Urban Meyer addresses ‘reasonable’ punishment for Jim Harbaugh, Michigan
mic0808, the NFL has made it clear that they will honor whatever sanctions the NCAA hangs on Harbaugh.
Right - his current contract averages about $9,000,000 per year. Doubtful he'd move for a $1,000,000 bump. More likely use TAMU's offer to pry another million or so out of Ole Miss.
I "LOLed" at road trip.
Spot on. NIL and the portal are roughly equivalent to NFL free agency. The biggest difference is NCAA teams don't have a salary cap on the players.
If he fits the bill (likely), I can see Kelly at LSU offering this guy NIL. We just lost a good ILB this week and now have a need.
I'm thinking it's much more likely to be 7-4 or 8-3, since we have, ya' know, 11 bowls. ;-)
Word.
I have a 1 word coment for UNLV:
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
CovingtonDawg spot on. Everyone seems to forget 2013, when Bama got hammered by OU in the Sugar Bowl and then 2014, lost to OSU in the playoffs. What happened next? Won 2 of the next 3 Nattys.
Sure, NIL and the TP have changed the face of CFB. In the last 15 years, when have we seen St. Nick NOT adapt to changes in the game? I don't recall any, butI'm old and my memory isn't A+ any longer.

That's how we roll over Riley coached teams.
Freeze has already intimated in a not too subtle way that he is interested. He would likely take it even knowing he'll have to contend with booster meddling. I gives him an avenue out of SEC jail and a stepping stone to other P-5s if he gets tired of meddlesome $$$ boys.
True, but the idiot that gave him a 4 year extension last year for beating Bama is. Had that not been done, the buyout would be around $45,000,000. Not chump change, but still easier to swallow than $85,000,000.
If TN wins out, there is one scenario where they'd likely get left out - if LSU wins out and beats UGA in the title match. Not likely, but they would take SEC champ LSU and a one loss UGA over TN and they would not take a third SEC team, even if it was merited.
Correct, and if you take it a step further, look at the receiving corps. Burreaux had Jefferson, Chase and Marshall who are now WR1 for their respective NFL teams. Two of them have already set franchise records and one an NFL record. The 3rd is limited by a lousy team with no QB. TN has one receiver that might be that level, but that's it.
If LSU wins the title match, they go to the CFP as SEC champ. That leaves UGA and TN as 1 loss teams for the committee to choose between (also either MI or OSU) for the 4th spot (assuming TCU wins out). If the choice comes down to UGA and TN, the committee will take UGA due to the heads up win over TN.
TX Reb, I think Lane is staying put too. As an LSU fan, I don't have a dog in this fight, but as a CFB fan, I do have thoughts:
1. I think Lane is smart enough to avoid Auburn like the plague.
2. If the TAMU job was open, it would be a far better option that Auburn.
3. I can definitely see him using Auburn's offer to leverage his current deal.
4. If his ultimate goal is to replace Saban when he retires, then he pretty much has to turn down Auburn. The same rule doesn't apply to the TAMU job.
Kiffen really is in the cat bird seat. With his new found maturity, he can be patient and stay where he is for a while, just to see how things play out. He is in an ideal job for him and he is young enough that he doesn't have to make any moves right now.
Classy post. I seriously think TN has a decent shot at replicating our magical 2019 season. That offense is killa' and the "D" may be just good enough to run the table.

Some fun facts for everyone on this thread:
Here's a rundown of the SEC’s regular & post-season dominance over the other P- 5 's:
Vs. the ACC: 65.2% winners overall, 60.5% over the last 10 years
Vs. the B1G: 59.6% overall, 64% over the last 10 years
Vs. the Big-12: 57.3% overall, 68.4% over the last 10 years
Vs. the PAC-12: 62.0%, overall, 71.4% over the last 10 years
FACT - SEC is 21-6 in championship / playoff games since 1992. No other conference comes close. ACC is 2nd with a 7-6 record.
FACT - SEC has won 14 of the last 19 NC's, 5 different winners, including a winning streak of 7 in a row. No other conference has done that in the last 75 years.
FACT - SEC has the only 2 teams that won 3 or more NC's since 2003 (Bama & LSU)
FACT - SEC won an NCAA record 9 bowl/playoff games in 2015 and had a winning record against ALL Power 5 conferences it played.
FACT - SEC had the most wins in bowl games every year for 7 years in a row.

Fisher actually used us to leverage aTm into that stupid contract. Hope they're enjoying it....
Dude, don't forget it was our current AD that hired Fisher in the first place. But then the current guy gave him that bullet proof extension after an 8-4 season, solely on the basis of beating Bama. Wow, just wow.
So thankful Woodward outbid Alleva and we didn't get this clown.
Dave, as an LSU fan, here's my take. I think TN played very close to as good as they can. And I won't lie, it was good to see. But Bama shot themselves in the foot several times. They didn't play anywhere close to as good as they can. If both teams win out and they play in the SECCG, I believe Bama will win. I think Saban will get the problem issues fixed between now and then.
And history is on my side. No team with Saban as HC has ever lost to the same team twice in one year. And that includes all the way back to Michigan State and LSU both.
WarEagle14-0, I hear Coach O is available.... ?
When this clown was going through his initial recruitment, LSU was supposedly in his top 3. I can't help but wonder if something like this disdain about Ole Miss was the reason he went elsewhere. It's not like LSU hadn't just produced a #1 pick NFL QB...
I guess for some folks, old, out of date stereotypes die hard, especially when they line up with your own personal biases.
I hear Art Briles is available....
Kelly was getting $7,000,000 per year at ND.
