Wow. This Vandy season might not be a fluke.

NIL!  Good for Vandy though, they have one hell of a coaching staff!  
 

Not football related but the ACC had their way with the SEC last night in CBB.  Cream of the crop rose to the top.  Some great games that come down to the wire.  Now the other schools need to keep the momentum going and put the ACC back on top where they belong.  Congrats to all the teams that won last night especially you Syracuse fans (if there are any)

I just don't have much sympathy for Ole Miss here. I mean, you had to know who you were hiring. Did you really expect Lane Kiffin to be there for 20 years? He's always looking for a better opportunity which, I mean hell, I get it. 

I do agree with Saban on this one though. The NCAA needs to create better guardrails on this stuff. You can't have coaches leaving to take other jobs and the transfer portal opening up while games are still being played.

I laughed out loud when Lane Kiffin said he just wanted to enjoy the win with the team, and wasn't able to comment on his future.  Basically saying duh I'm leaving but I'm not announcing the team yet.

Yep. Everyone knew the deal at that point.

I liked the analogy Saban made. Like imagine it's the NFL and the Bears are headed to the playoffs but the Giants call Ben Johnson up and they're like "So your buyout is $60M? Cool. Done deal." and now you have a playoff bound NFL team whose coach is leaving to go to a division rival with the playoffs right around the corner. That's pure chaos and that's why the NFL doesn't allow that to happen but that's exactly what's going on right now with Ole Miss and LSU with Lane Kiffin. The NCAA has to put in guardrails to stop that type of situation from being able to happen.

And meanwhile teams that are out of the hunt have players leaving in free agency before the season's over.

Saban was also one of the guys that advised him to leave.

I mean if the goal is to compete for national championships perennially there's really no debate where the better chance of that is between Ole Miss and LSU. LSU has three in the last 25 years while Ole Miss only had five winning seasons (and only one 10+ win season) since 2000 prior to Kiffin's arrival.

Well, I think there is a slight difference between, you should know Lane will move on from you to look out for himself….and you should of known if your school made the CFP with Lane he would ditch you before it started.   Hard to see that one coming.

but it really  highlights how college football is really meaningless and pointless.  I mean a coach makes the CFP and is like nope.  Not interested…..I need to go to LSU so I can get these kids to what? You certainly can’t sell the idea you are there to help them win a natty lol

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
