but but but the louisiana courts!!!!!!!!

They would’ve won had they gone to court but LSU and the governor ran into a curveball they didn’t see coming.   Even though he didn’t rep Kelly, super agent Jimmy Sexton stood up for his industry and told them they weren’t getting any of his clients, including Lane Kiffin, if they didn’t honor the contract.

He’s done a nice job but it’s ridiculous that he’s getting almost $11M.    Coaching salaries are out of control.

nice that a "non profit" institution can pay their employee $11 million per year.

I've gotten to where  my  dominant reaction when the topic of college football comes up is disgust. I'm beginning to tune out for my mental health.

[Deleterious]

Good job getting that bag before your QB leaves.

Today's game against Georgia was supposed to be a home game for Georgia Tech.  They sold it for $10 million.  It will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, so it will still be in Atlanta.

[Deleterious]

A&M in some trouble.  Texas up 10 at the start of the 4th.  

[GalagaGuy]

Looking at the SEC standings, Texas is the only team with a winning record in the conference that A&M played.

A thought I had about the byproduct of these larger football conferences. While the odds are probably on the outsides of the bell curve, there are going to be instances of this happening.  To date, Ohio State has played Washington on the road and a bunch of meh.  Granted, Penn State and Wisconsin are having gutter years, but their conference schedule has been soft.

On the flip side, I can’t remember who it was, but maybe it was Florida that was staring at 4 ranked opponents in a row in the middle of the season.

You lost to Florida.

 

[Deleterious]

Lost by 19 to Florida today.  They already announced Norvell is coming back next year.

Games where the band plays are so much better than games with some Spotify list played over the PA system.

Sounds like a good guy.  He is going to poach either way.

Ole Miss cant really believe that Lane Kiffin is going to be their coach next year for $9M.   I think he likes it there and would stay if they gave him a deal that pays him in the top 4 of coaches.  If not, they will absolutely be looking for a new coach next year.  

So much for that theory.  The guy is a just a mercenary for hire.  

[MichiganCardinal]

LSU is going to bankrupt their state through head coaching buyouts. When Kiffin goes 8-4 in 2029, how much will they have to pay him?

Remember when Academic athletics was where young men went to learn character?

Yeah - me neither.

he wasnt psycho enough for michigan state.  i wonder if they try to bring narduzzi back?

[Deleterious]

A G5 coach from Louisiana?

 

[Deleterious]

 

[Deleterious]

Know how bad Brian Kelly sucks?  He couldn't even hold onto the title of most hated LSU coach.  

[Motor City Sonics]

Lane Kiffin and LSU deserve each other.   I'll enjoy that implosion.  

College football is a cesspool.  

Who's going to coach Michigan State?     Who cares.

Jonathan Smith is going to UCLA.  

[Motor City Sonics]

There should be a freeze on Head Coaching interviews, offers and acceptance until after the bowl games are over.
