I'd honestly like to see how well these high priced transfer players actually produce, and how long they actually stick around.

I get what he's saying, but we all know that's not true.

not gonna win much without it. I can see not buying average players or not being the one to buy players.

Of course he won't. He's just going to rent them.

Sounds good but news flash, unless something changes you need to buy players to compete.

But I don’t mind getting over paid, says Coach Kelly.

Then we aren’t going to get them because everyone else is buying them.

Then don’t look so desperate by saying stupid shite in early spring. I’m fine playing the youngsters and vets we have but Kelly goes and says how we desperately need DTs to the media. Thats a pretty stupid thing to say if your plan is to pay reasonably for portal guys.

It's a real bad look when the head ball coach comes out and says "we're only targeting DT" and we swing and miss.

That, combined with the embarrassing calling BR video for DA-monic, Barrow to Miami and missing on the Wake CB... it's been a tough week
Are we going to have to go to a 3-3-5?


At least we still have 2025 class

And yet osu, ole miss and Texas are spending the money this year and will have teams finish much higher than us at the end of this coming season

That's fine, but it's also all on him if it doesn't work out with the guys he has.

He came out and publicly talked about how bad we need DL. I guess most of us thought he had control over how we were gonna accomplish that.

This sounds more like he had no idea this would happen. Which is pretty frickin frustrating.

Here is a situation where I hope the coach is lying his arse off.

A simple follow up question would have been, “but what if that approach leaves you without an SEC caliber interior defensive line?”

It would have been interesting to hear that response.
