Hearing this guy is being considered:

Waylee is on the fence about entering the portal, and they hire would help keep him here.

Also, another rumor going around at the game is two big time D starters are going to announce their return. It’s not Shae since he announced. So maybe Gibbs and ?

Why would bringing in the guy he used to play for and TRANSFERRED AWAY FROM help keep him here? I'm confused by this.

If my roommate invited my ex girlfriend to come live with us, I'm out! lol

Given how bad the play calling was at times I would tend towards believing that rumor

The play calling was bad for the majority of the game. If It was Grant's audition, he failed. I really hope we get someone from outside the program to take over the offense.

Grant and Tripodi need to kick rocks. The WR and OL were not good - as in, not good all year. Special Teams needs an upgrade too. Make it so, Saw.

His point production was absolutely putrid though:

2023 - 131st in the nation
2022 - 91st
2021 - much better at 39th
2020 - 116th

First glance seems like a lousy hire.

Meatchicken State fans on X are extending condolences to us. That can't be good.
