Unless BYU flips on the Big 12 to join the Pac 12 South, Riley should have USC in the title game almost every year.
Utah will probably step back when Whittingham retires
UCLA - lololol
Colorado and Arizona are ass
ASU is in some hot water

Definitely. I expect a lot of USC vs Oregon over the next 5-10 years.

This sounds like when my dad bitches about how much money pro athletes make. I wouldn't give a fuck how much money the coach makes, as long as my team is successful. It's not my money.

I agree fully with the last part. As I’m a dad now of dad age, I do find it ridiculous and insane the money being thrown around at a game. It’s particularly bad in college where this money is going to overrated suits while players are still nowhere near able to collect their value to this money making venture, when it’s their labor creating 9o% of the product. I say that knowing full well that a market regime would obliterate my alma mater’s ability to compete. It’s still wrong on so many levels.

Good thing Nick Sabans grow on trees!

And Brian Kelly is getting $15M/year? Holy fuck. Would I rather have him at Texas instead of Sark? Yes. Would I like to have Kelly a 3X Sark's salary? Absolutely not. I'd pay Saban that money, maybe Urban, but nobody else.

You don’t have any money. You broke as shit.

I should have been a football coach. I mean, I'd be shit, but an assistant wide receiver coach analyst at Utah State has to be pulling in a cool $700K at this rate, right?
 
 

The strength and conditioning coach at Iowa was making over 600K as of 2017.

Special teams assistant coordinators make more than FCS, D2 and D3 head coaches. It’s absolutely ridiculous


Best part is you can bail anytime to make more money elsewhere.

Kelly keeping true to form.

Coward Brian Kelly Leaves Cincinnati

I will begin this post by saying that I am first and foremost, an Ohio State fan.  However, I like to think of myself as a rational, clear-thinking Buckeye.  The success that the University of Cincinnati has experienced the last two years has not made me jealous.  Actually, I couldn't be happier for them and their football program.  I rooted for them to win every week and really hoped they would get a shot at playing in the BCS Championship game.

Brian Kelly has led the Bearcats to back-to-back Big East Championships.  Last year, an 11-2 regular season landed them in the Orange Bowl where they were beaten by Virginia Tech.  This season, the Bearcats posted a perfect 12-0 regular season and are set to take on the Florida Gators in the Sugar Bowl.  It has been a dream season for the players, students, fans and city of Cincinnati.

Until last night.

Kelly has left Cincinnati to become the next football coach at Notre Dame.  Is Notre Dame really his dream job?  Did he just follow the money?  I don't know and neither do you.  We both do know that we would do the same thing.  I would just do it differently.

He informed the players that he was leaving last night at what was supposed to be the team's postseason banquet.  He entered the Westin hotel in downtown Cincinnati surrounded by police officers and would not comment to the media.  So, the man who is supposed to be a leader for these young men sneaks in and out of the building with a police escort while the kids are forced to answer questions from reporters.

Pathetic.

I respect every player on that football team.  They are certainly more of a man than their former coach.  The whole situation was handled poorly by Kelly.  Last night, he proved to be a complete coward.

Every member of the UC football team is facing the biggest challenge of their football career.  They are going to be facing a great team on a national stage and looking to show the country they are a championship caliber team.  They are looking to further drive home the point that Ohio State is not the only football program in Ohio.

And the man who is supposed to lead them bolts for another coaching job...

Kelly will head to South Bend with expectations and blank check.  If he can meet the high expectations of the once proud Irish football program, he will make more money than anyone could possibly imagine.  The Bearcats are left standing at the altar.

If a player decides to transfer to another school, he must sit out a year.  He is penalized for jumping ship when his coach is permitted to do it whenever he wants.

Bulldroppings.

UC athletic director Mike Thomas announced that offensive coordinator Jeff Quinn will coach the team in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day.

I can't keep up with all this.  Who the fuck leaves ND for LSU?  But I will say that you are seeing who is serious about winning football games and who is not.

I derive a certain amount of Schadenfreude at both Mobilehoma and the Neutered-dohmers being relegated to Stepping Stones on the same day, and also from their unhappiness as they embrace The Horror!  Lulz.

