Mario at Oregon won conference titles, though.

I get it but real nasty business

I’ll repeat, I don’t care how many lies they tell about it; it was not just a coincidence that Saban decide to retire the day that classes began at Alabama and players were locked for the semester and would have to burn a transfer.

He just did the same **** again by announcing the other day he was joining ESPN after pretending he’d still be involved with the football program.

We need to stop pretending these dudes aren’t all self interested snakes.

Some FSU fans still think it was decided a long time ago

Not worried

Discovery based on what? I think FSU fans are salty and behaving as such.

But I do also think Saban knew or suspected it’d be his last season some time ago, and whether he overtly communicated that to his superiors and people in the media, they had reason to suspect also.

I mean we talked about it in here before and during the season. We even talked about how his body language and behavior was different and how the last two teams were his sloppiest on the field execution wise, almost like he was easing up as the task master he was known to be. (I do still think his work with this years team may have been his best overall coaching job though.)

FSU fans have been delusional the last few months. They should FOIA Saban’s emails if they think they’ll find something instead of saying random legal words like they actually know what it means

63-3 should’ve silenced all that delusion

Gonna take some getting used to seeing Texas and Oklahoma amongst these traditional SEC names

LSU under seems like easy money.

I think UCLA should just hire an interim head coach for 2024, take their licks during the season and go from there.

Getting beat by 60 only made them more delusional.

Lincoln needs to step it up. This is actually been the most disappointing part about the Lincoln Riley tenure at USC so far. I think many of us assumed that he would dominate recruiting in California and it simply has a materialized so far.

UCLA coaching search note:

“In case you want another example of how badly UCLA's administration bungled all this Chip handling...

I've had it reaffirmed to me lately something I hinted at in the past: If UCLA had fired Chip at the time most head coaches were normally getting fired, Jonathan Smith would have likely taken the Bruins job over Michigan State as long as the money was anywhere near close. A big reason is this: Smith's family and his wife's family, including both sets of their kids' grandparents, are concentrated not just in LA, but specifically in the San Gabriel Valley (Rose Bowl) and west side (UCLA's campus). He would have loved to come back down here and lead that program close to home, and though Michigan State may have won a potential bidding war, the idea of being close to family would have weighed heavily on him. Instead, they hung on to Chip, and Smith's decision to move to East Lansing was made much, much easier.“

I'm actually not surprised just based off how USC's NIL doesn't pay high school kids like some of these other schools.

Our feeder school has also turned into a Oregon school as well.

Is what it is.
