2014: 8 wins

2008: 8 Wins
2007: 12 wins, National Champions
2006: 11 wins

I don't get it. The dude has never had a losing record and they are going to pay him $15 million to leave.

There is literally only one college town in the football landscape which holds players less accountable for their behavior than Tallahassee. Amazingly, it's not lincoln.

some programs truly take their football serious. Try to fix a problem proactively before it gets to the point CU is at.

I remember driving through Baton Rouge in the 90s and seeing all of the Geaux Tigers bumper stickers.

CU was on top of the football world. LSU was, like, a 3 and 9 nobody from a ****ty conference. I remember wondering how anybody could root for a team so bad.

Obviously, my sense of football fandom entitlement has been right-sized in time. But there is no edict that says LSU should sit atop the football world. Their fans may face a similar reality to nebraska (post Solich) if this happens.

Part of it is LSU hubris. Part of it is that LM is close to retirement and they don't want him playing out the string, or, more likely, to hinder recruiting when other coaches are saying he is playing out the string. LSU realizes getting players is paramount.

I am all for firing a coach if you decide they are not able to do the job anymore. But paying a coach the caliber of Les Miles 15 million dollars to go away just blows my mind.

I agree with you $15 mil is a lot..How much $ has CU wasted the last 10+ years? That $15 doesn't look quite as big.
 
Well his presser was pointless. Nothing said about job status. Focusing on Texas A&M game this weekend. Allowed two questions about job rumors and pretty much said nothing.

Rumors all over the web though that LSU donors have the money and are willing to front the 20mil to fire him and his staff.

Is it wrong that I'm officially rooting for coaching apocalypse this season for the sheer entertainment value. Imagine if Strong actually took the Miami gig and Georgia parts ways with Richt. You'd have Texas, USC, LSU, and Georgia open at the same time. Bama, FSU, Michigan State, and Clemson would all potentially be at risk if someone comes in with a godfather offer...and that's not even counting solid jobs like Va Tech and Mizzou already being open.

Gotta love declarative statements like this with the coach carousel about to hit the fan.

You might want to research D'Antonio and the way he lives his life. He has spoken many times of his commitments. That is his last job.

Yeah, a ton of coaches say the same thing right before they leave. I am not saying you are wrong, just that stuff like that always happens and this years seems more hectic than ever before.

my guess is D'Antonio is Gonna be Saban's Replacement at Bama

Dantonio is smart enough not to take that job. I think the odds of him leaving Michigan State are low regardless, but he is a bad fit for Alabama and he knows it.

How could anybody be a bad fit for 'Bama?

Early interviews at UCF include Geoff Collins and Randy Shannon. Chizik and Dino Babers rumored to be on the list as well.
 
I was perusing LSU's TigerDroppings board and there is a thread about Twitter indications that Kelley is parting ways with the Eagles. It may be nothing though and just based on some speculation earlier today by Schefter. I wonder if USC has their man? Would they be okay with his non-traditional offense?

It's probably the last thing the Buff's need to have him back in the conference and in our division, though you'd think anyone they get will be a top coach. Its probably too much to expect them to whiff a third time in a row.
 
Damn, Memphis has really fallen apart. Fuente will be lucky if he can still sneak out of there with a good job lined up.

Tom Herman still looking good, but some luster will come off if he loses the season finale to a 16th ranked Navy..

I wonder if anyone gives Navy's coach (not even gonna try) a go?

and then finally, Temple's Matt Ruhle looking like he's on the right path. Again, scary for schools to hire him since he really only has had 1 good year.
