Exactly. It was a perfect play call from a X&O standpoint. You get rid of the absolute mid like Kimber and all of a sudden some of these play calls work. Hundreds of these examples on film. I blame the staff for continuing to trot them out, but that’s a different argument and goes back to not...- TheFoodGator

Tbf my original point was about the 3 stars Billy has helped put into the league since 2020 and Mertz is still here. I think Mertz production speaks volumes to Billy’s ability to find his guys and get the most out of them.- TheFoodGator

If we get Badger it will be tough to argue it wasn’t a good portal haul but he’s left himself in a hole by not doing it sooner.- TheFoodGator

Genuinely asking, how does he not? Feel like our fan base is the only one who struggles to give their coach credit for taking a 3* and helping them become a 1st rounder.- TheFoodGator

The biggest mistake Billy and Co made was not hitting the portal harder to replace these bums knowing the Fr behind them wouldn’t be ready. That won’t be an issue, or an excuse, in 2024. Like I’ve said 100x if we don’t get sig. better this year I’ll join the mob to fire him. I have no...- TheFoodGator

The only thing I dismissed on rankings was @Swamp Donkey using whatever he did to get #15, #17 and #23. I suggested to at least use the composite or overall rankings to be consistent. Let’s stay on topic, did Billy not develop those guys at UL, Ocy and Ricky? If not, who did?- TheFoodGator

Okay. I’ll take the L bc I said recruited. I’m referencing a lot of my Twitter posts and typing fast. Regardless, he didn’t develop them? Who did?- TheFoodGator

Ocy was a 4* in the portal only. He followed Billy. I realize I said recruited, bad verbiage, but we were talking about development. He put them in the league. We gonna pretend he didn’t develop these guys to fit a narrative? He didn’t develop Ricky now bc he spent a few years at ASU?- TheFoodGator

Y’all are loud and wrong. This + Ricky, + Ocy I knew when faced with undeniable facts one of you would pivot to “well ackshually, Billy didn’t develop them” Give me a break- TheFoodGator

Dan had 5 kids drafted in 22. Dan also just had a draft class without a single pick, counting transfers out to other schools. If not for Billy and Ricky we would have had our first draft-less class since 1967 Ocy and Trell were immediately among the best players in the team. Ocy being the best...- TheFoodGator

Billy walked into a roster where 2 Sun Belt transfers were immediately among the best players on the team and his guys became an AA and 1st round pick but they can’t develop? Billy has recruited eight 3 stars that have made it to the league since 2020, but can’t develop? Got it. Nobody thinks...- TheFoodGator

I haven’t used ranking to justify anything I’ve said other than we’re #7 this year by the same rankings y’all say are “the same”, making it in fact, not the same. Composites also don’t account for depth. Something that has been a massive issue since Dan took over. We have hindsight now to...- TheFoodGator

So the same guy that won early with the previous coaches players slowly got worse and worse until he saw the writing on the wall himself and quit mid season and you can’t see the issue? Lol There’s busts every year in the composite, Dan was elite at finding busts. Billy has a proven track...- TheFoodGator

Nothing about 20 on defense was similar. Dans failure to recruit even mid defensive players directly cost us a trophy which is incredible considering we finished #7 overall in 2019. #7 to #74 in a single calendar year. Same staff. Only thing that changed was went from majority Macs kids to...- TheFoodGator

We lost some kids in 24 by closing poorly, sure, but have circled back and now have the #7 overall class with the majority of the transfers being either immediate impact guys like Pup or highly rated players with 3/4 years of eligibility.

I completely respect this rational take, but I genuinely just don’t agree. UK performances were abysmal both years. Agreed. Mizzou was an 11 win team last year and they needed a miracle to beat us at their house with Max Brown playing sig. minutes. hindsight confirms the roster was awful, idk...- TheFoodGator
