  1. 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.
  2. 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/
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. LSU's history should scare them away from hiring any big name coach. Their 3 NCs have come under head coaches that at the time were not yet household names. At time of LSU hiring Saban- 43-26-1 with 1 Mac championship and no ten win seasons. Only 1 top 10 finish. Won NC at LSU Miles- 28-21 at Ok State and never finished higher than 3rd in the Big 12. Won NC at LSU Orgeron- 10-25 at Ole Miss with no ranked finishes. Won NC at LSU Kelly- 145-61 with 3 conference championships. 4 BCS/Playoff bowls and 8 top 15 finishes. Fired for being an a hole.
  7. Yeah, you look it
  8. I'm taking the SEC championship in to account in that assumption. Scar will beat somebody this year (ala Texas/Florida) and Texas/Mizzou are good enough to capitalize on mistakes.
  9. I watch most of their games that dont coincide with our times. They will drop 2 before the playoffs. They string together a few low percentage plays on offense that would kill a game if they don't connect. Also the defense is suspect enough to drop 30+ on by a competent offense
  10. The point I'm making is those guys almost came when the program was a mess. How's the job look to those level of coaches with the current system in place? This administration got Seven Win Steve to back to back semi finals. He's proved anybody worth a lick can win big here under the current rules.
  11. Bumping this thread if anybody needs a good laugh this Monday morning.
  12. I 2nd this. No coach is licking their chops to coach at this version of Florida. Results aside Herman was getting any job he wanted in 2017 and would have went to LSU if we didn't come in. Secondly no other program ever got close to hiring Saban away from Alabama except for Texas. Same with Meyer almost pulling Meyer from retirement in 21.
  13. The delusion of a Blue Blood HC knows no bounds but this was more power related than money. There are no coincidences and timing lines up perfectly after everybody and their mom called for Sark to give up play calling duties. The threat from Sark/Sexton was to let him have total control or he has gonna take his ball and go to the NFL.
  14. Regarding Sark and the NFL heres a snippet from a 2011 interview. And before we say he'd never get a job offer this year just remember Kingsbury got hired as a HC after Tech fired him 2 months prior.
  15. Not sure who called plays officially but Sark takes credit. Sark was also Assistant HC that year and a photo from the season with a call sheet.
  16. Theres two timelines at play here. 1. We lose another game and Sark goes to the NFL before early signing day after a loss. To save the roster we are forced to hire a James Franklin or other non playoff coach of similar ilk. 2. We sneak into the playoffs or CDC gets Sark to wait until playoffs start allowing the better coaches to lose out. Right now Florida is forced to hire somebody before Kiffin can make a decision.
  17. People hating the Kiffin idea is wild. Hes on pace for his 7th 10 win season. Sark needs a miracle for his 3rd 10 win season this year. Kiffin has the only two 10 win seasons in FAU history and about 40% of Ole Miss'. He's done way more with less compared to Sark.
  18. *Gameday was in Nashville today *
  19. Of course. Did you know a 3rd year Peyton Manning lost to a 4 win Memphis team with this state line? Cmp Att Pct Yds Y/A AY/A TD Int 23 40 57.5 296 7.4 5.7 1 2
  20. Not that it matters but the Mannings are 9-0 vs Vanderbilt all time.. But they also have all had their worst performances against them for whatever reason.
  21. If they can't make a run this year then when will they? The next 4 years includes Texas 4X, LSU 4X Bama 2x, OU 2X, Georgia 2x, Ole Miss 2X, Tennessee 2X. Elko is a smart man and looking at Penn States future schedule they don't play Oregon until 2027 or Ohio State until 2028.
  22. Penn State to me is the most intriguing opening. They fired Franklin at a time where he is potentially in demand by P4 schools so their buyout will be greatly reduced if multiple schools get involved there. It will also be the first time it has opened in modern history without scandal holding them back. I think they could get serious looks from Elko and Kelly which is better than any school not named Florida this year. As for Florida their biggest advantage to Lane over Ole Miss is the ability to do a 10 year deal. For those unaware Mississippi schools can only offer 4 year deals so Lane has a rolling 6 year contract with the athletic foundation. Surely their boosters won't be dumb enough to personally guarantee that deal completely separate from the school.
