Probably Magic posted:Can't believe Tom Izzo has such heartfelt feelings about college football. Even though the Big Ten was very late to starting up again in 2020, it did feel like some sort of minor return to normalcy, even if the stadiums were empty and the teams weren't really trying all that hard. Sports as escapism in a time of national tragedy are still important.

He's one of the more progressive coaches on the issue. This probably doesn't help you having to agree with both the Michigan and Penn State coaches.

I go away for a few hours and come back to the offseason thread adding six pages, drat. Like "where were you when Nick Saban retired" moment. If it was 4 or 5 years ago, I might be worried James Franklin would be poached, but I don't think Franklin is attractive to the 5-ish top tier programs.

I'm taking the over because I think Bama is going to make their next coach the highest paid in college football by 20-25% and pull a big time name.

PostNouveau posted:People wising up. Impossible act to follow and all these candidates can get just as much money where they're at That makes sense for Oregon and Texas to be sure, but Kiffin? I don't think Ole Miss can match Bama. But also Kiffin has a good thing going with maybe the #2 team in the SEC next season and much lower pressure to win it all every year than Bama. I thought for sure Bama would get a homerun hire, but most of the homeruns are off the table already. We are slowly creeping toward the funny outcomes, like Dabo.

Unless DeBoer is a high school recruit that takes one team's sweatshirt off to reveal another team's T-shirt on signing day, there's no way he's going on local radio in Washington to announce he's taking the Alabama job.

I feel bad for Washington fans, but at the same time, Washington is on Penn State's schedule now, so oh well. A weakened Washington is better for Penn State's playoff prospects.

1. It's really weird to announce you've interviewed a candidate unless that candidate has accepted the job. The Chargers look stupid if he doesn't take it. 2. Man, that sucks for Arizona. They need to bring in some temporary retread coach like Lovie Smith just to try to stabilize things for a year or two. Manoueverable posted:Honestly, there's going to have to be a lot done to convince me this hiring process won't result in a complete and utter disaster. It does seem like a bad sign that the Arizona program was collapsing to some degree before Fisch even left, so I'm not sure that bodes well for Washington.

Personally, I think we need to move the signing period back to Feb. and do away with early enrollments. I know the high school education system in the US has changed a lot in the last 20 years with two semesters of 90 minute classes, but I don't like the trend in our society of these kids foregoing half of their senior years just to get a head start in spring practices in college when they should be enjoying the last few months of their pre-adult lives.

In theory an NCAA game could be a big NIL equalizer in that you can throw a little money at every player in college football to use their real name, finally. However, by my calculation, there are around 11,000 scholarship players in FBS.

Functionally, I don't think you could do just P4 because the season schedules simply wouldn't feel "right" without G5 and you'd be leaving a lot of money on the table by shutting out all the potential game buyers who want to play as Kent State or whatever.

Why do these NFL teams keep announcing they've interviewed Harbaugh? Two NFL teams have interviewed him, so at least one of them is guaranteed to be turned down. It's like announcing to the school you asked a girl to prom and she's neither said yes nor no.

How much pressure is DeBoer going to be under to deliver in year 1? Next year is looking like a rebuild with these roster departures and staff turnover. There hasn't been a rebuild year in Saban's entire tenure. Can the fanbase even handle 8-4 or 9-3?
