So basically, Aggie is going to pay $40mil to get Jimbo out of Tallahassee, probably $7-8mil for his salary, and then at least another $6 mil to do the same for his assistants, all for the ability to keep losing to Bama.

No way. This is dumb. He'd be dumb to leave. FSU is a better job for sure. Goddamn.

Good to know UGA will be able to have success on third down against Florida for the foreseeable future.

Just his offense is completely on the other side of the speed spectrum vs anything Arkansas has run in like the last decade.

Would be interesting seeing his offense with SEC athletes though

Petrino had some pretty wide open offenses that did well. Something different from most of the conference seems like a good direction for Arkansas, and they’re relatively close to Texas where every high school is doing something Air Raidy

What if Tennessee had kind of a collective coaching system where all the players took votes on what plays to run, with different seniors being in charge of various other administrative and recruiting aspects of the program from month to month, as elected by the players. Just grab someone from the history department to sign off on poo poo for legal purposes. I'm talking a real camp nowhere/accepted type situation.

The workers also being the managers...like some type of union syndicate? :anarchists::ussr::bern101:

No, FSU would have to pay Jimbo $40M if they fired him. He can buy his contract out for about $7M.

So which of the coach firings was the biggest disappointment in y'all's opinion?

McElwain. He was supposed to be the brains behind Alabama's offense. He presided over one of the worst, most dysfunctional offenses I have ever seen, and Muschamp's talented defense steadily deteriorated under his watch.
Everything about his time as head coach reeked of a head-in-the-clouds, hands-off management style.

Bielema is up there, too. His philosophy of physical play never succeeded. In fact, his style of offense, which ought to wear teams down, actually led to an uncanny number of last-minute defeats. At least with Bert there was talk about him cashing in at Arkansas after an unlikely run by Wisconsin, and that maybe his star was fading even then.

Oh well that makes more sense re: him being able to take off. I still don't know why he'd leave but I guess if the divorce is really weighing on him then sure. A&M just doesn't seem like a great job for an already successful coach to take though, you've got Bama Auburn & LSU just in your division.

Apparently Norvell is an Arkansas native, poor guy.

As for bert's failures as a coach, as opposed to his other failures as a human being, this article breaks it down https://www.arkansasfight.com/2017/11/25/16698038/a-look-at-what-went-wrong-for-bret-bielema

tl:dr: what bert wanted to do didn't jive with what the state produced, and after 'cruitin went awry he was left with pieces that didn't fit in the puzzle. When you consider how bad the OL got when that was bert's pride and joy, it makes sense I guess.

Pruitt for all intents and purposes has put together terrifying defenses everywhere he goes. My understanding is that he makes Mullen look personable though, so who knows. Also, what in the hell will that offense look like without Mullen.

God dammit, you cant have him :(



He is amazing at player development, hard to know how good he was at play calling since Clay and his brother are heavily involved in it. Plus he is our best recruiter. He could be a very good hire if he brings in good coordinators.

But you can't have him

Mullen offered positions to Billy Gonzales as WR coach, John Hevesy OL, Todd Grantham DC.

Grantham is perhaps most famous for giving University of Florida kicker, Chas Henry, the "choke" sign as Henry lined up for the winning kick in the 2010 Florida-Georgia game.

It seems the trolling of fake flights back fired.

quote:

Multiple sources close to the situation indicated Currie’s fate is delicately hanging in the balance, and they also noted Chancellor Beverly Davenport’s chummy relationship with the Vols’ athletic director. Currie and Davenport, per sources on campus, had hands in both Tennessee’s decision last week to publicize false flight paths for a university jet and also Davenport’s decision to favorite a tweet regarding Jon Gruden while Currie, who met with Gruden and had discussions with him on the Vols’ job, also never shot down Gruden talk.

Good. They botched it from the word go. I figure the only way Currie saves his job is by hiring Tee, because at least Tee is a former Vol and a fan favorite. It might quiet down the majority calling for his head.

I know. They had fake flights going to Mullen and another going to Gruden, and they bring out Schiano in the end? I know Gruden was never an option, but you talk about misjudging your fanbase? You should did fake flights to Jim McElwain instead of getting their hopes up.

Good lord did Tennessee gently caress this up royally. The current state of the program is no surprise after watching this unfold.

After hearing about the divorce, Jimbo wanting a change of scenery makes sense, so might as well bilk the thirsty af ags for a pile of cash in the process. I kinda get wanting to move on from Sumlin, but doing so this year makes no sense with all the openings. They also need to find a way to reset expectations of the fan base because there's nothing in their history that should make them have the expectations they have

So they created a fever pitch for a coach they knew the more insane part of the fan base really wanted, intentionally stoked the fire and are surprised when it blew up in their faces.

How are these idiots employed.

His S&P+ rankings since 2010 are [38, 8, 14, 43] (at UGA), [12, 21, 19] (at UL), and [21] (at Miss State).

He's no Dan Quinn but he's sure as poo poo better than Shannon.
