Jimbo makes about $750K a game for this mess. Pretty sure they could hire Kevin Sumlin back for that amount PER SEASON and get the same result. Just sayin'...

Wanna find out when Coach Saban is retiring? I'll tell you what Coach would probably say, "Ask Mrs. Terry."

First thing to do is get rid of Mark Emmert. That guy is an idiot. Much as I would hate to lose him, Sankey would be far better suited. But that would probably be a demotion for Sankey so I can't see him leaving the SEC, unless his love for college sports drives him to just to try and fix this mess. For the record, nothing wrong with NIL, nothing wrong with the transfer ability for the students, but right now it is basically the Wild, Wild West because Emmert either has no gonads or no brains. Probably both.

I'm intrigued by the PAC and Big 12 merging. I can see a dividing up of schools between east and west divisions. The ACC would cease to exist, obviously, joining the BIG10 and SEC in some form. Send Oklahoma to the West and keep Texas in the east. Absorb USF and UCF, Louisville, Memphis into the east. Utah, BYU, SMU, Houston into the west. Etc. I realize it is the NFL part 2, but unfortunately it seems to be going that way, so seize it and make it something people want to watch and keep the pageantry.

Leghumper, your desperation for attention is reaching new lows. Does Jawja even field a baseball or softball team that is recognizable as a group effirt?

I love Kyle Trask, but "forced Brady into retirement"? I'm gonna assume you meant that as a joke, right? Brady could probably play another five years and still make the playoffs each year. I think he saw the wheels about to start coming off for the Bucs. Hard to maintain any dominance in the NFL.

It's a Noles thing. Deion brought it to the Braves when he played there after graduating.

Four years is not just Florida. That is statistically the average for all big schools. Yes, there are outliers and nothing is set in stone, but Bama is the best example. Bryant left and they started chewing through coaches. Generally at a three year clip. Got a good one in Stallings and he lasted four years. Then more of the same until they got Saban. The truly great coaches with longevity are just not that common. Bowdens, Spurriers, and Sabans just don't show up that often. And, generally, the AD knows the answer after four years. Not to pick on UGA, but look at Richt: great coach, no titles. Dooley was the great one and got a Natty, then Goff six years, Donnan four years, kept Richt for 14 years, but nothing to show for it. Now Kirby is in year five but has been showing results and is the favorite to win it all. My point is, four years and gone isn't being impatient, it's just understanding that it is time to make a change. I truly liked Mullen, but atfer straight NY6 bowls and an SEC East title our recruiting hadn't gone up at all. That is a problem. So time to make a change. I don't know if Nap is "the guy", but I do know he will lay a much better recruiting and organizational foundation. He may be gone in four, but the next coach will have a great starting point.

This could very well ended up being the best game of the weekend. Looking forward to it. UK is scary if they can get all the miscues (turnovers) cleaned up.

have to agree about Florida being the most likely to get upset. Don't like it but UK always seems push us to the limit. I'm looking forward to the game. It's a great SEC slate no matter what. And as far as a place to live? Yes for Florida (FSU) but no to Tallahassee. That town is awful. I would probably choose 'Zona.

My dream scenario this year is Arkansas somehow gets to play Oklahoma in a bowl game after owning the state of Texas and beats their doors off. Welcome to the SEC!

Yes, UT still has a long way to go. A big part of that is finding a QB who can consistently throw accurate passes! But I do think they have finally found the right coach. Or at least the one who can get the program turned around and heading in the right direction. The energy just felt different Saturday. Pruitt was always a dumb choice, and Jones felt like a high school coach. I'm not saying Heupel is the guy, he has yet to prove himself with his own team that he assembled, but I think he is going to do a good job there.

I trust Sankey. I'm not a fan of t. u. joining at all. Loved TAMU joining, they seemed they are just a natural SEC fit. OU and Okie St. I would be fine with, but Texas just reeks of entitlement. But Sankey sees the writing on the wall and knows he has to get in front of this. Adding t. u. and OU will make the SEC the most powerful conference and only the BIG 10 will be close.

