Totally agree. We have done that... the cal kid this year that didn'tplay much this season, Everett johnson also came from cal. The best in recent history was our center 2 years ago AJ Forbes & tackle Chris walker, both from Nebraska. None of which were as the same caliber as Quinn, horn etc. Only option for transfer back then was transfer down to fcs. Im not sure we get those dudes in the portal now. But again, doesnt mean we shouldn't try.

I’m surprised Everett Johnson didn’t play more he is a very big guy 6’7 290 or 300 pounds.

You are confused with the term “rat poison” coined by the greatest college football coach of all time. You spew the exact garbage that Saban was specifically talking about. Continue to say how great we are and how wonderful everything is is not helpful at all. You and hoops are ego guys. It’s not negative to not want to be complacent.

Im not an ego guy, and ive said many times complacency is killing UM right now, most notably in student recruitment. Ive already said the 2 key places we need improvement on our football team, and I dont believe firing coaches is necessary, aside from a few position coaches I'm hoping Bobby is looking to replace.

I have nothing good to say about Schmidt. I have known of him for decades and first met him briefly in 2003 (when he and my nephew were teammates). Have continued to run across him on occasion. Schmidt has been opinionated and egotistical all that time. I didn't realize until recently how big of a jerk he is. Everyone around him apparently knows that. He has a hard-on for Bobby. Schmidt was mostly a bench warmer for the Griz. His sister is more acccomplished and went to Dartmouth. Played volleyball. Is an ER physician in the Seattle area. Schmidt went to about the worst law school in the US. I assume he couldn't get in anywhere else.

Look at the substance of what he says. He talks in platitudes. He has little or not substance in his views.

I don't disagree. He can be all those things for sure.

And I was wrong. He goes too hard with his Halloween decorations. So I guess I have nothing good to say about him either.

You could argue that he is attributing it to Schmidt's negativity.

He was horribly negative in 2023, and then took credit for their championship run like he was the nick Saban of motivating young men. I dont think being the podcast and X neggy works that way. Its his schtick. An annoying one at that.

I can't stand his schtick, but him pointing out what was obvious is far from being a neggy. Hell, in 2023 every single Griz fan was a neggy after the NAU game.

What exactly are we, the fans, supposed to do about this? Do you think Denny Washington posts on eGriz, or something?

That’s up to you. The QB club at MSU had enough in 2016. AD replaced with SDSU’s AD and a commitment to tear the program down & rebuild it. Choate was hired. That first team was small and young. They were a mess but reflected Choate’s fire & beat the GRiZ . I think Murray completed like 2 passes out of 8, the last looked like it was tumbling. But they beat the GRIZ and the boosters bought in & the rest is still in motion. The biggest difference I see is you just had a 2 loss season. Do you need to tear it down? Certainly not. But major changes are in order.

I have strong knowledge of the game and the program. You don't. That's why you say such dumb things. I also know a number of the coaches, including Bobby, some of the athletic department, a number of the top boosters, one of the biggest boosters is my relative. What professionals who are in place to guide the program. The AD and what else? The president.

hoops your lack of knowledge of the game has never been more apparent than all of your bullshit and bravado from last week. It doesn’t matter who you know…you know nothing relevant to the game and you proved it.

Or someone who WINS championships at every level they've coached - Tony Annese. Do you want a championship coach who goes undefeated or a coach who goes 13-2, loses to the Cats twice, and gets to championships?

How many of those undefeated championship winning coaches has UM had?
 
I don't understand all the talk. This is a athletic competition. You win or you lose. Griz lost this year and every year since Bobby has been coach. You win you stay, you lose you get cut. He has had 20 some chances. If you want to win try a new coach there is nothing to lose. Is 3 and 8 worse than this year? Not to me as long as the coach is making progress. Bobby has no way to get better.

By this definition, Griz are historically losers. And yes, 3-8 is worse. 3-8 doesn't seem like "making progress".

not if you are improving. Bobby isnt going to improve the 3-8 guy will or he's down the road. The only reason to be fcs is the glimmer of hope of a championship. This isn't about 13-2 its about the flat trajectory. Griz are as good as they get until bobby goes.
