I started having my doubts when everyone was getting excited about his offense and I took one look and said, "Nick can't run 95% of this."Quote:

James Franklin did. It took the first few games of Joe's first year at Penn State. He realized Joe's offense was all talk and smoke and mirrors. Fortunately, he had Saquon Barkley.Quote:

Nick really struggled picking up any offense. He legitimately has NFL QB talent but there's a major reason why he never played in the NFL.Quote:

Moorhead struggled to understand the difference between what worked on the white-board versus what actually worked on the field. On the white-board, I can be left tackle and block TJ Watt. On the field he will run my ass over so you better give me tons of help. Also, concepts and reads seem so simple to the offensive-minded coach on the white-board. But can your players make those reads? If so, will the QB and receiver each read them the same way?Quote:

The team was fat, lazy, and out of shape when they took the field after his first offseason. They were extremely undisciplined and lacked direction. There are no excuses other than he is a terrible coach.
Now, let's get back to some real coaching rumors!!!!!
Does Malzahn end up with a HC job this time? I thought he was a great coach at Auburn.
Gus doesn't want a HC job anymore. He's happy being an OC.Quote:

Just being an SEC school benefits the surrounding area so much for each university, and Alabama attracts merit scholars due to their football success all the time despite not being an outstanding academic school. It?s an interesting play that seems to be getting their attention.Quote:

Fitz is one of the best 20 QB's in SEC history. His stats demand you acknowledge that. He was incredibleQuote:

Had Mullen stayed 1 more year with Fitz- he would be right there with Dakota as legends of Miss State. That 2018 team with Mullen wins at least 10 and probably 11
Then those people don?t really understand how the current landscape is set up going forward following the court ruling. Revenue share is real and schools are going to allocate funds where they want to and where they think their fans want it. Now of course it could change next month, and there will be challenges in court, but no one and I mean no one really knows how each school is planning on allocating funds. Now some schools, most in the sec, front loaded their money before the court ruling this past summer but after next season things will look different. People that think Drink would pack up and leave mizzou for Arkansas haven?t paid attention to just how much they are committed to football right now. Mizzou is not interested in going too crazy on basketball and they give zero shits about baseball, so of course football has made a big step in recent years because it allowed more funds to go there.Quote:

Gonna be interesting until he declares his love for Grenada Without The Lake
I don't disagree. And to be honest I don't think the partying was really as much an issue as much as the fact that he lacked experience at the position and didn't get much of it in high school.Quote:

Those weeks after regular season, and until the playoff game will be fun. I am truly interested how it is handled publicly.Quote:

I am probably one of the biggest Moorhead haters, but we still weren?t beating Bama or LSU in BR in 2018 because we didn?t have a good enough passing game. That said, any other coach would have had control enough of the team to go 10-2 and get a NY6 bowl and not have a tutor scandal.
Mullen would have given us a chance in both of those games. If you remember- LSU was in a rainstorm that year. We held LSU to 239 yards of total offense.Quote:

Arkansas- Ryan Silverfield.
Auburn - Jon Sumrall. Behind him is Durkin.
Sorry. Can?t buy the first one. There is a Statue of Nick Saban at Bryant-Denny. No way will the Tide powers allow it to stand if he goes to their second biggest rival! The fans would tear it down!Quote:

LSU-Lincoln Riley. Call it a hunch. A lot of LSU people wanted him last time and I think he's had enough of his West Coast experience. He also has rehabbed his image a good bit this year in terms of being a good playcaller.
Auburn-Jon Sumrall. All the talk is this the preferred candidate.
Arkansas- Silverfield has a ton of momentum but I think this thing will turn to Franklin in the end. Also watch out for Drinkwitz here. I think he's a possibility.
Correct. We would have beaten lsu.Quote:

We would have won that game something like 17-6.
SEC Shorts did a mid week special about the firings. Pretty good check it out,
I think Sumrall at Auburn makes them a problem again. He will do very well there. If they also fire Cohen after the hire, then they will be relevant again.
Does Joe Judge ever come to MSU? Could be a good mentor that Lebby needs on game days.
lol- you obviously dont know about his current jobQuote:

McCready on their 247 asked if he had to bet if Lane stays....he said as of today if he had to bet , that the leaves ole miss.
But then again they love the fake hat selections for signing day also.
That would cause too much potential discord in the program though. That's why they constantly spread rumors about whoever our coach is leaving.Quote:

If there was the slightest chance Lane was staying Not A Fan would have adamantly said he is staying. Neal has the gist of the back channel discussions and it is all pointing to Lane leaving.Quote:

Lol. During their podcast YESTERDAY, both Neal and Chase said they'd bet Lane was staying at OM. They must've heard something...Quote:
