  1. we're not supposed to call them that anymore say "Herman's a queer" if you're going there
  2. maybe? who the fuck watches Oregon State play?
  3. say hello to your new defensive coordinator, Bo Pelini
  4. because it looked exactly like fucking Clemson?
  5. Especially in COVID/post-COVID contracts. The question of "do we have to pay our coach/coaches even if we don't play football games because of pandemic" was probably elided under very broad force majeure language. Betting both sides want that question understood and very explicitly documented.
  6. maybe a giant banner at the top of the page?
  7. check on the Invisible Fence too while you're up, those ninth-graders are a handful
  8. I can Cliff's Notes it for you-- I think Harbaugh represents the struggles any NFL coach would have in college; ztejas thinks because Harbaugh had success at Stanford, he doesn't really count. Just idle discussion, there's no way to prove either position.
  9. You appear to be interpreting that sequentially when it's meant in terms of his notoriety. He was better known or more often characterized, i.e. first and foremost, for his success with the 49ers when he took the Michigan job. In my opinion, anyway. He was an NFL guy taking a college job, in shorthand.
  10. I think Harbaugh is widely known for his NFL success first and his build job at Stanford second. I actually think he's a pretty good example. And he's been a failure in college since he got NFL'ed up.
  11. Recruiting and relationships with HS coaches are such critical components of running a college program. I think the vast majority of NFL coaches would fail miserably at those two things. Neither of them is as facile as throwing your Super Bowl rings on the coffee table and bragging about "how we did it in New England". And there's no "touchdown button" in the college game-- the idea that any of these guys are so brilliant that they have a decided schematic advantage over guys who've never been in the NFL is laughable in all but a few cases, so don't expect an NFL guy to come in and whip a bunch of selfish, lazy 4* players into a juggernaut through game-planning and playcalling. And yes I know anyone who's inclined to disagree with the above will say "Pete Carroll Pete Carroll Pete Carroll Pete Carroll". Pete Carroll is a Grade-A psychological masterpiece of sociopathy and pandering. If you watched the 60 Minutes piece on him and read about his time in LA, it sounds like the next time he takes a hard stand with a recruit or player will be the first. The closest we could get to him would be Eric Bienemy. Good luck with that culture fit. I would vote Bienemy "most likely to leave a 5-game losing streak behind by returning to the NFL with two games left on the schedule."
  12. anyone other than Meyer, and I'll just wait to tune in until after we start winning consistently. I'm not sitting through another four years of this shit.
  13. maybe someone murdered him and fucked his wife
  14. the difference is that he can do that TV thing whenever he wants between now and his mid-70s the longer he stays on the sidelines, the less likely it is he'll ever coach at a program commensurate with his stature again-- if he waits until he's 64 and decides "I HAVE TO COACH AGAIN", he's not getting a job like Texas or USC
  15. no see the surprise is, it's 12 years at $5m per CDC really knows how to work 'em
  16. how will we replace his motor and effort, against KSU? Caden Stearns didn't always try hard, but he tried to try.
  17. Harbaugh to Lions makes so much sense that I'll be surprised if it doesn't happen. His NFL bona fides are, IMO, not diminished by his failure in Ann Arbor. In the NFL, you're not (realistically) trying to hire a guy who'll stay 20 years anyway*. If he takes the Detroit job and just gets them into the playoffs three times before weirding out, that's huge success. * that's always the college coaching fantasy, i.e., "Bob Stoops is only 40 and just won a national title in his second year, he'll coach another twenty years here and win four more!" or "Ryan Day can rewrite the Ohio State coaching record book between now and his 70th birthday!"
  18. prepare for two disappointments, then, regardless of who we hire
  19. 1) Ohio State fans and worse media are pretty funny about this. "LOLZ Texas thinks they can get Meyer, there's no way, he doesn't want to coach again and he has health concerns that will keep him from ever coaching. Plus he'd never want to go to UT/Austin and he doesn't want to coach in the era of the transfer portal and name/likeness compensation..... ...but if he does LOLZ he'll get whipped by Ryan Day because he's old." So we shouldn't go after him because of every reason you can think of, but even if he does it doesn't matter to Ohio State. Right. Whistling past the graveyard. 2) I keep seeing people saying that he retired over health concerns. Not so. At least, not entirely. He also retired because he felt like the Ohio State administration threw him under the bus during the Zach Smith ordeal. There were a LOT of Ohio State people, ranging from internet dipshits to BMDs to people in the administration, that felt like Meyer's suspension was scapegoating him. Meyer felt that too. So this idea that it's just his poor broken brain that has him on the sideline-- nope.
  20. Disagree. That dude is toxic, currently unemployed, and didn't have a good reputation as a receivers coach in the first place. I think if Meyer made his hiring conditional on bringing Smith, Texas would balk. Imagine if we were trying to bring Mack Brown back and he insisted Cleve Bryant be part of the package.
