I'd hate to lose him as the WR coach, but he's earned a promotion. No idea if he'd be any good at OC, though.

Toughness is one of the easier things to teach? Not sure I believe that. Hard to turn a soft player into a tough one.
Drills that you do that either get done or you don’t play.

Yeah, I just have the feeling that the soft guys fail the tests and don’t play. They don’t just up and get tough.
That is, you don’t TEACH toughness - you SELECT for it.
Completely disagree. I’ve coached kids in hs who weren’t very tough and by the time they graduated absolutely were…

That’s good to hear. I tend to believe that people are who they are, and don’t change. I’m glad to hear of cases when they DO change.

With transferring of Ewers was this Day's best shot to win a title? I think with the transfer portal, NIL and the expansion of College Playoffs it is only going to get tougher to win a Chip... That is what makes this L so bone-crushing... I made a bet with a Notre Dame fan in 2019 that Day would win it all by 2024... Ugh...

I don't think so. I don't really think Day was really challenged to expand this offense. I think he was in a comfortable position with Stroud and the strengths he had on offense, that he didn't really flush out the offense. I think that was a detriment to the offense at the end of the season since they really didn't have anything to turn when things weren't working or when we had injuries to our main playmakers.
I think having to lean on different aspects of the offense during the season and just having a lot of options can help to win a championship. Alot of it is everything coming together at the end of the season and everything is clicking. Stroud is a great QB prospect but even a tier below him could have everything click with the offense to win a championship. I think Day basically gets a QB prospect good enough to win in every recruiting class.

I don't think so. Mac Jones and Stetson Bennett are not otherworldly QB talents but they were good enough to win a title. McCord may be good enough too since we have incredible talent returning at our skill positions.
Also, I want to believe Knowles can develop this defense with another year and some high-end talent returning.
Losing Ewers and Raiola sucks for sure, but we still have a solid room.

Mccord and Brown were both the #6 ranked QB in each of their classes. Lincoln Kienholz was the #14 ranked QB in this most recent class. He is from South Dakota so he hasnt played against other top tier talent so there are question marks of how good he is.
