Crazy if true.

I know the whole "football is self funded" argument, but it would be nice if the boosters put the same amount of money into the school itself as they do the football program.

LSU has to save face, they can't fire someone who's had a tenure as successful as Miles and then end up standing with their dick in their hand. If all they end up with after all this theater is like, Larry Fedora, they're going to look like a bunch of goddam retards.

Their AD is also trying to save his own job, so desperation has to be factored in. The candidate must have a wonderful track record of QBs and offensive output

Which can only mean Mike Leach with Charlie Strong as DC

It's amazing when I go back to Tally (like on Saturday to watch us whip those jorts-wearing Natural-Light-drinking cousin-loving swamp rats from Gainesville) how much has been done to improve and beautify the city. I graduated in '99 and the difference between now and then all across the place is night and day.

I kinda don't like a lot of the development. The new student housing apartments replacing campus circle are especially egregious to me, since I had a loooooooot of fun in those houses.

To make this somewhat on topic, I've seen no evidence that Jimbo is a total loving moron, and I think you'd have to be a total loving moron to jump from a top 5 job where you have a monstrously effective recruiting advantage and your team is a legit contender next year to a God-awful trash fire with everyone on the team graduating this year that also requires you to move to the most polluted state in the Union where you can and will lose your job for averaging 11 wins a year. That's just me, though!

Oh yeah you also have to beat the greatest coach in the history of the game who every single year fields one of the greatest teams in the history of the game to even get to sniff the playoff.

I think he stays, but I really have very little idea.

LSU's roster going forward is a lot less attractive than their current upperclassmen and our's is pretty great except for LBs.

LSU has zeroed in on Houston's Tom Herman as its next head coach and could have a deal in place as early as Saturday, sources told ESPN.com's Chris Low on Thursday night. Florida State's Jimbo Fisher was also near the top of LSU's wish list, but Fisher opted to stay put before talks with LSU ever got too far down the road. He's told some close to him that he thinks he could have some of his most talented teams at FSU over the next two years.

2013 is a historically good team so I dunno about that.

They fired Richt for consistently finishing with better records than Smart gave them so yeah, they're pissed. But not enough to put him on the hot seat. I doubt they'll fire him next year too unless next season is a complete collapse. If there's no improvement in 2018 I figure they'll be looking at other options, though.

How in the gently caress does a football coach become president of the university? Don't you normally have to work your way up through the academic world for that? This university was just like "hey dat dere guy was good at coaching football. less maik him precedent"?

Didn''t the president of Mizzou go there for like undergrad and then his (computer) work pushed him to Harvard for a MBA? Then he ruined a bunch of things for no reason other than being a corporate hack?

I mean, I know why be won - he had a plan to make the students more employable to shifting into computer science/engineering focus with input from tech companies and also he was a shill. But a hefty majority of a president's job is to beg for money.

During an interview with ESPN Radio Friday morning, former Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich admitted to talking to Chip Kelly about Kelly returning to Oregon as the school's next head coach.

"There were all those rumors out there and all that stuff, at that point, you're kind of thinking of every possible scenario," said Helfrich. "Obviously he had been contacted a couple times or something. It was just probably more selfishly than anything of when you start thinking of your assistants and all the support staff, all these people. If he were to come back here, some of those people would be safe."

Kelly coached the Ducks from 2009-12 and had a 46-7 record during his time as head coach. The Ducks went to four straight BCS Bowl Games and played for the 2010 National Championship game.

Helfrich replaced Kelly as head coach in 2013 and retained his entire coaching staff that remained in Eugene. Oregon assistant coaches Steve Greatwood, Gary Campbell, Tom Osborne, Don Pellum, and John Neal all served under Kelly during that time.

The five long-time assistants, along with Brady Hoke, Matt Lubick, and Ron Aikenwill have to wait until a new head coach is hired to find out if they'll be back with the Ducks.

Helfrich doesn't think Kelly will come to Eugene for multiple reasons.

"I don't know if he hated recruiting, dislike, a strong dislike," said Helfrich of Kelly's interest to recruit. "Chip has that challenge in his mind right now to make it right in the NFL....Reading between the lines, I think he wants to make it right, I think he wants to win at that level."

It's hard to separate how he is as a coach and how mercurial the team itself is. They get up for 'big' games, then suck poo poo for 'lesser' ones and lose or almost lose.

It was a combination of coaching attrition, promotion of Addazio to OC, inability to adapt offense to anyone other than Tebow, and poor QB recruiting/depth.
His QB recruiting was pretty amazing. It just didn't make sense for what he wanted his team to do, and died off from some indiscretions on their parts.
