GDT: Official 2017 #hcanes NCAA Football Thread

[DaveG]

Honestly the AD should be fired after this debacle. Not only has he earned a pink slip with the way all of this was handled, but the only way to eventually get out from under the weight of this whole thing is to hit "reboot" on the whole administration. Nobody in their right mind would want to come in and work under the current conditions.

It does strike me similar to naming Lou Lamoriello to head up a coaching search. Somehow you know he's going to name himself the coach when it's all said and done. The thing is, I could see boosters ultimately happy at the idea of Fulmer coming back. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that.

Here's the crazy part. There's significant talk that Fulmer is one of the ones pushing the buttons (other then the Schiano button) that have been causing the guys like Brohm to say "no", there's even talk that there was a deal in principle done with Leach by the AD and Fulmer and his backers essentially forced him out the door before anything could get put on paper. I mean, this shit's flat out better then the writing for House of Cards has been since they prettymuch ran out of material to borrow from the British version.

It’s full on reality show right now. A bunch of has-beens stabbing each other in the back to get the privilege of getting fired next.

forget the 30 for 30

this needs to be an OJ style multi episode thing

Tennessee should get sanctioned by the NCAA for lack of institutional control imo.

They have institutional control... they just use it to make terrible decisions.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

and then what happens?

"It's my honor to introduce the next head coach of Tennessee Volunteers football, a man who knows how to lead a team to victory..."

I mean it worked for this guy...

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Jimbo Fisher out at FSU.

 

[Unsustainable]

UT has spent 13 million and still hasn’t found a coach.

 

[JCLA]

but they've hired their fired ex coach to be the AD

 

[Unsustainable]

What’s Les Miles up to? 8-9 wins a season, beat Bama a time or 2.

To be fair they had rehired him previously - he was already serving as a special advisor to UT's president. And it's not for sure he's going to be the new AD, they've just asked him to take on the coaching search.

 

[RodTheBawd]

Jimbo Fisher out at FSU.

Good, f*** him. He epitomizes the sleezy do anything to protect the team football is everything should be in jail football coach type. I could be wrong, I really don't much about the guy other than what he projects.
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing FSU suck, but there is no way a team with that much talent should have been derailed so badly by the loss of Francois.

Vols turn to Hall of Famer Fulmer as new AD

Didn't know he had already been there in some fashion.

I stand corrected - hadn't seen he was taking over AD duties, just that they had asked him to head up the search. Well, step 1 of my theory is correct. Step 2 is somewhere shooting a commercial for Papa John's or Nationwide.

 

[Unsustainable]

I think Duke will be the next looking for a coach...

 

[HisIceness]

I'm expecting a phone call from U of Tennessee to be their coach any minute now.

ESPN reports that Scott Frost is going to Nebraska while UCF is playing Memphis in OT. How f***ing pathetic is that?

Then, of course, McShay asks Frost a question about Nebraska after he just completed a 12-0 season. ESPN is a joke.

 

[Unsustainable]

Sooners locked in

Yeah, that was awkward.

Looks like Georgia is capturing the SEC title and will be in the playoff.

 

[HisIceness]

If Wisconsin comes back and wins, they're in no questions asked. Then becomes the question of who is seeded where.

If Ohio State wins, unfortunately we might get stuck with Alabama again.
