UGA too high. Their best QB transferred...

Meh. Muschamp put in some time at a comparable mid tier program and now he's finally coaching at a big time program.

If a coach ever wanted to coach big time college football...


He needs to put in a couple years at a mid tier school like UT first.

History does suggest that if an LSU coach wants to reach their full potential they need to go to Bama...

Where are all of these neutral site games played? That's 32 of them per year.

Do OOC games have to be against fellow D1 opponents or can you play teams like Prairie View A&M, UTSA, or New Mexico State?

Wasn't around for the bet but that's a great signature by Bluefin. Just excellent.

When Bryant and Stallings retired, Alabama did not handle the transition well at all, and it may be that this is the price a program pays for having a great coach who got your team to unprecedented heights.

You may be right about this but it is very hard to watch it happen first hand.

Of course every true Gamecock fan is very thankful for Spurrier getting us to where we are. We would have lost way more than 6 games without him this year and I don't want him to retire. However, some sort of succession plan that we can point to needs to be in place. Simply telling a kid his position coach is under contract for 2 years is not enough. Saying you're only going to coach for 2-3 years and not addressing the inevitable vacuum that occurs afterwards is crazy.

This recruiting class evaporating and the cluster that next year's recruiting class will be is on Spurrier. The lack of a plan for post-Spurrier is on the AD.

It could be the HCIW thing. Could also be another guy completely. Or it could be BS. Regardless that thread on TBS is exploding right now. Sometimes I wish I was a member and this is one of those times.

I sincerely hope they aren't giving anyone an actual HCIW tag because of the recruiting restrictions. But I'm down with a "you'll have a great chance at being the HC after Spurrier...wink-wink" arrangement.

I've seen almost all of the movies mentioned in this thread but Saving Private Ryan is the only opening scene that I can replay perfectly in my mind if I closed my eyes right now. It was that memorable and thus the best.
