I saw on SBNation that LSU fans basically want him or Jimbo or they consider it a disaster.

That sucks about the jump, but understandable.
The alliance was made when Geiger made his field goal...
It's nice to want things.

This is true
Jimbo isn't going to leave. Herman is going to take the USCw job. I here Muschamp is available, LSU fans. They are already used to inept offensives and good defense. It'd be a perfect fit.
I think the fighting TTKs wants someone bigger than Herman.

I saw on the ESPN bottom line crawl during lunch that Kirby Smart is a top contender for the South Cack job.

The real USC called.
Actually, a lot of USC fans would be happy with Herman. Sure, a lot of people want a massive-name "home run" hire but others just want somebody who isn't scraps from the table of Pete at this point.

New rivalry trophy was unveiled. Not sure why only our logo is colored on the top of it, but still an improvement.
Who is a massive name home run hire at this point? Chip? I can't think of anybody else.

Ignoring Kyle Flood, of course.
Saban
I mean you could simply list all the best coaches, but honestly, I don't see a lot of homerun hires for blue blood schools that are remotely realistic besides Chip and maybe Jimbo? Not even sure I would call Jimbo a homerun hire. Definitely a great one, but I dunno.

Other than Saban I don't think there is a home run hire, every coach has his issues.
For as much crazy as there was in the comments of that SBNation thing I read, there were a lot of what I would list as valid concerns about Les Miles and he's probably the biggest potential name other than Chip Kelly.

Best thing is, at this point, it's more believable that Saban retires rather than goes to another team, so at that point, "the bar" just gets lowered, rather than having "the bar" go somewhere else and compete against you.
Unless Saban falls off tremendously in recruiting, whoever comes in has a fully loaded pantry. Even Muschamp might actually succeed!

All according to plan for when Dabo takes the job.

The "big" names are Chip Kelly, John Harbaugh, Jeff Fisher, Gruden, blah blah blah
Generally it's fantasy land.

It is, and every P5 program thinks they have the inside track to landing any one of those guys
USC is one of the real true power schools that can attract anybody, so I'd give them that.

Good to see Herman drop out of South Carolina, I was baffled by that decision. Anyways, Texas cannot go another season with Charlie Steong as head football coach. If Les Miles is out, Texas needs to hard after him.

Umm... you forgot Kyle Flood in that list.
27-23 at a school like Rutgers is pretty damn impressive.
Really hope Sumlin has an offseason plan on fixing the offense. Too many good recruits have come through at QB, and struggled, to think it is just those players. Air Raid really seems to stress the QB more than other "spread" offenses. Oklahoma going from Mayfield to Trevor Knight was watching a 12-1 team go to an 8-5 team
Iowa State has taken less than a week on almost all of their major hires (Hoiberg was the only one longer than a week from my memory). I'd expect a name to be publicly released shortly after the WVU game. It's probably not going to be a Tom Herman, even if it would be cool that he came back to ISU. I'm betting that we are the first school to announce a new coach of the current vacancies.

I don't know about anyone else, but that looks really cool.
Shouldn't have brought it back in the first place. I feel like this is the second time since I've been a student that I got this email.

It's never been a sanctioned event and they tried to ban it before but putting fences around the lake and they were just torn down. The jump wont stop no matter what the university does.
This year though they were handing out official wristbands beforehand or something to try to better control it themselves because of what happened a couple years ago. The email mentioned how they tried to make it safer but now they're going to work to permanently end it. I'm sure students will continue to do it though unless they actually do something drastic.
I think it's a combo of acclimation by SEC defenses, combined with the lack of a mobile qb, tied down completely by the lack of tempo and Spavital's play calling. I put Murray's ceiling higher than Allen's, but he needs the off season to work on it. Having a mobile qb keeps the defense a little more honest even on passing downs, which seems to do wonders for an air raid.

That's easy, build a classy, luxurious wall around the lake and make the student body pay for it.
on a serious note, how many playoff relevant upsets do you guys think will happen this week

Theyve been doing the "wrist band" thing for a few years now, after the first 100 people when they get over ran they say fuck it.

South Carolina and Auburn are both bad, either of them winning would be the upset of the season.
I seem to be in the minority, but I think Iowa will handle Nebraska fine.
PSU will probably give MSU a bit of a game but I doubt MSU loses.
Could see Stanford/Irish, Mich/OSU, and OU/OSU going either way, but I'm not sure those would qualify as "upsets."
I could see Baylor losing, but even with their third string QB I think they have a good chance. And Florida is probably going to lose, but is that really an upset?
Apparently bringing Richt back isn't as settled as I thought it was. Influential donors seem split about 50/50 on whether he should be retained or not.
