Simmons signed.
Didn't see anything here about this but several sources say its a done deal.
Says he'll compete with Zollers for the job.

Re: Simmons signed.
Just one fun 2025 comparison.
Matt 5.72 yards per attempt
Beau 7.19 YPA
Austin 9.92 YPA
Hopefully he ha some assurances that they'll open up the offense a bit.

Re: Simmons signed.
Maybe you were joking, but I haven’t heard much negative. He had some turnovers, his decision making got him in some trouble. But otherwise people rave about his arm talent, leadership, and he’s reportedly very smart. Ole Miss people love him. And if they’re anything like Mizzou fans, overall we’ve loved maybe 2 QB’s in the last 25 years. Not me, I love all these guys. They suit up, they’re Tigers until they (bleep) on us.HoopsGuruII wrote: ↑06 Jan 2026 11:01 amAlso, if he's as bad as some think there will be no competition.Lightning Rod wrote: ↑06 Jan 2026 10:20 amIf he's as good as some think there will be no competition.11WSChamps wrote: ↑06 Jan 2026 09:56 am Didn't see anything here about this but several sources say its a done deal.

Having him and Zollers competing might be the best arm talent we’ve had on the same roster since 2008.

Re: Simmons signed.
Talent level has definitely been raised.
Now you've got 8 months or so to coach them up and play to their respective strengths.
That's what good coaches do not try and fit square pegs into round holes.
We'll see if the new OC and Drinkwitz can make this a reality.
Putting this kind of arm talent on a leash is not good for anyone.

Re: Simmons signed.
Yet another staff decision off spring practice between these 2? Or will the decision be made by game 2 or 3 of the season under fair circumstance?
I'm wide open for the new guy I just want the best player between them to be the starter.
