OFFICIAL 2018 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD

[nako xl]

Fun fact Nick Saban is winless in his coaching career vs 9 win or more Auburn teams...Tigers are 9-2 heading into Saturday's Iron Bowl.

Nick Saban only has one undefeated season in his entire career as a head coach on any level.

History and current performance tells us Alabama is going to lose 1 of the next 3 games.

It don’t matter anyway because South Carolina is gonna beat Clemson then they’ll win the ACC

Then Auburn will beat Bama and lose to UGA in the SEC title game who just lost to GA Tech

All the while Oklahoma loses to TCU/ISU

And Notre Dame ends it’s football program on their off week

This is the equivalent of Wade Phillips taking the cowboys out for ice cream after being sorry as hell

Should Auburn lose to Alabama Saturday, there is growing buzz within the profession that Gus might “reset his clock” by taking the Arkansas job. Arkansas closes out their season Friday vs Missouri, following which it is widely expected the University will let Bret Bielema go.

The logic among coaches we’ve spoken states that Gus would be to give himself a fresh 5-year deal with a total contract value likely in the $30 million range (and quite possibly larger)… and that’s before incentives. The Arkansas fan base is more tame than Auburn’s, there is no 365-day-a-year comparison with Alabama, they would be welcoming him back to a state where he has had great success, and he would have a voice in choosing Jeff Long’s replacement as athletics director.

Many in the profession view this is a no-brainer move for him.

We’re told that Auburn is doing some diligence, preparing for the possibility of Malzahn’s departure, and multiple sources in the profession have relayed that Auburn seems to kicking the tires on Bobby Petrino as a backup plan.

Would Bobby Petrino be willing to make a move after his guy, Tom Jurich just got shown the door? Do we really have to answer that question?

For those wondering, Tom Jurich being let go had the effect of reducing Bobby’s buyout from $8.5 million to $4.25 million. Healthy; but not insurmountable for an SEC heavyweight.

UCLA hasn't met with or even spoken to Chip Kelly yet.

bigmike23 would you take Jedd Fisch as option B or you want them all gone?

fisch is not a bad coach at all.but its way more better options out there to hire as a first time HC

Sounds like no one knows what the hell is going on at Tennessee basically.

 

[newbs24]

Michigans color scheme is not good for shoes... For me at least

that was my take away as well.

I'd lol if Schiano worms his way into a top job.

It can work, but for most of them you just can’t make the primary colors of the shoe the maize & blue, has to be white w/ the other colors as accents

 

[newbs24]

True but I dont think Michigan has ever worn anything but maize or black cleats

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

The cleats are fire imo but the off field shoes just don’t translate the same way

The one you linked about the LSU gig a month or so back was pretty interesting, too.

Those mother ****ers have known since Auburn kicked their teeth in they were toast.

The AD basically said 8-4 was going to get you fired last summer. You already knew what was coming.

But Feldman has always been a spin master mouthpiece for Sumlin, so that article isn't surprising.

 

[T0INE]

Agreed.

The various Jordans in their colorways don't look good at all.

Everyone knew he was on the hot seat and no one is arguing that he shouldn't have been fired; regardless, that's a really crappy way to treat your employees. The coaching community is small and they notice the way ADs and school administrators treat their coaching staffs. If you think this doesn't reflects poorly on TAMU, you're delusional.

 

[casper90403]

Chip's going to take that UCLA job.

Just came to me.

 

[witnesskb24]

Did he really tell them both he needs a few weeks to decide? Get the **** over yourself chip

Get outta here with that nonsense.

A news article and reporters speculating a staff will be fired reflects poorly on A&M? "Texas A&M Plans to Fire Kevin Sumlin after LSU Game" EVERYBODY KNEW THAT ALREADY. It's been common knowledge since basically the UCLA game. Sumlin's personally been looking for a soft landing space for months now.

Scott Woodward said in July that another 8-4 season wasn't good enough. 1-11 against LSU and Bama isn't good enough. Not winning an SEC West home game over three seasons isn't good enough.

Is the athletic department supposed to come out right now and say no decision has been made? Should they have told Sumlin and staff already they were dead men walking?

It literally couldn't be more irrelevant. This **** shouldn't be a surprise and for them to whine in the media about being mistreated or misled is hysterical. Like... This **** is almost exactly why Sumlin and his staff are a group of losers. They're tone deaf and blame everything around them for their inability to succeed.

Think it's a few days. Basically the end of the regular season.

Oh that ain't bad then. He has to wait till after Saturday so he gets paid from some NFL deal anyway right?

Well why not just fire him now and save themselves the national embarrassment in case A&M does beat LSU?
