    I am more likely to give the Ole Miss boosters credit for giving the program life, but whatever. Freeze may be an adequate coach, but the NCAA sanctions cannot be ignored. And from an ethical standpoint, Liberty is one step above Bishop Sycamore. I fully expect the NCAA to vacate all of the...

    So, then, can we PUUUUUUHHHHLEEZE stop talking about Hugh Freeze? Not just directed towards you, but anyone on the Hugh Train?

    It's Miami Masochism to talk up guys who will never get the job. My Top 3 is Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney, and Urban Meyer...

    1. Fire Beta Blake today. 2. Back-channel communicate with Mario; convey salary, support staff, facilities, and AD commitment. 3. If Mario is interested, target the announcement for Thanksgiving weekend. 4. Fire Manny whenever the timing is right, go with an interim for the rest of the year.

    Truth. Manny just needs to be fired three or four more times, then succeed at a G5 school, and some of our porsters will call be dying to climb aboard the Manny Train.

    The Venn Diagram of "good fit" and "lazy hire" can overlap. It did with Shannon and Diaz. However, there is also a third circle for "quality coach". Richt fell into all three categories. Lots have good coaches have not required a rigorous hiring process.

    Very carefully. And not with Beta Blake James.

    I don't think you understand the word "norm". Yes, Shannon and Manny were "unproven cheap hires" by your definition, in the sense that they had not previously been head coaches. Whereas, Golden was "proven", in the sense that he had built up a bad program (Temple) and won games. Shannon was a...

    This is just another one of a litany of reductive circular non-sensical arguments. You cite an "it factor". Outside of Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney, and Urban Meyer, please cite any available "it factor" coach WHO HAS ALSO PROVED IT BY WINNING A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Because you are ****ting on...

    It's never going to be Freeze and it's never going to be Kiffin. At least stick to realistic candidates, not scratch-and-dent specials.
