2 hours ago2 hr Moderator No. DL really didn’t have any choice. I understand the loyalty and promoting from within but Mehringer seriously didn’t have any kind of resume to deserve being OC. Not for a top 5 fbs program anyway.
2 hours ago2 hr No. Yeah, that one will go down as a historically bad decision. Kudos to DL for having the cajones to pull the trigger now rather than later.
2 hours ago2 hr Moderator No. Does anybody know the rules for bringing in anybody short term in mid season? Seems like a Helfrich type guy could come in and at least steady the ship till the end of the season.

Hopefully, he has finally learned, that he is just not a head coach... with the one, "lightning in a bottle," exception at Oregon.But damn... he got us so close.

The way Penn State played in 2025 when Andy was there, I don't think K is Special. 😁Auditor: One who counts the bodies after the battle. This relegation is a predictable move that comes too late. DUH! Maryland fired its DC the week before the head coach was fired after losing to Rutgers the following week. Accountability starts at the top; I think Dan knows this. Bad coaching on many fronts in 2026. But can good coaching overcome bad talent evaluation? Many 4* recruits on the field cannot block. What is of paramount importance now is inviting the players who aren't cutting it to transfer out and keeping quality recruits committed; the vultures are circling. This team has to be rebuilt via the portal. A one-year regression is understandable. But Clemsoning is not. In CFB, if you are not competing for championships, you are ignored.OT, but it truly ticks me off. Saturday's game being broadcast on Peacock means a less-than-robust viewing audience. This will be NW's 3rd appearance on the Bird this season. Absurd for a Top 25 NW football team that has lost one game by two points at Indiana and should be ranked in the teens and not the twenties.

Seems like a Helfrich type guy could come in and at least steady the ship till the end of the season.My guess is that they elevate someone from the current staff to be the interim OC and playcaller, and find an experienced ex-HC/OC as an analyst/consultant to help the rest of the season (scheming, game planning, play design).Hopefully, Coach Lanning learns from his mistake and does a formal national search for the OC position. It shouldn’t matter if the new OC runs a similar offensive scheme but he should have an impressive track record. Also, let him build his own staff and bring in his own transfer players.

2 minutes ago2 min No. After throwing in some search parameters into Google AI they seem to think that Byron Leftwich is available and could clean up the mess as a QB whisperer. He is currently volunteering as a QB coach at Colorado making it possible to actually hire him.I have no idea if he has any clue about calling plays but he was a solid quarterback in his day and should be able to help the young QB become better. Always fun to see what AI has to say about things. Edited 1 minute ago1 min by Dave23 Spelling
