  1. The ND players love Freeman and their recruiting has seen an uptick since he arrived last year. Either they've found a great young HC to lead them for a while or they fire him after 3-4 years. In this chaotic landscape, it's an interesting hire and I kinda like it.
  2. how do you do, fellow country folk
  3. We are failing these kids. For shame. I wish there was a hell for every politician and gun nut that wants to do nothing about this.
  4. He'll get better talent at LSU, no question. But his opponents will be better and more athletic as well.
  5. “Brian did not come to me with some opportunity to match the offer,” Swarbrick said. “We talked (late Monday night), he indicated he was resigning to take another position. He thanked me for the opportunity and for my friendship. I wished him all the best.” Swarbrick drove home the point that Kelly had not asked him for anything prior to Kelly's abrupt departure, just 48 hours after Notre Dame wrapped up an 11-1 regular season and sat poised on the cusp of a potential College Football Playoff berth. Rather, Swarbrick said that Kelly neither asked for facilities improvements nor any additional salary for Kelly's Notre Dame deal, which sources on campus and in college football told FootballScoop paid Kelly between $7-7.5 million annually. The Irish, as a private, Catholic institution, do not have to make public their coaches' contracts. https://footballscoop.com/news/notre-dame-lsu-marcus-freeman-tommy-rees-brian-kelly-search So all the talk about Kelly "doubling" or "tripling" his salary at LSU was bullshit, as I expected. Clear pay raise, but didn't even try to stay at ND. There are reports his people reached out to Florida last week.
  6. I mean a downgrade in his ability to win a championship. Yes I know LSU won nattys with Les Miles and Ed Orgeron, but I think their luck runs out with this hire. LSU went from thinking Orgeron would be a lifer as HC after 2019 title to firing him 20 months later. If Kelly doesn't get results right away, it will get ugly (especially with his personality).
  7. did they hire a middle schooler to photoshop this stuff?
  8. I'm reading on Twitter that Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly have the same agent. If true, it means LSU football's next decade will be defined by one agent's ability to swindle them.
  9. I don't buy for one fucking second that Riley was seriously considering LSU. I don't know what's going on in Baton Rouge but they have lost the plot.
  10. I don't know. But I don't find anything he's done at ND to be particularly impressive.
  11. This is gonna be a spectacular failure. We are a fucking mess right now, but I'm glad LSU mortgaged their next decade on this overrated asshole.
  12. If it was all about money, then he made the right decision. Everything else looks like a downgrade.
  13. I think this is a bad move by Kelly and a bad fit overall for LSU.
  14. Oak bomb/luden's cherry cough drop. I love it for a special occasions but won't drink more than one in a night.
  15. Why are these guys hitting the transfer portal so quickly? I'm not complaining, but it doesn't make much sense. Are they not interested to see who OU hires?
  16. Agree with all that. But what makes this an interesting situation is the next OU coach is not coming into an ideal situation. You're replacing a coach who is averaging 11 wins a season with multiple trips to the playoffs in a 5 year span. SEC probably starts in 2023. Losing 3-4 games a year is a seriously possibility. Managing the fanbase's expectations will be tough. It's also looks like OU was completely blindsided here, which surprises me a little bit. There have been NFL rumors with Riley for a couple of years. I hate OU but respect their athletic department. I think they'll make a smart hire, but let's see. If they hire someone like Leach or Kiffin that is extremely risky.
  17. I know there's no "good" way for him to take the USC job, but this is The Godfather baptism scene level shit from Lincoln Riley.
  18. This was all about timing and USC benefitted from 1. Texas and OU's move to the SEC and 2. The Pac-12 being weak and ripe for the taking
  19. It's a savvy move by Riley. What competition do you have long term in the Pac-12? Oregon? Most of these West Coast schools don't care enough about football. He can turn around SC in a year or two and immediately enter the playoff discussion.
