Wow, its unbelievable how poor some of you people are at reading comprehension. How many times do I have to say this? Texas has had too many 4 and 5 star busts. 4 and 5 stars arent guarantees but statistically they have a much better chance of doing well than 2 and 3 stars.
And thus, the SMF cycle of terrible opinions has come full circle.
Exactly! Using the SMF strategy we wouldn’t have Addison, Mumpfield, or Slovis. We’d have a first year OC running the GoGo Offense. Another L for SMF.
Well, Texas should have made Marion and OC and it was a lock…..or something, LOL.
I originally thought he could go to Texas with Marion for 500K, posted Jan 1. When it was rumored he was going to USC for $2 million - $3 million and he's friends or whatever with Caleb Williams, I thought USC for sure but Texas had a slight chance. However, I do believe that if Marion was promoted, there would be less angst about having a 3rd WR coach and 2nd OC in 3 years. Maybe he still goes to USC but I personally dont think he even considers it. I think he would have been content enough with Marion to even think to look elsewhere. I believe there is truth to the thing his "people" put out about trying out Slovis, Cignetti, and Underwood in the Spring and not being satisfied.
Dude, it was always about the money. It was about the money in January when he got his Bowser deal and it was about the money again in May. Marion is/was a pawn in this game.
He spurned Marion twice in 5 months. Used him to get his Bowser deal and to get more money out of USC. He has no allegiance to Marion and clowned him twice.
Disagree... He always gonna go California to train with JuJu. He'd meet the Coach Frogg dude. He'd meet Williams. Marion entire history as an OC is a very run based O so they'd get in his ear rather easily. And, ya know, $3.5M is a lot. A lot more than Marion or Pitt would've ever matched. Now, if somehow JA never ever trained in LA, than maybe but he did and likely always would've because he and JuJu became buddies. If Marion meant even close to what you think he does to JA, he'd have gone to Texas. Zero doubt they'd match or exceed what USC offered AND Marion is a coach there. But, ya know, didn't matter. And, I'm sure Marion is already throwing shade on whatever social media account he's using most these days.
All possible but I just think Addison would have been happy enough at Pitt to not even make the LA trip. I think that trip was made in part out of him beginning to think about other options due to his unhappiness with Cignetti, Underwood, and Slovis.
Hard to believe certain people can't seem to grasp this cold, hard, undeniable fact.
