Joe is obviously telling him he is better than who we have on our roster right now or he would not be coming.Quote:

Develop a damn playbook tailored for him and stop looking everywhere else for your solution at the QB position.Quote:

This thread is based on an article from 247 who has a national writer saying he has a good source saying we are the favorite to land him....I'd say there is a pretty good chance.Quote:

I have already pointed to about 5 or 6 elite offensive coaches that have struggled early at schools that did not have quarterbacks to fit their system. It's not as easy as you want it to be no matter how many times you say it. He's doing what he thinks is best to win games as fast as he can.Quote:

So you can make that judgement after one season with a QB who has a career sub 57% completion percentage coming into the year? Dude couldn't throw when Moorhead got here and Mullen supposedly was the QB whisperer. What did you think Moorhead would do in 8 months that Mullen couldn't do in 4 years?Quote:

I think Kentucky caught him completely off guard, but that was as much about dumb penalties setting us back as it was anything else. Florida showed him that he truly had to change the offense and he did against Auburn and LSU. LSU was so bad that he just went back to his normal offense and it worked against A&M and everyone else except Alabama, who we were not beating no matter what system we ran. Iowa was a shit show. Tons of turnovers, errant throws, wide receivers dropping passes, and an unusual mistake by the best safety in college football cost us the game.Quote:

No knock on KT, if he beats him out then great
I will say this about the locker room. The way Mullen and the staff handled Fitz and Williams had that locker room divided. That’s a fact.
And like some have said in this thread , the courting of KB seemed to be a positive thing amongst the players.
Yes, But getting a guy that can read the right read , and make the throw is a HUGE deal.Quote:
