    Anyone worrying about Kenny B should relax and let him get the gift of recruiting blue chip recruits. He'll have a ton of guys that will help him until he gets going. Bobby and Rod are both high on him. 

     

    Every job he's had he's jumped to bigger schools in like a year or two, minus his 3 years at WLU, a d then was so highly thought of that he landed the Dolphins gig and did extremely well. I bet this guy is the real deal, and it'll pay dividends. I trust Bobby's opinion more than anyone else in the industry (equal with Gerry). Let the recruits meet him, sell them that he can get them to the league with proof, has an NFL background, etc. If he can keep Brandon Brown, then he's earned it. 

    Negged for “Kenny B”

    Milwee is probably his own category. It's striking that Sark, Flood, Banks, and Choice are among the best coaches in the country at their position. Davis was the only defensive coach in that conversation. If I had to rank them it would be something like:

    1. Flood
    2. Choice
    3. Banks
    4. Kwiatkowski
    5. Jackson
    6. Joseph/Gideon

    Nansen and Baker are TBD and there's a pretty big gap between Jackson and Joseph/Gideon. I don't really know where to put Milwee.

    I’m curious about what Milwee’s career path looks like from here. If Sark continues to have success you’d think he’d eventually be a commodity as a protege, but I’ve never heard his name come up for any jobs. 

    He has a pretty great gig as is, Co-OC title and QB coach and he’s not exactly as young as I thought he was (38). His role doesn’t really give him the chance to prove himself as a P5 play caller or group of 5 head coach though. 

    If he has aspirations for that, maybe eventually he has to take a step down and take a group of five OC gig to get some experience outside of being Sark’s right hand man.

    Sidebar, is Helobious just a Futureman jr. Need to know if I should add him to block.

    Futureman is worthless because everything he posts is a bit that seems to be for the entertainment of only himself. 

    Helobious seems sincere in his posts, just with an incredible rate of being wrong almost 100% of the time. So I think there is some value in reading those posts to check yourself if your takes ever align.

    That's the thing though, there are content and conversation drivers, then there are drive-by quippers, there are news updaters, there are question askers, there are simple idiots, and then there are lurkers.

    The five, err, six posters you meet in heaven. 

    Mediocre joke brought to you by a drive by quipper

    Weird casting, bad pacing, poor storytelling, you name it. It’s the same set of problems that he had with Gangs of New York. 

    Funny, I tend to agree about Gangs of New York but see KOTFM completely differently. Generally thought the cast and performances were great (aside from whatever Brendon Fraser was doing) and the pacing wasn’t a problem. I felt the 3.5 hrs, but not in a bad way if that makes sense. 

    More so, I really push back that it was a poorly directed movie when there are a few sequences that were so well done and memorable that only a handful of people could have pulled them off. Specifically the ending, which was incredible. I don’t know if anyone else alive could have made it work.

    This is no joke. During the pandemic, my wife and I were going through my (still living) father-in-law’s vhs collection because she wanted to digitize old family movies. 

    I learned way more about his porn preferences that day than I expected.

  7. This may have been discussed, but just saw this in an article on the Athletic

    Spoiler

    Let’s say you’re a backup safety at Georgia or a backup receiver at Texas who thought about transferring during the prescribed window but decided you liked your chances at earning playing time. Then you see a new starter parachute in, and you know that, barring injury or something else unforeseen, you’re probably a backup again. Well, your deadline has passed. There is no 30-day window that kicks in for you.

    Yes, there is the post-spring transfer window. But if you’re at Georgia, Texas or any SEC school, that would be too late to transfer to another SEC school and be eligible this fall. Not a problem if you’re content going somewhere else. But unfortunate for those who would’ve preferred that

    I didn’t realize players transferring from an SEC school in the spring window aren’t eligible immediately if they move in-conference. Makes it even tougher for Alabama to offset these losses, they can’t really look at SEC players once the portal reopens for them

    Was thinking about this given the unfortunate news about Akina

    Who was the last corner that Texas sent the league who was able to actually stick in the league as a corner (special teams doesn’t count)?

    Damn, as a week to week starter it has been a while for CBs. Kris Boyd has stuck around but I don’t think he’s started much. Jamison played for the Panthers this year but mainly special teams I think. 

    For guys they actually played CB in the NFL at a high level, you may have to go all the way back to the Ced Griffin/Aaron Ross class? Holy shit

    I think any school in the SEC or Big 10 can afford to keep their coach if he’s happy. I think facilities and NIL are where the competitive advantages lie. 

    I mostly agree, but Washington is only getting about half of those Big10 payouts on the media deal for the next few years:

    Quote

    While all other Big Ten teams will earn about $60 million next year, Washington and Oregon will start at $30 million with an increase of $1 million until the expiration of the Big Ten’s seven-year television deal with Fox, CBS and NBC.

    I know a former National Champion coach who is recently unemployed and coached under Saban....

    Haha, I think CTJ was hinting at some funny Jimbo outcome that was in the works that he couldn’t say much about yet. And he does have Bama contacts….

    but there is just no fucking way Jimbo has the juice to get job at this point. That would be hilarious though
