Worst top 10 team of all time and it is not even close.
Where do I start.
Honestly, we lost 13 guys to the NFL. Long story short, unlike most teams who lose numbers to the NFL, nobody behind them on the depth chart was developed. Our stud starters last year consisted mostly of transfer players who were apparently developed at their prior schools.
Fast forward, we thought we were transfer magicians in 2023 and could strike gold twice in 2024 but we got mostly entitled, money seeking duds.
Having arguably the worst OL the last several years was hidden by Jordan Travis and Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson and Trey Benson. To name a few. (All transfers)
Then…..we add in a coach who won’t relinquish the play calling or fire these coaches who can’t coach. His play calling is atrocious this year for some reason.
I would mention moving on from Cam Ward to DJU but I feel any QB would suffer behind this OL so even though he was a shitty recruit, it is not all entirely DJU’s fault. The QB’s behind him aren’t doing much different. (OL can’t hold a block fir more than 1.5 seconds)
Lastly, our receivers can’t catch. We lead the league in drops. I think we’re somewhere around 30 drops. If even a few of those are caught we are probably 4-5 right now. Maybe 5-4.
Money is an issue. I think our highest NIL earner is like 650K (back up QB too) where as most of the teams in the Top 10 have multiple 7 figure players. What does that tell you.
Defense is much improved but they are on the field too long because of the offense.
Fire them all but our DB coach and hire a stud DC and OC. Obviously turn the play calling over and be more of a CEO type of coach.
