I'm not overly bothered by a few average years after a great year as long as we have another great year before too long.
That being said I hope we go undefeated and I get to eat a steaming pile of deep fried vulture.

I have been early on the firing BA train because the team has been bizarre since 2022. Bizarre is the word to describe the football team.

Re: Legas…gone
Petras has been way better than I anticipated.trevordude wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 3:28 pmMan, don't know what to think. I like Legas, he's been a B QB for us and good enough to seriously compete.
Hillstead showed some good things, glad he was there for depth and development.
Bringing in Petras, he seemed like a good guy to have on the room.
So is Petras really outclassing Legas and Hillstead? If so, I'm excited to win more games.
Or did the two guys move on because they felt Petras was being given undeserved favorable treatment?

My take on BA is that he went through too many tragic events to do the job. We should retire him from football and put at admin spot that helps young adults with mental health.

Re: Legas…gone
I would be more upset if there have not been reports that Petras has excelled in spring camp. Hillstead getting the nod over Cooper is one thing but from many reports on here that have attended practice including our loyal and truthful insider Aggies22 has also mentioned that Petras seemed to be performing better in spring camp. I love Cooper he is one of my favorite Aggies and I wish him well. Hopefully Petras can stay healthy and perform as well as the reports have made it sound going into the season.Donman wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 2:47 pmThis is an issue across all of college athletics. I get the impression Legas left because he realized he was going to be second string and didn't want to sit his senior year. If reports we are all hearing are true.Aggie702 wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 2:45 pmHow long does he get to skate by on the MWC title? I'm not saying fire him, but I'd love to know if these players are solely leaving for more money (not much you can do about that), or to get away from BA? If to get away from BA, then that's not great for program and a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Especially when we've regressed both years post MWC title.

Re: Legas…gone
In the game today, you better plan on having your 2nd and maybe 3rd string QB ready to play significant minutes. That is just the nature of the game today.
Perhaps in today's game, it is as much a curse as a blessing to be named QB1.
Kids are never gonna see it this way though. In their minds they just all see themselves passing for 3000 yards with zero interceptions

Legas…gone
Too many people on here speaking out of both sides of their mouth. Upset that we are mediocre, so coach goes out and tries to upgrade at the positions he feels will impact performance the most, then folks complain that he is mismanaging the QB room when one of them gets beat out and wants to transfer. I would have loved for Legas and Hillstead to have stayed and been loyal soldiers and been patient enough to wait for their opportunity, but they didn’t, and this issue is happening everywhere.
Hopefully Petras stays healthy and can take our offense to the next level.

Yes that is true too, and he did bring in a handful of OL transfers too. Hopefully he can get another one or two before the season. I felt like the staff tried to upgrade or build depth across the board at every position.GameFAQSAggie wrote:AGGIEinIOWA wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 6:31 pmToo many people on here speaking out of both sides of their mouth.

Re: Legas…gone
What coach does this? You have a senior starting quarterback with great stats and has also been loyal to your program and you bring in a quarterback to replace him. I wonder how the this will affect the chemistry of the team now that one of their favorite teammates is leaving? Thanks BA!

Re: Legas…gone
BA had to protect himself in case Coop or Hillstead’s injuries from last year lingered, or if either one were to chase NIL money and enter the portal. So he was smart and did his homework and found a guy with experience, had the tools for his offense, and who was ok not be guaranteed the starting spot. Nice insurance policy for BA and the team. Well ends up Petras is showing out better than expected and challenging the incumbent and the incumbent was seeing his starting spot slip away…..and left. I’m not going to be mad at BA for that. I would have been made had BA not gotten a qb insurance policy and then Legas can’t play because of a bad shoulder, enters the portal, etc.

Re: Legas…gone
Alright, I’ve let the dust settle a bit.
Cooper is an adequate starter and it is sort of a bummer to see him go. A bigger loss than Hillstead for sure. I appreciate him getting us to bowl games the last two seasons.
But we weren’t a very good football team the past two seasons, and it’s therefore hard for me to get too worked up about losing ANY players that aren’t Jalen Royals or Ike Larsen.
The portal is a two way street, and there’s a good chance we replace guys like Legas and Fitzgerald with comparable dudes and/or dudes that better fit the team’s timeline.

Re: Legas…gone

A depth chart should have no preconceived notions or bias or anything other than the performance thus far in spring, then into fall. This season. That’s it. To quote Mike Leach “last year was just that, it’s last (I can't express myself without swearing) year”
To be clear, you’re saying If he wasn’t the best quarterback all spring and fall, he should’ve been given the role regardless. You bring up “the last time we brought in a qb to replace a starter” but what about the last time this staff had a presumed starter.

Re: Legas…gone
Exactly, if Legas and Hillstead get injured like Cooper has every year and Hillstead was last year. Blake brings in a guy who has a lot of experience for more competition and by all reports has been challenging if not beating out Cooper this spring and people are pissed because Petra's has played well. I love Cooper and wanted him to stay but I'm not going to get mad at Blake for bringing in competition.AGGIEinIOWA wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 7:50 pmBA had to protect himself in case Coop or Hillstead’s injuries from last year lingered, or if either one were to chase NIL money and enter the portal. So he was smart and did his homework and found a guy with experience, had the tools for his offense, and who was ok not be guaranteed the starting spot. Nice insurance policy for BA and the team. Well ends up Petras is showing out better than expected and challenging the incumbent and the incumbent was seeing his starting spot slip away…..and left. I’m not going to be mad at BA for that. I would have been made had BA not gotten a qb insurance policy and then Legas can’t play because of a bad shoulder, enters the portal, etc.

Re: Legas…gone
Then go out in spring ball and beat out Petras. There have been multiple reports from lots of posters that said Spencer has been playing really really well and if not better than Cooper this spring. How is that a problem with Blake.blueaggie wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 9:20 pmAnd look what we have now. Two QBs that have never played a down at USU. How’s that for depth? I wonder how many players stayed at Utah State because Cooper announced he was coming back. Yes bring in a quarterback, but Cooper Legas is the number one QB until he doesn’t produce during the season. What happened the last time we brought in a QB to replace a starter.TrueAG wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 8:08 pmEvery coach. If you can add depth and upgrade talent. You do it. Coop came into spring #1, his job to lose. Coop isn't Jordan Love.blueaggie wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 7:27 pmWhat coach does this? You have a senior starting quarterback with great stats and has also been loyal to your program and you bring in a quarterback to replace him. I wonder how the this will affect the chemistry of the team now that one of their favorite teammates is leaving? Thanks BA!
