  1. I mean, we’re pretty “screwed” already for this season no matter who is playing QB. Completely new staff, no practice time, etc. Fortin taking the reigns at QB could provide some hope for ‘21 and beyond as he could still be classified as a sophomore for next year given the rules around this season.
  2. Fortin is clearly the most talented QB on the roster as of now. If you go back and watch what he was able to do as a true freshman at UNC in 2018 you’ll see why he was a solid recruit out of HS. I fully anticipate some mistakes early given his lack of playing time, but fully expect him to earn the starting job and not look back as soon as he steps on the field.
  3. Whoever is playing long snapper shouldn’t ever see a single snap in a USF game again
  4. I’m all for giving Marsh a shot in the 2nd half. It’s clear McCloud isn’t a D1 capable QB. Give Marsh/Smith some opportunities and begin building for the future
  5. To be clear, having the players on the depth chart does not exclude them from being inactive/on the covid list. All of the OL (and Kegler) were on the original depth chart. I don’t expect Cecil, Harris, or Jennings for Sunday
  6. “Tony is going to go ahead and call this game on USA network. If he can go ahead and have a great game, he can get back in the game as a coach. Tony Dungy might go ahead and coach at Citadel” - Last weeks announcer probably
  7. Give me Johnson with a run heavy, RPO game plan. At least his athleticism would give us a dynamic that we can build on.
  8. Ironic because Charlie called the our punter will hand you a TD play -> see Stony Brook 2017 Nice to be on the other side of those for a change
  9. Ahh correct, it was Stony Brook. That blocked punt in the first quarter was incredible foreshadowing. With one month of practice, this team is more disciplined and sound than any of Charlie’s teams
  10. Charlie won his FCS game (in disappointing fashion) with a roster chalk full of talent. Do you remember scratching and clawing to beat Elon with the best QB in program history? I do.
  11. If you were expecting some type of offensive explosion, then you truly don’t realize the importance of spring practice for a team with a new system. Not to mention one whose QBs are splitting reps. What’s genuinely exciting is this team “executed” better and had fewer penalties than Charlie’s teams (2 years vs 1 month)
  12. If anyone knows this guy, it's CJS. I'll trust his judgement here.
  13. Is CJS really talking a big game though? It’s not like he’s appearing on every media show saying we’re going to win a conference championship in year 1. Don’t confuse optimism with cockiness. There’s a stark contrast between the way Butch Jones operated and how CJS has handled himself throughout his career
  14. Do you think his conversation(s) with Fortin began and ended with a solid commitment in 8 days?
  15. Then you really don’t understand the dynamic of a coach/player relationship. Especially not given the circumstances at play here specifically
  16. If you don’t think CJS and Brice have at least discussed this on a surface level, I don’t know what to tell ya. Cade Fortin officially transferred in a mere 8 days after CJS was named HC. Cade entered the portal all the way back in August. He had multiple P5 offers. You think he was just waiting for that USF offer since August, and then one beautiful morning CJS calls? These players and coaches have relationships. They talk off the record, just like you and your co-workers. Don’t be so naive.
  17. Maybe not officially, but come on. With Trevor coming back, there was no way this kid was going to just sit behind him for his entire career
  18. Some of the people/sources speculating probably don't realize that we signed Fortin. If CJS thought we had a good chance of signing Brice, I hesitate to think he would've still signed Fortin with so much urgency.
  19. I was actually thinking the same thing. He’s not afraid to block, that’s for sure. And his athleticism will play up at that position
  20. Think UGA would still be in the mix after landing Jamie Newman? I have to imagine Brice is going to be looking for somewhere he can go and play immediately. I don’t think the Fortin signing makes that impossible here, but it might be a factor. One plus is he should be fairly comfortable with whatever system we run next year. If he doesn't mind competing with Fortin, I’m all for bringing him in. For his sake, I hope he finds somewhere he can get on the field.
  21. Looks like he's Cincy bound unless something crazy happens.
  22. Unless we are running the triple option, then yeah, that's kind of a pre-req to being a good offense.
  23. If I had to guess, CJS is still leading the staff, with the S&C coach running point with the players.
