Ok….

I think both sides of this have made the same points multiple times over. You guys aren’t going to agree and neither side is going to change the other side’s mind at this point. I don’t know how many more 8 paragraph posts we need saying the same thing.

I’m going to start compiling the names of guys I think the staff is considering in the portal. Important to remember that there will still be names entering the portal over the next couple of weeks. I haven’t seen any offers out yet, but maybe they’ll be ones to watch. Will try to get to it tonight or tomorrow.

Agree.
Those two DII transfers that nobody got excited about last year worked out just fine.

They sure did. And I noted this in my “8 paragraphs”. Pline in particular was just awesome. Awesome.

Again I expect a little drop. But hope for 8-3

Unless I'm mistaken, we play 12 games in 2024. We can't go 8-3.
Dave, thanks. I appreciate the note - you are right sir. Twelve games. My mistake.
I’m guessing 8 - 4 maybe.

A TON of unknowns at this point - Who really leaves… who comes back from portal? Who leaves from our opponents. I’m chalking up Ole Miss….

I saw another utc WR hit the portal.

But still haven’t heard about Jay Person? Has he finished eligibility ? That’s a a huge one to me. I assume Artopeus is back

Has SAmford…. Heirs used up eligibility or is he leaving ? Chandler Smith?.. I think Stanton is still there….

:shock: Are either of the Mercer WRs leaving ?[/u][/b]. James or Harper ? Would be surprised if both stayed?

Any help here?

We have had almost 100% turnover in coaches since Clay first arrived (everyone but Duane).
Do you feel like CCH currently has a worst staff than the first staff he had?
Many fans forget that change can also provide opportunity to improve.
I think we have as good a staff right now as we have had.
And if we don’t lose some, Clay has done a poor job.

gofurman, the FCS AP All American team was announced several days ago. You’ve been asking about Jay Person’s eligibility. The AP All Americans list the players names and what year. For instance, Johanning was listed as a Fifth Year. Jay Person is listed as a Sixth Year. Hope this helps.

We will be fornunate to go 8-4. If someone offered it to me right now, I'd take it.

Wait. I thought you disliked our coaching this year. I remember the comment "poor coaching" somewhere on or around the Samford thread. And, I thought you indicated that CCH wasn't that great of a coach on another thread, that he and the staff were just average. What changed your mind?

Dumb post, no coaches are perfect and yes they all made mistakes during the year as all coaches do.

I hope we constantly lose coaches because Clay hires great ones and Furman becomes known as a fantastic place to advance your career.
