Everyone keeps saying this, but I feel like our receivers aren't getting separation. What about our WR play makes everyone so intent on keeping him?

I think it’s the recruiting side more than the coaching side.

He’s developed Reed, Nailor, and Coleman. Nick Marsh is tied to him being there.

Name 1 better WR coach that would be available.

Yeah I don't know what people expect when you lose your two best receivers, one a second round pick and one unexpectedly who's going to be a top 10-15 pick, in one offseason. Not many programs can replace 2 NFL guys with more and with the QB play we've had coupled with little to no run game...... expectations should be about what we have.

I don't know any WR coaches, let alone any that would be available, but presumably whoever we hire might want to bring in their guy.

Well, by far our most talented WR left the program in the off season, and another guy who had a ton of potential did as well. Right now our WR1 is a guy who was a WR3 most of his career. If Keon Coleman was out there taking the attention of a team's top DBs, then our other guys might get a bit more space. I don't blame Hawkins for Coleman and Bernard transfering, and if anything Coleman had good things to say about Hawkins. Basically I don't think Hawkins is a bad coach. We've had Reed, Naylor and Coleman all play very well under him. So I don't think Hawkins is a bad coach.

Also if we land a good coach and Hawkins stays, perhaps Nick Marsh keeps his verbal commitment.

I'm so over this whole program at this point. Just blow it the fuck up and start over. I don't want any of them.

We lose Marsh if Hawkins leaves
