Dannen isn’t going to force Rhule to make any in season changes. And why should he? I’m sure they’ll be conversations after Black Friday(if they’re not already being had now) about multiple staff changes in the off season.

Really? Indiana is loaded with talent? No. But they’re all on the same page, they know what they’re doing and they execute well. They know exactly who they are. I’ve heard this talent issue going on for 20 years. It’s just a lame excuse to buy more time. Next year will be good. I tell you.! Just wait!

I read this article a couple of years ago that I wish I’d saved. The author made a pretty good argument that 80% of the jobs in this country are completely BS and shouldn’t exist. Kind of a massive bureaucratic state, everywhere. They add nothing, but suck up plenty of resources. really changed the way I look at the world.

I like different points of view. I would enjoy reading that. I did read that on average every new administrative position at any company creates a need for two more employees.

Yea, it was. This would be top 5 over last 20-years. Bad all around - in about 20 months it feels like we are back to Frost level incompetence. Not good.

1. 70-10 vs Texas Tech... Callahan put in Beau Davis, because the fan were calling for him. He went 1 for 8 with 4 int's. Worst beating we have ever took that I remember

2. 70-31 vs Wisconsin in the Big 10 championship after we had already beat them was a really bad night.

3. 45-14 vs Oklahoma State... 38-0 at half

4. 52-17 vs Missouri... Chase Daniel beat the snot out of us so bad that game he ate his own.

5. Tie

- 56-7 vs Indiana... Rhule lost his team that day. Also lost the fans respect.
- 31-28 vs Northwestern... The onside kick heard all around the world. The fact that was Northwesterns only win in 2022 only adds to the fact.

Unaffordable and not a wise use of financial resources.

I think there's still hope. This team has played well at times. This Raiola injury opens up some new possibilities. Haarberg actually played OK last year before he got banged up from all of the pounding he took. And he's reportedly a better passer this year. USC does not have a great rush defense. So they will put an extra in the box and blitz like everyone does. Nobody has confidence that Satt is smart enough to figure out how to combat that and then do a good job of play calling though. So we're still talking about hoping to get to 24 points and somehow win. It's possible though.

Since Raiola is hurt, if he is able to play I would play him on a more limited basis. He hasn't looked 100% in over a month now. Playing him part time with Haarberg would be an upgrade over what we've had.

I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn or anything like that but, I don’t think you genuinely want serious answers to these questions? I can usually pick up on these things…

Not serious, just acting a little like an enormous douche bag towards those from last week who weren’t too bothered by yet another loss.

Same. Doesn’t seem like Ole Miss is the type of school to win the SEC, EVER.

Maybe he will be at USC again next year. That’s big 10😅

We're not buying out Dannon for $12 million so that we can hire the "best" AD with a $2 million bonus and $2 million a year. Then he can fire Rhule and staff for another $65 million. And hire a new staff for $12 million in the first year. That's upwards of $100 million dollars. How about we just hire a new OC instead?

No news of Satt released or play calling duties changing. Send Rhule packing after this season, it's going to happen anyway. Do it sooner rather than later this time

Press conference could be interesting today. Even homers like Sipple and Callahan are going to start asking about play calling duties.

Alex Golesh. Either blows teams out or gets blown out.

Crazy Russian willing to teabag every other coach in the Big Ten.

We may not win a lot, but it would be a hell of a fun ride. Pearls would be clutched.

I know the Terry kid is still considering us and besides Isaiah Mozee we need to land some big time receivers, not to mention this offense needs to land a big time running back in this class, Connor Booth is a nice little running back but isn’t the answer..

Hire the very best AD from the very best football school.

Let him do his thing.

Iowa fans all told me anything under 10-2 was a failure this year...their team is really old and they have a coach who has been there for 25 years, schedule was real favorable. Their offense still sucks, but they have the second best RB in the nation - makes up for a lot of garbage. They got worked by Ohio St and lost to Mich St who is ass. Kirk is good at beating the teams he is supposed to.

If you would beat the teams you're supposed to , maybe you'd find happiness. Just a thought.

My biggest disappointment with Raiola, is the fact that his presence has not spurred a major uptick in offensive talent. The recruiting rankings and portal signings don't lie.

At this moment sure. But players do improve and DR will improve a ton. DR is a thinker-- that's hurting him at the moment. But with experience and good coaching, it will become a huge asset. And he's a talented kid who is a hard worker. We're not used to having that around here much. He volunteered to jump into mess. Give the kid some time.

Maybe this is symptomatic of our culture. I rarely see the bat shit crazy burning desire to win, anywhere.

There are a lot of talented people in the world. I just don’t think it matches up with maximum effort. People to caught up in the pageantry and all the BS it goes with it. It’s hard to convince them to embrace the grind. Folks are more worried about how comfortable chair is by their locker and if the lighting is good enough for Instagram later. When or lose, we eat steak.
