A skinny white dude, blowing cigar smoke, trying to look gangsta is baller? Damn, I'm getting old.Gotta hand it to him. That's a pretty baller way to solidify a commitment to a program

Having the entire CFB world talking about you being the guy to replace Nick Saban, people doing flight trackers from Eugene to Tuscaloosa, local news in both places talking about your whereabouts, etc and you put out a video that reaffirms commitment to Oregon, AND TURNS IT INTO A RECRUITING PITCH AT THE SAME TIME, is ****ing baller. If Lanning was CU's coach, we'd all love that guy whether people want to admit it or not.A skinny white dude, blowing cigar smoke, trying to look gangsta is baller? Damn, I'm getting old.
Regardless, he's still a douchebag.Having the entire CFB world talking about you being the guy to replace Nick Saban, people doing flight trackers from Eugene to Tuscaloosa, local news in both places talking about your whereabouts, etc and you put out a video that reaffirms commitment to Oregon, AND TURNS IT INTO A RECRUITING PITCH AT THE SAME TIME, is ****ing baller.

If I don't feel like I'm living up to that standard, I'm really disappointed. I wasn't disappointed in the season ... this team was fun to coach and I was very proud. "But I felt like I could have done a better job if I was younger." (Laughs).
I respectfully disagree. Saban is the best college football coach, but he did not turn Alabama into a blue blood in football, Bear Bryant did that. Pat Summit took over a solid Tennessee program, turned into the top women's basketball program and is one of the two top women's college basketball coaches ever (along with Geno Auriemma). Wooden took a dormant UCLA program, started from the ground up and literally changed it into a blue blood program. Winning 10 National Championships in 11 years is the elite of the elite.If we did a "greatest coach ever regardless of sport" then Wooden is absolutely within that group with Saban, Pat Summit and a handful of others who someone could say is the GOAT and fully justify & defend their opinion. It may be subjective, but the number of coaches who are reasonable choices is hyper select.
A guy who thinks “The Discord” is a group of buff fans is wholly unqualified to have an opinion on what constitutes “baller”. Even the word is cringe and dated.Having the entire CFB world talking about you being the guy to replace Nick Saban, people doing flight trackers from Eugene to Tuscaloosa, local news in both places talking about your whereabouts, etc and you put out a video that reaffirms commitment to Oregon, AND TURNS IT INTO A RECRUITING PITCH AT THE SAME TIME, is ****ing baller.

Lanning is a snivelly f****** queef. Only a beta simp soyboy gets his wife’s face tattooed on himself. Nothing is more offensive than a peacocking beta and it’s a shame it didn’t get hazed out of him in his definite frat history tbh

Les with the random nuclear assault. I like it, although I have to deduct points for repeated use of beta. Yak with an adequate yet depressing riposte.

The editorial process is a difficult one.Yak had an opportunity to properly retaliate with the "dork" insult, it just got a little wordy.

I always feel sad for those who categorize the world in alpha/beta. It's like a beacon of insecurity.Les with the random nuclear assault.

I appreciate Les for adopting the schtick and speaking the language of the insecure. It's amusing. But we must have standards.I always feel sad for those who categorize the world in alpha/beta. It's like a beacon of insecurity.

That's fair. But I think we downplay how hard it is to create dynastic runs within modern sports landscape. Like how some people reduce their rating of Phil Jackson because of MJ/Scottie and Shaq/Kobe. There's also a huge skill involved in managing those egos, money & celebrity to get guys to focus on team, build chemistry and stay together when they hit some tough stretches.I respectfully disagree.

Granted I am a bit of a fan. A few years after I moved to LA, I met Coach Wooden at a UCLA game in 2004. A friend of mine is an actor and the "voice of NBC". His mother-in-law's 80th birthday was coming up the following week and she loved coach Wooden. I asked him if he would sign a ball for her, her name was Ruth. He signed Happy 80th Birthday Ruth along with a message. Mind you, there were literally hundreds of people who would line up to meet him at each game, at the time he attended every home game. I attended another game 4 months later, I was walking to the snack area and I hear this voice "Jason, hey Jason, come here". It was Coach Wooden. I walked over, shook his hand and he said "Did Ruth enjoy her Birthday message". Unbelievable! He was in his 90's and mind sharp as a tack.

Come on, not like it was hard to keep Rodman on the planet. Just let him go to vegas for a couple days and boom, perfect teammate again.That's fair.

If it makes you feel any better, most of these dudes only know what Discord is because their kids or "nephews" are on itYeah, the Discord thing is going to be tough to overcome. Possibly insurmountable
@Buffnik works for NPR? ImpressiveReporter on npr floated DeMeco Ryans. This seems unlikely for a bunch of reasons but I thought it was interesting
Don't worry, Discords fly themselves, so it's cool.Yeah, the Discord thing is going to be tough to overcome. Possibly insurmountable
The $700mm dealerships purchase and being loose with reporters and fans were the signals.I kinda wonder how long this has been in the works and when Saban first thought about retiring after this season and when he first shared his thoughts with the AD.
It's good timing to wait until today, btw. Let Michigan and Harbaugh have their day in the sun first before dropping this bombshell on newsrooms.
All day meetings at work. Couldn’t read the entire thread.@Buffnik works for NPR? Impressive
This is the big reason why he won’t go to Oregon. Prime remembers when people talk sh!t about him. Oregon fans been criticizing him all year.I think it's hilarious that all these fanbases that hate on Prime and sh!t on everything positive ever attached to him... all of a sudden want him to be their next HC when their job opens.
