"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air" -
On Saturday Sherone Moore was appointed as THE Offensive Coordinator. No more sharing the title with anyone. He will also continue as OL coach. I'd like to think this lets Michigan keep him a bit longer before someone realizes what the guy does, and steals him away.
As expected, Chris Partridge will now become the LB coach, after Helow departed. At least this isn't a step backward. Partridge has put a few guys in The League, and will likely do so again. And Partridge is an excellent recruiter out east.
Unless something unexpected pops up, the coaching staff should be set for 2023."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Rule changes to shorten the college game could be on the way for 2023. The most impactful proposals are no longer stopping the clock after first down plays and not stopping the clock after incomplete passes. The latter probably has little to no chance of passing but the fact it's even on the table is alarming.
College executives have been told the average offense would lose about seven plays per game if the clock was allowed to run after first downs. That's less impactful than letting the clock run after incomplete passes, which projects to remove 18-20 plays from each contest, fundamentally changing the game's structure. Especially in a sport where a record 46% of snaps were passing plays in 2022.
Yay.Comment

The first down timing I have no issue with. The not stopping after incompletions is a bad idea and has zero chance of passing. I'm not even sure the first down change will pass but zero chance of the latter.Shut the fuck up Donny!Comment

One thing we know won't work is airing less commercials. So it's gotta be less football in the mix.Comment

One area where a shitton of time could be saved is the review process. Too many unnecessary delays caused by that process.Shut the fuck up Donny!Comment

If you only allowed 3 OL then QBs couldn't just sit in the pocket all damn day wasting everyone's timeComment

I found the NCAA's logic humorous. They say they need to decrease plays in order to create the appearance that they are limiting players' exposure to serious injury so the blood-thirsty lawyers won't sue them into oblivion. The implied position is: Football is bad for you. To save you from yourself we will limit how much football you are "exposed" to. The fewer snaps played, the better. So zero football snaps really seems like the optimal outcome.

I've always wondered why the clock couldn't start again after an incomplete pass, as long as the ball has been spotted. Stopping the clock is from the olden days when teams played with one ball, and the ball had to be chased down after each play. Nowadays, each team has like 8 balls they've checked in, and 2-3 ball boys to go shag the balls down. I'd have no problem with the clock restarting after an incomplete pass, as long as the ball has been spotted and ready for play.
Wiz mentioned another problem, and that is with replay. We saw it many times this past season. There needs to be a time limit on replays. If the mistake isn't obvious enough to be corrected after one minute, then the play should stand as called on the field. Nit-picking a call for several minutes is not what replay was intended for. Fix obvious errors, and move on.
But the real problem why games are taking so long, is TELEVISION. The ridiculous number of TV time outs after change of posessions, etc., is absolutely ridiculous. The TIME taken during these time outs is ridiculous too. Some of them take upwards of 4-5 minutes. That's the real problem, but as Wiz said, that's never going to change because that's where the money is.
As far as the clock running after first downs, I don't see that as a biggie. They do that now in the NFL and it doesn't seem to hurt their game. If need be, give teams one additional time out, that can be carried over to the 2nd half. They have six (6) now, one additional wouldn't be that big of a deal, as long as the networks didn't stretch it to 5 minutes."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, ..

The need to go to an NFL challenge system. Too many waste-of-time reviews.Comment

Lining up all of the "Full Media Time-Out" redcoats and making them all walk the plank in shark-infested waters would be the best way to speed up games- and would be quite amusing to see.Comment
