Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Saban was crazy good and no one will replicate him but Bama was always a top job. They managed to win a conference championship under idiot Mike DuBose. Their issue was boosters who couldn’t get out of their own way and a cultish mania to maintain some sort of Apostolic Succession to The Bear. That led to questionable coaching hires. Lots of blue bloods have gone through lean streaks. They never went more than a decade between SEC championships.

Lane Kiffin to LSU?
Conferences and the league need to solve this on the other end: schools have to dance with who brung them till a season ends for that team. Want to give up on a season? Ok, that’s what happens. Fire a coach mid-season for anything but criminality or gross misconduct and: - Remaining games forfeited/not played - TV revenue redistributed to other conference mates, pro-rated. The firing school must make-up lost revenue for opponents’ road games and refund the price of all tickets equivalent to a sell-out game. Any lost TV revenue will be made up by the school. - Players get a year of eligibility and Čína either transfer or force the new regime to honor their roster spot the next year. That will reset the cycle to sanity quickly.

Lane Kiffin to LSU?
For me this demonstrates that character and addiction are separate things. People with good character can succumb to addiction and people with little character can beat it. I of course hope he beats it and is healthy for himself and family. But this is a really low-character display driven by vanity and self-centeredness. He’s taken all the joy out of a generational season for Ole Miss. He’s blown up his own career-defining accomplishment (to this point) and a chance at a championship now for the lure of something bigger around the corner. And he is fantastically, generationally wealthy. This isn’t about security. He lashed out so badly at that “hoe into a housewife” reporter because it hit home.

This dude a an irredeemable piece of shit. And aside from maybe FAU, he’s blown up relationships at every stop. Remember his hagiographic special on ESPN about finding peace at Ole Miss? lol.

The Aggies lost and so I needed to eat my feelings. The best way to eat feelings is with turkey gumbo.

2025 Egg Bowl - Ole Miss vs. MSU
I hope so. Really terrible how he’s handling himself. This could easily be the high point of his career, and he can’t lock in and see it through because he’s focused on chasing a brass ring down the road.

That’s the thing, with Clemson’s implosion who in the ACC is out coaching him? There are no elite teams or coaches in that league. Best coach might really be Lashlee.

They fired Pry in September ans just grabbed Franklin, unsurprising that they were floundering. What is surprising is how fast Franklin grabbed 4* OL from Penn State. Fong predicting more and maybe a T25 class. Franklin and VT can be a problem for the ACC.

2025 Egg Bowl - Ole Miss vs. MSU
Ole Miss D is bad. Really bad. They’re a scary team for CFP first and second round then get bounced.

VaTech is likely to emerge as the winner of this carousel rotation.

Brian Kelly to L$U
I think the chances are very high that VaTech emerges as the biggest winner of this carousel ride.

Feels more and more that many name schools are going to be facing firing remorse and another carousel ride as so many top and even middling candidates are choosing to stay put. Says a lot, IMO, about changing calculus with NIL and likely a nuanced understanding of how brutal some of these “destination” programs are on coaches. Rhule, Lea, Drinkwitz, Cig, Elko, Lashlee, Polasek. In past cycles a bunch of these folks are jumping to an Auburn, PSU, Florida. And of course Lane is the dog that hasn’t barked.

Looks like the Beavers will go with a longtime assistant-level coach to take the HC job. I’ll admit to being completely unfamiliar with him. What happened to OSU and Wazzou is one of the shittiest pieces of realignment.

Your Thanksgiving Day Spread
Pretty standard plate but all good. Oven turkey had a fennel-thyme-orange-garlic rub under the skin. All homemade andouille dressing, giblet gravy, savory sweet potato casserole with thyme and pecans, sweet and sour green beans, cranberry-orange sauce. And a pumpkin cheesecake waiting.

Two WV National Guard shot in DC
Why are you speculating that this is retaliation against the NG. Early returns see that the gunman was an Afghanistani who wasn’t even living in DC to be “menaced.”

Two WV National Guard shot in DC
Two WV NG members killed, another injured in shooting near the White House. Suspect injured but alive.

Adding to the pit bull argument
Remarkable how every single adult mentioned or implied in that story, with the exception of the plastic surgeon and team, could have easily saved that child’s life but just …. Didn’t. I am not in favor of destroying the pit just yet. All the social workers involved in the decision to leave that girl in the home should be locked in a room overnight with it on a rotating basis until either the dog is dead or the social workers are.

Adding to the pit bull argument
The Venn diagram of “pit bull owner” and “judgment proof” isn’t quite a circle, but it almost is.

I agree that a lot of D1 coaches are the types of highly driven people who often just aren’t nice to be around. I don’t fault corporate speakers and guests who cut off their hobnobbing at time. Those contracts how they make their money, the fees are spelled out, and I don’t fault an other professional for leaving when their job ends. It’s fine if they are having fun and want to meet and greet, it’s also fine if they call it once they deliver what they agreed to. Different story if you’re assholish at dinners in your honor or kids events or something.

Israel vs everyone war thread
Every convo with “anti-Zionist” crowd be like: “the atrocities never happen and when they do it’s one hundred percent justified.”

- UTRGV commits to add FCS football by 2024
Couldn’t really ask for more in an inaugural season. SLC on notice, this is a program that will compete. I’m hoping ACU knocks out Lamar. - UTRGV commits to add FCS football by 2024
