He wasn’t technically named the starter for the bowl game. Dowell said if the game was today, Kohl would be the starter. The game is 12/29 and no install has occurred.

I’m hoping this is because Loggains simply told him he wouldn’t be starting next year. Hope they someone lined up in the portal

Seriously, this is ridiculous, named the starter for the bowl game and does this…

I wouldn’t sign up to coach in this era the G6 level, just not worth it.
It's only ridiculous in terms of the environment being what it is. For Kohl, and any other G5 player that had even a decent season, putting your name in the portal and seeing what happens is just smart business. Portal doesn't mean they are leaving, they are just officially seeing what's out there. They might still return.
I also don't see this as ridiculous. If he's the starter, that means he's still playing until the season officially ends. It would be ridiculous if he entered the portal and refused to play- basically quitting on the team.

I think, in the grand scheme of things, CFB is crazy. Free agency after every year. Even the NFL does not work under this model.
For the long-term success of the sport, something has to change whereby you cannot be a free agent every year.
Not sure of the solution, however, something has to change.. or CFB may see a downward trend in popularity faster than NASCAR.

Just found this article on Kohl. Interesting part toward the very end of the article,

"Kohl wasn't guaranteed to be the starter at Appalachian State in 2026. He'll likely be searching for a scenario where he'll be able to command a quarterback room and play a ton of snaps next season."

If the guy isn't always willing to compete then good riddance. I am so tired of these younger entitled people (painting with a very broad brush here) that feel they need guarantees of things in order to participate. What ever happened to competition? I want a player that thrives on competition, not one that hides from it. Also, if he was really the #11 QB prospect in the country when he came out, well those ratings are even more inaccurate than I thought they were.

Well, Loggains has been saying they want Smart, Tough, and Competitive. Guess JJ isn't that last one and the second is questionable after seeing him turtle up short of a first down on a run

Dowell has said repeatedly they're giving out opportunities and nothing is guaranteed. It's a good principle, but it's a hard one to maintain.

Just got done with a Microdisectemy.
I don’t know if I can suit up at QB for the bowl game quite yet, but maybe by next year I’ll be ready for QB clipboard holder. I can be a good clapper and “butt slapper”

You'll be ready to suit up in time for our next bowl game, Tiger.
We're counting on you.
