Very good insight..totally slipped my mind. Speaking on that..whoever the ad is..should’ve have experience in conference realignment..because we need to move to the SEC imo

Exactly why I wanted Jurich for the next 5 years...
.... instead we have people pushing subpar candidates with no AD experience or mediocre results but with "as long as they are Canes" mantra. Such foolishness...

The next AD better be ready to jostle with some seasoned, big boy, cut throat ADs for conference spots.
It is not a place for the timid or novice. They will get their clocks cleaned.

Lincoln Riley gets hated on because people really don’t like offensive minded HC’s, everybody loves the hard nosed grind it out run the ball play stout defense tough guy coaches lol...

But Riley is 55-10 in 5 years as a HC with 4 Big XII titles & has never lost more than 2 games in a season.

Obviously, Oklahoma was the machine that Bob Stoops built, but he did a good job maintaining it at optimum level.

He also developed 3 Heisman finalists & 2 winners, has produced a ton of NFL players.

Yeah he’s 0-3 thus far in the CFP, but the fact he’s been to playoffs in his first 5 years as a HC speaks volumes about his upward trajectory.

Both Saban & Dabo didn’t win their first National title till their 8th year as HC’s.

I agree Riley is a stud..a lot of ppl probably have him top 5. I wouldn’t argue hard against him being top 5. I think Riley is a stud. I think Riley Elevated OU even more than just maintaining what stoops had..& We had ppl tryna put Lane in the same tier as him..that’s crazy to me.

But a 100mil..man I just feel like that’s a MJ/kobe/Bron last contract of a career type deal. Meaning you gotta have the hardware on your resume. I’m probably reading the coaching market wrong tho.

No, Saban created the model that Kirby follows, but it can’t be denied that Saban is a great coach.

If Kirby was coaching at another program & not UGA, he’d look like Sark.

He’s arguably the most overrated coach in CFB IMO, but everyone drools over him because UGA has bought a great team. They’re not really well coached, they’re just better than everyone they play because they have an overwhelming talent advantage.

He’s a rich man’s Will Muschamp IMO, he lucked into a great HC gig because of his history as a UGA player but I don’t think he could win at most other programs.

Not a popular opinon I know, but I’m sorry, I’m just not a believer in Kirby, he’s having a great season with UGA no doubt, but I don’t think he’s a great coach at all...

Lol yea u don’t **** with Kirby at all. I’ll say this about Kirby tho..he’s done what’s absolutely necessary to win. If that means being able to move easily in a room full of $harks and shaking hands to get **** rolling so be it. Still have to have the infrastructure in place and a man to oversee it..that’s Kirby. He wasn’t the only Saban underling who tried to duplicate what Saban did..but he’s been the only successful one to date

I know football is a *huge* revenue generator, and that goes especially for the blueblood programs (Texas, OK) and the SEC schools. But it's funny that LSU is constantly teetering on the edge of bankruptcy even despite that, and they have some of the most rabid fans I've ever encountered. Just by way of example, having known people who went to the school, there has been unrepaired water damage and mold in the library for years (to the point that most don't, or can't, even use it). But a couple of years ago they spent a bunch of money on a lazy river pool in the shape of "LSU" (this was a little bit before their big funding crisis...go figure). It's Louisiana so probably a good 50% of every dollar made or spent in that state goes to fund its pervasive and deep rooted graft, sure. But they're kind of the last school that should be dropping 10m/year on a football coach who's ceiling was getting absolutely wiped out in every big post-season game he got to.

Besides, those swamp people will buy tickets and travel anywhere in the country no matter what...what else do they have to do?

That’s winning football program who has its priorities in order
 
I’d love natty number 6..and a year and half later see a Lazy river in the shape of the U surrounding the Hecht..even at the expense of a molded study center or 2

Sure, but Alabama is good evidence that you can have both - they've won consistent nattys or been knocking at the door for the last 7 years, have jumped in the academic rankings, their acceptance rate has dropped like a lead brick, and they've raked in more cash than they know what to do with. Meanwhile, in that time, LSU has won..1? While also being a dog**** academic school teetering on the brink of bankruptcy?
