How should Memphis football, Ryan Silverfield handle offseason after bowl win, transfers Tiger Football Podcast

Welcome to another week of the Memphis Football podcast! Columnist Mark Giannotto and beat writer Evan Barnes are back to breakdown the end of the Tigers' season with a win in the First Responder Bowl.

How much does the bowl win mean? Coach Ryan Silverfield and players said it could be momentum but that might have change with three starters now in the transfer portal. Mark and Evan break down the aftermath of the departures as well as what changes Memphis should make with this roster that has to replace, as of now, 13 starters.

Evan discusses some of the Tigers' biggest offseason needs as well as the AAC landscape in 2023 with several top teams losing key players, too. Mark chimes in to assess how Silverfield's fourth season will be crucial to decide how the program goes forward on his watch.

Will the recent class of 2023 signees help change things? Will spring practice ease or confirm concerns or should fans wait until August to see if their feelings change about Silverfield and the Tigers? We break that down and more as the podcast takes its winter break until spring practice in March.
