I don't recall this poster saying much early or even throughout the season. But they appear to be very adamant now about repeating the most pessimistic view possible. That may tell us more about the poster than anything.
Also, an honest, authentic guy. That would be refreshing.
I don’t really watch BYU, but I’m wondering if he’s the type who keeps his foot on the neck. I listened to a BYU podcast and they said he’s grounded in trying to do right by people and be kind, and there was a game where he didn’t go for a field goal at the end of a game when it was the obvious choice.
He lost 5 games in the weak ACC. That is a terrible option, but maybe the only one we have left.
When we won't have any P5 caliber players on the team, we may go 0-12. We lost almost the entire 26 class, lots of seniors leaving, and I would assume another 15-20 portal.
That should always be the unforgivable sin, never beating OSU and top 10 teams. Kraft spent $6 million per year on coordinators for Franklin. He went all in and now Franklin is all out.
Next years schedule is the easiest possible AND no OSU.
You give him elite resources, I think he'd be good. Just my opinion
Well, he does have to play with Duke's roster which isn't good. You could argue that he hasn't recruited well enough there but who has? Plus, his first class are still just freshmen.
And the new hire will likely bring players with him plus we will hit the portal hard. We will have plenty of power 5 players, many are not currently on the roster. This is what happens when you bring in a new coach.
They only lost once, to TT, and I don't think that was the game. And PSU didn't go for the TD at the end of the game against Rutgers. Anyway, he coaches a tough but disciplined team, and that's highly needed.
Do you think Diaz will pull much in from the portal? I don't.
I don't think Diaz will be hired but whomever is will have likely $20M+ to work with in the portal. All of our big NIL players are headed to the draft and we will almost certainly go heavier on the NIL cash than in the past to smooth over the roster turnover. Plus, we have almost $0 going to new recruits like other teams have. We should have major portal additions no matter who gets the job.
I am with ya on that. I'm honestly a bit disappointed we didn't get Chesney at this point. I feel he would have been great here but now we'll never know.
As most coaches do, Diaz would likely pull players from the portal in relation to the money PSU is willing to spend doing it. Last year the best WR's in the portal didn't come to PSU even though PSU was an obvious favorite to get to get to the playoffs and deep into the playoffs. And the 3 lower rated portal WR's were brought in proportional to the money PSU was willing to give them. As I remember none of the 3 portal WR's PSU got were in the top 20 rated WR's. From 247 composite, Ross #30, Hudson #48, Pena #26. That was abysmal given that PSU was projected as a sure top 10 team with a returning projected NFL QB. So I do believe if Diaz was given big portal money he can pull in the players from the portal to replace the losses from graduation, defections from the current roster, and losses in the 2026 class.
LMAROFL The dark cloud behind every silver lining. IMHO Kraft's new choice v is still coaching. An announcement will come after their last game. LMAROFL about many coaches turning down PSU. For who, Slippery Rock?
