I'm going to say....not thinking that negatively yet...think we will be fine
SIAP- Malachi Coleman Reopens Commitment
- Thread starter RedCap
- Start date
Yes. He is but that’s ok, we will be fine. I wish to god this hadn’t happened but we are where we are. I think of MJ and his family more than a silly game right now.
Oh good, our other WR coach that was arrested in Lincoln. 🤦♂️When we hire Williams he will be back
Hasn't been pinched since then. Probably found the uber app on his phone.

Bingo. Plus his whole “I’ll only come if you keep this coach” reeked of something Frost would say. The program is way more important
I would say the order of importance is
Oline/Dline transfer portal stat.
Athletic training that emphasizes mobility and athleticism.
Quality Oline and Dline coaching.
Better practice structure and habits.
QB portal.
Probably a few other things.
Coleman’s recruitment
I get what you mean but he has not been in trouble since. Plus the only way to replace a dynamic WR coach is to bring in another dynamic WR coach.
Let me make this clear. NOT ONE not one person one recruit will rule this program period. That his his option. Go for it!
Well, listening to krvn this afternoon, their sports guys didn't think it was a program killer. Like to have him but didn't wow them in games they saw/called.....just repeating what they said 🤔
Appreciate all of your optimism.
Let me change gears then… how often have we seen the Big10 won on 3-star talent? And not just West division. Talent is skewed east.
It seems to me that it’s the teams with the most Talent that win more often than not. Seems like we haven’t had it in a decade, mostly 3-star athletes, and the result is on the field. Someone tell me why I should be excited about this guy, UNLESS HE DRAMATICALLY IMPROVES TALENT?
I get Development, but there’s a difference between developing a burger, and a wagyu ribeye. One’s just Better, and it can’t be changed.

Could very well be the case. Just not a great omen that our most talented player on paper, from a class pretty lacking in talent Before this hire, immediately de-committed.
He has a very short window to pull a rabbit out a hat, or a lot of boosters are (correctly) gonna stop supporting this program. Or just stop from lack of interest in a team destined for mediocrity.
Does he have any other committable offers, I thought most told him see ya....
Dallas Buyers’ Club? Really?
Just sayin. There are plenty of boosters ready to pull the plug over this hire, over specifically the last three hires. I’m one of many. Riley and HCSF consistently recruited mediocre classes, and have had consistently mediocre results. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that our win % has been reflective of our Talent? What am I missing?
Seems harsh. Players commit to coaches just as much or more than they do the school.
No I was exaggerating but I bet he was bailed out immediately after unless the bail was insanely high

Not anymore they don’t. Not as much with NIL. They’re go where they’re paid to go every bit as much now. We’re at a disadvantage compared to a lot.
You commit to the school, not the coach, and I have little patience for an in-state kid not to understand that. He can gtho.
You're spot on, Tatiana. The December signing day is 20 days away. That's plenty of time to build relationships and flip a number of 4 and 5 star kids. Then bring in some starters off Top 20 programs through the portal after that.
NU may not have been to a bowl game since Obama was president, but damn it, we've got high standards.
Maybe once upon a time, but not anymore. These kids commit to coaches who they develop relationships with. If those relationships are not there anymore, that commitment is out the door.
