WTF?! Something smells rotten in that end zone facility... I've never been a fan of (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of), but he's starting to hurt our program and if he continues he needs to be shown the door quickly This is an inaccurate and irresponsible accusation based on zero facts. (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) is not the reason for Smith being in the Portal. The reason squarely sits on the shoulders of Smith. AWWW, now. Just a marsupial's way of showing dissappointment. Don't come down so hard on the critter.

I already have to worry about becoming roadkill all the time... Don't give me anything else to stress over.

I don't understand all the anger towards Sawyer. He lost the starting job last season to a more mobile QB, he then got the job back when Barker was hurt and did everything he could to keep this ship on the water rather than sinking it. We have 5 scholarship QB's and we all knew at least 1 would transfer, possibly 2. I thought he would enter the portal immediately after winning MVP of the DG bowl. The NCAA has created this monster, Sawyer is taking advantage of the situation presented to him. I wish him the best and thank him for what he did last season. I hope my post didn't come across as anger. I have no ill will toward Sawyer, I hope he succeeds wherever he goes. If he has talent around him, I think he will. As I wrote, he proved last season that he's a winner. I don't know what circumstances factored into his decision, I could name a dozen possibilities and still miss the one that played the largest role. His decision caught me by surprise, but I'm not angry. I too thank him for last season and sincerely wish him the best....unless, of course, he ends up at South, then all bets are off.

Tron had one foot out the door when (The HC we don’t speak of)âs staff came in and the receivers left bc they were buried on a deep depth chart. With Sawyer, itâs likely he just wants to go home and play football in Pensacola. Was told he was considering a transfer before the Spring even began.

Maybe someone can pull the thread from when Blakeney retired and Neal took over. There were a lot more transfers that what we have so far. Adjusting to a new staff is hard.

I don’t feel it necessary to reveal anything I’ve been told, but it was definitely a very different situation than the other transfers. That alone can be seen from the surface.

That alone can be seen from the surface. We'll see how it shakes out for him. I like the kid, we'll see if he can be a superstar at Houston. I feel like some of these guys were coached up really well, and played well in Neal and Vic's systems. Not saying they aren't talented, but it will interesting to see what happens to some of them in new environments. I'm also curious to know how robust (The HC we don’t speak of)'s system is. Is it just X's and O's, or is he building a culture. I think that's really important.

That alone can be seen from the surface. Everyoneâs opinion is shaped from their own personal point of view. From what I heard all the blame does not fall on the new staff, as they are two parties involved in any discussion. Also, donât believe as bad as many portray it was. Think is was more that he disliked Neal and Vic leaving more than (The HC we don’t speak of) and staff coming in. And make no mistake, a transfer to WVU was discussed with folks in Morgantown.

Lots of message board speculation. Minimal truth.
