Good question. I guess it's because Notre Dame is another cash cow. It's all about money.
That's very vague, but I guess you can't print the whole contract.
You have to make them paid employees. For one thing, they already are employees, according to the NLRB. For another thing, the only way to curb free agency is with contracts.
The 2025 recruiting cycle is an anomaly, with LSU out-recruiting both Alabama and Georgia so far. I won't say it's unprecedented, but it's very rare.
I expect LSU to win that game. It's later in the season that I'm worried about. USC is not much of a barometer.
I always thought the Coke bottle was a paid advertisement between Coca-Cola and Alabama and had nothing to do with Saban, who never touched it.
I think a lot of us could see it coming. All those plans he was making in Florida, then saying the 2023 team was his favorite. Any Bama fans pushing back on it can be forgiven. They just didn't want it to happen.
I give him credit for accepting the challenge. Several jobs in college football are pressure cookers, but Alabama is a pressure cooker on its own level.
I feel for the kid. Just because of his name and recruiting ranking, everything he does is seen as a statement of some kind, when all he's doing is minding his own business.
The BCS and CFP (until now) have tried to be fair and treat conferences equally. I agree that goes against nature, but they've tried to do it fairly. This is the SEC and B1G telling the other conferences to settle for less. But I'm not crying about it. LSU is included.
They can dictate whatever terms they want. It's quickly becoming the SEC and B1G, then everyone else. Whether it's fair or not. Personally, I don't think it's fair, although it would be surprising to find more than two teams from the ACC or Big 12 that are worthy opponents in a playoff. What would be "fair" is giving each of them equal shares. Failing that, invite the best of the lesser conferences to join one of the super conferences. They've already done that to a great extent, but there are other viable candidates that are not yet included. I suppose it will eventually work out so that FSU and Clemson, and maybe a few others, are included. The question will be where to draw the line.
How many hours of pregame bullsh1t? How much time spent on whatshername the singer?
It was a stunning improvement, comparable to Burrow's improvement from 2018 to 2019 and maybe even more dramatic. With Burrow, it was a change in the offense that enabled him to do what he did. With Daniels, it was Daniels.
So Kanell is half right. Structure is needed, and it will make coaching much less hectic. It probably will take an NFL-like model, with contracts, salary caps, and a new set of transfer rules. Lawyers can work out the details.
I'm not much of a traditionalist, but I think Vandy has a place at the table simply because they are a founding member. Someone has to finish last.
True, but it's also a reflection of the program's recruiting base. There are HS kids in Georgia that want to play for Georgia, regardless of who the coach is. And that's true in every state. But the difference is it's slim pickings in Mississippi. I'm sure some good statistician could come up with a formula for ranking coaches, with several factors thrown into a computer program. I think these lists are, at best, anyone's guess.
True, and I don't know how Kiffin would do at Georgia, but I suspect it would be better than he's done at Ole Miss. The point is that these lists are very subjective. It's like, let's rank the coaches by how many games they win, and let's ignore the talent level on their teams.
The problem I have with these rankings is that they don't take into account the rosters the coaches have to work with. Take Kiffin, for example, and compare the recruiting base at Ole Miss to that at Georgia. Who's to say that if Kiffin was coaching at Georgia, he wouldn't have national championships to show for it? I'm pretty sure his record against ranked teams would be better than it is at Ole Miss. And O'Gara would rank him higher on this list because of it. Such a farce.
Funny stuff. Texas might be more entertaining than SEC Shorts. The two of them together?
Should be there already. Maybe they're waiting until it's official, but there's no reason to wait.
Their schedule includes five SEC teams that finished 2023 ranked ahead of them. It depends on the ups and downs of Oklahoma and the teams on their schedule, but if those teams are still better than them, Oklahoma could be looking at 7-5.
Good for him if he takes it. I guess that would make Sloan the lone OC for LSU.
