Nick Saban to Urban Meyer: “Told ya…”

'Think' is the key word. Kliff Kingsbury. To quote Rex Ryan, 'He had Pat Mahomes at Texas Tech, the best player and QB in the NFL, and won 5 games'. Scheme guy, Kingsbury. But all Ryan jokes aside, most NFL owners are notoriosly bad at hiring coaches. This is why 6-8 or more are fired every...

Thats Tampa Bay's fault. Were there other NFL offers? Offer's to move from Rutgers to one of blueblood schools? That said, Schiano would be a improvement over Manny.

The headlines about Meyer and the Jags opening season loss are laughable. One site labeled the loss 'catastrophic'. Jesus H Christ

I am a big fan of Jamey Chadwell. My only concern would be the staff. Would he bring his guys from CC, or only some key guys and hire the rest? I think a staff without any major college experience (sorry to CC fans) is a legitimate question. I also don't think it a deal breaker either. As you...

For all the talk of recruiting class blue-chip averages, Miami has WRs that can't consistency catch, TEs that can't consistently catch or block, an OL that can't consistently block, LBs that can't tackle, and DBs that can't cover. Did I miss anything? Garcia and TVD haven't played so I can't add...

Butch in Year 3 is a poor comparison. Miami was suffering from severe roster reductions from sanctions that has nothing to do with him. The Dabo-Diaz comparision could do on and on. Dabo is established, won 2 NCs vs Saban, and has a 141–34 record. He was never a coordiator except when interim...

I don't get the idea Kiffin is some high-end caliber HC. He was went 6-6 his one year at Tennessee, was then fired as USC, and while he was successful at FAU, it's FAU. He went 3-3 Year 1 at Ole Miss (yes, COVID year, okay), and 2-0 this season against weak competition (Louisiville, Austin...

Dabo went 6-7 in Year 3, but 9-5 the year before. Also, 5 of the Year 3 regular season loses were by 10 points or less. So Dabo’s argument could have been “We’re this close“. I agree though, some may feel spending $5.5M/yr on a HC makes no sense if the ROI isn’t there. Spend $4M/yr, be...

They only care when embarrassed. Golden was only fired after losing 58-0 on national TV. Had he lost 45-20 he’d have kept his job, maybe another season. He needed to hit rock bottom. Manny hasn’t, not yet. He’d need a bad, bad loss or a 4/5 win season this year. The BOT, on average, is fine...

Yes. Why walk away from what he’s building, and bank full of money?

Mario had a former Cane DE recruit, who switched to TE, switch back to DE during the OSU game. DJ Johnson had the sack at the end of the game.

Most important change is AD, along with financial support. I understand your perspective, I’m just not a believer in guru coaches with magic playbooks. I’ve come around on Mario because of recruiting and bringing toughness back to Miami. He’s a trenches guy, but like his latest mentor adapted...

100%. But, to be fair, Day and Riley were OCs of those Ferraris. In the end OU made the right move, gently pushing Stoops out. And same for OSU as Meyer was planning his latest health scare. I think his last four losses at OSU were all ***-whippings, by Clemson (31-0, CFP), OU (31-16 at home)...

Uh…thread derail….

Brady wouldn‘t let that happen. :cool:

2003? Those players have nearly adult children.

100%. If he’s interested and willing to change, offer him $6.5M/yr, the proper assistants budget, and make Oregon match. If they do, and he stays in Eugene, at least there was an attempt. Force the discussion.

Yes, but not quite as much after beating #3 OSU on the road in Week 2, and after having won two ACC titles. Of course, there are those who would criticize anything less than a NC. And can Fresno State beat UCLA? If so, do we say the FS Bulldogs are legitimate, or just that Chip Kelly still sucks?
