Anyone remember Mike Price's abbreviated tenure as Alabama's Head Coach? "Roll Tide"!! He was never actually the head coach. That was the problem. He hit the strip club before he signed the contract. Rookie mistake. |

Does this mean that the Duck job is better than the Husky job? Lanning stayed. DeBoer fled. Yes...regardless if Lanning got offered, or not...as much as I hate to admit it, the duck job is a top job in the country now. They have the resources, and the national recruiting footprint. If they win it all, that coach will be set for life with Nike money. |

If they win it all, that coach will be set for life with Nike money. I don't think it is. Lanning was not their first choice when they hired him, he came in with zero HC experience and was the consolation prize after Wilcox (and maybe others IIRC?) turned down the job. And for all the hype and rumors, he was clearly not Bama's first choice, either. And really shouldn't have been. Objectively speaking, DeBoer is head and shoulders above him as a football coach, and is 3-0 head to head against him. Lanning has a good thing going for him right now, but he's not a top-tier coach, and his job is not a top-tier job. |

Part of the job of coach is to win over the public so that they trust him. Lanning has done that. Yeah, he lost to the Beavs his first year; he fixed that the second year. Sure, he lost to UW twice this year, but the public will allow it because he has their trust. Maybe he wasn’t top choice for Alabama or maybe his agent let them know he isn’t interested. We’ll see what happens in the future but I think of all teams, the Ducks are about the only one from the traitors that has a good chance at success. |

I think USC will do fine in that league if Riley can actually find a better defensive coordinator. |

I think USC will do fine in that league if Riley can actually find a better defensive coordinator. That's the task, though, isn't it? Does Riley know enough about defense to hire the right coordinator? Smith figured it out. So far, Riley doesn't seem to be able to do so. I don't know if this is correct, but it is starting to look like, to me at least, that Riley does very well in a weak conference, like the Big 12 while he was there and the Pac his first year. Then this past year, the Pac improved by leaps and bounds and Riley's SC team, with a "revamped defense," was only a step above mediocrity. Maybe Riley isn't the guy, after all. And I would love that to be true. Can't stand sc. I would love them to collapse into mediocrity in the big 10. |

You really don't think much of the program here in Corvallis either, do you? Why? |

Can’t win big without any D. |

To be a head coach, you really have to have a pocketful of clichés, don't you. |

What a p.o.s. that guy is. 8 minutes of bs with zero effort to be honest. How many of those players is he texting right after preaching for them to stick together with the text reading ‘come with me to Alabama and we will win that national championship “? F that guy, f him for f’ing over the Pac-12 then fleeing to Alabama. Hope he is fired in 2 years. |
