Best college coach of last quarter century
Maybe ever, given how hard it is to maintain a dynasty these days. Has any coach since WWII had a better 10-year run?

I hope the changes we make shut down the state
Technology has killed the days when any Texas school could 'shut down the state', even if we were still winning. In the 80s you could sit in front of mama in the living room in Tyler and say "Do you want to watch your son play every home game 3 hours away or watch him play on TV once a year?". Those days are long, long gone - mama can watch Junior play every game no matter where it is. Even if we were going 12-0 every regular season we wouldn't be 'locking down' the top 20 recruits every year...

He is unquestionably in the HOF, on the basis of stats if nothing else. There’s no way a dude who goes over 15K rushing yards doesn’t make it in, though I bet he’s not a first-ballot guy....

The Spurs is a service frat.
Lulz the Spurs (like the Cowboys) are the Uber frat who do just enough ‘service’ work to keep that designation. They’re a service org like SAE is a service org...

andy reid is actually one of the few coaches in football that would make dak a good player.
Andy Reid is the best offensive game planner in the last 25 years in the NFL. He would make Tom fucking Brady better....

Name the last successful p5 coach that went from his successful program to another p5 program and was successful.
How often do ‘successful’ coaches ever end up leaving P5 teams for another P5 team, without an NFL stop or ‘retirement’ in between?
Not a huge sample size....

A team up by 9 with two minutes left will be even more conservative. I think you're completely wrong with your logic. They have absolutely no reason to pass the ball or take risks.

The problem is calling an 8 point game a “one possession” game when more than half the time a TD will still leave that team trailing.
I also disagree with the premise that late in the game a team up 9 is less conservative than a team up 8.
And for the record , down by 8 is by definition a ‘one score game’
Really? When you watch football you don’t see a team call plays differently late in the game up by one score vs two scores?

On the “down by 15” question....
Every breakdown of this I’ve ever seen assumes (from an analytics POV) that your odds of getting the back late in the game are equal. In other words, after you score the first TD (to cut it to 9 prior to the PAT) there seems to be the assumption that no matter what you do, your opponent’s offensive philosophy won’t change at all, whether you’re down by two scores or one score.
Does anyone actually believe this? If you’re under 2 minutes, you’re ahead by 8 with the ball, and your opponent has 3 timeouts, there are a shitload if coaches out there who are going to hand off 3 times in a row for the sole purpose of making you burn all of those timeouts. In effect, they’re giving up their chance to get a first down that would ice the game and giving you the ball with (say) 1:40 and no TOs.
Up by 9, however, there’s now a lot less risk for that same team to run the same offense that they ran the whole game, the same one that gave them the 15 point lead in the first place. They can push the ball downfield, run/pass, whatever - it was a 2-score game before your TD, and it’s still a 2-score game after your TD. And the flexibility that team has is the result of your decision to go for two after the first TD, and not make it a one-possession game.
I believe in analytics, and I’ve never bought into the ‘extend the game’ argument, but it’s always bothered me that all of the ‘data driven’ arguments for always going for 2 after the first TD assume that your odds of getting the ball back late are equal whether it’s a one- or two-possession game. From subjective observation, this isn’t the case...

Claiming 1994 is aggy-esque, and Dan Neil was a starter on an O-Line that paved the way for 16 yards rushing in a loss to Rice.....
