I mean we'd probably have a better chance getting him then Gonzalez
Wow! How many years (and schools) has he already played?

How many Ph.D’s does he have?
I like the guy. He seemed pretty enigmatic until after he left UM. Once I understood his life situations, as he offered to the public once he transferred, I became a big supporter. I hope the Griz and he can have some conversations about coming back.

BRING CLIFF BACK! We need the leadership and gritty/ competitive attitude he brings to the table.

This is just comical at this point, nobody in the Big Sky is going to beat them, good thing they aren’t eligible for winning conference and championship
Jaden Rashada has played like 3 college football games in his 3 year career. He was the third string at Georgia and clearly wasn’t gonna win the job this year. Plus he flopped at ASU. He’s just like Malachi Nelson and look where he is now.
I do think SAC will be good but I don’t think they’re gonna be this unstoppable juggernaut that people are making them out to be. I predict SDSU gives them the business Week 1.

Interesting. Can't imagine UM would bring back McDowell, for various reasons. He did a terrific job for the Griz, even though he fell off a bit late in the season. Now that it's known that he did get hurt in Frisco, and I saw the play and how he reacted and then rode the bike on the bench, I know he didn't give up or back off in the 2d half (as it seemed he may have). After seeing the 2 QB's at the start of the season last fall, I thought they'd be good and ultimately be better than McDowell. I was wrong on that. Had McDowell played last fall and had the same season as the prior year, the Griz would have had a better season. UM was close at QB last fall, at least at times, but no cigar. Not having strong and consistent QB played really impacted and slowed the team last fall. I always like McDowell, even though I didn't think he was a great player. As most of you have said, he often got the job done, though, especially on 3d down.

I don't think he flopped at ASU. Didn't he start at first and then get hurt. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Would love to see Clif back, but it's a tough process.
He did get hurt but I thought he came back at the end of the year though and wasn’t very good. I could be wrong though.

I just looked at his stats at ASU. He played 2 games, then came back for the last game against AZ. He's the only qb who threw a pass in that last game. I have no idea how he played that season. Just had seen a few sentences in some articles. But I don't think he "flopped" at all.
Well point being though if he were all he’s cracked up to be, he wouldn’t have landed at Sac State.
#1 in the country? No way

McDowell was a difference maker and play maker and I thought BP set up the offense to perfectly compliment CM's skill set. CM stressed defenses and defensive game plans like no other quarterback the Griz have ever had except DD. CM is one of the reasons the Griz were in the Natty in 23. The other being, and probably more impactful, Junior Bergen.

I think the Griz coaches need to do everything in their power to get either Cole Gonzalez or Big Cliff back for this upcoming season.
Bet there is lottsa NIL money in Missoula to lure McDowell back to U of M. I would welcome him. He was a baller! Took one short look at that trashy Temple campus and the mediocre McNeese team and then he is back on the road again. He looked good in maroon and silver...