I can’t get enough of this shit, and he hasn’t even done a PC yet and said something stupid like “I like boodane.” Also, there is going to be some big substitute teacher energy when he rolls into recruits homes trying to pronounce some southern Louisiana names.

I don't buy for one fucking second that Riley was seriously considering LSU.  I don't know what's going on in Baton Rouge but they have lost the plot. 

 

Did you see Riley's USC contract?  Which part came from Riley saying "LSU's offer is really tempting...?" - the buying his 2 houses in Norman over asking price or the $6m housing stipend for LA, lol 

He used those fucking corn-dog smelling rubes to sweeten his USC contract

I'm reading on Twitter that Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly have the same agent. If true, it means LSU football's next decade will be defined by one agent's ability to swindle them.

i agree.  and what the fuck does NFL reporter Michael Lombardi know about the inner workings of college football hirings?  nothing.  nada.  zip.  he got this straight from the agent who, as noted above, reps Lincoln and Kelly, and who is spinning his side of the story.

If it was all about money, then he made the right decision. Everything else looks like a downgrade. 

 

On what planet is LSU a step down from Notre Dame? Their admin handcuffs that program with their academic requirements.  LSU is easily a top 5 program in all of CFB when it comes being the top dog that automatically locks down top recruits from a talent rich state, fan support, administration committed to winning, etc. Notre Dame has the history and national appeal but LSU is in a much better spot to win NCs.

100% this. He was never going to LSU, especially after the rumors of him being upset at OU's decision to join the SEC -- unless he thought LSU was a better spot to be in the SEC than OU, which is fun to think about. I think he'd settled on USC and basically played one off the other, knowing full well he was SoCal bound at the end of the day.

Let me take this moment to correct my earlier post about Kelly getting $15M/year at LSU. Glad to see it's actually less than that. It will be interesting to see how he does at LSU when he doesn't have some of the same constraints he has at ND. Did he play coach boring football because he couldn't get the athletes he needed into school or is that his makeup as a HC. I'll be rooting against him because it will be tough to see him crush it there and then learn we never kicked the tires last December.

I mean a downgrade in his ability to win a championship. Yes I know LSU won nattys with Les Miles and Ed Orgeron, but I think their luck runs out with this hire. 

LSU went from thinking Orgeron would be a lifer as HC after 2019 title to firing him 20 months later. If Kelly doesn't get results right away, it will get ugly (especially with his personality).

Kelly is a good coach. This is a good hire by LSU. It's a lateral move at best, arguably a move up with ND having limitations based on its independence and academics, and apparently the salary is a huge increase. Culture fit seems odd, but on paper there is no reason to believe this is anything other than a big time hire. The money is absurd though, especially for a school and state that are broke as fuck.

schools have truly sold their souls for football.

on some level, the University of Chicago had it right.

So you are fine with UT being irrelevant in football and follow the path of Cal despite not being in the same level when it comes to undergraduate academic rankings. We should accept who we are - closer to UGA academically and embrace the opportunity to not be hamstrung by academic requirements and build a machine like Bama and UGA by any athletes that meet the minimum required standards.

“Brian did not come to me with some opportunity to match the offer,” Swarbrick said. “We talked (late Monday night), he indicated he was resigning to take another position. He thanked me for the opportunity and for my friendship. I wished him all the best.”

Swarbrick drove home the point that Kelly had not asked him for anything prior to Kelly's abrupt departure, just 48 hours after Notre Dame wrapped up an 11-1 regular season and sat poised on the cusp of a potential College Football Playoff berth.

Rather, Swarbrick said that Kelly neither asked for facilities improvements nor any additional salary for Kelly's Notre Dame deal, which sources on campus and in college football told FootballScoop paid Kelly between $7-7.5 million annually. The Irish, as a private, Catholic institution, do not have to make public their coaches' contracts.

So all the talk about Kelly "doubling" or "tripling" his salary at LSU was bullshit, as I expected. Clear pay raise, but didn't even try to stay at ND. There are reports his people reached out to Florida last week.

IT mentioned him last year for our opening as well. Our failed search last year is looking worse with each passing hire.
