Is it ridiculous? ND has been thumped in just about every Playoff game they've played and coaching was not the reason for that. Riley had Oklahoma at its peak and still couldn't win a playoff game. I think both saw the ceiling with recruiting/resources and moved on to places that has unlimited in both areas. Although, Kelly may end up being a terrible fit for LSU.
Yep. I think this was also a major factor in Riley leaving.
Fwiw, MM felt (justifiably) that he was being railroaded on staff then lied to and not supported on Tumpkin as PD & RG played CYA. He was pissed and if he'd won another game or two his agent would have been able to land him a new P5 HC job.
That's probably true. i remember the rumors about Mississippi and Baylor.
Kasey Dunn or Sean Lewis.
Is that your official response?
I went to Temple Law school. What he did there was Jesus like.
But Temple doesn't even have one Flatiron...how can that be?
MM had every right to be pissed at RG and PD. RG playing games with MM in regards to Chev and basically forcing MM to move on from Lindgren should have been a huge tell for all of us. MM would have eventually shown how mediocre he was if the Tumpkin and Chev issues didn't come up. It was just sped up with the incompetence of PD and RG
I forgot about the fact that Lindgren was OC for 3 years before they hired Chiaverini to be Co-OC in January 2016. That was like 18 months after Rick George was hired.
Just a reminder that MT refused to keep Chev in an OC role when he took the job but an expanded Chev role seemed to part of the KD hire. Chev was RG's boy. I'm convinced the RG plan was for KD to stabilize and mentor Chev to take over at the end of KD's contract.
How much of that was the B4L crowd that has way too much influence on the AD?
The same group that opposed Bohn after GB was fired, lost their sh!t when DH made significant changes while publicly ripping the state of the program he inherited, bitched about the BB practice facility because they wanted fb to get all resources, angrily blasted Bohn to his face at their meetings while he politically kept attending, and forced the hiring of Embree and the termination of Bohn? Let's just say I don't see them as a simple networking and charitable organization for legacy Buff athletes.
I'm pretty sure Lindgren left on his own, but he saw the writing on the wall and wanted no part of it. He obviously made the right decision.
Agreed, except I already paid for his dinner.
Why???
Because my season ticket money went into his salary and buyout.
Well, that makes sense. Please tell me you didn't go to the Toledo or Kansas game.
Luckily I didn’t, but I wouldn’t blame MM for those.
So when do we lose our minds? After every other school with an opening hires their coach and we’re left with Scott Frost?
Chev is/was Lance Carl's boy. Uncomfirmed rumor that went around the CC during Chev's time here is that Chev had dirt on LC and threatened to expose him if he was ever fired.
Add the John Eastman situation. Eastman was literally plotting a coup using his CU email.
And yet he was fired and no dirt.
Like I said, unconfirmed rumor. But if there was dirt, maybe it wasn't as effective to LC's reputation because he was demoted so it didn't matter.
