This is the post of the thread. Hiring Cohen was lazy. If we had actually found a young Byrne type of hire no telling where we would be now.

Hahahahahahaha.

The drop in rank was pretty close - wku dropped 47 spots and we dropped 41 spots

Did WKU return 4 OL, QB, RB, and multiple WR like we did? I honestly don't know but seems relevant to the point.

You need to reevaluate your decision making paradigm bro. That ain’t what that’s about.

We only returned 11 starters on both sides of the ball. Lost Dillon to Washington and RaRa to Georgia. Then completely changed the direction of the offense- to which our QB and WR's bitched and pouted about it all season.

I'm confused. Them paying him 7 figures wasn't about football?

Will Rodgers has nothing to do with what I’ve heard.

We returned 4 OL, a qb, and marks. All starters. That's 6. Then Tulu, walley, Robinson, Thomas. That's WR off the top of my head. Even the link you pasted says 7 of those 11 starters were on offense, 4 on defense.
We returned 7 on offense plus other WR who played a ton in 2022. Not sure if WK did same or not.

Home said Will is getting 7 figures to go to Washington. I said good for him but that's not mo wh well spent. And you're saying will going to Washington for 7 figures has nothing to do with will?

I think you should pay more attention to the changing offense angle... we did drastically and wku did not. 7 returning AR starters may not mean very much when you going to a completely different offense. How many TEs did we even have on the roster?

I didn’t say that brother. Just be patient all will come out when the time is right. There will be many heads explode if what I have heard comes to pass. You have the wrong Will bro.

But that's the whole point. We chose to make that change with a senior AR roster coming back. As opposed to keeping hollingshead and running the AR. I thought that was the whole debate, whether that route would have been better than Barbay. Maybe I misunderstood.

My premise was hollinshead underperformed equally (or maybe more) than barbay all things considered

You're right, I'm lost. So homedawg saying will got 7 figures to go to Washington means another will, not will rogers.

Ok.Well I don't know how many returning OL and weapons he inherited at WK so I can't speak to that. I do feel confident our offense would have been better with him than Barbay though.
But m glad we have lebby now either way

Things around the page have been slow the last couple days. This thread was clearly created for clicks. Kudos

You are thinking way too hard bro. Just let it happen. It’s like golf when you try to hard it goes downhill.

Conference USA Football 2023 Predictions
1. Western Kentucky
With all of the membership changes in Conference USA for 2023, this isn't an easy league to project. However, it's hard to pick against the Hilltoppers at No. 1. Even with a new play-caller (Drew Hollingshead), don't expect WKU's high-powered offense to miss a beat with quarterback Austin Reed and receiver Malachi Corley returning. There are holes to fill on defense with only four starters returning, and this unit will miss Juwuan Jones and Brodric Martin up front, along with defensive back Kahlef Hailassie. Edge rusher JaQues Evans is one of the conference's top returning defenders.

Home said will is getting paid 7 figures to go to Washington. You said that's amazing, good for Will, but that's not money well spent. Then, the thread spiraled out control.
