I used to think this was a no-brainer…

Disclaimer: in no way does this poll suggest I think Riley is anything but mediocre, and in no way does this pole suggest I want him back. In fact, I’d never watch OSU football again if they hired him.

All that said, I think we’re at a crossroads where we have to objectively wonder which of these two is the worse coach. I even gave a cop out answer of “equally bad”.

Go Beeeavs.

38-14, Condoms.

If you haven’t listened to it, the Sprague/Machado podcast is pretty interesting. They field one of my questions (26:30 mark), but the more interesting part is their dour outlook. When optimistic homers like those two are in the doldrums you know it’s bad.

Some other notes:

— Gary Andersen needs to be on Twitter for recruiting purposes. He’s not in the modern age.

— McGiven lied in his response about Hodgins. This is well documented now. Why lie when it’s something fans/reporters can easily go fact check? Lying to the fans is concerning. Gary saying he doesn’t know why a 4-star recruit isn’t playing is, in essence, a cover for their incompetence, and it’s worse than admitting error.

— Hodgin’s dad confirmed Isaiah was 100% healthy, had one of his best weeks of practice, zero discipline issues. Said Andersen is losing control of coaches and team.

— Speaking of Hodgins, does his brother now de-commit because of how the coaches handled Isiah? If so, we lose a much needed DT. Important to keep the commit and keep Isiah from transferring, yet these coaches are jerking around.

— Would be interesting if CO and WSU fans chimed in to tell us if this is normal for a rebuild. I remember wanting Leach at OSU; when he was struggling people chided me about it and said his personality wasn’t a good fit. Maybe, but he’s a good coach. GA’s obsession with Leach’s offense has ruined his (GA’s) career.

— Why does GA run off QBs? Not just the ones of this roster, but remember in recruiting when they got weird with Davy Moore and the Utah kid (Greek name that I can’t remember right now, but he set every State record). Beavs have now had 6 starting QBs under GA. It’s equally weird on the recruiting trail. What’s his beef with QBs?

— Petras is the only QB hope for this program. Don’t see a winning D1 QB on the current roster.

— When things are at their lowest, the only way is up, and it’s usually not as bad as it seems. Beavs in an upset this weekend??!

Last year and earlier this year some guy showed up here and said something like, “All is not well with GA and the team” and then left. I read some other rumblings like that on other sites. Anyone know what was behind that?

We now have someone saying the coaches are sleeping with co-eds. Sure, legal, but unprofessional and a bit taboo.

I sensed the team chemistry issues in the Nall/Luton interview. Something is going on.

If anyone has info drop it, or email me (contact button on the right).

Go Beavs??

(Translation: don’t lose by 50 so we can claim progress and trust the process!)
