Wonder if it will be a Mora-Hilliard production for week 1 and then go from there.

Have to assume Mora will be heavily involved with the playcalling and gameplan given his background as a DC/defensive coach.

I voted Ramfly is crazy but then I saw the article. Sorry Ramfly. It's a crazy thing to happen a week before the season starts though. Yikes.

Need a third option because both can be true.

Hope everything is ok. Sounds like he's just stepping away for a bit and this isn't permanent.

Apologies to Ramfly

Don't overlook the possibility Ramfly could be the reason Spanos is taking a LOA.

You should have added "Both" as a third choice.

So someone in the SI Office leaked the release to a friend. Not impressed. That is slimey.

 

[RSTuthill]

I am hoping this is not a family emergency and that everything is alright.

But of course if everything is alright, that would mean a clash of technical approaches or creative differences between HCJM and LS. And that seems unlikely.

I hope so.

My God this program just can't catch a break. Starting kicker out for season. One of the starting receivers breaks foot two years in a row. Now the defensive Coordinator is gone less than two weeks before game #1. I don't ever think I've seen a team this snake bit in my life.

You are obviously not a Jets fan.

This year's women's basketball.

Hopefully not, though I understand your point.

That was one year. How many years in a row has this football team had one thing after another go against them?

Oh, well then I’d go with Rutgers who had a hell of a run with no success.

Or maybe Boston College basketball. Although in that case yeah it’s not so much a run of bad luck as generic Suckiness.

 

[UCTitleTown]

He's gone.

 

[Jimdish255]

He's gone.

Huh??? That's too bad. Not really interested in speculation just wish him well if true.

Theme only sane reasons for his departure are (a) he or a family member has a serious medical condition requiring intensive treatment (I.e, cancer), or (b) there was a serious rules violation and self imposed sanctions. Either way, it’s not a good thing.
