I wondered the same about Parker Navarro. A year later we had our foot on Miami's neck in Detroit.

We all had the same doubts about Parker.

The difference is he was the incumbent to play in the bowl game after Rourke and Harris were unavailable, and he did well enough (mostly running) that you had some faith going into the next season.

I agree on Poulos being the number 1. I absolutely hate that he missed a wide open tight end that could have walked into the end zone at the end of the Ohio State game. Hate that we could have been more than halfway to 20 on the #1 team.

I’m no football coach, but I would suspect even if Vezza or Davis are doing a bit better in practice, saying publicly and acting like the guy who has been in the program for years is in the lead would be great motivation to get Vezza and/or Davis to grind away at learning the system/playbook.

Or it could be 100% true Poulos is just looking better. Wouldn’t expect to know for sure until after the Nebraska game. Maybe Davis is actually in the lead but they don’t want his first start to be on the road against a Big 10 team.


Your last point is likely the biggest. Poulos has played two big time road games. Not well, but he's got that experience. He knows how to prepare. He knows what to expect. He's been in the program for years. Presumably, the playbook is the same, certainly the same jargon - he likely knows it inside and out. He's enormous and will be able to diagnose what the defense is doing a little faster and a little easier, which in games like this even 1 second faster is the difference between a completed pass and a sack.

I 100% believe we will see Veeza at some point, probably even at Nebraska in some packages, probably starting early into MAC play, maybe even Davis, but right now - Poulos is the guy until he proves otherwise.

Or we go with a heads QB who makes it happen with their legs and is adaquate throwing the ball, like we did the past few years. Hype Grand may be that Cat.

The videos I saw of him (in shorts, no rush)(didn't see the spring game, if anyone wants to weigh in), I liked. Hauser not mentioning him by name makes me think he's in a distant 4th, however.

Hauser said Poulos is QB1. Veeza and Levi "are on his heels". Would love if that lit a fire under Hype (and/or Veeza and Levi).

Did Raymond play DE in the spring game? He's still listed as a LB. Was a LB at Wisconsin. He's the biggest LB, but would be a pretty small DE at 231. Though Molnar / Fries / Christopher is a damn strong LB crew, so Raymond needs to elevate over them or get some reps at DE. Can't have too much LB depth.

My boy Jacob Winters is no longer on the team. He graduated in Spring, did not enter the portal and is likely hanging it up. Papas is QB5.

I don't understand all the love for Poulos. Dude seems ok but we have a guy who threw for 2,600 yards and 19 TD and rushed for 600 and 8 more. He led his team to an 8-5 record and a spot in the FCS Playoffs. It's this Frank Solich, "We Owe the Guy Who Has Been in Our System Despite Him Showing Nothing in Real Game Time" mentality that had us going 7-5 and 8-4 every year with no MAC titles under Frank. This coaching staff will throw away our non-league starting Poulos and Brune and sit Vezza and Rosa until they get their heads out of their behinds. It's like those of you not putting Charlie Christopher as a starter. All dude did was play as a true freshman and dominate.

Except for the years Frank went 9-4, 10-4 and 9-5. And, so far what we have is fans' projections. I suspect Vezza will give it a real run for the money.

We have seen quarterbacks make big jumps in a single offseason after showing they didn't have it in the opportunities they previously had. Tettleton, Windham, K. Rourke, Navarro. If Poulos is in the lead against a guy who had a very good FCS season and two promising young recruits in Grand and Davis, I'm good.

Are you watching practice every day? Are you watching everyone run plays and throw? Are you monitoring the timing with receivers?

What makes you think the coaching staff has their heads in their ass just because they see Poulos as QB1? Because he stumbled on the road at Ohio State after being thrown in after an injury? Kentucky and Ohio State were a long, long time ago.

Poulus is a veteran in the building. He likely has a full command of the offense. He's taking #1 reps for the first time. He's obviously convinced the staff he's ready to lead. Scott has been around forever and a day, he's seen every QB we've had come through the building for the last decade. If he signs off - it's because NP gives us the best chance to move the offense and eliminate mistakes. He's in year three of the offense. He's worked with the 2nd team for years. Which is now all of our starting WR. He's probably developed timing with them that others haven't. He's 8 feet tall, which will help him see the defense faster than someone - like Navarro previously, who had to step back and up into a lane to see the play develop. If he can read the defense even half a second faster, that's the difference between a sack and a completion. He's got a big arm. He's got the ability to tuck it. He'll be tough to bring down.

I'm not saying he's going to be All-MAC, but you're shitting on him before you've literally ever seen him prepare and progress as QB1. I do believe we'll see Vezza a fair amount eventually, but I sincerely doubt they're throwing an FCS transfer or a freshman out there vs Nebraska. Nor should they - unless they're the clear #1. Which our staff says they are not.

Please let me add to your "stumbled once at Ohio State comment." I was personally at two games where he got the start and/or got the majority of playing time and dude "stumbled" horrifically then as well. Both losses with 8 for 19 and a pick against Kentucky and 9 for 21 against Fiami. I hope he is our savior. I was just stating my opinion and sure, Frank had a few great years. But remind me of how many MAC titles he brought us?

Frank deserves so much more respect. He deserves a vast amount of respect for what he did here. Just because he didn't win a MAC title doesn't mean he didn't dig this program out of the depths of hell and put them in Sports Illustrated. Everything that came after him, is because of him. He built a program. That has sustained momentum without him. That is the sign of a leader.

And you're judging Poulus off a single road game three years ago. That's not even worth addressing. It's silly enough on its own.

"Frank deserves so much more respect. He deserves a vast amount of respect for what he did here. Just because he didn't win a MAC title doesn't mean he didn't dig this program out of the depths of hell and put them in Sports Illustrated. Everything that came after him, is because of him. He built a program. That has sustained momentum without him. That is the sign of a leader." Agree MDWST on the Coach Solich comments. Coach Solich is the person who had faith in Coach Albin to take over this program when he retired. Many on this board second guessed that decision. Frank was confident that Coach Albin was the man to replace him. Frank's faith in Coach Albin proved 100% correct and this program achieved a conference title for the first time since 1968. This program reached unprecedented success under Albin. Coach Albin in return hired quality assistants and this football program will carry on. Coach Smith was successful in 2025 and Coach Hauser will continue the run. The last ten seasons Ohio, Toledo and Miami have 53 league wins. The last five seasons Miami and Ohio have 29 MAC wins and Toledo is one behind. The Bobcats aren't going anywhere.
