Can we buy Les Miles? I'm willing to try a different SEC head coach.

He's a good recruiter who caught the sec east at a really good time but isn't actually a very good coach

He makes very puzzling decisions at the worst times. Like yesterday. It's 4th and not too long, deep in Michigan territory with tons of time, trailing by 28 points and you waste a time out to kick a field goal? In what way did that make any sense?

BOB beat top 15 teams when he had a garbage team that lost to Ohio. Come back to us BOB because clearly you are not meant for the NFL.

Purdue just has no name anymore in the realm of college football, the Tiller years are far far far gone.

Have they ever really had a name? All I remember is that time Kyle Orton fumbled so badly that it destroyed an entire program and that Drew Brees might have been quarterback there at some point. Anything before that is mysterious.

James Franklin most certainly saved his job last night

The rest of the schedule looks winnable, really, so...a 10-2 season even with a loss to Pitt and getting ground into a fine paste by Michigan bought him a lot of time.

Lose a nonsense loss to Rutgers or something and you'll piss away the Ohio State good vibes instantly.

Rutgers went to one bowl (in NEW JERSEY EVEN) in the 20th century, then took another 30 years to get a second one.

That's a sign of all time garbage team.

I haven't done the research, but I am willing to bet the worst SEC team (Vanderbilt? Mississippi State?) has a comparable record to Rutgers over the last 50 years.

Winning percentage is much better than Vandy and Kentucky and light years ahead of Indiana and Wake Forest, but their schedule before the 80s is often devoid of anyone that's not an FCS team nowadays.

For example, in 1963, they went 3-6 against Princeton, Harvard, Colgate, Lehigh, UPenn, Boston (not Boston College), Lafayette, Delaware, and Columbia. That's a pretty weak schedule even by back then standards

No, it's a sign that bowl expansion wasn't really a thing until relatively recently.

No, that's why Rutgers has been to nine bowls since 2000 and one since before.

Even Temple played two 20th century bowls. One of them was the Sugar Bowl in the 30s. Temple: literally better than Rutgers at bowl games.

Wake Forest, the worst power 5 team of all time in win/loss percentage, went to five in the 20th century.

Coach Jesus replied, “They do not need to come off the board. You give them something to string them along.”

“We have here only seven scholarships to offer,” His recruiting coordinator answered.

“Bring those markers here to me,” He said. And He erased and re-wrote names in columns on the whiteboard. Taking the seven scholarships and looking up to Heaven, He gave thanks and wrote the handwritten cards. Then He gave them to the assistant coaches, and the assistant coaches gave them to the recruits. They all texted and were satisfied, and the assistant coaches picked up twelve commits.

"Greyshirts, son," He proclaimed.

Ohio State and Alabama piling up successful and moderately successful head coaches to make one staff makes me uncomfortable.

Maybe they'll ban football because of concussions while the rest of us still have any sort of chance.

I mean technically his father managed a crisis for decades before anyone did anything about it so he might know a thing or two.

His dad, successful manager and charismatic leader, did.

Jay Paterno, unsuccessful assistant manager and guy that couldn't even get snaps on his dad's team, would probably leave a letter titled SECRET RAPE COVER-UP PLANS (DO NOT COPY) on the copier at the library.

South Carolina is "shoddy at best" when it comes to education.

I didn't find any list that put them higher than 43rd and a couple that ranked them 50th.
