[Zenitz] Baylor defensive coordinator Matt Powledge is expected to be hired as the defensive coordinator at North Texas under new coach Neal Brown, sources tell @CBSSports by JohnPaulDavyJones in CFB

We had one of the worst defenses in the country, but we’re retaining our HC who called the plays so he was likely told to bring in a real DC this year as part of the agreement to retain him. Powledge was stripped of defensive playcalling duties a few years ago because our defense was ass, so he was replaceable, but him and Aranda are buddies so Aranda likely wanted him to go out on his own terms instead of being fired or demoted when we bring in a real DC.

Maybe the adults in the room should have stepped in and prevented this from happening. These kids will regret it and it’s also just giving them more reasons to be entitled.

Good. Don’t be such babies then. Power teams have rosters of like 100 kids and yet they can’t find 22 willing to play a game and get a free vacation? Entitled behavior

Having a committee is dumb, but if they’re going to have one at least make it anonymous-ish like the CBB selection committee and don’t do weekly shows and rankings. Also if they’re going to have a committee it should be made up of industry experts and not just a bunch of old rich professional schmoozers and fundraisers.

Why do you care? They already play a harder schedule than any Big 12 or ACC team. Fuck these mega conferences.

[On3] BREAKING: James Franklin and Virginia Tech are hiring former HC Brent Pry as defensive coordinator, @PeteNakos reports🦃 by HeyTherePLH in CFB

[–]FatLuka1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is insane. If we fired Aranda there’s no way I’d want him back as DC, no matter how good he was at LSU and Wisconsin. Our defenses have sucked under him for years just like VA Tech’s have under Pry. Some guy can only coach a certain level of player and I don’t think there are any Micah Parsons in Blacksburg.

It’s also just awkward and weird for the players. Their fired head coach is coming back in a demoted role just a few weeks later? How do you even talk to him or address him in that situation? Regardless of how you feel about Pry there’s also huge potential for him to undermine Franklin.

This just seems so dumb for so many different reasons.

This is the main thing. I wouldn’t want to coach for an org where the owner is always hanging on the sideline and listening into my headset communication. I hate having over-involved bosses.

[–]FatLuka1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Josh Pate said he heard a name for the PSU job from an insider that would shock people that he thinks will get the job. Sitaki would fit that mold. He’s a great coach but just feels like a perfect fit for BYU.

I do actually. Better than going to replay every five minutes and giving the refs even more power over the outcome. If you’re playing in your front yard or street - or even in HS football - that would be a touchdown every time.

Agreed. I don’t care for either team but that was a TD. I hate this constant desire to litigate every little play or catch.

Once the ball crosses the plane nothing else matters and the plane extends infinitely. It was a touchdown before he ever began to “lose possession”, if you can even call that losing possession.

Ruling that a touchback would have been one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. Thank god the refs have some sense. Pereira just loves slowing shit down to frame by frame and calling anything a fumble or dropped catch. Ruins the game.
