Louisville and Ole Miss to meet in 2021 Chick-fil-A kickoff !!!

[BulldogBear]

Does anyone else find this both as humorous and disturbing as I do?

[TrapGame]

By that time ole miss will have a team of two stars with a quarterback they stole from Milsaps.

They will be like the fighting armadilloes.....only 50 scholarship players.

Louisville should be pretty good by then...they will have moved on from Sirmon and rebuilt their defense by then.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'll put the odds at 30% that this game actually gets played.

I just can't imagine this kickoff showcase is going to be on board 10,000 OM fans attending with 60 scholarship players.

I bet it get cancelled prior to 2020

But will Petrino still be there? For those who think Freeze will reemerge, hasn't Petrino washed his image enough to get back to a real P5?

Louisville > UNM. Louisville is in a real conference now and Louisville has been a consistently good program. Petrino has a better shot at a National Title at Louisville than the modern day SMU.

They should play the game on Sunday so nobody can get any Chik-Fil-Ass

[Ari Gold]

This will be the last or prob next to last year of probation for the Shitbirds. That product will be an embarrassment to the SEC

Pretty sure Louisville has a huge buyout clause in petrino's contract. He screwed then once, screwed the falcons, and they had all the leverage coming off the motorcycle debacle, so they made sure the contract pretty much makes it prohibitive for anyone else to come in and hire him. Plus he's getting up there in age, any other P5 program that's better than Louisville is going to be looking at a younger version of petrino. Only saban and Meyer are such great coaches that everyone else would hire them regardless of age.

These top programs need to get away from this. They're all looking for the HR hire who becomes a beast of a coach that you have for 20+ years, but how often does that happen? Coaches of any caliber or age are rarely at a school for more than 10-15 years at absolute most, so they need to just focus on hiring the absolute best coach they can regardless of age. Otherwise you end up where the SEC is right now where schools like UGA, Florida, Tennessee, and LSU all have crap or unproven coaches (though at Florida and LSU, they obviously didn't go super young).

Louisville is a P5 school and they've been a top 20 program since 2000. Louisville has been a better football program than Arkansas the last twenty years except when Petrino was riding motorcycles and eating fists from fianc?s.

Good play Ari.

They have had a better record but they played in the CUSA/Big East/AAC for the majority of those years. TCU has been a better program overall too but they've been more up and down since leaving the MWC. Hard to tell how they would do having to play Alabama, LSU and Auburn every year.

Butch jones had a very good track record before Tennessee hired him. He was at the top of a lot of P5 lists with 6 years of success at central Michigan and Cincinnati, with assistant coaching stints in the NFL and with peak wvu under rich rod. He hasn't necessarily worked out, but you couldn't really be more qualified for landing your first top 20 P5 job. And not many programs are going to be able to pull successful P5 coaches off another quality P5 job without something extra (hometown, alma mater).

Ohio st only got Urban because he gave himself a heart attack and had to step away from Florida. Florida only got Urban because they plucked him from pre-PAC 12 Utah after success as a non-P5 HC (just like butch jones). Bama only got saban because he failed in the NFL, and lsu took a shot on him after he turned Michigan st from a shitty program into a mediocre program, but he was hardly winning championships at Michigan st.

Point is, it's takes a pretty specific set of circumstances for elite HCs to move from a top tier P5 program to a new top tier P5 program. When mid tier programs like state and ole miss can pay $5M/year for a coach, the $$$ alone doesn't sway coaches like it did even 10 years ago. The coaches with the highest success aren't going anywhere (Urban, saban, fisher, dabo (until saban retires at least), etc.), so that leaves programs having to take shots on retreads, non-P5 HCs, lower tier P5 HCs, and coordinators. Who was the last HC to leave a mid or top tier P5 program for a top tier P5 job elsewhere?

And everyone, I mean literally everyone, knows lsu botched their hire. No one considers orgeron a hot up and comer or a proven winner.
