    I think it's the new normal in college football, at least for a while.

    NIL and the portal have made a lot of "have nots" into real contenders, so now there will always be programs who consider themselves too good for mediocre results (Penn State, Auburn, etc., this year) getting those mediocre results and making a change.

    Not hard for them either. Buyout being reported as just shy of $16 million.

    Before the season is over.... in a strange crazy way we might be glad we're not 8&1 right now.
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    With all that money to buy out coaches, do you think programs are putting enough into the NIL?

    The rev share now has actually helped. Now it’s not just totally on the Boosters- opening up more money for buyouts and other things

    Well didn?t every single coach came back from last season? Seems like a few of these should have been excused after last season.

    I just don’t agree firing during the season. Maybe last week is season. But I read ED posters some love firings.

    Players and Coaches are employees now. Win or Go home

    No such thing as a "nice 19-year-old student do his best" ... paid employees and can be booed and run out-of-town and blasted on-line by journalists and NIL contributors.

    Wonder if Dabo gets tired of Clemson and would go to Aubbie. Listening to Aubbie verson of T@L and they are throwing darts at every coach including LK and Drink.

    Yep. When you make over a hundred times the average American, the expectations rachet up accordingly.

    He's lost 2 in a row. He might get a new job but not much of an upgrade from where he is now.
