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

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I don't know where Morgan's approach lies. Last draft looked like a lot of analytics. XL was definitely not the choice for someone who eyeball watched a lot of tape. One season of production does not a 1st round pick make. He was also involved in the Shitterer regime so there's that to consider as well. This draft looks very promising, but we also have to consider how many god awful players we had so we may have gotten more return than normal because our cupboards were already so bare.  I think we cut bait with Sam and Baker way too early. The "competition" between them was a joke. Of course we also had General OOU so there was that too. It's like the FO has been drunk the entire time Tepper has owned the team just to tolerate him. I can't make heads or tails of 90% of what's been done other than someone has a bottle or 12 in their desk drawer and keeps turning it up every time he walks through the door.

      Should and shouldn't are hypothetical.

      That's partially why our front office ended up the way it did. Fitterer signed on to Tepper's heavily analytics based approach. Morgan prefers old school eyeball scouting. As far as "genes" our last few quarterbacks have had both the OMG and WTF genes. That's nothing new in Pantherland.bThe only difference was how far and how fast those throws went.