UTs problem is Phil Fulmer's ego. UT is still a top 15 scholl to coach at, IMO. But Fulmer is gonna do it his way or the highway, by God! I don't know what the answer is at UT, but I think they are stuck with Pruitt for another year.

Didn't they say they were only considering guys who were sitting HC's? Or at least HC experience? Didn't want to hire a coordinator was my impression. I think Napier would be a good choice, but would require some patience. My gut feeling is Freeze stays at Liberty. He's making good money, fans base loves him, and a lot less pressure. Plus there is no way of knowing if the SEC will even let him come back yet. SEC is very prickly with coaches who have serious NCAA infractions on their resume.

That's hilarious. I have a feeling we are going to be seeing that bottle for a long, long time. Go Gators!

Same goes with the great defensive minds. They have a relatively simple concept but they practice it over and over until it becomes second nature. Then you rely on the playmakers to read and adjust to what they see.

Great breakdown by Rodgers. But this is a basic concept of the truly great offenses, IMO. Someone mentioned Leach having 7-10 plays... I listened to that interview and Leach said it was all about timing and the QB knowing where his receiver was going to be when he released the ball. Know who preached this concept 20 years ago? Steve Spurrier. Danny Wuerffel consistently threw to empty patches of field knowing that was where his receivers would be when the ball got their.It was a basic concept. The difference is the greats have those screwy sandlot plays in their pocket.

Slow news cycle? (And agree with you)

Ahhh.... just watched the wide version of that play. Cover was playing press right up on the line and Grimes just knocked him on his butt. So that was just pick your receiver for Trask. Either would have been a walk in TD.

Anyone else notice all his face masks he never wore. Monday presser looks like a Gator one. During the game he started in LSU colors, one yellow, one purple. Then after the half he had switched to what I swear were UCF colors. He finished in a black one. Anyone else notice this? Is he sending subtle jabs to schools that never considered him?

That block allowed that play to happen as much as anything. Great job by Pierce.

Definitely. Trask saw the safety hedging up for the blitz and knew he would have Pitts in one on one. I'll have to watch again, but I'm not sure when the CB on Grimes shifted over when he realized Pitts was getting the ball. Regardless, great read by Trask.

You literally copy/pasted this from another thread you posted on here. And added nothing important in either. As far as Bennett being as good as Trask, check back in when he throws for 6 TDs in a game.

Unless the gubmint forbids it, I guarantee you there will be football this fall. Just too much money involved. Most colleges athletic departments are wholly funded by football revenue. College literally cannot afford to not have some sort of football season. Even if it 5 games that don't really count towards anything, the TV execs will pay to put it on because they know people will watch. I'm not sure what kind of season we will have or if we will even have a national champion or conference champions declared, but there will be some games played.

Ehh.... they aren't horrible, although I don't really like the white on white look. Certainly seen much worse.

If you're going to include couches, really gotta consider UT's Pat Summitt. She was absolutely dominant in her sport and taken from us way to soon. But Walker, Tebow, Barkley, and just to be a Gator homer and to throw another sport into this, Abby Wambach.

The Freak was amazing, but my favorite Gator on the defensive side has to be Wilbur Marshall. Man, that guy was scary. Absolute game changer.

Thank goodness someone included Hershel. This is coming from a die hard, bleed orange and blue, name my dogs after Gator players and coaches, Hershel is the most amazing college athlete I have ever seen. Tebow is a close second and Bo is in the discussion, but I have to go with Hershel.

Yeah, this list is seriously flawed. Pearl is better than every bball coach on this list except Calipari, and I would leave that open to debate. And Gus is better than Stoops, much as I like Stoops for what he has done. And, as much as I like Ogeron, LSU can't make this list because Wade is walking a real short plank right now. The hammer is coming and he will be out.
