As disappointing as losing Mathis would/will be, I gotta say - $600k seems like a lot for a 1-2 year rental who has had one good year and one average one. That number surprises me but maybe that’s market now days, idk

It's also kinda weird that she lists CBs and DBs as PK draft picks.

It's not even her list. She didn't create it. It was provided to her. Now she's regurgitating it on social media.

You guys are all missing the real silver lining of this entire Mathis debacle. CTJ is now referring to our esteemed head coach as Steve Sarklostagain instead of the notably inferior Steve Sarklossian.

It's the market when your team is fucking awful and the likely 4-8 season means you are firing your football coaching staff.

Indeed, no, sir. I've just added Sarklostagain to the repertoire, so hat tip. Steve Sarklossian will outlast his namesake's tenure at Texas on this board.

sarklostagain is such a good nickname that i'm having trouble remembering what his actual last name is.

Not a good recipe for success when our weakest position on the roster is also the one with some of the most deadweight

He was the Defensive Coordinator - and her point is that Bo Davis and PK put people into the league.

Are we talking Edge, LB, Safety, OT or K?

Edge. Dorbah, Abiara and Thomas are just roster space for a position that is already thin as hell.

I remember when 7-Win Steve was considered an insult rather than a goal.

Grad transfers don't have to enter the portal by May 1st, correct? So there could be another small wave of guys entering in the summer who are set to graduate after summer classes?

That's the thing about these NIL bidding wars. You're basically up against every other program in the country, since it only takes one program to decide that they really, really have to have the player and thus drop a silly amount. We have deep pockets, but I assume not deep enough to outbid every program for every player.

How can you know Abiara wasn’t going to be a good player?  If you are a “developmental staff” then at some point you have to develop somebody.

Abiara was a project who was in legal trouble in high school, basically got processed by Notre Dame and then was a part of our late scramble to put together the 2021 recruiting class that was full of holes. It's then mentioned multiple times last fall by 9.95ers that he was having some maturity issues. The writing was on the wall very early.

I think you're misunderstanding the term "developmental" as it pertains to this staff.

When you see people saying they're a developmental staff, what they mean is that this staff is trying to "develop" a fucking clue and they're not even close to being there yet. I hate to be the bearer of bad news since it sounds like you might have just woken up from a multi-year coma, but this staff went 5-7 last year, gave up 57 points at home in a loss to Kansas, and has had a hard time being able to identify their assholes from a hole in the ground. So they're super developmental right now.

Sounds like the only option left is to just recruit Will Anderson into the portal. Hate that we have to do this to such a nice guy like Saban but times have changed.

So far so good.

My understanding is that this is also what Steve Sarkisian said at the halftimes of the OU, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Baylor games during the 2021 season.

And to be fair, he wasn't wrong. 

I didn’t think the offseason could be more depressing than the actual season but holy fuck was I wrong.

He didn't exactly have world beaters ahead of him and I'm not even sure he played in the spring game.

Go back and watch highlights, and then remember we got Ewers, and you'll change your mind.

let's see how the 9.95ers sell what is clearly a huge miss.

Why pay $9.95 when the resident sunshine-pumpers will do it for free? There have been and always will be excuses for every miss, that's never changed across all the failed coaches we've had.
