I’m not close enough to know the dynamics in the winter. Shoot, I was in Canada for last 8 months, but the best coaches know this stuff I believe. Maybe I’m wrong.

It’s all good. It’s apparent that coach CJH felt the relationship with Nico was in good place in winter portal, I also think they had their hands full with current players negotiating. I know people stepped up for this qb search, but couldn’t convince anyone to jump.

I keep hearing this, but why didn’t coaches assess the situation better in January? Nico had a foot out door then. Would have been much easier to talk a guy into leaving before spring.

Now if CJH can pull off a 10 win season with all of this, he will be bulletproof for another 5 years. It’s a high risk high reward game though right now.

I absolutely think this played a part. It’s a pr nightmare for whoever left at this point.

I’ll agree. He should definitely be motivated 🤣

Don’t be surprised if there is a push to get one after this.

Agree on Hurry. Going to have some competition for byu wr.

Some will say it’s CJH job to read the room, and he is to blame for not knowing. I’m not in those meetings, but if CJH was caught that much by surprise, that’s also a problem.

Agree. I think we could benefit from a little more cut throat mentality when telling players to move on, and engaging with portal players.

Lots of second guessing. Why didn’t coaches assess Nico risk in January? Why not engage qbs in winter portal. That’s the frustration. I don’t disagree that it was going to be hard this late to count on a kid flipping on his team.

I don’t disagree with your logic. The type of people that have the drive to be large boosters though, have huge egos, and long memories. Ask auburn though what happens when you lose your boosters backing as a coach. Or Kentucky when you don’t have any. I hope it works out, and I will be rooting...

I guess we decided that Altmyer was never going to pull trigger. At some point you can’t talk anymore I guess. I know we presented him with an offer that would have paid him 3x what he’s getting at Illinois. Thought he’d make the jump, I think everyone thought it was enough to get him to make...

Boosters will be pissed if we take the UCLA kid. It’s the optics. That we got UCLA leftovers. If we go that route, and it doesn’t go well. Heupel will have burnt some important bridges with money guys. I hope it works out.

Got to realize we are asking a kid to bail on his team. I would be more worried if it was too easy.
