There was some talent on the team but the program had had one winning season in what 7 years? Croom was a disaster, lost the fan base, etc. Today NIL, transfer just can't compare the two eras.
Mullen proved in year one he made a huge difference. With a more favorable OC games we go bowling in year 1. Just can't compare both eras.

We didnt have the money to buy Arnold. So why didn?t you write a check so we can go get someone better than Shapen? See how dumb this argument is? If we have more money we have a better team. That simple.

I disagree with the notion that you can't point out deficiencies in our roster if you can't afford to fix them personally.

We thought we had Arnold, so we did have the money till it went up.
While I don't give a ton, I do give. At what money level can I have an opinion?

Can you post anything but insults toward me? You really don't bother me bc I'm fine not getting pats on the back here, but you add literally nothing to a discussion.

This is literally my point. You said if only there was a way to get another qb this offseason. I will assume you mean one better than Shapen. Looks like that number is at least $1.2M. We were wiling to go higher than that for JA but not up to 2M. If we wanted a better qb someone has to write the check. Also if we spent 1.5 on a QB you can say goodbye to 2-3 other starters

So, we indeed did have more than 600k for a qb. Thanks.
BTW, chambliss (#8 nationally in qbr) signed for 500k

Of course. But some people either refuse or can?t be objective and think we have what we have because our coach is stupid and just decided to sit on his hands this offseason cause he loves Shapen so much. That guy cant have a good faith discussion so much easier to argue down, therefore my comment is he can go write the check. Dumb it down for him what needs to be done.

Yes I have said that 3 times now. We had more than 600k. We did not have enough to buy JA or the other highly ranked transfers. Write the check so we can.

That?s just it, your discussion points are mostly inane and do not deserve any valid response. This is endlessly pointed out to you by countless other poster here and you never get the point. You are incapable of understanding anything other than what you have already made up your mind on. Therefore consider this me pointing and laughing at you and your breathtakingly ignorant comments and statements. I have had enough of you now, good evening.

Why did every other D1 program who needed a QB not offer him? Why did Ole Miss let us get Kelley Jones? If you are expecting your coach to be omnipotent in the portal you are gonna hate whoever we hire next too.

My discussion points...
Shapen is bad, and paying him was a mistake.
Our coach should have a conf winning % above 0.

Well the season will play out, and either I or you guys will be proven right. Really hope I'm the one that's wrong about 4-8

Man, I will. I've owned my Jans' DA comments for years now. That was a Florida loss that lit my fuse then also, ironically
