Long excerpt about Arch's recruitment from an upcoming book about QBs: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/46022536/ruthless-recruitment-arch-manning

This part caught my eye. Fuck Nick Saban.  

NOBODY KNEW WHERE Arch Manning wanted to go to school. Some in the family preferred Georgia, where head coach Kirby Smart would coach him hard. Others, Alabama. The problem for Alabama was that Nick Saban -- whom the Crimson Tide assistants affectionally called "Daddy" -- was getting up there in years, and nobody knew how long he'd be there. Texas kept lingering. Competition was so fierce that everything was fair game. It was public record that Steve Sarkisian had battled alcoholism, a disease that nearly cost him his career. Sark had rebuilt his life and work in recovery. But during one Zoom call with Arch, Golding was discussing Alabama's schematics and culture, and then he went there.

"I love Sark," Golding said. "He's my best friend." He paused. "I hope he can stay sober."

After the Zoom ended, Stewart called Golding. "Pete, that's f---ed up!"

Golding knew. He had no choice.

"Daddy's on me."

lol pathetic

They went from being the biggest bagmen in town to pure desperation and scoundrel shit.

Thank God the NCAA had to stop pretending that players were armatures that couldn't get paid. Having cheating schools the only ones allowed to pay players was pure bullshit.

It seems like Arch's ears have really grown over the last 2 years. How will this impact the Ohio State game?

Strength and conditioning coaches have really taken it to the next level.

I remember feeling pretty confident going into that USC game. We had some great playmakers and they made some great plays...

yet there we were, a few minutes left with USC at our 35 or so and we needed to stop the repeat Nat'l Champs on 4th and 1. Fourth and fuckin' one! WTF.

The Horns manned up, made some critical plays in that final drive and pulled it out. Greatest game ever! and the underdog Horns won it with the world watching!

Those A1 assholes change a lot of shit after the fact it seems, so those of us who fail to proofread before hitting submit can get stung.

Surprised to see this...

Ole Miss defensive coordinator Pete Golding signed a 3-year contract extension back in February that will make him the highest-paid assistant in the SEC this season, according to documents obtained by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. 

Golding will earn $2.55 million for the 2025 campaign, a $300,000 raise from his 2024 salary. LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker previously held the mark of the SEC's highest-paid assistant after signing a 3-year deal with a flat $2.5 million salary in January 2024. 

Golding's base salary will bump to $2.6 million in 2026 and $2.7 million in 2027 before the contract expires on Jan. 31, 2028. He'll still have a ways to go to catch Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, who signed a 3-year contract this winter worth $3.1 million per year. In addition to Baker, Golding also leapfrogged Michigan's Wink Martindale and came in ahead of Ohio State's Matt Patricia for the second-highest paid assistant in college football. (Utah's Morgan Scalley will earn $2.6 million this year, $500,000 of which is a one-time retention bonus.)
