Considering the NCAA specifically went hard on USC for hiring someone out of Pete Carroll's coaching tree, keeping Briles' staff seems like a really bad idea.

The question is, what even are Georgia Tech's expectations? Two years ago he had a triple option team playing in the conference championship. This year they were dismal but still somehow won some games they shouldn't have. Is that as good or better than constantly going 7-8 wins and making a bowl, or do they fire him for being inconsistent?

It's a soul-searching question to me--would you rather be consistent but not contending like late Frank Beamer or potentially whip back and forth like, I dunno, Auburn

Yep! Alabama has barely paid him at all. Last year Alabama paid him 680k of the 3.4 million he earned as their OC.

This is demonstrably untrue. He only came back around the program after Patrick Towles was named the starter (he coached Towles in HS and they both played for Highlands) after basically ignoring or making lovely comments about the program under most of the Brooks and Joker Phillips years. He began a t-shirt company to sell UK fans t-shirts in an attempt to capitalize on increased fan support for football when he began commenting/doing pre-game/doing the 4th Quarter thing.

When Towels announced the day after the UL loss that he would be transferring, Lorenzen began making GBS threads on everything UK football and subsequently was removed from his 4th down tradition at Commonwealth Stadium.

There are lots of people sick of this poo poo, but Lorenzen is far from the most noteworthy or supportive fan of UK football.

Huh, guess I was confused because I only became aware of his actions again when he started showing up to their games and stuff.

Not that I'm inclined to trust Steve Patterson on anything, but here's his version of the entire thing:

e: I guess if you do a little reading between the lines, you could convince yourself that Saban was possibly open to Texas but Steve Patterson killed any chance of it happening by being an rear end in a top hat.

or you can read it as jimmy sexton doesn't even need you to actually be pursuing his clients to use you to get them a raise

He could definitely hold out for a P5 job, but personally I'd love to see if he could get something interesting going in Fresno. It's not a sleeping giant by any means, but I could see Kiffin turning it into a regular contender for the G5 New Years spot solely because of how abysmal the MWC West Division is outside SDSU and the amount of talent floating around California. Although he couldn't get it done at USC, so who knows.

he only had like half the regular scholarship players at USC

I mean, they weren't recruited on the assumption that Orgeron was going to be their coach, so I'm not sure why it would matter if it becomes obvious that he's not. And the season is effectively over anyway, all that's left to play for is a middling bowl game.

guess who is in charge of recruiting them right now

It's not a done deal, but LSU is prepared to make a hire on Saturday while Texas will still be waiting to play and decide if they want to fire their coach. That's a pretty serious advantage and obviously things have progressed pretty far if we're seeing these reports.

again though, these are the same reports that said strong was fired to begin with

it's a shame that the ole miss stuff is still such an albatross around Coach O's neck when both head stints he's had since then he's surpassed the conference wins he had there in a single year. He's clearly a different guy now. Much worse coaches have had more chances than people seem willing to give him.

I don't understand why everyone keeps acting like being handed a team full of talent midway through the season is the same as being in charge of a program year round.

Is O's friendship with Kiffin that tight that he'd leave Bama to be with O? I keep hearing that it is but what do I know.

O and Kiffin are really tight, and Kiffin would probably just be allowed to do whatever the gently caress he wanted instead of having Papa Sabes screaming at him to run the ball every 10 downs or so.

also Kiffin might get a higher salary than Orgeron if LSU thinks that's what it takes to get a functioning QB.

It's not actually all that butt hurt. I've had pretty inside access to the organization for a while since my family has been boosters and working in the athletics department. Herman's public persona is all about love and relationships but in reality he's very shady and has straight up lied to my face about things that didn't need to be lied about.

No one in the organization is really all that sorry to see him go. He brought us some wins and a little national relevance but we'd rather have an actual good character guy like Strong.

a lot of LSU fans call Les their best coach ever because he had the most wins or the highest percentage. It really doesn't take into context the state of the program when each took over but it's technically accurate and they don't want to talk about Saban. IMO it's... kinda sad
