I blame UK's lack of facilities. It's clearly NOT Calipari's coaching...at all.
I think the article is typical O'Gara fare... It's balanced, it looks at both sides of the argument while making salient points. He's the best writer on this site and honestly one of the best in the business.
I'll remind everyone that Bama fans were up in arms about Sarkisian being hired because of what he did with the Falcons. All he did was deliver one of the most dominant offensive performances in Bama history, develop a 3rd string qb into a Heisman trophy candidate (and become the starting qb for the Patriots), showcase Najee Harris as a Heisman Trophy candidate, showcase Devonta Smith to winning the Heisman and win a national championship. The reason Bama is looking for coordinators is that Saban gave these guys plenty of time to get their stuff together and they just couldn't get there. So he sent them on their way regardless of what the "official" story was. Saban knows what he's doing.
Hayes is a professional turd-stirring jock sniffer. I dont care if he's writing about Saban, Smart or even Drinkwitz, it always the same fuse lighting garbage. If he had to actually work for living he'd starve. Connor O'Gara doesn't write emotional garbage like this. Hayes is everything wrong with sports writers. O'Gara is everything right with the next generation. SDS, get this sleezy, jock-sniffer off this site! You want more circulation, invest in social media analytics not social weasels.
Google "Matt Hayes Jimbo Fisher". March of 2022 Hayes says Jimbo has established a recruiting monster at TAMU. In 2018 for Bleacher Report, he detailed the dumpster fire that Jimbo left for Wille Taggart. It's almost as if Hayes tries to find the most popular coach of the moment and jump on his coattails. Nahhhh....national sports writers wouldn't do something like that...would they?

Yeah that "A" on the jacket kinda makes difference...just sayin.
There is no one on this site that misses the target more than Matt Hayes. He is always all over the map. His articles are always "who am i sucking up to today." Really don't understand why he's here, SDS was doing great without him and I enjoyed the new unknown names doing the articles instead of the same old tired national retreads.
well that just sucks...Blackledge and McDonough are THE BEST announcers in CFB, despite all the ESPN PR for the Chris Fowler nonstop demo reel. Dude is STILL calling TDs when the runner is 10+ yds from the end zone.
Congratulations..your life is over After prison you’ll have a lifelong career as an overnight janitor at an obscure truck stop. Or politics.
who cares if its 50%, is that worth putting your family thru this pointless meat grinder? A mature man/husband/father would just say, "Y'know what, I'm not putting my family thru this for a few million bucks. I'm out." Pretty sure his stubborn ego, which seems to be what got him in this mess anyway, decided he was going to "Show 'em all"...and he didn't. Experience says, they want to push you out then get out on your terms not theirs, don't wait for them to fire you. I've seen this so many times. The hand writing is on the wall, but people stick it out and have to endure the humiliation of being fired.
I'm sorry, did anyone FORCE Harsin to STAY?? If they made it clear they don't want you, why on earth are you hanging around? Once they did what they did, it's on you that you're hanging around. All he had to do was get his agent to negotiate the buyout and move on. Then you'd have the media platform to burn the place down. Instead you hang around, your product on the field is a dumpster fire, your reputation is getting hammered and you put everyone on staff and on the field through turmoil...just to prove "they ain't running me off". If an employer makes it clear they don't want you, get the buyout, wipe your hands and be done.
Am I the only one who remembers UT had to go to Overtime with PITT?? PITT!! Y'all know Will Anderson is on the other side of the ball ready to eat right?? Which is more likely to happen... Something that has happened over and over again for a very long time... OR Something that has not happened for a very long time, happening for the first time? Anthony Richardson can barely hit the broad side of a barn, and FL nearly came back on UT. But hey, Hendon Hooker Hendon Hooker Hendon Hooker... ok We'll see.
Yeah....Finebaum predicted Jeremy Pruitt would be the guy not too long ago, sooooo....
if the SEC becomes dominated by TAMU & Georgia you will see it’s dominance quickly collapse. TAMU & GA have absolutely ZERO national appeal. Viewers would much rather see USC & MIAMI fight out nattys than TAMU & GA.
Can we PLEASE STOP with these idiotic, dumb-a uniform poses?? Son...you're nobody. You've done nothing. The only people who care who's in your top 5 are your family and the coaches. You're not special, you're just another football player. There were thousands before you and there will be thousands after you. Go do your homework.
Dude. If you're gonna make physical contact, get your money's worth. Dot that Eye! If not, then just walk away.
You would think it sounds like a good idea... Except for one problem ... When the NCAA comes to "investigate" your program, ANY college can tell them to go fornicate themselves with a wire brush. The NCAA has zero...ZERO... legal authority to do anything to any college. They do not posses any local, state or federal authority to force anyone to do anything, period. The NCAA exists only by the agreement of the college presidents. It shocks me to no end how any college athlete under "investigation" doesn't hire the absolute greediest, most vicious law firm in the nation and burn that bureaucracy to the ground. You think if the SEC wanted to pull away from the NCAA....which do you think would happen: 1) the other Power 5 conferences would rally around the NCAA ...OR 2) schools from the other Power 5 conferences would look at that bottomless pit of money and eyeballs and immediately file paperwork to join the SEC Think ESPN cares whether teams are "compliant" with the NCAA?? Before you answer, think about how often head coaches are asked by ESPN "hosts" the uncomfortable question about whether they buy players. The day will eventually come when the NCAA's doors are closed by the right lawsuit.
Howard has how many millions of dollars in the bank?? Seriously dude, use some of that money and go buy yourself some Pamprin. Unreal that the student athletes have to be the ones to get their coach to calm down. That fool needs to get his walking papers.
That's a pathetic, insecure weak little man right there. See a therapist about your mommy issues you infant.
I swear… NIL is legal. Yet they just feel compelled to lie and proclaim its not about the money. Ole Miss couldn't match USC’s check. Thats it.
Please… the check from USC cleared. NIL is legal but these guys still won’t admit the Benjamins is what gets them.
Well that's a nonsense argument. The only fact you've presented is he's been in the job 1 year. Let me help you. In his first year he's: -gone through 3 different coordinators, all essentially fired, not hired away -had 20 players leave through the transfer portal (not sure if that's the highest in the NCAA but i bet it's close) without refilling those positions -went 6-7 losing 5 in a row -has not unified the program, if anything made divisions deeper -po'ed the boosters - has only drawn interest in the program through the controversy swirling around his (in)ability to run the program but if 12 months is your only measuring stick...
Yeah they're gonna let him lose 5 in a row next season, fire him before the season ends and get a jump on the hunt for a new head coach. He's gonna have grad assistants at every coach/coordinator position before the season starts. He's been fired, he just doesn't know it yet.
Coin Flip: Alabama or Georgia everyone else is an honorable mention.
For real? You're a multi-millionaire! Seriously? $7MILLION a year is not doing it for ya?? You gotta try to be some low-level street dealer? People are stupid.
