  1. I know he's rich, but does he have that much money?  I also can't say I know how much money it takes to buy and run an F1 team.

    Sure, it’s smart to departmentalize work so that one person is not responsible for too much. Still, how departments are organized, with who reports to whom, are important. 
     
    Texas and Georgia are following the Saban model, with scouting reporting to the HC. OU says they are following the NFL model, which typically has a GM overseeing relatively autonomous personnel and coaching staffs. However, to me, they look more like the Dallas Cowboys, where the GM hires coordinators and limits coaching inputs to personnel decisions. 

    The Cowboys comparison is solid.  They don't trust Venables when it comes to offense.  That's well earned, but when a coach is that incompetent on one side of the ball, it's never going to work out.  It doesn't sound like he has any intention of changing his approach to practice, so they're still going to have injury problems.

  3. They're gonna have to lengthen the pitch clock or come up with some kind of rule change.  It clear the current situation isn't tenable for starting pitchers.  It's not just happening to the Astros, though no one has it this bad.  Most human beings just can't throw as hard as they can at the current rate pitchers are expected to.

    It's funny that people act like they're doing something unique in recruiting a bunch of lowly rated "developmental" prospects. Isn't that what literally every program that can't recruit at a high level tries to do?

    It's the thing the good small programs do.  You know the type of program that we pay to blast by 40 points in the beginning of the season and then they go on to win their conference.

  5. Paredes could play 2nd or 1st and we would be back to having an elite infield defense that can also hit.  It's not my money.

     

    Edit: Correa's deal is front loaded and the last 2 years of it are 15 and 10 million.
