Troy has a Wal-Mart and Publix and multiple Dollar Generals.

You're undervaluing Publix. I really enjoyed shopping in the one by our hotel in Destin, very nice store.

Any store that's not HEB (if it's open) will be undervalued on this board.

Yeah, there's one outside Rosemary Beach, and for what you have in Florida, it's very comparable to HEB (and it's usually open).

If I were USC, I'd let KK interview for HC jobs but they're well within their rights to hold him.  They made a commitment to him and he signed a contract.  Part of that commitment is USC chose not to hire another OC.  How would everyone fell is the fired KK a moth after hiring him because a better OC came along?  Same difference.

 

I don't have a problem either.  Contracts are made to be broken, that is what the penalty is for.  No one is legally bound to employ or be an employee because of a contract, just pay the penalty.  Just as KK would expect to be paid if USC fired him.

Rooting for chaos.  I don't know if KK ever wielded ridiculous power in a player transfer from Tech, but if so the karma is a bitch.

We have two winning scenarios in the USC/KK situation.  Either he gets an NFL gig and pays his own buyout, and USC is scrambling to find another offensive coordinator.  Or some NFL teams really want to interview him and USC remains steadfast in blocking that process, and USC is left in 2019 with a bitter OC who's already demonstrated that he has eyes elsewhere.

Pubix is not in the same solar system as HEB.  Its ok, better than Winn Dixie, but that is a low bar.

Glad to know Morgantown has an Ulta.  That's the high bar.

The likelihood of at least one of these occurring would seem considerable.

He did hold power over a transfer in the Baker Mayfield case.  Mayfield wasn't even on scholarship and KK was trying to prevent him from transferring.  Karma is indeed a bitch.

I think he was being facetious.

Now the internet says it's a done deal.  Not sure I like hiring a 69 year old man to be our DC.  We need young talent.

I wonder if it's going to be another co-DC deal.

Clicking on the links above makes it look like Day is not sitting around and keeping Urbs' people in place.  Schiano may be SOL if temple doesn't want him.
 

Speaks volumes about Meyer's/Day's opinions on Grinch if they were willing to let him walk, while knowing they were canning Shiano.

There are reports that Grinch's recruiting efforts were much less than desired.  As in, he didn't even stay in touch with a 5* 2020 DB from Texas who has very high interest in Ohio State.

Thinking of guys that could call plays or be a better eye-in-the-sky than Beck. I don't have strong opinions of these guys. Have Fedora, Canada or Tee Martin landed new jobs yet? I guess Locksley official takes over for Maryland tomorrow, right?

Tee Martin wouldn't be an improvement over Beck.

Are you sure? He certainly had down year this year but he's an ace west coast recruiter. Not lobbying, I'm just looking for guys that fit the profile that haven't found new jobs yet.

He's a fantastic recruiter and poor playcaller. Beck 2.0 as an OC.

Obviously he would be great as a WRs coach / passing game coordinator.

What do you think of the other two? I know Canada has a reputation of being difficult, but he can probably be trusted from a scheme standpoint. Fedora seems well liked but with more of a track record than Beck.

I like Canada. He reminds me a lot of Harsin, actually. I'm not sure if Herman would look in his direction.

I don't know much about Fedora as an OC, honestly. I just remember people floating his name as a "safe" hire after Strong and being thoroughly unexcited.

What are the odds that Michigan guys are jumping ship because they think Harbaugh might be done in Ann Arbor?  If I was an assistant, regardless of whether my HC was going to be fired or not, I would almost always be looking to jump from a stale situation to one with a new HC (if I wasn't being promoted to HC at some school).  Day's shelf life is 4 years.  Who knows how long Harbaugh is going to be at UM?  As an assistant you might buy yourself an extra year or two of paychecks by making even a lateral move.

Could be that.  Or could be that he's insufferable to work for.

Da fuq are you talking about?

I'm guessing it's a joke about the fact that your school employed a serial wife-beater and covered it up which caused your former head coach to fake another health condition to get out of a challenging situation. But I'm just spitballing here.

Well don't forget they also employed (until today) a guy that couldn't get a head coaching job because he helped cover up kid rape.

Fedora is about as aggy as they come. I'm not sure he would ever coach at Texas but I guess anything could happen. 

Yeah his brother (A&M Consolidated HC) even has an A&M ankle tattoo.
