  1. We have hired a MBB coach from Tech that reached the championship and a Baseball coach that reached the championship at A&M. If that tradition continues that means we will have to hire a FB coach from an in state school that made the championship... Oh please no...
  2. This was about 2 weeks after he publicly said he didn't leave TCU for a "better job just a different job" and they still thought he was a lock to stay.
  3. Seconding this. All I have heard is how great that job compared to PSU but in reality they are barely a top 15 Brand Also per this reddit post that compiled data they are 25th in total viewers in their best season in 3 decades. while PSU is 20th in the worst post Paterno
  4. The narrative around here that the NFL is some sacred ground that only hires elite HCs from within is pretty dumb. Matt Rhule- Won 11 games at Baylor and spent 1 season (2012 with the Giants) before the Panthers hired him. Jim Harbaugh- Spent 2 years with the Raiders (02-03) and had 1 great season at Stanford before a top 3 NFL brand hired him n San Francisco. Bobby Petrino- Worked with the Jags for 3 years before coaching Louisville to 2 top 10 seasons. And lets not forget the biggest brand in football hired brian schottenheimer who had been fired or not retained about 5 times before getting his first HC job.
  5. After our game and this he must still have a grudge for Sark being his only loss in 2021.
  6. Georgia is very beatable this year so my assumption is this will be a game that comes down to 1 play . Sarks been on the wrong side of these games in his time here so not expecting a win but I will be the least surprised Texas fan if we can pull it out.
  7. With the aggys winning, Cowboys sucking, and early Christmas decor going up, the optimism is the only thing keeping me sane at this point.
  8. My original post was assuming all favorites win out.
  9. Their SEC opponent win percentage is hovering around 30% in all scenarios. Here are 7 of their 8 opponents projected final standings.
  10. If Texas wins out and LSU beats Oklahoma in the final week it will come down to scoring margin.
  11. Looking at the final 3 weeks of SEC action there are tons of scenarios that can play out and as of Today only Alabama and Georgia control their own destiny. Remaining Schedule with favorites highlighted If all the favorites win their remaining games Alabama plays Georgia in the SECCG. If Texas and all other favorites win out. Texas loses the tiebreaker but gets into the playoffs around the 5-6 seed IMO. For Texas to get in with the 4 way Tiebreaker they need to win out and have Vandy to win out against Kentucky and Tennessee. If Texas wins out and Oklahoma beats Alabama this weekend Texas finishes 1st in the standings then faces Bama in the SECCG. The only way Texas gets in with a Bama loss to Auburn in the Iron bowl, Florida would have to beat Ole Miss this weekend. In this scenario Texas gets in regardless of Florida/Tennessee next weekend Reference: https://bball.notnothing.net/sec.php?sport=fb
  12. Still working through all of these games but couple of takeaways. I liked the player intros being mostly Texas players. Something cool about it being local players on each team. How in the hell did yall watch these games without scores and a timer?
  13. If Silverfield does end up at Arkansas I hope Traylor can get the Memphis job. Would give him a 3 year runway to finally get a P4 job before retirement. This is all assuming he does not upgrade to an in state job this cycle.
  14. Just watched Texas vs Houston 1990. Key take away Belt to Ass.
  15. All on the list! With how the cowboys are trending this year I will probably start these at halftime tonight.
  16. Since we are on a bye this week i am in search of a historic Texas game to watch. Recently I watched the documentaries on the 1960s teams and I have watched just about every game since 2005 so anything from 1970-2005 that was memorable/historic would be greatly appreciated.
  17. 100% guaranteed and no offset clause. Also $0 buyout if he ever wanted to leave town.
  18. I found a few incentive laden contracts but in Elkos case he would need to make the playoffs and a semi final every year to make the same money as Deion Sanders does for going 4-8. Those deals break down quickly when another school offers $100 million guaranteed. I will add to the Elko contract that only 75% is of the contract is guaranteed. Penn State could/should put pressure on them with that lopsided deal favoring the school.
  19. And it has cost them their best baseball coach ever and a basketball coach to Maryland. We will see about that. They were so proud of their incentive laden contract and would not be shocked to see them balk at paying $12 million to Elko and $7.5 to Jimbo Sumerall is an Alabama native and did well at Troy. Or they can talk themselves in to Jimbo, who could be looking at a $15 million per year all in salary with the aggy buyout still on the books.
  20. Coaching contracts and their role in coaching the carousel this season. Signed- Curt Cignetti signed an eight-year, $93 million extension last month. $15 million if he were to leave Matt Rhule signed extension through 2032 with an AAV of $11.7 million. $15 million if he were to leave Yet to sign- Lane Kiffin- Currently at $9 million with a revolving 6 year deal that ranks 10th in the country and 5th in the SEC. With LSU and Florida interested an extension should be announce before the end of the year in the $11-13 million range. $3 million buyout if he left. Currently connected with every job open. Eliah Drinkwitz- Just signed an extension through 2029 at $9 million. $5 million buyout if he left. With a strong finish him and his agent will be winners of the Kiffin runner up sweepstakes. Josh Huepel- Signed the same extension as Drink. If he leaves before Dec 15th the buyout is $8 million and $6 million after. LSU and Tennessee boards believe he is in play. Jedd Fish- Signed a 7 year deal worth $7.75 million in 2024. Buyout to leave before next season is $10 million. Florida Alum and known job hopper. Kenny Dillingham- Signed through 2029 at $5.8 million. Buyout to leave is $4 million after Dec 1. ASU alum but will be highly sought after with another strong finish. Jeff Brohm- Signed through 2029 at $5.9 million. $1 million dollar buyout if he were to leave. Louisville alum but has been linked to PSU. Mike Elko- Signed through 2029 at $7 million base (heavy incentives and 1 year added for playoffs). Buyout if he were to leave $5.5 or $6 million. Still linked to PSU and will have the aggie faithful begging for an extension before the end of the year. Brent Key- Signed through 2029 at $4.5 million. TBD on buyout to leave. He is a GT alum but being interviewed allegedly by PSU this week.
  21. Joey McGuire's buyout is only $10 million at Tech. Thats cheap if they dont win the Big 12 and make a deep run. Would be mutually beneficial for all involved if they could take Riley off SCs hands after the season and send McGuire to Baylor.
  22. The owner of the Bills Terry Pegula as an alum. He wrote a $100 million check to allow PSU to have hockey and even paid to keep O'Brien around. They also churn out CEOs at an impressive rate ranking as high as #2 in that regard. https://onwardstate.com/2013/01/04/the-man-who-saved-penn-state-football/
  23. K. C. Keeler has Temple at 5-3 this year after only winning 12 total games since COVID. Would love to see a big program give him a shot to right the ship for 3 years.
  24. On the Penn State side of things they are likely going to have most of their Franklin buyout eliminated from the books this year due to enough high profile jobs of his choosing. Their current AD used to be Temple and hired Rhule, Geoff Collins and Manny Diaz (for 2 weeks) which all had success there. So don't be surprised if he out manuevers Alberts and a&m.
  25. Couple of notes on Elko and A&M. Ross Bjork hired him from duke and his replacement is Trev Alberts who has lost Schloss Texas and Buzz to Maryland in his 20 months on the job. Jimbos buyout is 7.5 million per year until 2031 and based on the Rhule extension Penn State was likely in the 12 million per year range. Would the aggies be willing to commit around $20 million per year in just Head Coaching salaries? Ross Bjork in 2023 after the Jimbo firing mentioned publicly they were looking for ways to cut costs. Full interview- Cost cutting around 3 minutes
