Not sure where some of you are coming from on the Vito bashing? Last I checked he is our beat writer and he has explained issues of paper ownership and the DMN's desire to publish our team's results in a non-urgent way.  Brett didn't vouch for that and I am sure he fought against it.  It's great that GMG has a source who get's info before the beat-writer but let's all be honest and consider that at least kind of weird and not the norm.  Most complaints seem to be (in the past) with a lack of info on certain subjects... but how can he help it if the AD doesn't reach out to him?  I imagine that his "past" (yet due) criticism of the results of our sports programs is what ticks off so many. Imagine if that negative press was instrumental in helping propel us forward in our fanbases's desired outcome of elevating our program's success?

      Returning Players, Transfers, or Freshmen?

      I was worried about keeping Chandler healthy this season. With the excepting of a few snaps (against Army ?) He was injury free the entire season. Knock wood.

      Considering what he has done with the resources at his disposal, that is “elite”. He had a 146-24 record as a head coach in junior college with a national championship runner-up season. You don’t think he had elite players? At North Texas, he was the primary recruiter of Zach Simmons and somehow kept a great player at the hardest position to fill in college basketball at North Texas for his entire career. Last year, he somehow convinced the 2nd and 3rd best players from a NIT winner to stay at North Texas despite much higher NIL offers elsewhere. This year, he dipped into the transfer portal again and has assembled a team off to one of the strongest starts in program history. That is elite. What do you think a guy like that could do with an even bigger NIL budget?

      Returning Players, Transfers, or Freshmen?

      Chandler Morris WILL get P4 offers similar to what Chandler Rogers got at Cal (which I heard was $250K). And we won’t be able to offer anything near that. But considering his injury history and less impressive 2nd half of the season (including WAY too many interceptions) I don’t see him getting a “Godfather” $1M+ offer to go start somewhere. And while $250K was probably a lot of money to Rogers, Morris’ dad has made MILLIONS coaching and being a returning starter with the potential to put up even bigger numbers would probably be more valuable to him as this is his third school already and his career trajectory after next season will probably be NFL tryout, get cut, begin well-paid college coaching career under one of his dad’s many connections. But it only takes ONE godfather offer to change his mind and never underestimate the desperation of P4 boosters.

      Running game

      The college game keeps evolving and with change comes opportunity. The head coaching job now is a lot different than when SL was here. Football tactics and strategies continue to evolve too and much of the offensive plays that SL ran to become successful have been figured out by defenses. Considering SL has already been fired from his next job, it is likely his tenure here would have continued to go downhill as well.
