re: Im not sure if OU can rebound from this season
Posted by JohnJohn on 11/10/24 at 7:06 am
Georgia got a pretty good one hiring Kirby with 0 HC experience.
HC experience is great, but it isn’t required. You can have success as an elite coordinator hire. There are examples all over the country.

Heupel's mom died last year.
re: Auburn 2-8 the last 10. Why is this? Auburn fans said Freeze was Saban level.

As long as Freeze isn't calling the escort services I guess it's ok.

Tennessee? Granted they were in decline under Fulmer, but they were expected to make a big leap in year 2 under Kiffin... then Dooley showed up for that season.

re: Would Heupel leave Tennessee for Oklahoma?

No, he wouldn't. I am able to seperate my fandom from reality, but Heupel has a $45 million buyout, which on top of Venebles $40 million dollar buyout...On top of that, Tennessee has enough assets to make the bidding extremely difficult to afford. Tennessee may have been living off the 1990s for the last 20 years or so, but they have a ton of resources that can match just about anyone.
It's one thing to return to a place you have coached at before, but name a coach (besides Bobby Petrino) that returned to a school that fired them? You can count them on one hand. It wasn't a situation where Heupel left to get HC experience. He had to catch on with Utah State and rebuild his career.
OU also doesn't have he recruiting advantages over Tennessee that you can sell at UGA.

re: When was the last time that Vanderbilt and Tennessee
Posted by JohnJohn on 10/20/24 at 3:18 pm
1955. 1984 and 1969 were years that Bama lost to both, but Vandy didn't play or lost to Auburn those years.
re: If Billy can get the Gators bowl eligible is he still fired?
Posted by JohnJohn on 9/23/24 at 9:41 am
That's the sticker.
For one, Lane Kiffin's buyout is around $42 million. I'm not aware of any clauses that would let him leave for a specific program, but it's possible since he's not employed by the state of Mississippi.
Add in Napier's buyout and that's a lot of money.
On top of that, Florida needs some stability. I'm no insider, but the university has an interim president and an AD who is also on the hot seat.
I'm not saying Kiffin wouldn't come, but after going through a pretty dysfunctional administration at USC, will it be a priority for him to go where there isn't stability in the administration?

I see a path to bowl eligibility. I would put it at about 40%.
He needs wins against Kentucky, UCF, FSU. That gets him to 5 wins. I doubt they can beat LSU, but it's at home so I wouldn't rule it out completely. I think LSU is the better team, but they haven't been playing well even when they are winning. So if they can upset LSU, then I would put the odds up over 50%. The only road game against teams they have to beat is Florida State, and that is the one team I would take Florida over without a 2nd thought this year.

Heupel called off the dogs. He went vanilla at halftime and shut it down. The Vols had both their starting tackles out and were trying to protect Nico.
They basically just ran it up the middle and sat on the lead. No outside runs and very few pass plays.

re: The problem with Florida and Kiffin… money.
Posted by JohnJohn on 9/17/24 at 6:00 am
You can have all the money in the world but Kiffin won’t go to Florida unless the have a permanent university president and an AD on solid footing.
It would be career suicide to accept a job where you know you’re likely to have a new boss before your first game.

LOL doesn’t Pittman also come from Butch Jones’ coaching tree?

Posted by JohnJohn on 12/13/22 at 2:37 pm
There is one man that has the balls and the system that could fill Leach’s shoes at State. He’s been out of the conference for too long.
Now is the time to welcome him back.
Do it Mississippi State. Ring them cowbells and HIRE FREAKIN HAL MUMME!!!

re: With Freeze and Kiffin gone. AU HC search predictions as of 11-27

His words were that he was “the most Christlike” AD in the business. Remember, it’s the same AD who was fired from Baylor for the rapey culture at a school whose leader and figurehead was forced out for watching his wife do the naughty with a Miami pool boy. Liberty is scum.
re: Is Beamer the most likable SEC coach?
Posted by JohnJohn on 11/27/22 at 8:20 am
Yes. I say that as a fan of the team that just got our season sunk by Beamer. He’s a likable guy. Who else? Kirby’s not exactly likable outside of UGA fans. Saban is respected, but not liked by everyone outside of Tide fans. Brian Kelly has come out looking better than he did coming in but that’s a low bar. Heupel isn’t exactly a likable personality outside of TN fans. Napier doesn’t show much personality. Kiffin is Kiffin. Jimbo is Jimbo.
Maybe Pitman or Leach, but neither of them have that personality that makes you happy for him when he wins against someone other than your preferred program.

They saw how it worked out for LSU when Saban left for the NFL…

Whenever someone brings up Jimbo, it reminds me to go check out how old Taylor is holding up in life.

Why is it that every time I google Taylor Jacobs a bunch of pictures of Jimbo’s ex-wife pop up?
re: Ride with Cadillac
Posted by JohnJohn on 11/1/22 at 3:27 pm
I’d love to see Cadillac be successful. I think he was a fantastic player and a great guy. If he won out, they’d have a very difficult time telling him that he was being replaced by Rhett Lashlee if he knocked off Saban (but that isn’t likely with the squad they have been trotting out there each week).
