interior oline and dline have to be revamped. Everyone inside, both sides of the ball.

And I dunno who was coaching the linebackers to spill everything outside, (DL OR LB COACH) but it was such a HORRIBLE plan to see every linebacker attack the LOS with the wrong shoulder then from what I’ve ever been taught or seen taught was mind boggling.

Yes, he was frustrated. But I dont think its what or why you think it was. Josh didnt want William to go off on the Ref for bad call. He went and talked to them, and let them have it.

Any other coach wouldve gotten next call.

We got an absolutely back breaking offsides call.

Lol if Vandy can buy a team so can we

If so, why did we get outbid on Cayden Harris out of Haywood County? 4* in state player and a position of need. He ended up at UGA because we wouldn’t match Vandy’s offer. I’m not a huge fan of his, but the facts layed out are correct.
There are teams that wouldn’t pay in the past because of the fear of getting caught and ruining their reputation as an academic school. That has all changed now. Vandy is rich and so are the Catholic schools like Notre Dame and Mormon schools like BYU and Utah. There are teams now who can spend money that have always had money, but they wouldn’t have paid players in the past. Why is Indiana so good now? Because Mark Cuban is buying players and for the most part it is legal as long as you set it up correctly.

IU is simply better at evals and development than pretty much everyone right now.

They had the 25th ranked portal class despite taking 23 guys.

Boo carter had nothing to do with it, we just flat out didnt want to pay him the extra cash

Yes he did. The dbs in the room recognized the dumb **** Boo Carter was doing and asked for more money because he got what he asked for while missing workouts and among other things

It was a “if he’s getting paid, we should be too”

Ricky Gibson and Jakobe both asked for more.

In retrospect, yes.

But after last year everyone would’ve picked to pay Boo over Jakobe

Oh, absolutely. As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. I’m certainly not blaming the coaches for making the choice that anyone would have made at the time. That would be the equivalent of those fans who criticize Heupel for starting Milton in 2021, as if he should have known that Hooker would shock everyone, in spite of getting severely outplayed by Milton in fall practice. These coaches can only go by what they’ve seen.

Absolutely I can and will blame the coaches for making that choice.
Boo Carter was a problem in the locker room from his entire freshman year.

He was allowed to be a nuisance and heupel fed the cancer and let the cancer grow.
