Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
USC_TMB replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
Man, this has gotten ridiculous regarding coaching salaries & NIL. Not only is there the gigantic buyout some schools have to deal with, now you have to factor in how firing the coach is going to affect playerās NIL decisions. Not that long ago coaches were given 3 years to turn around a program (depending on how in the toilet they were), once they got ātheir players signed. Now, itās a yearly roster change it seems. I would think the era of 10 year gazillion-dollar contracts is over. Take that money and buy some talent in the portal and roll the dice. /old man rant/ The current state of college football has really killed my interest in the sport I love. 18 year-old getting multi-million $ contracts without having played a snap going bust, players bailing on their team before the season ends to āprotect themselvesā, conferences that make zero sense, etc.. Personally, I may take a quick peek at the score, then do something that actually brings me enjoyment. \old man rant\ -
From what Iāve read, they were suspended from the team before being removed. I donāt see anything about being expelled. Edit: I see now that they are no longer enrolled at Ped St., whatever that means
-
Stinkingā Pedo State gonna Pedo State. I suppose the upside is they are moving into more age-appropriate sex crimes? Gotta love the headline āformer Penn State playersā¦ā, as if they had no connection to that festering program. They got kicked off because of the allegations. Fuck them
-
Considering USC just signed a partnership agreement with Cookies CBD/wellness/cannabis (shhhh) company, that hatch has been thoroughly breached. No NIL contracts yet, but hold on.

I realize Iām old and all that, but does anyone else cringe at the thought of a casino in Vegas (with a huuuge sportsbook) ponying up to pay a player, then covering the action on his replacement and the games?? Everyone knows the shady āno-showā jobs and bagmen were/are a thing forever, but this might just be the ultimate over-the-line scenario Iāve seen. Just my opinion, but damn. Just do away with the āamateurā label and pay the players.

Jumping in late, but even Stevie Wonder could see something like this happening. I donāt know, or care about this guy, or unlv, but my spidey-senses are calling BS. IF there was a written agreement/contract, then pursue legal remedies, donāt run to X and say Iām taking my ball and going elsewhere. Youād think Guy Fieri would toss some coin his way. When I was doing consulting/contract work during the Dot-Com boom, there were constant offers of āperks and stock optionsā that were as much vaporware as the business model. The rule was, and still is⦠GET THAT SHIT IN WRITING! If you jump on a verbal agreement, thatās on you if it goes south. His parents/advisors/agent did him no favors. Imma is correct that nobody is going to offer this guy unless every QB on the team goes missing. Particularly as a player who isnāt going to sniff the NFL⦠if he was an elite QB, maybe, but if I was a player Iād wonder what his commitment is.

I should have been clearer in my previous post (scrambling to get to a trade show), Kelly is an absolute piece of crap, zero argument there. He was fortunate to catch lightning in a bottle at Oregon, and had been on cruise control since. That being said, is it possible that he had an āI canāt do this shit anymoreā moment (happened to me). Especially since he obviously didnāt like recruiting, being an administrator, NIL issues, the stuff they PAY you multiple-$millions for. The timing IS crappy, but how many of us would walk away from a guaranteed $6 million without a landing place? Hell, they most likely would have cut him loose this season anyway.
-
That had more to do with the horrific state of the program more so than Kellyās coaching prowess
-
Wow, that writer comes off as a whiny bitch. I hate to see Kelly leave ucla for obvious reasons, but the guy realized he didnāt want to be a Head Coach anymore. Playing the āpoor assistants out of a jobā card is pretty disingenuous. Had he been fired, they would still be out of a job.
-
Kind of a strange move, HC to OC in the same conference without being fired, but it could be that the new landscape of college football led to this. He may not be cut out or doesnāt want to deal with NOL, transfer portal, etc.. Iām not shocked to see coaches that have been around for a while say later with this nonsense. Or the Bucknuts offered him a metric crap-ton of money for less work.
-
Holy crap⦠we all knew that the ncaaās demise, the forming of a Super Conference/āallianceā, and the reconfiguration of sports broadcasting was coming⦠at some point down line. The speed of all this happening is mind-boggling. Obviously all of this has been in the works for years, just waiting for the first domino to fall, but damn. This went from zero-to-100 like a rocket.
-
Well Iām sure nobody saw this coming. Hell, the BigSEC should just replace the ncaa with Surly posters, yāall have been way ahead of the process.

You hate to see itā¦

I just read an article which reports that California is considering banning tackle football for youths 12 and under. The bill is still in the debate stage, and a similar bill failed previously. If (and thatās a huge if) the bill passes, it would take effect in 2026. Does that open the door for banning high school football? Who knows, it is California. Californiaās recruiting prospects have fallen the past few years, and this wonāt help that. As it is, high schools are limited to 2 contact practices a week and no contact practices during the off season. If California players are considered āsoftā, lack of tackling practice is the reason. 20 years down the road, there may only be a handful of states which still allow contact football. How that impacts college football is unknown. Does it become strictly a ādevelopment leagueā for the NFL with a licensing deal for a few marquee schools? I wish I knew so I could lay money in Vegas.
