Got to see the colusem once. They were working on some refurbishments and walking around down in the depths was a rat the size of a shoe box. So it was basically like a visit to Kyle field back in the 80's.
I never heard those rumors at the time. Not sure if they are true. Powers certainly seemed constrained by his P.C. views and the Korn Ferry report. He wasn't going to pay for the report and then go in another direction. His football knowledge was limited, as such it appeared (from my limited perspective) that the Korn Ferry report was the menu and he chose what he felt was the best (most comfortable) choice from that menu. I had understood (again from my limited perspective) that Red had been trying to get Patterson to look at Gruden and at least two others. Patterson wouldn't take or return his calls.
They probably feel they can't win. If they are known to be involved, even if they are doing the angel's work, they get blamed for interfering. If they are not known to be involved then, where are they?
How would you define BMD? Are you looking for a certain top percentage in the LHF? A dollar value? An annual dollar value? Or someone that holds a certain amount of sway with the AD?
So Ash has some great history as a DC, but the conspiracy crowd is ready to dump on him because and only because Herman knew him from OSU, where they won a NC. Is that about it?
Sounds like they would rather bring back Orlando. Maybe it's not too late!
Is there a system with no downsides?
Since the answer is no, I'd just a soon stay with the four team playoff.
It's just my personal preference, but we already have teams with one loss that could win the NC. Go to 8 and you will start having teams with 2 or more losses making it there. That just doesn't do anything for me.
I guess I just enjoyed ruining OU's or Arkey's or Aggy's chance at an NC in any given year, it was always great walking out of those stadiums KNOWING that OU's shot at a title that year was OVER!
Again, just my personal preference YMMV
Thanks, that's the info I was looking for. i remember being stoked about getting Christmas-Giles, but he doesn't even appear to be the biggest flameout on that list.
I was wondering about Charlie Strong's recruits on D and where they all went? How did we end up with almost no upper class-men? Did he just under recruit on that side of the ball combined with a high flop rate?
Daughters friend convinced her to consider going there. We went, took the tour, daughter thought it was ugly. I didn't disagree.
If she would have loved it, I would have written the check. So glad the place looks Soviet.
