    Hackett has made multiple terrible game decisions which have been widely ridiculed by both the press and the fans. He was in way over his head and deserved to be fired. 

    No one argued otherwise.  

    The observation/argument is that it's bullshit that the GM is keeping his job at this point.  He decided to both hire Hackett and trade for Wilson.  He should absolutely be gone as well, and Wilson gets to hang around and be a punching bag while he counts his money.

    You've been to France and you don't want to root against them?  France is beautiful and has some of the best food and art in the world, but the people are assholes.

    OSU didn’t win the right to play in their own conference title game so they should win the right to play for the national title, without playing a game? They sat out and risked nothing but get to benefit by not playing an extra game? Just no.

    2016 tOSU says hi.  Precedent has been set for years.  Doesn't mean it will happen this year, although it seems pretty damn likely.

    Serious question: why should Bama make it over TCU or Clemson or Tennessee - other than the name? 

    Not necessarily reasons they should, but reasons the committee could use:

    Clemson - Losing at home to South Carolina and getting crushed on the road by Notre Dame is worse than 2 overtime loses on the road to LSU and Tennessee.  Maybe they let Clemson jump Bama if Dabo swears a blood oath not to send DJ back out there as qb.

    Tennessee - Barely won the H2H at home with their Heisman candidate qb.  Said qb is done for the season with a torn ACL.  They are not remotely the same team without him, beating Vandy doesn't mean much.

    TCU - Are we really going to pretend brand/ability to pull in a national audience is in the same ballpark here?  That's not supposed to matter, but if you want to keep believing that it doesn't, go right ahead.

    Why/How is this Bullshit OK for others and TCU to run up the score, but if Texas were to run up the score in a similar MNC chase, it's "unsportsmanlike/wrong/mean/bad/Texas-shouldn't-benefit-from-running-up-the-score-in-the-CFPstandings"?

    Because everyone knows the CFP will look for any excuse to leave an undefeated TCU out in favor of a 1 or 2 loss blueblood/semi-blueblood like USC, LSU, tOSU this year?

    38-6 Gata 5 min left. 

    SEC Network announcer doesn't think 6-4 is enough to get Florida into the top-25 this coming week, despite their "big win" over Utah (nevermind that was back in week 1).  I guess that counts as being somewhat rational given the source?

    This means they have something on him. It’s not good will. No one leaves 10 million on the table.

    Gary Andersen left $12.6 million on the table when he resigned at Oregon State in 2017...then left $2.7 million on the table when he resigned from his 2nd stint at Utah State in 2021.  Haven't seen anything about either school having dirt on him.

    Do any of you speak English?  I have no idea what most of the last 5-6 posts are saying. I’m a magic playing, Star Wars underwear wearing, comic book reading engineer and y’all are making me feel better about myself. 

    I assume it's something like analytics arguments that go on in all sports.

    One side saying analytics show the one guy clearly cheated.

    Other side saying the analytics are being used wrong.

    End of the day all of them are nerds.

    I don't think Trey is the answer either, considering he never beat Jimmy for the job. But his sample size is still small. 

     

    They will probably need to draft a QB  if they want to upgrade.

    Agree, but I have no idea how long their window is open with this core.  Deebo is a beast, but he gets a ton of usage and I'm not sure how long they can expect him to stay healthy and perform at this level.  They already have health issues with Kittle and...basically all their running backs.  Unless they're drafting someone ready to go in year 1-2, they're pushing their luck with everyone else being around health or contract-wise.

    Now maybe the experts will understand why SF wanted to upgrade from Jimmy G.

    That's fine.  But Trey Lance looked worse than Jimmy G at actually trying to make reads and throws.  Not Tim Tebow level, but pretty fucking bad.  Miami gonna enjoy another high 1st round draft pick next year.

    Hackett’s getting canned mid season. You can only go against analytics for so long. 
     

     

    Reboot those BCS computers, re-program them, then call whatever plays get the highest rating among all of them?  Sounds like a plan.

    This game is even worse than expected. 

    Now imagine if we had to watch Trey Lance try to throw the ball on a regular basis instead of Jimmy G.

    Remember that Adrian Martinez has a knack for committing late turnovers that snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. 

    At Nebraska.  Which has seemed to be the case for...all Nebraska QBs lately.
