Dude transfers from FCS to the SEC and tears his ACL on his second touch of his first game. He is already a 6th year super senior but sounds like he will apply for a medical redshirt and 7th year.

Seems a little harsh of that writer, but if you’re going to come to town as the new guy, put out a performance like that, and then very first thing make fun of the media, you’re not gonna win many friends, and are sure as hell not gonna last long.

One could also argue that Brian Kelly is a bad human being compared to other coaches, which ups the ante quite a bit.

Jeremy Hill raped a 14 year old girl and Miles still signed him. Then Hill committed and unprovoked assault on a guy outside a bar, which was caught on camera (sucker punches the dude, knocks him out, then high fives someone) and Miles let the PLAYERS vote on whether to let him back on the team. He also apparently spent a lot of time trying to get female students to gently caress him.

Orgeron covered up rape allegations against Guice and told the football team member whose girlfriend Guice raped while she was incapacitated at a party not to be upset because “everyone’s girlfriend sleeps with other people.”

I don’t think you can really say that Kelly is any more of a piece of poo poo than the guys that came before him, he just doesn’t hide it behind some bullshit folksy charm.

The funny thing is Kelly was brought in partially to clean up the image of the program after the title IX poo poo from the Miles and O years. If he somehow manages to not get popped for enabling sexual assault and having players regularly beating the poo poo out of people outside of Tigerland bars he will be a marked improvement from the ADs perspective, no matter how much of a smarmy dickhead he is. Provided, of course, that he wins football games.

different kinds of bad from a respectability perspective

dj durkin keeps getting work despite much more directly and recently being responsible for the death of someone he was directly entrusted to protect; if you can still be hired after that, one falling scissor lift and “protecting your guys 😤😤😤” is minor in comparison

he should’ve been fired 12 years ago but cream and bastards rise

I don’t think O or Miles deserve credit because the rape victims they ignored didn’t commit suicide. They’re all lovely people in pretty much the exact same ways, willing to do basically anything to win football games.

WE ARE SMART
The rise of NFL salaries is a big reason why there aren't as many Polynesian sumo wrestlers as there used to be. In the 80's and 90's, there were a lot of Polynesian people in the top ranks of sumo. But NFL salaries have exploded since the 90's while Sumo wresters' salaries have remained relatively stagnant, so now if you're an enormous 18-year-old Samoan guy who wants to pursue athletics, it makes a lot more sense to go into American football. Living in a somewhat less alien culture and not being subject to the hardships of being a low-ranked guy in a sumo stable are other pluses.

Also, in a way that I guess is kinda similar to the old NCAA/NFL divide, in sumo, you don't actually get paid a salary until you're in like the top 10% of the ranks, until then you just get a living stipend.

Yeah, as of last year, players are allowed to make money off of their name, image, and likeness. Between that and transfer rules being loosened up, it's reshaped the game a lot.

I love that the NIL/transfer stuff seems to be hitting the assholes the hardest. They no longer have mountains of leverage over the students and the students are just straight-up walking away.

Anyway I assume that's why LSU is bad now and Clemson is no longer cream of the crop. No one burst my bubble.

Saw that Guy Morris died this week at age 71, after a 2016 Alzheimers diagnosis. He played 15 years in the NFL, but as a coach his legacy is probably being on the receiving end of this play as Kentucky's coach...

...and breaking an 18 year non-winning streak in the Battle of the Brazos in the middle of an otherwise unsuccessful tenure as Baylor's coach...

...and the time that he applauded his players stealing all the student newspapers on campus as the coach of Texas A&M Commerce.

I think my favorite part of the transfer portal is all the “Hey I remember that guy” that we get with QBs now in places where they seemingly make no sense:

Spencer Rattler at South Carolina!
Bo Nix at Oregon!

It’s really good in situations like Peyton Ramsey transfers to northwestern because he got beaten out by Michael Penix then Penix transfers to Washington, or whatever the hell happened with Daniels and Slovis at USC.

Tell me this is worse than me having to sit through three goddamned years of the Steve Bellasari experience. Would Georgia Tech have had to start Reggie Ball for eight years under the current system?

I had completely forgotten that Bo was at Oregon now so when the game started I did have to do a double take a laugh a little.

Regarding Penix he was committed to Tennessee at one point then Pruitt hired Tyson Helton and then told Penix to beat it so that they could bring in JT Shrout instead. "who?" you say?

Well he's the QB at Colorado now
