In the spirit of Christmas, I'll take a stab at this.

1a - the roster lacks talent... 3-9 speaks for itself

1b - the roster lacks depth... 3-9 speaks for itself

2 - the coaching staff cannot coach up... 3-9 speaks for itself. The only unit that improved this year was special teams.

3 - FBs recruiting acumen being exposed... this one is harder, but some of his sig dudes either not panning out, leaving, or entering the portal are part of that argument I assume.

4 - FB better fill the roster or its over (& what does 'over' mean?)... if he doesn't knock it out of the park in the portal, and all our portal dudes leave, its over. Toossii can only do so much. 'Over' would be a couple more 3, 4, 5 win seasons and an end to the FB era.

This is where it gets murky

I expect him to have some wins in the portal. Its his strongest point.  But, I also expect a big sell job, like we got w some of his signature dudes that are now portaling.

So, its important to focus on the results & what you see on the field.

I am excited about the new DC. I expect a 10 point swing per game on better tackling angles alone. But, do expect struggles, unless we somehow do well in the portal.

Very concerned about the O. We'll see how much of the 10 win season was bc of Nixon or McCord/Pena/Allen.

So, we'll see.

If the portal is all duds, & we're then fully dependent on elite coaching acumen, trying times are ahead.

Should be an exciting 30ish days.
