Times change. This choice โ this harder choice โ does not.
Those who make it do so not because it was easy. Not because they wanted praise. But because thatโs who they are.

The best story in college football:
26-year-old Hawaii kicker Kansei Matsuzawa taught himself how to kick from YouTube videos while working at a Morton's Steakhouse in Tokyo.
"The Tokyo Toe" just finished the regular season 37/37 on XPs & 25/26 on FGs and is a finalist for the Lou Groza Award. ๐ฏ๐ต
Heโs got to go. Brennan Carroll hasnโt developed this group at all. Theyโve gotten worse every single week. Zero progression, zero improvement. The fundamentals just arenโt there bad footwork, high pad level, slow hands, blown assignments everywhere. When an O-line looks this lost in Week 11, thatโs 100% on coaching.
And hereโs the part that drives me crazy: weโve got TWO third-round rookies who havenโt even sniffed the field because he canโt get them ready to play. Thatโs the job. Develop young linemen. Coach them up. Give them a chance to grow. Instead, this room has flat-out regressed. Nobody knows who to block and the technique is awful.
At some point you have to hold the position coach accountable.
