I don't think that one would happen, even if they did. He just doesn't want to be at Texas.

Lane Kiffin if he doesn't sh*t the bed again at a Blue Blood, will succeed at LSU. That will be a home run hire, depending on what he does defensively.

Sexton has way too much power, needs to be humbled a bit, imo.

Bobby Petrino incoming, lol.

Fair enough lol.

My uneducated opinion is that the focus should be quality OL players, mostly interior and a #1 RB. Wisner has his moments but isn't consistently involved and is typically not a difference maker. So for me, something like this should be the focus: 3-4 IOL 1 RB 1 NT 1-2 LB 1 CB 1 S 1 K 1 P After all that, then look for other stuff. Right now, I don't think Marsh is a massive upgrade over what we have. If you give these guys a proper off-season to work with Arch, unlike this previous one, I think that makes a world of difference. We also need to decide what we want to do schematically and stick with it.

That doesn't really seem like an upgrade over James Franklin though, imo. What exactly has Sitake done that makes him better than Franklin?

I agree, it really would.

Looks like Oregon OC - Will Stein is the current favourite for the Kentucky job. Didn't realize he was a Kentucky native.

Now that you mention it, I don't understand it either. Think he's done pretty well there, but unless he has ties to Penn State or he's from around that region, then it would be a weird hire.

Oh no way? That's an interesting one.

Yeah I've been seeing it, too. Kinda crazy if that is true. Maybe Gerry was onto something.

Yeah he gone.

He might, be interesting to see if anyone comes after him or Flood. Not sure if either have any HC interest?

Can't edit my post, but I meant hire*

He should, that would be a good fire for Golding.

I think he missed his chance, when he was dominating at UTSA. Doesn't seem like he's been associated with any of these jobs. He might be stuck in G5 purgatory.

Not sure they will hold onto Cleveland, he definitely seems to be trending toward UNC. At least that is what a lot of people who know more than I do seem to think.

I agree with you, just spitballing is all. There definitely needs to be some self reflection and adjustments in the off-season though, agreed.

Petrino is a really good play caller. I think Sark should kick the tires on him, but as you said, I don't think he will either.

They very well could, like Wilson for example. He is huge in getting kids to stay in Louisiana.

I was just reading about t hat situation, damn crazy. The off-season is going to be insane with the portal opening up and guys getting 30 day windows when their coaches leave, etc. Most of the hires aren't like years past with big names floating around everywhere. Kiffin to LSU will be dangerous but I have a feeling he should've stayed at Ole Miss, he's proven time and time again that he can't handle big expectations. Haven't heard about Penn State in ages, what are they even doing? Lol. Looks like Sumarall is now the Florida focus, not sure the fanbase is going to be happy with another G5 HC. Tulane made him an offer to stay, but I'd think he'd take the Florida job. Arky is after the Bama DC and Memphis HC. Golesh was their original target but it looks like Auburn is going to snag him. Going to be so much fun in the off-season.

Having though about it, I kind of agree. At first I really wanted these games but If losing them doesn't give you any wiggle room for games in the business section of your season than cancel them. Why bother playing them just so the NCAA can have big marquee games to market to the big networks. I'd rather be 10-2 than 9-3 and have ourselves a spot. Because that's what it comes down to, imo. If we still had the Florida and Georgia losses, they wouldn't be holding them against us. So I now agree with the sentiment, as much as I like the big game match ups, you lose more than you benefit.

This isn't the first time someone has mentioned CDC being the issue, can you explain that to me? Because I think overall athletics, he's done a fantastic job.

What bowl do you guys think we'll get? More importantly who is sitting out?
