College Football 2015 Week Seven: Meet Texas, your 2015 National Champions
- Thread starter mre
- Start date
The man deserves better. Curious to see what USC and Florida do to honor him in the coming weeks.
This is all supposed to happen in the offseason! What are we going to talk about then!
Although.... this is already the offseason for me.
The new hires! None of these coaching positions will be filled until after the season is over (and maybe the NFL season as well).
Should probably do some big joint thing when they play.

You're basically kicking off a six or seven week job search if they quit now though. You bring in the coach before their previous' teams CCG and/or bowl game. It's still not a lot of time given how damaging a bad hire can be.
For sure, but we won't hear much about the actual search, assuming there aren't a bunch of leaks.

I dunno. I remember plenty of tracked planes in late November/early December last year. Fans get super bored when it's not Saturday.
Some people mentioned Kyle Whittingham for USC-that's totally not happening.

South Carolina is almost certainly doomed to a bad hire. The OBC was by far the best coach they've ever had, and it's going to be unlikely that they'll get someone in there able to replicate that level of success.
Not meaning to be a bad news bear, just giving my take on where I think Sakerlina will go from here.

Spurrier is going to sign a one day contract and retire as a Blue Devil.

Surely there will be a good assistant coach who wants to head coach in the SEC who will put their hand up?
South Carolina should get their share of talent and their spend on football is good.
It would be a pretty appealing position I would think.

USC lost their coach? They aren't doing too well this year, maybe the new hire will do them some good.

How long does that PersonaGAF avatar bet last anyway?

There are 4 open power 5 coaching jobs and it isn't even November.
Spurrier is an incredible coach and he was there for 11 years and only won the division once. It's a trap.
So, incoming NCAA violations on the Trojans. Someone break out the idiotic rulebook, could have sworn there's a penalty if the kid ends up not going to your school once you signed the Financial Aid paperwork.
But kids are already decommiting from all of USC, east and west.
The 17th.
I believe the penalties only apply if you took advantage of the extra contacts and/or other benefits allowed by a player signing the financial aid paperwork.

Would you keep your NFL coaching job or go back to Alma mater
E: I don't think USCw would take Kiffen

Kiffin to coach USCe confirmed.
As a Husker fan we of course thought of him as a villain for those bowl games we played him in, but everybody here certainly has respect for his career.
also just saw this quote from him
"when a fire at the Auburn library destroyed 20 books: "The real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet.""
YO, DAMN

Hanging "half a hundred" on UGA in Sanford is memorable as this year was the 20th anniversary of that happening. UGA put 52 on Sakerlina this tear, and it makes me warm inside to think that that probably pushed him over the edge.
Not really. They don't have the in state recruiting that Florida, Georgia, and LSU do. Bama gets recruits from everywhere. Sakerlina doesn't. I'm sure they'll find a coach, but it's not in the top 10 of national choices for a coach to go to. In the SEC, it probably ranks somewhere in the middle of desirability.

cfb you so crazy
Technically I believe you're correct, but I don't think enforcement is really happening on that right now. We were in the same position with Stidham last year, and while there were a number of articles about how we violated an NCAA rule (as well as a couple of other schools in the same position last year IIRC) to my knowledge nothing has been done about it yet.
I think it recently happened to LSU but they just got a small slap on the wrist.

I guess the punishment kind of sucked.

Shawn Elliot made more sense for Carolina's replacement.
College football feels strange now without Spurrier.

Sad to see Ole Ballcoach retire. But even sadder to hear Grier is suspended. Absolutely brutal. Why do the football gods hate me? I didn't ask for too much, like those cheatenous Pats fans or thievenous Canes fans. All I wanted was one good year of football. Just fucking one. Ugh.

Interesting to see all the positive thoughts directed at Spurrier. Dude quit on his team mid-season because he doesn't like losing and that doesn't seem to really bother anyone.

KYLE FLOOD IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE USCE JOB!
HE IS HAPPY AT RUTGERS! YOU WILL NEED TO SETTLE FOR AN INFERIOR SCRUB COACH LIKE MARK DANTONIO.

I would wager he was asked to retire at the end of the season and did it on his own terms.

Not feeling all of the OBC love after the juvenile way he acted any time the prospect of retirement came up, or the shitty and sleazy ways he went after journalists who dared to challenge him.
I generally don't have much respect for coaches who are too obstinate to realize they need to hang it up. They're willing to hold their programs back because they're too fucking arrogant to get the hell out.
