Will say most assume with the spread and high powered O Kelly throws it all over the place but the guy loves to run the ball....likely a good thing for us.

I'll be interested to see who's the QB for '24.

Hired to be the next UCLA HC. Never been anything more than a RB coach.

He better be smart enough to surround himself with some solid crusty old veteran assistants that don't want to be a. HC.

Foster apparently impressed them with this CEO approach coaches need to have nowadays in CFB. But, damn he better produce or they will turn on him quickly.

It's a risk heading into a tough new conference.

Crazy this morning that some of the 9ers after the game admitted they didn't know the overtime rules. Talk about embarrassing...

Can anyone explain why OT doesn't end, then restart after 15 minutes if needed? I understand the change to guarantee (barring defensive scores) a possession, but 15 minutes should be enough to do that. It didn't affect last night's game (barely, winning score at 0.03), but seems ridiculous to me.

I hate that idea honestly.

2 good teams. 1 had to lose.

I really hate that people want to use that word to criticize the loser rather than celebrate the winning plays by the other team.
Well, that’s really soft and gay. This is a mindset for middle school athletics. The Niners are led by a coach who is widely seen as as an offensive genius. He shit the bed again last night. He’s 0-3 in Super Bowls as head coach or offensive coordinator and in all 3 he’s blown double digit leads. Pro sports is for Big Boys. By every measure, the Niners had the better team, they had a lead in the game, for much of the contest they won the battle on the line of scrimmage. They absolutely choked.
Both teams made costly mistakes. KC just made 1 more play.

This was not a choke. This was Pat Mahomes doing his thing.
This was absolutely a choke.

Read something on NIL. The Maryland coach was approached by his 3rd string RB who wanted to transfer. Was asked why and the kid said unless he was given 100k he wanted out.

I thought this NIL and Portal business was good at first because coaches can leave for other jobs whenever but damn....this is really wild.

It's just the transition stage, it will be weird and messy for a few years until the top teams (perhaps 64 of them) form a pro league (keeping the college colors and stadiums). The programs that aren't in that league will go back to having football as just another NCAA sport, some will drop their football programs (like Sonoma State, Larry Allen's alma mater, did)

I am absolutely disgusted with the 49ers still. To find out the coaches didn’t even explain the ot rules as well? Wtf

We needed Detroit in the superbowl. Against Pat Mahomes, you need a coach who know the best defense against them is to not settle for fgs

16-16 game with SF at the Chiefs 40 and a new set of downs

1st and 10- Cmac runs for 5 yards

2nd & 5- Incomplete pass

3rd and 5- Incomplete pass

Why would you not give the best back in football 2 or maybe 3 downs to pick up 5 yards on the ground?

Now let's go to the OT possession

2nd and 4- Cmac runs to the right fo no gain

3rd and 4- Incomplete pass

Once again, why don't you give the best back in football 1 or 2 atempts to get 4 freaking yards? Also, why aren't you running behind Trent?
