Good backup QBs are going to be [I]very[/I] hard to keep for any college team. Gone are the days of having a Hurts and a Tua on the same roster. Backups now find playing time and a starting job wherever they can—and even PSU’s backup looked like hot garbage, despite their nearly unlimited resources.

When Fran was hired, we knew what we were getting: the best recruiter in the nation paired with a brand-new head coach. Mistakes were bound to happen. We got lucky last year with McCord and winning almost all of our coin-flip games. Now, it becomes a bigger issue if those mistakes aren’t addressed.

Defense is getting fixed because we went out and got Dr. Blitz. On the other hand, Fran might benefit from a “Head Coach whisperer” to help with game management. That said, he does hold himself accountable, and I genuinely question whether the end-of-first-half issues were entirely on him—or if Nixon was pushing too hard.

Time will tell how Fran performs long-term, but I’m still happy he’s our head coach.
