  1. Not a lawyer but yes, that is what it means. He's getting that money no matter what.
  2. Do you have a link to where he said that? Insane if true.
  3. You're right, I missed that extension. And Oregon will probably offer him another raise given how they've done this year. So yeah ATM would have to offer that and pay his $20mm buyout.
  4. Is this legit / have you seen a reliable report on this? If so that's truly unacceptable as a state taxpayer.
  5. He's also an Oregon St alum so he'd maybe turn both down and stay put
  6. The SEC basically already does that. Look at the directional schools they all play this weekend.
  7. Interesting. Gundy is the lowest-paid on that list at $7.6mm. For comparison, Norvell is at $7.3mm, Lanning at $6.6mm plus a $20mm buyout, and both undoubtedly in line for raises from their current schools given how this year has gone. Daboer is below $5mm, but again, UW will up that a bunch so the number to beat is certainly much higher.
  8. Did Barron get hurt against TCU? Was wondering why Guilbeau was in so much at the end
  9. I didn't realize Lanning has a $20mm buyout. So to get him ATM would have to pay that and then likely give him a long-term salary of $9mm. All after paying Jimbo $76mm to go away (plus more for assistants). No university should be spending that much on a sport.
  10. I'm sure they'll make a run at Daboer and Lanning first. Daboer's current salary is <$5mm and Lanning is $6.6. Nothing crazy. But both will have big raises offered by their current school for sure. Just this past offseason, UW just made their OC one of the highest paid OCs in the country to keep him from going to A&M. Can't imagine they'll just sit back and let Daboer get bought away especially with that Big 10 money coming next year. Daboer is also a lifelong NW/Midwest guy. From a personal standpoint, no way he'd prefer A&M and it'd be a big career gamble too. Lanning doesn't really have Texas ties but may want back in the SEC. Cristobal just got poached from Oregon so it's possible (although he went home to Miami so that was more personal). Oregon isn't an easy place to recruit to either. I still think low odds he'd leave but more possible than Daboer.
  11. My uninformed take on the potential replacements: Kiffin - he's making $9mm/year at Ole Miss and has publicly been blasting A&M for the last two years. Can't see that happening. Daboer - has a low salary right now but you have to believe UW will match anything. Lifetime Midwest/Northwest guy so can't to see him leaving UW if the money is close to even. Lanning - Making $6.6mm right now with a raise likely incoming. Phil Knight gonna let him leave for an Adidas school? Doubtful. But maybe he wants back in the SEC. Elko - the most likely hire imo. Familiar with ATM, might hold the roster together. Chance for him to get paid and get a shot at a big program while he's hot. Kingsbury - lol Traylor - possible, probably not splashy enough for ATM though Norvell - making $8mm on a likely CFP team with a raise undoubtedly coming from FSU. Makes no sense for him to leave and face a rebuild. Klieman - No ties to Texas but otherwise could make sense. Supposedly not interested in Michigan St job for whatever reason, maybe he's happy in Kansas. A lot of this goes back to what has been discussed before - even for those crazies, A&M likely can't pay another Jimbo-level contract to the next coach while paying Jimbo's deal at the same time..
  12. Maybe more than that. The old line probably factored in a chance he'd play. If he had been ruled out for sure it may have been lower.
  13. Losing PK would suck. This has been the best defense we've had in ages and PK deserves the credit for that. That said, I'd be shocked if he left for USC. They won't outbid us (especially after taxes), he'd be inheriting a mess, and Lincoln Riley teams are a graveyard for DCs. He's also never even coached in California so it's not like he has major ties there. His "West Coast" background is really Idaho, Montana and Washington which is not SoCal. But yeah, makes sense USC would have him as a target. That doesn't mean much..
  14. What's the scoop on why MM is playing over Manning right now? I know they wanted Manning to redshirt but that's locked up at this point. Does Arch just need more time to adjust / learn the playbook?
  15. Fwiw which isn't much, NFL Mock Draft Database consensus mock currently has Quinn early 2nd round. I think in most drafts Quinn would be a clear first rounder. What may hurt him this year is that it's such a QB-rich draft. Caleb and Maye at the top, then you have a huge bucket of potential 1st / early 2nd guys including Mccarthy, Shedeur, Nix, Penix, and Quinn.
  16. Clock management in those last two minutes was hilariously bad by both teams. UW snaps the ball with 38 seconds on the play clock on their TD from the 20, giving what should've been way too much time for Oregon. But then Oregon decides to throw 3 yard passes in bounds and take their time in between plays, running about 45 seconds on their first three plays and ultimately running out of time to get closer with a TO in their pocket
  17. Anyone else notice #75 successfully blocking both Burke and Hill at the same time on this play??
  18. Gotta work on red zone, 2 min defense, and tackling this week. OU's YAC was the silent killer in that game
  19. Kinda genius. Get a bunch of excited drunk people to impulsively donate
  20. For real how many times are we going to extend drives running into punters before the coaches do something about it? I've never seen a team that does it so much since Sark/Banks got here. A lot of blocks too but jeez. Also just fair catch the damn kickoffs against good teams who have equal athletes.

    Surprised no one is talking about the tackling in this game. How many times did their QB, RB, or WRs look bottled up and then somehow pick up an extra chunk of yards? Meanwhile other than Brooks, our guys all went down pretty much as soon as a defender got to them.

    Other than the last 2 minutes I would pin this one too much on the gameplan/playcalling. This game was lost by turnovers, poor tackling, and penalties. I agree the 3rd and 9 and the prevent defense were atrociously dumb though
  23. Despite the bad first quarter, Quinn played well today. My only major knocks on him were the first INT and his pocket presence (taking sacks, running short of a first when he had more time to look for WRs).
