When Saban and Urban aren't winning it, Mack Brown, Gene Chizik, Les Miles, Lloyd Carr, Phil Fulmer and Larry Coker all managed to win a title.

Average coaches win titles all the time. Just have to recruit the requisite amount of talent, which I think he could do if he gets to 11-1 this year. And that's allowing for the assumption he (and his staff that does the a fair portion of the work) is average at best. I'd argue it's a pretty strong group of coaches.

There is nothing average about Miles, Brown, Carr or Fulmer.

Fired, fired, forced out, and fired. And I'm sure you'd agree with those AD decisions.

Those guys routinely wasted ridiculously talented teams and won due to significant talent advantages over their opponents.

You gotta be the dumbest smart guy I've come across, with some of the arguments you chose to make.

Something about that statement doesn't read right lol. I get what u r saying tho!

I'm hoping to be there as well. Technically I am on call and technically I'm only allowed 90 minutes to respond to a call but hell I can get to cs in 90 minutes...just can't get out of the stadium to my car and to work in 90 minutes lol. But with it being thanksgiving I'm hoping my boss will go easy on me. Plus my folks are coming spend the holiday with me and they haven't been back to aTm since the early 90s and my wife has never been to a football game at Kyle. So I think I'll be there lol

Tldr I'll be there lol

Are you coming to Baton Rouge to watch the swamp kittens scrub down your shitty team


I wish. I live in Idaho and my oldest is playing two AAU basketball games on Saturday. My wife wouldn't be too happy with me if I flew home to watch a game when I told her a couple weeks ago we weren't flying home for the holidays.

All had great 10+ year runs of sustained national success with mutiple titles in major conferences.

Kevin Sumlin won a cotton bowl once and has a cool helicopter

You just equated Kevin Sumlin to four of the most accomplished coaches in the modern era of college football.
