I can’t remember the last time we had a QB this exciting going into his first season with the program. I’m ready for fall Saturdays at the Woodshed to see this kid deal. Go Green!
The B1G may be hoping that MSU vs Oregon becomes a new B1G rivalry game with the left coast additions. Makes sense as long as Coach Smith and this staff is around.
Definitely the blocking! I know you can be thin and wiry AND tough as nails, but I'd rather not test that. Give the kid the time and space to do his thing without getting beaten to a pulp.
He left because commitments aren't commitments any more. The only thing that matters now is bags of money. He got handed a bag of money, and got the added bonus of playing for the coach that recruited him. College has become even more cut throat and shady than the NFL. At least the NFL has contracts to ensure that the players they invest in will remain where they are for a time and the franchise can actually benefit from their investment.
Do you think JS leaves if it wasnt for the Beavers not having a conference home and the uncertainty of paying his assistants? So AC doesn't leave either. He turned down ND and others out of high school for OSU. He's loyal
Great interview and Aiden seems like a good kid. That said, I never understood how Chiles fits into what Smith does best: a pro style offense. And as suspected, Aiden pretty much confirms that Smith torpedoed the Beavers season last year. I personally wouldn't follow a guy like that but we'll see how it goes.
One question about Aidan Chiles. WHATS NOT TO LIKE? This is an endearing young man. Right down to his Nike football cleats!! In all fairness, who can blame him for transferring in the face of quarterbacking a program that was in lame duck status? Oregon State was in a conference that no longer exists. Jonathan Smith was the head coach of a program without a true conference affiliation. All Homerism aside, what was he to do? Smith left his alma mater, that he resurrected by the way, for greener pastures with the Green and White. Any ambitious coach that seeks the highest competitive advantage would do the same. There is nothing about Aidan Chiles and Jonathan Smith which doesn't radiate class and humility. Which is much more than can be said for his predecessor.
It won't go well for him. The Smith/Lingren system isn't viable in CFB and requires more than college level QBs can deliver. Game one is in the books, everyone saw how bad Chiles and MSU looked on offense. The first play was an interception. No sympathy for Chiles whatsoever when this blows up in his face. He's a low character guy. Says one thing, and then does another. No principles.
so OSU getting stranded in the mountain west for now and the uncertainty of paying coaches who had been with him causes JS to leave? And of court Aiden leaves with him
@UnafraidShow I'm from Oregon, doesn't get nearly as cold, or nearly as much snow, as Michigan. 40° is considered a cold weather game. Also, playing for about 20% of the snaps one year isn't really enough to get acclimated even if Oregon was as cold as Michigan. He's a Californian, he's never faced weather like he's going to this year.
He went to MSU bc the state of MSU football is a disaster esp at QB so he is guaranteed to start. I'm a Wolverine fan but I hope Coach Smitty can bring some class and respect to state. Would love to see a respectful hard hitting rivalry not lucky bounce wins, and then an MSU that can take it the distance into the playoffs and win, not fold up in embarrassing fashion as Dantonio did vs Bama. We shall see... Chiles would be a start
This ain’t the same Sparty team as last year. They didn’t have a QB. Terrible defense. No coach 😂 - nothing! Watching Michigan tear them up was like watching someone batter a blind kid in a wheelchair. But it ain’t last year no more or the year before that. They cut the dead weight from the roster after firing that fraudulent coaching staff. New staff. I hope they are competitive. They can’t be worse than last year.
@UnafraidShow I take it youve never played at a D1 or the next level. You never put down other programs nor other coaches in any negative way it will carry how other nfl scouts will look at him for future references
