Matt Mitchell joining Wisconsin staff

I know several posters that have connections. They never post about having them. You do post such things. It has been my experience that posters claiming special "connections" or "insider knowledge" do not possess those things.

That is why you are a fan boy.

You need to use CAPITAL LETTERS if you want any effect with this...just a thought.

I watched GV play 2 games on flosports this year, so I'm pretty much the divine source. Feel free to ask me anything.

Apparently on the GLIAC board, if you post in CAPITALS it adds credence to your post...

BillyGV is a fan boy.

He is right though. TA would never be a consideration lol.

I heard rumors that Pitt was told to run far away from him. No idea if they are true, though.

And so the the exodus begins. Reid gone. I ain't gonna lie. I'm disappointed with GV's leadership with trying to move expeditiously and trying to keep the talent together. And FWIW, I'm not so sure it's best for those leaving as well. But my opinion means little. I wish them the best, but I don't think they're taking the best path at this time.

When I heard the coaching change news, I said to myself that Cade, Tariq, and Nyzier are the three you absolutely need to keep in the fold. So this is really disappointing. That's a big loss. There's three guys behind him that all showed decently well in their limited time with Crawford, Usma-Harper and Moreno, but I don't know if any of them can be a guy who carries the ball 35 times and grinds down Saginaw Valley lol.

Like I said earlier, players should be A voice but not the ONLY voice. They honestly shouldn’t be strong-arming the AD into hiring someone they want by threatening to leave the program. If Wooster is the guy after considering all options, then great. If he’s not, I’m sure she brings in someone she feels will serve the program well now and in the future.

Also, I honestly don’t get what purpose leaving serves when you get a new coach either way. It’s not as if they’ll be following Mitchell to Wisconsin.

Well, that's the issue. Kids are leaving since they apparently aren't seeing Wooster coming back. Right or wrong. And who at GV is trying to keep the team together? One would suspect the assistants are looking for new opportunities so why would a team member even listen to them? I'm not hearing anyone trying to successfully tap down the rush to enter the portal.

I get the need to get a good coach. No question. But again, is there some superstar out there that GV is focused on? Maybe there is, but then use some channels to communicate that to the team. Point is, unfortunately, time is short. In fact, it looks like it's gone with those entering the portal.

So those that want to go with an external hire will likely get their wish. I still think it throws away next season.... one that could have had a great ending. It's happened elsewhere. Why not at GV? (VSU, UWF, even School of Mines in a sense.) Now the horses are out of the barn. Here's hoping that some new colts grow up fast.

To be clear…I’m good either way. If Wooster is the guy when stacked up against the competition, then I support the hire. I just think it would be a bad move by Becker to hire based on players threatening to leave. I agree though that they need to have an open dialogue. There’s nothing worse than keeping people in the dark. Not only that…The team should be a part of the selection committee with an elected representative.

Whether the right person is Wooster or external, I just want the best guy for the job. As such, I'm 100% on the fence between the two options.

Could be looking at a barely .500 season in 2023 if things keep trending in the direction it seems like they are. But if the aim is to try and be competitive long term as opposed to competing next season, then maybe it doesn't matter. I think if they want to compete for a title in 2023, they have to go internal. Otherwise...

[KleShreen]

Also, if I'm not mistaken, and maybe someone else with more knowledge can chime in - I believe all the assistant coaches and staff operate on yearly contracts. So, technically, I don't know if there's a single coach or football staff member under contract for 2023.

Send Cade up North and he can be the backup QB and holder. Give him a chance to get past the regional round in his last year.

How many kids have jumped in the portal?
