The dead giveaway is that the statement doesn’t have “like”, “real”, “literally”, or “bro” anywhere.
Simple difference in our perspectives - I do not think they are getting paid their value for NIL. They are paid to play. If you think they are getting actual value for their likeness, great for you.
Alton is not worth a couple hundred thousand in marketing dollars in Colorado
Zach Evans did not have a $500,000 value in Mississippi for his NIL
The UT offensive line does not do enough social media postings to justify $50,000 each or whatever they are getting. No one knows who each one is, let alone all of them.
NIL is pay to play/sign. It is not market value for advertising their image. No other general student gets that benefit of pay to sign with UH. A band member paid for a gig on a road trip is equivalent to the football players stipends, not the broken NIL system.
I seriously hope not. I think our players would be mature enough to be above that.
CDH calls a running play like he did multiple times and they don’t work is that not insanity? Our QB can’t find his reads what is that? A TTU avid fan compared our QB to the low bid on gov’t goods as he followed his back up role in Lubbock. Maybe CDH needs a change at QB so we the fans can make a better assessment and enjoy seeing our offense continue in the tradition of dynamic football. GO COOGS
But heaven forbid we criticize the players, who now can make money through NIL deals. Oh no.
Everyone is to blame here.
In his presser today, CDH said the 1st turnover on downs with the the 4th and 1 was 100% the RB’s fault. So he doesn’t think the playcall is insanity. Delusional with no sense of resonsibility
FIFY
He’s so far past terrible at this point…it’s time for him to go out to pasture. You think any stud recruits are going to want to come play for The Dud and his vaunted Sloth Offense…JHC, how long are PK and Pez going to let this trainwreck go on
His offense sucks. No recruits want to come play for a loser.
He said that after looking at film, it was clear that the OL had blocked it right and the RB just had to avoid one second-line defender, and he failed to do that.
Where’s the insanity in that?
I could look the other way if Smith had just had a hiccup and threw the ball away on 4th but it so exemplifies the Holgorsenian way. Screwy time management and play-calling leading to screwy results.
That is not a high QB IQ to throw it OB on 4th down, but once again Briles torches Belk. Over 200 yards passing in first half again. We appreciate people that showed up, but booing and leaving early in the University’s first B12 game is not a good look. The student section and band looked good, maybe we can get a few true fans of the university out of that group.
The insanity is we usually fail on 4th and 1 runs up the middle. Even if its technically the correct call every time based on alignment, if it usually fails, its not the correct call.
Every time you do something and fail the odds increase that you will fail at it again. You don’t beat teams using your lowest probability play calling.
If our oline is too small or too weak to move people then why can’t we have just one QB option that we practice that would give our QB more flexibility. Hell, have one veer trap or veer option. Smaller schools (service academies) have been using those for years to neutralize the size and strength issue.
Oh hell no! Dana wants to be Chuck Knox.
A good and decent coach chews people’s azzez behind closed doors but N-E-V-E-R throws his players under the bus in public at the college level.
If the lines are too small or too weak we need a new strength and conditioning staff.
IMHO it might be more productive to spread the field and throw it then start running later.
Our backs hit the hole so slow on short yardage. We need a Farrow or Haynes type of guy who makes a quick decision and will punish a defender to get a couple extra yards. Until then, don’t hand it off short yardage against elite D-Lines like TCU and expect it to work.
Hate to horse a deadbeat but who recruited those slow backs ?
