Be glad he is not in the portal. Why would he? He was Rookie of the Year and is the guaranteed starter for the next 3 years. If we can manage to put a defense together and replace Sibley at RB we "should" have a winning product. Also the CAA is not what it once was and we may have a a legit shot to be very good over the next three seasons

We won't be...Gattuso is a loser with an uncanny ability to lose. He makes everyone around him worse, has no personal accountability...just an overall disaster of a coach who will more often than not find a way to lose. I wish the kids success in spite of having this loser strapped to their proverbial back while they try to run.

We have been saying this for years. We have a rookie QB that sets touchdown records and leads us to the second round of the playoffs, but then the team gets worse and worse. Right now the only silver lining seems to be we are one year closer to having a new head coach. While Benson may not have the balls to fire a friend, worst case we are one more year close to retirement. I mean GG isn't getting any younger.

Win, but not a friend: get fired. (I'm in the camp that it was time to move on from WB, but either way he was a winner who seemed to get the most out of what he had)

Lose, but be a friend: lifetime contract.

GG has had some great pieces but always seems to find a way to get less than the sum of all the parts. The opposite of WB.

When I clean out my garage it tends to get messier before it gets cleaned. At one point it will look like a disaster that can never be fixed then magically it all comes together. I think the school needs to "Clean the Garage" and start over fresh. Short term it might hurt, but frankly it can't get any worse than these last 3-5 years of UA sports.

Poff had a great year showed a ton of potential...I remember when Undercuffler was in a similar situation and the kids career folded like a deck of cards in part under GaLosers leadership. Who's to blame? Who knows...but offensive line was dreadful and 'Cuff really fell off.

Well he did lose a bunch of great receivers to graduation and the pros which hurt Cuff and made it hard for him. It almost seems that he was an avg arm with great targets to make catches.

That's an indictment on Gattuso though, ultimately. He didn't replenish the receiver cupboard for JUC. That says more about Gattuso than JUC.

Updated Transfer List:

Carino- QB

Szalwoski- QB

Blanton- RB 

Brandan Jiminez- WR

Rob Jackson- DL

Jacob Hargreaves- DB

Devante Ford- DB

Andy Ambroise- DB

Brendan Durken- LS

Jack Barnum- K

To me Hargreaves and Ford are interesting.  They received significant playing time but our pass defense was poor...so not sure what to make of those two. 

Jack Barnum is a surprise- highly touted kicker and only a freshman. 

Jiminez wasn't going to break into the WR core, IMHO, for significant minutes.

While Poff is amazing, we need a really capable backup...so, we are going to have swing big.  

Blanton was not going to see significant time, which he likely expected he would after transferring from UCONN.  He has a year left.
