I still can’t believe Kliff Kingsbury is an NFL head coach

One of the best cases of falling upwards you’ll see. He couldn’t cut it in the Big 12, yet he’s going to cut it in the NFL? OC would’ve made way more sense but hiring him as a HC is mind boggling.

Bring him in. Let cam Jordan show him the ropes. I don’t believe for a second Kingsbury knows what he’s doing.

Payton was the first person to give Akeem Hicks a shot. This guy was a first round talent two years ago. Get him cheap and see if he can turn it around with our locker room and leadership.

The definition of overhyped

Plenty of people were jizzing all over themselves on here, and other places, about him. Tried to tell people that he was over hyped with character issues lol

Nah. He was a big time high school recruit who did little in college. He’s a decent athlete, but not a very good football player. He got drafted on potential and his high school hype.

Not to mention he failed a drug test, got suspended for his final bowl game and jumped from a fourth floor hotel room before the draft. Over hyped crazy!

He doesn't want to play football. He had the physical makeup to be a monster but he never had it mentally. He has zero drive.

So what is it in his three year career that impresses you? His 6 starts, his 44 tackles, his 4.5 sacks, his 10 tackles for loss or 10 QB hits.

This board drives me crazy sometimes. We want to sign the above guy, but complain about Davenport who had 44 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 6 tackles for loss and 12 QB hits in a rookie year splitting time with a six year vet.

Completely agree. As an Ole Miss fan, trust me on this, we do not want Rob Nkemdiche on this team. He is one hell of a prospect, and if he ever got his sh*t together, could be a really good lineman. However, he doesn't love football, and has a personality that could potentially hurt other young players in the lockerroom. He gives 25% effort all the time, and doesn't work on staying in shape.

NO THANKS

Maybe if Treadwell came with him they could recreate the magic of not getting to Atlanta?

Hey, we got to Atlanta...for the Peach Bowl...

And Treadwell is actually a player that I wouldnt mind us taking a shot on. I really think a lot of his problems have been because he's on the wrong team.
