Somebody preemptively fired their HC, is going to find that there’s not enough big names to go around, will stumble into hiring Petrino on the cheap and be very happy they did it. Also, he’s very welcome to advise our offensive staff if he were to be so inclined.

Jimmy isn’t living forever, and the current model, like much about CFB, is broken. Coaches no longer require 5 years to get their guys into the program and develop them from HS players. That’s still a part of it, but now the nation is your oyster if you need to supplement, or in some cases completely flip, your roster and have access to blue blood funds. Someone is going to be smart enough to offer a premiere coach $12-14M a year with no buyout and only the guarantee to payout the remaining contract if fired along with guarantees for athlete payroll. The coach will still make generational money, and the AD won’t be hamstrung with huge payouts to former employees if it wants to move on. You can kill the golden goose, and someone’s going to figure out that there’s more money to throw at the program and players if the athletic department and donors aren’t tapped out paying absurd buyouts. $50M guaranteed over 4 years is still a very fine chunk of change, and athletic directors won’t be tempted to tack on silly 10 years contract extensions. The NFL has largely figured this out, and it’s developmental league will wrap their collective heads around it in short order too imoho.

I think big buyouts are going away, and there will be quite a few someone’s willing to deal with the wild expectations and fertile recruiting grounds at LSU for just $7-8M per year.

Looks like the offer to supply boiled crawfish in lieu of some of the cash buyout was rejected.

Blake, I missed you in that emergency room by a matter of maybe a few hours that night. Our situation wasn’t nearly as serious as yours, but I’m thankful that Colt and the family is doing well, and that his strong back can be put to use hauling your wife’s endless supply of Christmas totes out of storage and into the house. Hook’em

Yeah, he’s a pure man to man specialist.

It wasn’t prevent. It was lost as a goose Cover-Who? Filsame was not mentally in the stadium, and Williams is clearly not back physically. Hiring a man specialist to run our back end probably contributes to our abysmal feel for zone coverage, drops and spacing as well.

1013.2mb is considered standard for reference, and those hurricane hunters have some large brass ones. Manscaped and magnificent. No thank you.

The LSU dealer trying to pawn off Kelly to PSU and the Pimp Signal at the end…..solid.

“Night” is a rather broad term. As another poster mentioned the weather is not supposed to hit until well after the game is over. If you watch weather closely you’ll notice that prediction models almost invariably run early.

I’m not sure how juiced up the crowd will be. Basketball school supporting a poor football team in a smaller stadium. Somehow manage to get them down 10 points and I bet it’s a veritable mausoleum. Their basketball scrimmage against whoever on Friday night will likely have more atmosphere.

I don’t see sacrificing the Texas game to have a better season outcome as an option in Norman. That’s not how that school or fanbase is wired. It wouldn’t go over particularly well in Austin either.

Cignetti has more wins against top 5 opponents this year than Franklin did during his entire tenure at Penn State. Also, hiring Cignetti, 64 year old, is a very temporary solution to what ails the fans in Happy Valley, and they probably deserve what they get by bringing in a man who will be eligible for social security to run their program. My bet would be making a run at Elko.

He started a ginger at OG, and you just don’t come back from that kind of eval.

That and look for already developed SEC bodies searching for a new home on the OL. I don’t trust us to homegrow our OL at the moment.
