Do you consider recruiting, player development, and culture part of coaching?

I believe there are no remaining starters on defense for Griz. All will graduate and are done and two starters have now hit the portal. I hope the coaches have a contingency plan.

Be careful what you wish for, it could be the Retirement Portal.

That's not accurate.

I also realize there are 100 kids that need to do their part also. You can lead a horse to water but ultimately the horse needs to figure out the drinking part.

Klucewich started a few games I believe. Loud split reps. Nuce was starting when healthy.

Still graduated or lost 90% of our starters
So, FBS coaches just offer full scholarships to transfers who aren't good enough to play for them? Bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it works out.
OR, and bear with me here,
It could be that a radio host/journalist, who doesn't editorialize, but sometimes editorializes when it fits a narrative, might not know what the fuck he's talking about.

Anyone else hear rumblings about Nuce?
What have you heard?

There was a chance he was going to retire from football.
I’m not sure that’s true. Maybe MSU?
It astounds me sometimes how out of touch you are about this.
11 guys can be on the field at any time.
Football rosters are 100+ guys every season.
Most teams bring in 15-30 new players every year.
The math doesn't add up for all of those guys to play. I'd say most teams have at least 15-20% of their roster at any time made up of guys that will never play for them. This is completely normal.

I am hoping that he is just F'ing with you now.
I sure hope so, too.
...go on...lol
On a semi-related note: We've seen a lot of people talking about "development" in the last year or so. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are roughly three hours per week to "develop" in games during the season. The guys practice pretty much every day during the season.
This is part of why I don't really like the narrative of "[player] wasn't given a shot to prove himself", etc. This isn't college baseball where there are 40+ games to experiment with. I would hope that if a dude is consistently crushing it and outperforming the guy ahead of him on the depth chart in practice, he would get that "shot". In other words, I have to believe that the "shots" are given to every player every practice. Could be wrong.
