Potential Head Coaches

Well that's that. Now starting today hope Best and company are working the portal..hard. Looking at rosters throughout the BSC teams like MSU, UC Davis, Idaho, UM, SS and even NAU are loaded with portals and transfers that are starters. This is the way and we need to get much better at that game.

The portal matters, not disputing that. I am not sold on using the transfer portal to fill the majority of scholarships. I hope we don't lose a bunch of players to the portal. We really need a quick turn around, otherwise we will likely be playing 2 money games a year to balance the books. Hopefully we can hang onto most of our key contributors. The changes to roster limits will create more opportunities to add talent through the portal. The question that remains to be answered is if our coaches will be able to identify the FBS transfers who can help us. Best has found a lot of hidden gems from juco ranks the last few years. The jury is out on the transfer portal but I would have expected more resulta based on the number of recruits. UC Davis and Idaho are primarily recruiting high school talent. NAU brought in a lot of transfers last year, it will be interesting to see that continues in year 2 with the new coach. We don't seem to compete with the Montanas very often for recruits anymore.

I'm still struck by the irresponsibility of anyone starting this thread. The keyboard clown had no idea of what he was talking. What purpose does it serve?

Wow, someone saying a head coach who is objectively doing a poor job should be replaced. So, "irresponsible". Yea dude we get is you're Best's friend or whatever, tell him to start having winning seasons and this won't happen.

Speaking of starting this thread. I made it after the SLU game knowing it would be a losing season, Guess what? Its been a losing season. Honestly, you're the one that has the fucking nerve to defend him after his 3rd losing season. Something that hasn't happened in 30 years.

Also, its a fucking fan forum what purpose does any of this serve?

For clarity on the portal issue I didn't mean we need more, I meant better portal players. For example we have 25 transfer/portal players. That is more than MSU18), Idaho(23) and UC Davis(18). The difference is most of our players are JC Transfers and small college players. UC Davis has 18 transfers/portal players from big name University's. and same for MSU and even Idaho. Players from those schools are starters and impact players. Yes we have some as well but not nearly as many. When I say work the portal/transfer players talking about bringing in players that can play...key players. We have lagged behind since this part of the game came into play...we weren't filling the spots of players that left with players of equal statue much less add more to improve our team...compared to the other schools. I believe it may also be true we aren't bringing in high school recruits like other schools but with that said maybe we do and they transfer out after we acclimate them after 2-3 years.

Agreed, quality, not quantity. Although I will say that we've gotten a few gems in the past couple of years like Wortham and Taylor.
 
Well Jeff Schmedding is out at WSU. For those that don't know, WSU lost the last 3 games to teams with losing records. I guess for head coach it doesn't matter since Best will get at least 1 more season and since EWU is too poor for a buyout probably 3 more seasons. He'll probably want another FBS job, question is can he get one?
