Tulane's Willie Fritz was the favorite in Georgia Tech's coaching search a month ago. Then the Jackets decided they didn't want to pay the man ... or anybody else. Good going, Yellow Jackets!

Generous spin is that they feel that money would be better spent making structural improvements to the program over the next few years and making it a more appealing destination.

My favorite fanbase meltdown over a head coach this year is of course, "Ryan Day is underachieving at Ohio State". My second favorite fanbase meltdown this season is Penn State fans spending most of their season begging Auburn to take James Franklin because he wouldn't start a true freshman QB

Also Willie Fritz is 62 years old. I get saving money and letting Brent Key (18 years younger) coach tryhard ball to 5 wins a year for a bit while they make the program a little less ridiculous.

USC had an unsustainably high turnover differential masking their defensive issues for most of the season. They seemed to always get a fumble or a pick in the RedZone to save an otherwise easy TD drive. This is what happens when the opponent doesn't make mistakes to capitalize on

I have a hard time conjuring really harsh pronouncements for a coach who makes you a reliable top 10 program basically the second he walks in the door. Even by the standards of OU or USC, the guy’s record speaks for itself.

Yeah if USC is averaging 10 wins a year, he’s fine for a long time here. The fan base here is essentially only sentient on the program when it grabs headlines. Lincoln will generate headlines, even if he always blows the big games. His recruiting class sucked this year though. Over half the class as 3*s at USC is lolworthy

KKKLIP ART posted:Day just called the absolute game of his life but I’d agree that as an offensive mind Riley is better. Day as as a play design and gameplanner for bowls is objectively a better coach than Lincoln. Every year they roll into a bowl with a gameplan that annihilates whatever is in front of it and essentially have a crapshoot with the defense. For week to week or in-season stuff, Riley is much better, and I think a lot of that is that his running game is a lot more sensible and unique. Riley’s counter and power stuff tends to work better in the current meta than the Zone heavy stuff that Day loves—largely off of Wilson’s influence on Ohio state and the fact that the zone read hasn’t been the same threat.

Riley is the best caller of plays within the context of a game. He is extremely good at taking what the defense is giving and finding whatever path he needs to take to the endzone. Day, for whatever reason, loves to just ramrod his plan through no matter the circumstance, which can be detrimental.

Spurrier is a goddamn wizard and even he never won a title until Bob Stoops came along to coach his defense. Riley's fine, and it's better to be good at offense IMO.

Sad we only have one game left this season, but this is definitely the most interested I've been in the title game in several years. I have nothing against Georgia or Georgia fans but it'd be pretty drat cool for TCU to win it. As far as I can tell they'd be the smallest school to win a natty since Notre Dame last did it in '88.

They say defense wins championships, but in today's college football, you can often get away with blowing teams away with offense. But every once in a while, the best offenses in the country run into a buzzsaw. USC lost twice to Utah. USC is still going to be a great team in the Big Ten as-is, and an expanded 12-team playoff means they still have a legit shot of getting in every year. However, I think they are going to find it much more difficult to maintain that consistency unless they upgrade their defensive schemes, because it's not as if the defense is bad for lack of talent.

"alright superstar basketball players, who have played at an elite level for your literal entire lives, get out there and put the ball in the basket" I dont know a ton about basketball strategies but from the scoring and how it looks to watch the game I dont even know what the coach does to change/influence the outcome of the games.

EmbryoSteve posted:real talk though, what does a NBA head coach even do. Lineup management, defensive scheming, different offensive emphases (though it’s all become very homogenized on that end of the floor). Mike Budenholzer teams used to dominate the regular season only to get run out of the playoffs early because he would not adjust. Having a superstar in Giannis obviously made the Bucks much better than his Hawks teams but they didn’t get to the finals until he learned how to adapt to playoff basketball. If it was just "the best players improvise" then LeBron would've had four titles in Miami and the Warriors would not have improved by 17 games after firing Mark Jackson.
