Amen to that. My heart still hurts from him leaving! Crud!

It looked like he was hit as he was releasing that ball. But two deep on that side and a long ball is not good odds. Henry's a great guy though; I hope he gets a lot more playing time.

Yes the fan favorite backup Q.B. that is loved despite never doing much in a game while here. I goes T.T. starter got hurt so H.C. came in and did ok until a real bad pick.

I have nothing against the kid, hope he does ok, maybe he will get a starting job if the starter is injured

You mean the guy that wasn’t even allowed to play quarterback at the U anymore (who, notably, hasn’t had a good QB in at least a decade) isn’t better than Henry? Or are you saying something else here?

Look — I hope Shelley is good. I’m rooting for him. But I think ultimately we will rue the day GA made this decision. Hope to be wrong, and maybe I’m still just sore about how Henry been done wrong.

Colombi’s dad kinda gave me Lavar Ball vibes.

But Colombi noticeably bulked up. Scholz is a unique talent.

I’m with you. I think Gary is going to look back and realize he made a big mistake giving Shelly the job over Columbi.

I haven't rued a day in a long time.... I like a good day rueing.

I am not sure if you could have fit more incorrect statements into one post, and I hope I don't have to find out.

If you were the Colombis, your beliefs about the situation would matter.

Too bad Andersen couldn't convince them.

The only factual statement made in this post even capable of being an “incorrect statement” is the reference to Shelley being moved to safety, which is objectively true and verified by multiple sources.

The rest is a mix of opinion and prediction. Not really sure why you felt the need to come in so hot here, but whatever. Again, genuinely hope I am wrong on the prediction front. I want to see a good Aggie football team, and that’ll take Jason Shelley being good! I just foresee rough seas ahead with GA at the helm.

To me, it doesn’t matter if Shelley was promised anything. You just don’t bring in a grad transfer QB as late as GA did without it being rightfully perceived by the Colombis as a vote of no confidence in Colombi. Sorry, that’s just “people skills” and “reading the situation” 101. The same sort of skills that would help a coach avoid providing way too much information to an Oregonian reporter, or avoid putting his foot in his mouth to say something like “we don’t have an opt-out. That’s not an option in our program.”

I don’t really have anything nice to say about GA at this point, so I’m just going to leave it at that.

So if you get a chance to improve your depth at any position you don't take it because you might hurt someone's feelings? Do you feel the same way about the running back that we got from the U? What about last year when we picked up Mariner and Repp.

oleblu111 · Post by **oleblu111** » October 4th, 2020, 2:57 pm

Of course you bring in any player that can improve the position as depth or as a starter. H.C. and daddy thought he was going to start when the transfer happened so he bolted rather than compete for the starting job.

Every grad transfer that comes in has a good shot at being a starter, and those that thought it was their turn either stay and compete or take their bags and leave, Other than henry did any other kids leave because a grad transfer was brought in ?

QB is a different beast, and if you don't know that, you should.

No it is not any different at all. If I was a junior O.T. in the program looking to start, and a grad transfer comes in I might leave if I figured he was better than me.

With the injuries that occur at Q.B. then Henry would have been in the game just like he was at Texas Tech. He went from being a possible backup at USU to a backup at Texas Tech.

Ok, then you should know better, but I'll help you out. Multiple TE's play all game, (Caleb Repp), multiple WR's play all day (Siosi Mariner), multiple DE's play all game long (Nick Heniger). Only one QB plays all game. So when Shelley was handed the job, Columbi wasn't going to play unless of injury. QB is not like other positions where many guys rotate in and out all game long.

Here's what you fail to comprehend:
Columbi didn't leave because of Shelley. It's not about Shelley and Columbi. It's about Andersen and Columbi.

Well that is possible, but some on here believe that any transfer is promised a starting job which is just not true, also if some kid playing a different position thinks they are in line to be a starter than they would not transfer, because Q.B. is different.

I can buy the not getting along with the coach as a reason to leave, but of course the reason may or may not be a good choice. I do not get all excited about the backup Q.B. as many do, unproven is unproven.

He would come here just to play QB in practice even if it meant riding the bench in games?

Doubt it.

The quarterback is a different animal than other positions. Quarterbacks transfer all the times when they aren't going to be the starter. Andersen made a decision that he believes Shelley will help us win games more than Colombi would. Let's hope he is right.

Yeah. There’s another article on wreckem that blames the AD for hiring him and not Wells. Calls Wells a run of the mill average college coach who’s in above his head. 3 out of his last 4 years at USU were losing ones.....

Elkaggie · Post by **Elkaggie** » October 4th, 2020, 9:42 pm

I hope and still think he can turn it around. They could have won UT and KSU just as easily as lost and then everyone would be singing a completely different tune. This year is basically a mulligan anyways. TT actually (in my untrained eyes) look to be pretty talented and have some good players in place. Now if at this time next year things aren’t looking up, then he’s likely done.

One thing Wells seemed to always do was pull a few rabbits out of his hat (BYU thrice, Boise) so I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins a couple unexpectedly. In fact, that’s what I was thinking during second half of UT game but then that felll a part quickly.

Post by **Aglicious** » October 4th, 2020, 9:52 pm

Wells and his staff are constantly ripped apart on all Red Raider fan forums. Patterson is the guy hated the most on those forums. On one hand, it is crazy to read many of the same complaints we had about Wells but on the other, TTU fans also seem a bit delusional about their program. I think having guys like Leach and Mahomes come through Lubbock have warped their sense of place in the Big12.

It is a tough place to win. Tubberville had an undefeated season at Auburn yet couldn't win at Tech. Kingsbury was hired by the Arizona Cardinals, but never had a big 12 winning season at tech. Patrick Mahomes was 13-16 as a starter at Tech. Certainly not his fault with how bad their defense was, but it does show how difficult it is to win at Tech that they couldn't even win games with Mahomes.

Here's a quote from that article which is spot on: Honestly, the Wells we are seeing in Lubbock is the guy he was at Utah State. He’s proving to be a mediocre coach who is no more qualified to run a Big 12 program than his predecessor was.

Thus, we shouldn’t be angry at Wells. That’s like being angry at water for being wet. He is what he is (a run of the mill college coach) and he can’t be blamed for that.

Ouch...

Why doesn't everyone wait to see how Shelley performs in a few games? At this point, the argument seems a bit useless.
