    Lane Kiffin was unqualified when he got the Raiders job, but that was right after he had been OC for USC when they were lighting up the scoreboard with Bush, Leinart, et al.   He hadn’t failed yet at that point.  I don’t understand how a failed college coach is even a candidate for an NFL head coaching job.  

    Just as one example, Holgorsen has just as good or probably even a better track record of putting up big offensive numbers in that system as a coordinator and head coach, a better record as head coach at a comparable school, and more experience, and he’s getting a job at UH.  What is so special about Kliff?

    He fine

  2. I could actually see a scenario where KK is a successful NFL coach - as mentioned, he doesn't have to recruit. Give him the roster to compete on D he can hand that side to a competent DC. He won't be at a talent disadvantage on offense.

    Taking over this Arizona squad is absolutely not that scenario. The Cardinals should know that, but they don't, and that's why they're the fucking Cardinals.

  3. Bummer for us but I think it's probably the right move for him.   Don't see him improving draft position drastically even with a huge season.  Go get paid!

    This.

    His loss will certainly be felt, especially with how front loaded the schedule is, but if there's anywhere we've stockpiled talented depth it's WR. Thanks and good luck to LJH, next man up.

  4. Also yeah three is too high. Hard to argue us over Ohio State. Controversial opinion - I'd honestly put UGA ahead for next year too. They return a lot and we are losing a number of key players from the Sugar Bowl win. I think you can make a really good argument for Texas at 5 though. Right there with OU and ND.

    yeah Texas is going to be in the Top 10. Everyone watched that game and knows Texas beat the complete dogshit (pun intended) out of #5 Georgia. 

    My guess is the Top 10 goes

    #1 Bama/Clemson winner

    #2 Bama/Clemson loser

    #3 Ohio State

    #4 Oklahoma

    #5 Notre Dame

    #6 Florida

    #7 LSU

    #8 Texas

    #9 Georgia

    #10 Washington State

     

    I would say 6, 7, and 8 are interchangeable.

     

    I think this is where it ends up. I could see a Michigan or Kentucky taking the 10 spot over Wazzu. Pac 12 is just trash and will be punished for it in the polls. 

  6. E-Rod, Gary Johnson, Andrew Beck, Kris Boyd, Calvin Anderson, Chris Nelson, Charles O, Tre Watson. In that order. The rest will be replaced with minimal issues and we'll consider the position upgraded by year's end.

    Boyd would be higher but the young guys have 3 games against pedestrian passing offenses before B12 play. Boyd was also not that great vs the best of the B12. Nelson would be higher but I was really impressed with Coburn in the Sugar Bowl and he seems like he has the drive to be really good. We will probably miss him quite a bit vs LSU though. The first three are really the ones I think we're still going to be missing in December. LJH obviously jumps near the top if he declares.

    They tell what round he might go in, but they don't tell him whether he can improve his draft stock with another year. He isn't gonna get faster or look better than he did this year. You don't teach natural ability.

    This is why I'd be surprised if he ultimately stays. Could he replicate his production from this year? Maybe, though he was ridiculously efficient from a statistical standpoint so there is a decent chance his numbers would be "worse" despite him being a better overall player. The lack of top end speed isn't gonna be solved by another year in college. I don't know that another year really does much for him from a raft standpoint. Selfishly I hope he stays, and I'm sure the chance to run it back for a B12 title with his teammates is hard to pass up, but from a strictly business perspective he should go.

    The Houston Texans

    Not a Texans fan but this is pretty fucking stupid given the Texans beat the Cowboys. Both teams won their divisions and will have ultimately unremarkable post-season exits. Because Dallas managed to not get beat at home and instead gets to let New Orleans or Los Angeles end their season one week later does not give a whole lot of room to talk, especially given Texans have scoreboard.

  9. Gut reaction is that 6 is a bit high but you look at what's behind that and all of a sudden it doesn't seem so unreasonable. And honestly you could make a pretty convincing argument Texas projects to be better than OU.

    I don't follow other schools rosters very closely so I don't want to speculate too much regarding most of them. Though I will say, Bama and Clemson basically deserve to hold #1 and #2 based on current performance and recruiting until proven otherwise. They're like the Warriors and Cavs of the past four years. Even when you think they look mortal, they find a way to be there in the end. From what I understand of Georgia after opposition research for the bowl game, despite losing some pro talent, they are very young this year. They have recruited well and are definitely a good team. I could certainly see them being right there.

    OU at 4 seems too high. I'm sure they'll be good, their recruiting has definitely picked up over the past few years, especially on offense. College football hasn't seen a team as talented as OU play the offensive style that they do and it shows when looking at their record over the past two years. But they lose nearly everyone of significance on offense and their recruiting class isn't bringing in any difference makers on D. They basically have to improve on that side of the ball but I don't think it'll be dramatic or anything.

    I feel like you could group the 3-12 pool pretty much together; any order is reasonable enough. I don't know what Washington has in the pipeline but they are one really good QB away from being in that group again. Browning never really progressed after his sophomore year. Seemed like his talent was just maxed out.

  10. This year's non-semi NY6 were the highest rated since the start of the CFP. The national championship will still have very strong TV ratings. College football has its issues but the title game ticket prices aren't symptoms of that. Northern California is far from South Carolina and Alabama and is one of the most expensive destinations in the country. It's pretty simple.

  11. “Us”? Lol whatever closet aggy. Never seen anyone associated with Texas ever say BTHO anyone. And I’ve been going to games since the late 80’s.
    "BTHO Opponent X" is sonetimes included in march grandioso, often for OU. I don't like copying aggy's thing but it's definitely there.

    Saban does this.  He did it against us in '09.  Colt goes out.  Bama gets a lead and then they sit on it.  If the game ever gets close again he opens it back up.

    The difference now is that his defense is getting visibly tired and OU is a lot more dynamic than Texas with GG. I fully expect Alabama to win this game but they really need to score here. Even a FG after holding the ball a few minutes into the fourth.
