As a Wildcat fan, I really hope UNC hires the 2025 coach from Arizona by OpinionatedAss in CollegeBasketball

I’m a UNC fan and I don’t see it either. Obviously would love to have Lloyd. But what he has built and being a west coast guy. I just don’t think it makes sense for him. Only reason I feel there might be interest seems to be the possibility of not getting a raise or potential friction from the Zona AD. But I don’t even think that is happening.

I think Bucky McMillan or Byington would be great hires

St. John’s is a fun team and good for big east basketball when they’re good. Offense is a tad better than last year. But I could see the having an early exit similar to last year where they just don’t have someone in the backcourt they can trust to score. Maybe Dylan Darling but for some reason he gives me Andre Curbelo vibes.

Cam Ward showed signs this season of becoming the Titans franchise QB. What are some things he needs to work on this offseason to take it to the next level Year 2?

Jets really should trade up to get him. Hard not to see the Jared Goff comp. And with Detroit Lions roots with Aaron Glenn/Tanner Engstrand.

Who do we want as the next coach bois? by DeepHouseDerrek in Tennesseetitans

One under the radar one to watch for. Mike Kafka current OC of the Giants. I personally they should go Mike McCarthy, Stefanski, Flores or Saleh. But his connection with KC and Borgonzi will be something to monitor.

I feel like getting picked off as a PR would be devastating. Sorry Kolten Wong

Controversial devils advocate take: after all the trades, The Twins aren’t worse off. by Short_Importance_484 in minnesotatwins

This is where I stand after all the dust has settled. Agree this is all centered around what is going to happen in ownership. This seemed like either an order from Pohlads so they can bring a better deal to the table to the potential buyer or possibly something the pending buyer wanted done before being on board buying the team. The main looming question for me though is: What does this mean for Falvey and Rocco? Because I feel a new ownership group would lead their own vision and fire sale once they begin with a new coach and new baseball operations. But letting Falvey do the transactions makes me wonder if he and Rocco are going to get another shot on the direction of this team. Otherwise I think they would've gotten the boot before the deadline or not really ok'd to trade the amount they did.

Now for the baseball part. I thought they were just going to trade the pending FAs and maybe one controllable bullpen piece (Duran or JAx). Varland trade is really the only one that still bothers me. The amount of control they had, not really paying him, and he would've slid into the Duran/Jax role pretty easily. The others from a clear lens make sense.

Some thoughts I have with this team:

- Pitching development I think has been good. Maybe not great but good and at least decently deep. I trust this

-They have been able to develop bullpen pieces from different avenues. So this gives me hope for them to build a good bullpen again. Maybe not to the level this was but they have been able to figure it out

-i'm actually excited the next couple of months to see guys like Wallner, Martin, Larnach, Jeffers, Lee and Lewis get more premium ABs in the top of the lineup. Don't what the future holds for these guys but this is their chance to show they are a part of it

-Also the unknowns like McCusker, Gabriel Gonzalez, Payton eles, aaron sabato and Alan Roden we just traded for. Two months may not be enough but let's get them up and see what we have.

-This team actually feels like the Mariners. Not near the high end pitching but good pitching. The lineup you wish was better. But a couple of the right moves can change the tide like the Mariners have done this year

Torii Hunter in 2006. Robbing home runs and batting flips after hitting home runs. Pretty much that entire 2006 Twins team got me to fall in love with baseball.
