OT: All purpose NCAA thread v2.0

[Asnito]

Kendal Briles is apparently going to Florida State as their new OC.

I was originally a big Art Briles fan after I heard the story about how both his parents were killed in a car accident on the way to see him start his first game at the University of Houston but after reading about all the crap that went down at Baylor both him and his son can PISS OFF.

The sheer volume of sexual assaults that happened under their watch is just disturbing.

Him & his son are pretty good football minds but yeah. There’s way more ties to the situation with Art but obviously there’s some stink around Kendal too.

 

[Asnito]

Art is definitely more responsible but Kendal knew what was going on. Just because you're not the Alpha male doesn't mean you let it go.

IMO football has taken more kids and turned them into men than any other sport in America. Winning matters but not at the expense of you and your programs integrity but unfortunately that is the way big time college football works nowadays.

Good hire for K State.

I wonder if this has any effect on the Bison's playoff run.

Yeah I mean Art is completely unemployable but Kendal is going on his third OC job since after all that. This is his first big exposure gig at Florida State opposed to Florida Atlantic & Houston previously. He’s been an OC for a while now through all those gigs & at Baylor. I don’t really know if he’ll ever get a head coaching job anywhere somewhat noteworthy.

Turnover trashcan going to Maryland.

Booooooo

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I'll play, but no one is touching my avatar area lol

You lose you gotta switch to this.

 

[FLYguy3911]

His son is a freshman on the team this year, scholarship player too so not just a walk-on.

Have to imagine these are somewhat related.

Your tweets have been showing up for me with only the top half of them showing for the past 24 hours or so. I have no idea why.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Not a chance I am risking that But that's a great photo for a username like "ExorcistBaby" or "ExorcistPlacenta" or something else really, really disturbing.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Dad I can’t see real well. Is that Matt Foley over there?

 

[Ruck Over]

He was pretty bad at Miami, that overshadows it. He’s been a position coach with the Lions since then. So he’s fallen off the map altogether.

It's unfortunate because that was doomed to fail from the beginning. Wherever Golden had been, he took a bit of PSU with him, that iconic respectful, tough, bout your business, grades matter attitude he was emulating from JoePa. That was not going to work in Miami. Add on top of that the sanctions Miami maybe, maybe not, were going to incur for the all the dirt being tossed around, he was put in a losing situation. That was a job he probably shouldn't have taken, although you can only pass on those type of things maybe once before the door just closes on you.

I get it, I was rooting for him, was not surprised he failed there. Univ of Miami is donkey balls. And now they're getting their lunch eaten by everyone else, which makes it even sweeter.

(I feel a little similar about Rhule @ Baylor, but they seem to be a bit more reasonable for the time being.)

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The higher up’s at Miami don’t want the renegade program perception they had in their glory days. Even after Golden they essentially turned to same guy in Richt albeit with a much better resume. They don’t care about the knuckle draggers who yearn for the old days because most of the time are not local &/or they’re not alumni.

They don’t care about the knuckle draggers who yearn for the old days because most of the time are not local &/or they’re not alumni.

That's all well and good, and the resume will speak loudly in this situation. But all the noise around the program, alumni, boosters, etc. made so much more degrading noise concerning Golden, especially expectations about being competitive, that it damaged his ability to install the type of program he wanted, from an overarching culture shift, to actually getting the players he wanted signed and etc.

Because of the flame-out with Golden, expectations have been tempered with Richt. And while Miami is in no way a patient location, Richt is benefiting from not having a program go through sanction discussions with the NCAA and etc. as well. Richt is succeeding in a different environment than what Golden walked into.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m talking about walking into there. Richt was an alum, a southeast guy, & had a good record/recruiting at Georgia even though he ended up eventually getting fired. He checked a lot of boxes over Golden at the times of their hires. But ultimately it doesn’t matter as most of their fans want Richt gone now too. He’s probably coaching for his job next year.

Manny Diaz who’s the DC for Miami is gaining steam apparently for the Temple job.

Richt is not built for the Bama era of college football where you have to be a ruthless closer in recruiting. He's too easy go lucky and that's just not going to cut it when you're going up against some of the best recruiters in the country for South Florida talent.

If you take one look at his current class and the holes in it, I can understand why Miami fans want him gone. He has one committed O-lineman and is losing local talent galore. The straw that finally broke the camel's back on his time at UGA was losing Watson to Clemson and fielding non-SEC level offensive lines. I mean he told Deshaun Watson that he should change positions if he wanted a Georgia offer at one point.

I get what you're saying in respect to Miami's administration wanting to distance themselves from their past. We're not even that far removed from the Nevin Shapiro incident.

Yeah I’m not blaming them for wanting him out but I just think their administration is going to find another type like him as I don’t think they’re willing to really get in the mud anymore.

I know the Shapiro thing happened under his tenure but even Randy Shannon was billed as no bs type.
