Horrible if true but I don’t see any tweets like that on his timeline. Guess he could have deleted it.

I mean I want to see OSU fall but this dude just needs to go away and stop blaming others for his mistakes.

Something about rats deserting a sinking ship. I don't blame him, actually. Daniels was anointed as the starter although he's done little to earn it.
This is potentially big news nationally.
Woodward hired Petersen at Washington and Fisher at A&M. He is considered a great AD and Orgeron is still considered a placeholder by a sizable contingent of LSU fans.
Fisher has $75 million guaranteed from A&M, but no buyout.
Woodward’s inability to negotiate a more favorable contract with Fischer may end up coming back around to benefit him at LSU.
I think there is a compelling argument that a fully guaranteed $75 million is enough to keep Fisher in College Station. That is a lot of money to give up.
You’re making the assumption that LSU wouldn’t offer him close to the same contract. It’s the same guy drawing up the proposal after all.
An assumption with some very real grounding. A&M has more money to spend than LSU, a school which went through an ugly divorce with Les Miles, in large part due to money.
$75 million guaranteed is ridiculous. I do not think another school is going to go out on that limb anytime soon, if ever again. Schools with that type of money to throw around want more flexibility to fire coaches, not less.
Not only did LSU have that ugly divorce with Miles but the state has a major budget problem which is pushing hard on all programs at LSU https://www.thepicardgroup.com/news...-turned-the-tide-in-louisianas-budget-debate/
that are creating financial difficulties in the whole school. https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_r...cle_3a68cdea-c0e0-11e8-8e98-83d967e6de10.html
Considering the cuts to various departments, reductions in teaching staff, increases in tuition, and other impacts the Athletic Department would have a real problem with public opinion if they gave out a contract like this one.
Football is important there but even it has it's limits.
LSU isn't even in the same hemisphere as Texas A&M and the money they have access to
LSU can throw a ton of money at a coach, there is no question about that. The difference between the two is that when a contract like that goes south LSU would take a little time to recover while A&M would likely just throw more money as someone to try and solve the issue.
This one is nice to see, IMO. No more inconclusive so the call on the field stands BS when it comes to Targeting. They now MUST CONFIRM all elements of targeting are present in order to eject a player and assess the 15 yard penalty.
Agree, but I just hope it doesn't take them ****ing 15-20 minutes to do it.
so is that last rule for kickoffs only or all plays? If so I'm reading that as you can't hit someone hard if they are chasing a QB, for example, on a scramble and a receiver comes back to deliver a blow? What are you supposed to do? Let them railroad you since you can't blind side them?
Blind side block was instituted two years ago in high school and now is being adopted by the NCAA. From the 2017 NFHS rule book:
RULE 2, SEC. 3, ART. 10: A blindside block is a block against an opponent other than the runner, who does not see the blocker approaching.
RULE 9, SEC. 4, ART. 3: No player or nonplayer shall: n. Execute a blindside block outside of the free-blocking zone with forceful contact unless initiated with open hands.
In essence if you are not facing your opponent, i.e. approaching from an angle outside your targets vision, you can't deliver any shoulder type block. The block must be initiated with open hands. This eliminates another source of contact that has a high rate of resulting injuries because the target does not see and can not prepare for the hit. Some people will hate it because blind side blocks are usually decleaters and make nice highlight tape. It is a good step for the game.
I don't know exactly how the NCAA will define it though.
You are completely wrong in your thinking. Watch any video of a blind side block and tell me any situation in which the blocker could possibly be in danger. The defender is moving in one direction towards the ball carrier, the blocker is moving towards the defender at an angle, there is no possible way for the blocker to be "bulled" through. The blocker will either deliver a block using open hands to the shoulder or chest area, or miss the block completely.
This video from the Colorado Football Officials Association explains it pretty clearly.
see where I retracted my post before you responded. But if you played football growing up (which I am assuming you did) the bigger guy can easily bull through the guy coming for the blind side block if he sees it coming. Blind side insinuates you can never see them coming which isn't always the case. I've been bulled over by a bigger linebacker coming back to block him being a receiver without trying to use the hands to block, it can certainly happen.
