Yeah, I mean the $10m is like what a sixth of the conference annual payment right?

It's a new market, until some some sort of CBA is signed that includes coaches/players the numbers will just keep going up.

I thought there was a hiring floor of Summarall but turns out it can be a whole lot lower.

Keef gets em again.

Seriously though, if we end up with Durkin...

That would be putting ourselves in the pine box. Like metafour mentioned, Durkin hasn't been mentioned in ANY of the coaching searches going on right now, kind of like how no one was beating down the door at Liberty to hire Freeze besides Auburn.

Ironically I feel like the booster side of things was fully behind the Freeze hire, they just chose a guy who hadn't been able to coach big league football in like 10 years.

Trash call by the ref there

That was brutal. I get they are a better team than us but I counted 4 or 5 defensive lapses total during the Oregon game. I stopped counting after 10 in the first half here. You can win games if you shoot poorly but defend well (most of last year), but if you shoot poorly and play badly on defense.....

Dude you're getting a Dell

Any way it breaks in this game will tell us a lot about the team, that's for sure.

---

Lea put on a coaching clinic on us last week.

Jerry Kill did. Had em in the first half and they made offensive adjustments and "killed" us in the second half.

He and Diego were a package deal coming from New Mexico and that coincides exactly with Lea winning games at Vanderbilt. The three seasons he had without a 25+ yr old QB and a really good OC are the more likely results if he were to be hired.

Kind of like Mateer and his OC from Wazzu being a package deal. They've made Veneables look good.

Because of the turnaround of Ashton with and without Freeze, it's now harder to say that everything is on Arnold. He might have just been trying his best to execute the Hugh Freeze offense which had dogshit results. I still say keep it going with Ashton and ship Arnold out of town but it's now clearer that under old leadership there was such a low probability of success on offense.

No one has hired Gruden after he was terminated from the Raiders.

Probably a few reasons for that, but the biggest one was that he wasn't any good in his most recent coaching stint where he received total control of a franchise and was still mediocre.
