The hire is settled; what matters now is the gap between the name on the door and the results on the field. The discourse has moved on; what's left is the quiet work of building something.

🧐THE SKEPTICSNo prominent dissent — the coverage runs one way.

The analytical counter: rankings, results and 'the hype is ahead of the tape' takes.

Nothing in our corpus yet — this door stays open for when there is.

😈THE RIVALSThe rest of the league is watching — rival reaction lands here.

Schadenfreude is half the fun. Cross-fanbase capture (rival boards / opposing beats) isn't wired into the corpus yet — this door fills when it is.

💬THE BOARDSQuiet on the boards so far.

The boards haven't picked this up in a measurable way yet.

💰THE MARKETNo live market on the box yet — nothing to price the reaction against.

We don't carry a live win-total / playoff / Heisman market on the box yet. When it's wired, the pre→post line move sits here.

The non-obvious thing to track

The obvious story is the marquee name; the non-obvious one is roster churn — a coaching change keeps a portal and decommit window open long after the introductory presser. Watch decommitments and portal moves in the next window — that's where this is actually won or lost, not at the podium.
