UConn might just be looking for a pretext to kill football entirely, which isn't the worst idea.

Seems like this would be the perfect time to do it, rather than letting them hang around for a couple of years and maybe accidentally stumble into a bowl.

Thankfully the casino I was playing at had a bunch of games going directly behind the audience/dance floor. So at least it looked like I was engaged.

I haven't paid too much attention to UConn in basketball lately, but looking at their results back to 2012, it seems they've really started to suffer on that front since joining the AAC. They won the NCAA championship their first year in the AAC, then slumped from good to mediocre to bad. So it would make sense to kill football and go all in on getting back into the Big East. There are several teams that play only football in the CAA, so that still seems to be an option. But if you're a marginal school that can't afford to be competitive in both basketball and football, you might as well pick the sport you are better known for historically.

I watched the LSU game, and to me LSU never really looked in trouble. They weathered an initial adrenaline-fueled effort by Mississippi State. Once that had faded, it was pretty smooth sailing.

Washington isn't a part of the team for now for undisclosed reasons, supposedly not related to his court case.

Nice to know that distributing child pornography doesn't violate the "Standards that must be upheld", but something else does. Whatever, at least he won't be playing.

With Martinez likely still out, it's going to be a rough rest of the season.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
There is a QB controversy in Arizona now and I can't believe I'm coming down on the side of Tate but here we are. Gunnell looks like a better fit in Mazzone's offense for sure but the problem is the offense, not Tate. And by "looks a lot better" I'm not sure the goal should be to efficiently run an offense that nets Arizona like 12 points a game when they devote themselves fully to it.

That has more to do with UConn hiring a bad coach than the AAC, which has gotten way better since that first year. But UConn fans feel better about themselves with the AAC scapegoat.

There was nothing wrong with "we don't like football and we want to go back to our old rivals", they could have just gone with that.

Did Jimbo really leave that program in THAT bad of shape? Or is Taggart really that loving bad at his job?

Is footballscoop a reliable source at all?

I'm not saying they aren't necessarily, I'm just not familiar with them.

e: I think it's generally agreed that Jimbo left them in pretty bad shape. Maybe not bad enough shape to do what they've done, but it wasn't good.

I mean he's been bad but Jimbo sucked at the end and left him without an offensive line. Most of the problems they have right now were starting to show up in Jimbo's last season.

Both

Jimbo left the cupboard pretty bare, but hiring a coach off the strength of one good year at USF and a meh year at Oregon State was an obvious mistake. It was clear last year he was in over his head, but I thought he might settle down and be better this year.

On top of all this, Cristobal being legitimately good at Oregon in the meantime has warmed the cold chambers of my lifeless heart.

I was kind of worried about the Taggart hire being legit because he was seen to be an energetic recruiter and I thought he could probably stock the Seminoles with enough talent to make them a tough out no matter what.

I’m very glad to be wrong.

A "bare cupboard" at FSU should still be relatively strong. It's not like Jimbo was a poor recruiter.

FSU could still end the season with a winning record. Boise State, UVA, Clemson, and Wake Forest are good teams so it's at least not unconscionable to lose to them while rebuilding. But at some point he has to start winning and not look so dejected and lost in the post-game interviews.

I think the more pertinent question is: "Is Taggart the answer to what Jimbo left at Free Shoes University?"
And increasingly it looks like the answer is no.

Coach chat reminds me that Florida really hit a home run with Dan Mullen. I underestimated what he could produce. My idea was an (entertaining) 8-4 to 9-3 kind of team.
