medically redshirted that season because of an injury


The “injury” was respiratory problems due to chronic tonsillitis. The NCAA wants more medical documentation to support the claims needing his tonsils removed kept him from starting.

why not give HC to Charlie


Pete has half a decade more experience than Charlie. It took a lot of people in this forum a few days to come around to the idea of Pete being an acceptable hire. They felt OM could have made a more glamorous splash hire. Fans felt that way despite Pete being from the Saban coaching tree.

The fanbase wouldn’t come around a Charlie hire as quickly. Charlie has only called plays under 2 coaches: Jeff Scott and LK. The 2 years he called plays under Jeff Scott, the offenses were the 3rd worst in the American.

They would in the long run make more money


No, they wouldn’t. Think about it. While ticket sales bring in some revenue, most of it comes from television rights. That’s the heart of conference realignment. They split off, they lose viewership. Look up FCS bowl viewership numbers compared to CFP viewership numbers. CFP gets double the eyeballs.
quote:

Not if they drew up plans for them to have their own playoff


G5 programs are FBS programs. The playoffs for FBS programs are their playoffs too. That’s why they get a spot. The G5 programs aren’t going to agree to a separate championship with lower compensation. They like the $$$ that comes from a CFP appearance.
quote:

I’ll wait and see how many Ole Miss players transfer to LSU


Not as many as LSU seems to think. Go back and watch post-game footage from the season. You can always tell LK’s guys because those are ones he gravitates to in post-game press shots.

Wild that LK was making them wear all the same shoes for uniforms


That only makes sense when it’s a NIL opportunity for the whole team.

Time to reconsider their inclusion over better teams.


The announcers discussed this during the end of the OM/Tulane game. G5 teams are let in to avoid anti-trust lawsuits against the P4 conferences.

Schools know they can’t match the Nike deal Lanning has while at Oregon. That is just as much a deterrent as his buyout. That deal is rumored to be worth twice his buyout.

require a serious contract buy/out clause


Realistically, what would that do? The schools LK was courting have demonstrated time and time again they will pay a coaches fee to buy them out of a contract as an “investment in success” without batting an eye.

My impression from the Cross interview is that fans won’t see much traction on that front until after Sunday’s final CFP announcement at the earliest.

It’s only like 20 minutes.

That’s a pretty succinct description. Kind of goes into a little bit into the decision to name Golding coach versus interim as well.

Hints that Egg Bowl win was more due to efforts of the coordinators and players than Kiffin.

Tries to reassure the fans that are upset over his handle business then tell the Ole Miss side approach that his primary focus since Saturday night has been doing whatever he could to ensure the CFP run happened for the players.

Oh and tells Cross that Golding’s introduction press conference that was canceled today will happen Sunday after final CFP brackets are announced.

Did you listen to the Keith Carter interview with Richard Cross?
quote:

If that’s true then I can’t believe that didn’t leak last week


With the media on Kiffin watch, you really think Sexton wouldn’t or couldn’t bury a leak like that?
Did anyone catch this Eli segment last night? He was hinting about Kiffin being MIA Egg Bowl week. LINK
We moved up a spot. Current rankings put us with a Georgia/OM repeat in the second round.

Get OM to pony up what LSU offered


OM did pony up to match the salary offer. What was OM supposed to do? Flatten the Vaught for a larger stadium? Promise Knox illegal high school NIL benefits under the table?

There are only so many variables of the decision that were under OM control, and some of those were not quick fixes.

we need to move on to a proven HC


I read in another forum that they interviewed other candidates, but the conversations were nonstarters because admin made it clear Golding had to stay.

Apparently he has the approval of the money men who prop up NIL. Losing significant NIL funds would damage the program a lot more than a losing season.

It’s a compromise hire that makes sense with the dumpster fire situation that we were in.
