Not a surprise. Was known yesterday (at least before I went to sleep this morning). Besides, the zero surprises was a shot at Jedd for saying there may be several. I'll give him one surprise - the Auzzie punter.
I don’t disagree with this. Az looked completely hapless this year without jedd and co. In town (and brought basically everyone back). There has to something to that. Brennan was a bad hire, he wasn’t that bad though
What Fisch did at zona was impressive. It was absolutely scorched earth when he took over and they improved each year. It used to be if a coach didn't pop by year 3 they sucked 90% of the time. I have no idea how to evaluate that now with the portal. Is 3 years too long? Then again he had replace 40 something spots on the roster.
Definitely reasons for concern.
Teams like Wisconsin and Nebraska still had a game where they were close against the top of the league, we didn't ever come close to belonging.
The offense couldn't score a lot of points and lacked identity.
Make-a-wish special teams play.
Positives
He is not Ty or Gilby or Jon Donovan.
Defense was better this year with worse personnel.
Our kicker cost us two games. Also a negative that we needed a decent kicking performance to beat Rutgers or wazzu.
Portal could make or break next season. We could get some good players and still suck and then we know it's over. Or we can get no good players and just be used to drive up their value with the blue bloods.
As of today we are eligible for the off season natty.
if he is smart he will go to a school that pays the most and actually kicks field goals. NFL kicking jobs are hard to come by. Have to do something impressive to unseat someone. Whether your team wins a lot is completely irrelevant.
The best kicker in the portal went to bama and he had a whopping 8 FGA's and only one attempt above 50 yards.

So zero surprises. Great. Considering 6-6 (and the WSU and Rutgers fuck ups) I'll take it, I guess.
I see one surprise? The Mater Dei WR which is cool, but I know the hope was to flip Marsh and/or Olugbode.

I'm surprised you're not surprised

wishful thinking.
since Fisch said that they flipped the OL from Texas, wr from Oklahoma and brought on the Aussie punter.
I think that's it. Bring on the portal.
Bama Washington and Arizona all had down years after the musical chairs.
It only gets worse if you lose your coach after the championship game since it's January 20 now
Jethro gets a one off because it was HARD.
But that's it. 8-4 was easily attainable. That's a red flag that it's 6-6
Fuck Arizona. Jed had a losing record there. One year wonder so far

I think those are/were the surprises and I didn’t read the surprises comment as being only on signing day.
Fuck off @VanillaSupport

Quite honestly I don't disagree
"Our kicker cost us two games. Also a negative that we needed a decent kicking performance to beat Rutgers or wazzu."
Please let us land Eastern Michigan Jesus….
Those games should not have come down to kicking. It was Fisch sucking as a play caller in the red zone
Should notta but they did, and if Gross didn't suck we wouldn't be talking about those close wins like this. Probably should be but we wouldn't.
Close calls, shoulda woulda coulda type shit really only means something when you lose., and UW wouldn't have lost with a good kicker.
Agreed. Fuck off Vanilla. Plus I wanted the two that I knew about to not count against the several. I guess it's a case of the more you know. . . . .
Hate to break it to you, but that kid is going to a top 10 team that needs a kicker next year. That ain’t us
I hope we don't try.

Not saying he is coming here. Don't twist.
