Report: Maealiuaki Smith to Enter Transfer Portal

They’ll just come back and try to convince you the defense is really good this upcoming season :roll_eyes:.

Maybe since he doesn’t have a fake OC and fake QB’s coach this spring he actually did get better? Remember, a lot of the players already voiced that the previous coaching staff had no clue what they were doing.

Hey champ,

Who said that? Partially genuinely curious, partially seeing if you’re full of crap.

He was obviously on the bottom of the early depth chart. Probably was advised to transfer. Don’t need to pay and roster 4 QBs. This is good news.

“ “Coach Johns, he’s very big time with the mental side of the game — the IQ, the game slowing down,” Smith said. “I feel like I’m understanding the game a lot more with Coach Johns.”

Translation: Our QB coach was a payroll bandit his entire time here.

Hey champ,

I knew it was going to be B.S. Not only is praising the new staff not deriding the last staff, it’s so diplomatic that it’s not even necessarily praising the current staff. It’s just what you’re expected to say. No one is ever going to say, “this new coach sucks”.

Deriding the last staff? Maybe this’ll help you:

“But Oates also heaped praise on Osborn’s teaching ability.

“He’s all over the place, man,” Oates said. “He’s relatable, but he also can teach like no coach I’ve had before. The knowledge of the game, the way he gives the information, it makes it hard to not be able to learn it.””

““I feel like this new coaching staff is amazing,” Kabongo said. “I feel like we’re on the right track. Everybody’s together. Everybody’s saying one thing. It’s not out of order. No disrespect to the old coaching staff, but everybody’s on the same page. Everybody has the same mentality to attack. That’s what I like about this new coaching staff.””

Sounds to me like Kabongo agrees the previous staff sucked. Do you agree?

Hey champ,

“No disrespect to the old coaching staff”

Here’s what I think:

  • The previous coordinators were not great and needed to go.
  • I’m not sure we needed a full purge. Wozniak, for instance. Jo Bob for another.
  • The team had bought in to the previous staff; they were good soldiers.
  • They’re out of their way to not trash the previous coaches, some of which were good. Obviously, the staff didn’t work, collectively because Dunn and Nardo weren’t good.
  • You’re ridiculous.

So, are you done trashing the new coordinators? You went on your tirade about how they sucked because they’d been previously let go or hadn’t kept jobs during HC transitions (which almost never happens). If you’re “reading between the lines” to take what players aren’t saying about the old staff, are you taking the glowing praise about the new staff seriously?

He’s the one QB I didn’t want to transfer… there’s a reason 20+ p4 teams wanted him. I’d much rather wanted him to have or compete for the starting position. Guy was super poised after taking the snap, potential was far ahead for a freshman. Having Bowman comeback for a extra year and taking him at QB has set the position back a couple years in terms of development and keeping the QB room cramped. He would had did well in under Doug’s offense.

You probably didnt see Rangel in the BYU game, he’s also ahead of Flores. Rangel will be much more suited for Doug’s offense. Rangel also got more quick last season and even more quick this season shaving time off his 40yd dash. If the game planning is suited for his skill set while staying consistent with the planing he’s our guy. The Texas Tech game and BYU game said a lot. Our offense was bipolar, coaching staff not wanting to make adjustments, and had no identity. People were happy when sanders was gone and look at the QB we got. I’d take any QB that can throw 62% completion rate, put his body on the line, and even if some ints are thrown over Bowman.

Apparently Doug didn’t think so…

Don’t play those stupid games. You know if it wasn’t restrictive he would’ve given you his totally honest thoughts.

I never once said they sucked. I’ve always consistently said they haven’t called plays or anything in four years. There’s no guarantee they’re going to totally turn the offense or defense around. Also take into account both men are 60 years old. Which means there’s a possibility in reverting back to past experience that may not apply in today’s college football environment.

See my second comment. You’re making this too easy for me :+1:.

You know they love Bowman more than Sanders, right?

Hey champ,

Everything seems easy when you think you’re smarter than you are.

Looks like someone’s angry :roll_eyes:. Maybe learn not to accuse people of something they never said :man_shrugging:?

Hey champ,

Like when you said the players were tearing down the old coaching staff when they literally said they weren’t disrespecting the old coaching staff.

But no, you either strongly implied the new coaches were bad because they had been fired previously or outright said it. Quit gaslighting. You said successful teams weren’t hiring coordinators that had been fired which was easily proven wrong.

Anyone with some kind of common sense, reason, and logic knows that if not restricted, and given a truth serum they were disgusted with last season’s staff. You know it, I know it, and everyone else on this forum knows it.

My opinion on this current staff is up in the air until they PROVE OTHERWISE. I take into account their success and their failures. Not just what they did 5-10 years ago :man_shrugging:. I think that’s more than a fair enough take if you ask me. I knew exactly what you would get from Dunn and just about everyone else did. Which is exactly why no other school was beating down Gundy’s door to come steal him from Stillwater. Use some common sense for once :+1:. Again, you’re making this way too easy for me.

Hey champ,

Keep gaslighting and dodging. Basically your whole existence, just a delusion wrapped in a narcissistic trench coat.

It’s not me gaslighting or dodging. It’s you being too ignorant to think of all the variables. Don’t blame me because you post something before thinking about it.

That sounds like the old S/West Conference Run 'N Shoot offense, Run 3X times, 'N, oh Shoot, time to punt.

Why do you address yourself on every comment? “Hey champ,”
