Bunch of softball questions.

I get it. You want these guys to come back so you're nice, but let's hear a question on why he can't find a QB that throws better than 50% or why he can't find a decent QB coach or why he can't beat winning teams. 

Stuff like this already makes me more pessimistic than I am. Littrell mentions his frustration with the transfer portal and NIL not having any rules. SO WHY AREN'T YOU TAKING ADVANTAGE LIKE THE OTHER SCHOOLS ARE.

No excuses my ass. Get out there and do something, you're the freaking head coach. Be proactive, not reactive for once. They're called diamonds in the rough for a reason. They're few and far between, and they're damn sure not how you build a complete football team.

Yeah, early in the podcast he came across as griping. I thought it got better as it went along, but that early stuff was brutal to listen to.  He said he felt good about the team, but always gave the “if we can stay healthy” disclaimer.  
Let’s see what happens in this last signing period.  Still have a few more scholarships left. He made it seem like best available was the goal. We’ll see.

Some of you seem to never watched a college coach interview show.  They are generally not inquisitions, but do provide fans with a lot of information.  The truth is that you are more likely to get a valid response by asking questions that don't irk the interviewee.

Example, coach why was the record so bad last year, versus coach what are you going to do to be better next year.  Both questions will probably get the same response; however one is going to sour the tone of the interview and one not. 

Littrell like 90 plus percent of coaches is a master of coach speak, positive but not committal at the same time.

      Dig a little deeper and you will see that is not true. 5 star DB from last year has entered.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      You'll see that you will enjoy your time and money a lot more. I quit about 2 years ago, when it became apparent that G5s were just minor leagues for the P5s. I knew it was coming, as I posted about this exact situation for years before on here. And there will be many others that are much higher up the foodchain than us who will see this happen to. I see the breakaway having 30-50 schools for their own athletics. Really, if the top 24 schools wanted to form their own setup, they could easily. Texas, A&M, OU, LSU, etc...they all have the eyeballs and the media and the legislative support from their states. I loved getting 6+ hours back on Saturdays in the fall. I loved using those funds towards family trips and better entertainment opportunities for all of us. like concerts and golf. To be honest, the time was better to get back than the money. More time with family and friends on the weekend, as well as more time for stuff with church and the community was the best surprise of all. I don't even blame players for getting theirs, either. More money and more exposure in the P5s that these guys grew up rooting for and dreaming of playing for all adds up to an easy decision for these guys. Basically, the players are catching up to what the coaches got to do without any qualms for years. Again, if we hadn't quit on the program back in the early 80's with the ridiculous drop down to i-aa when the SWC was one of the kings of the NCAA, it just nuked the program. You lost generations of fans and alumni from the past and the future, most of whom just picked up another school to root for or just become pro fans only, all while completely dropping the program's status with TX HS coaches and parents, maybe things would be different today, I'd like to guess at a minimum, we could have been a UH type program, maybe higher because of our location. Had we had any vision, the old Big Eight would have been the perfect conference to go all in to join instead of the SWC. We could have given that entire league a DFW presence, instead of just OU. And getting to play OU, Nebraska, Colorado, OSU, KU, KSU, Missouri, and ISU as conference mates in both football and hoops would have jumped us over ALL of the SWC privates. UH and Tech would've been peers instead of being steps above us as SWC members. But we didn't...we just gave up.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      I applaud his effort to become innovative. Let's try something like this - corporate sponsors provide a pool of money that is made available based on performance in the league and all-conference teams. Graduating players would get their bonus in the year it happens, while players with remaining eligibility would get their bonus at the beginning of the following football season once school has started (which would mean that they are still enrolled in the same school where they performed and gained the all-conference honors). This would perhaps entice players not to bolt once they have success.

      Head coach, not anymore

      I think it's pretty clear that Deion wants a revolving door of players every year. And his best players are staying, and at least some of those who entered the portal were encouraged to do so.

      Head coach, not anymore

      This seems to be the norm that we will live with in college football. But in Dion's case, when you recruit players with a sales pitch on doing what is best for "me," don't be surprised when they have no loyalty to you.
