I'm struggling to see how the portal, which seems to be what we're all hanging our hat on as a solution, will work.

Let's start with the defense. It's awful. Raise your hand if you thought we were gonna stop Illinois on 3rd and 12 after we fumbled. Yeah, me neither. We all knew they'd convert. Why? Because our defense is awful.

And how is the portal gonna fix that? Let's say that somehow beyond all odds we were able to get a top 10 draft pick CB, a top 10 draft pick DT, and another 1st round DT in the portal. It wouldn't be enough to fix this shit show of a defense since we already have those guys and it doesn't matter. How many first rounders do we have to find in the portal to overcome the horrendous coordinating of Martindale and the incompetent coaching of Brian Jean-Mary and Lamar Morgan?

Now to offense. Let's say we somehow entice a likely first round QB to UM. And also manage to recruit a true WR1 and WR2. And also manage to find a replacement for Mullings. Why would it matter when it all depends on a line coached by Newsome? A line which will need to find 4 new starters just to reach competence (5 if Hinton leaves)? Who cares who's at QB when he won't last a quarter before getting a concussion from another failed pass block? Why would it matter who the WRs are when they're going to be coached by Bellamy?

Take a hard look at Florida State. Coaching matters. Unless we can find a new OC, DC, O-line coach, WR coach, QB coach, LB coach, and DB coach then it isn't going to matter. And if you unquestionably need to fire that many guys, why even keep the HC? And I say this as a guy who was in favor of Sherrone's hiring.

The portal won't fix what's wrong. We need a new coaching staff.

On Orji's TD, he completely DESTROYED the defensive end and collapsed the entire front, planting his guy right in the middle of the line of scrimmage and preventing the line from getting any width. For a guy who doesn't get a lot of touches, he's done an awful lot for this team over the years. Going be a tough guy to replace when he's done.

“He's putting pressure on the quarterback pretty regularly, which is fun to see."

Palatine (IL) head coach Corey Olson describes the game of UM 2025 DE commit Jaylen Williams, who has blossomed in the past several months & looks ready for the next level.
