I wish we would have let LSU pay Fisher a billion dollars like they wanted to and promoted Mike Elko to head coach.

Elko is HC at Duke now and they’re 4-1 with the only loss to 5-0 Kansas on the road. They currently have the 35th ranked recruiting class when they’re normally 60th or below.

Chris Petersen. Not sure he really wants to coach again but I would have made him tell me no.

I wanted Bob Stoops over Saban. I’ve never been more happy to eat crow.

Jimbo Fisher in 2016 and Tom Herman in 2017.

Dodged a bullet both times. Whew.

Champ. When I heard false news about him being hired in 2009, I was thrilled.

During the whole Tom Herman/Ed O cycle I was really hoping lsu would pull Dan Mullen out of Mississippi state and when he was hired at Florida I really thought he was going to kill it there

Huh?

Dano would at least listen and may well go to Bama - it’s hard to turn a blind ear when mama calls

Kirby is home where he met his wife and they both played; he likely won’t leave

But Dano? I mean we almost lost Dooley to Auburn

and as a kid watching I hated it! In retrospect, we’d MIGHT have been better off if he had jumped, because we’d likely have gotten Erk as the head man…
