers, friends on teams, etc? To me you hunt in this version of college.
That all said, I am not sure it's a fact that's being shared in the burner account. I agree with you in thinking that is a false tweet.

Is tampering against the rules? (If there are actual rules). Has anyone been punished for it because it seems odd that it wouldn’t be happening all over the place.

That’s the game and we finally have guys that are good at it.
