NCAA thread v5.0

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t really care. It essentially worked itself out this year in the end. This is probably the least controversial finish we’ve had to this point.

Georgia, Oregon, Penn State, Wisconsin, Utah, etc. all lost a game they probably shouldn’t have otherwise they could have made an argument.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Rose - Oregon vs. Wisconsin
Sugar - Georgia vs. Baylor
Orange - Florida vs. Virginia
Cotton - Penn State vs. Memphis

That’s the NY6 lineup.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Alabama vs. Michigan in the Citrus.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The committee didn’t punish anybody but Utah for losing in a CCG. They lost handily & went 0-2 against top 25 teams in the playoffs rankings.

Lol. Only people watching that Cotton bowl will be psu and Memphis fans.

Michigan/Alabama will probably draw the biggest ratings outside of the playoff but there’s probably going to be quite a few players on both sides sitting that one out.

Memphis....bleh

We are going to tommygun our bird diarrhea all over every patio in Pasadena. Sco Ducks!

Haha Utah sucks.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This is why that clown school fans should have kept our name out of their mouth.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Memphis....bleh

I honestly rather play the better teams like we did with USC & Washington over Kentucky & Memphis. There’s really no winning scenario with the latter group. You win & you beat a team you should. You lose & it’s how to do you lose to a team like that.

Nike paid off the committee for a lesser opponent.

Edit: Quoted wrong post, can't fix on the phone.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

It's OK, I will just send my chickens over to tommygun diarrhea on your patio.

Sweet baby Jesus take Ricky Rhane.

Apparently this has legitimate legs to it now. Best way to get rid of an OC without taking on the negative PR of a firing for all parties involved.

I don’t think the guy is as awful as Penn State fans harp on but I don’t think he’s good enough to take that next step either. Analytically the offense was still graded top 20 overall by most ratings. A 10-2 team too. So from a PR standpoint it’s not easy to just outright fire a guy like that.

Obviously there’s personal relationship between him & Franklin going way back too that probably would have made a firing harder. Rahne can move down a level & not have a black mark alongside his name giving him a chance to move back up with some growth.

@flyershockey I know he’s been one of your if not the best recruiters over the year’s but this has to be awful for a HC hire right?

Arkansas is desperate. The best they can hope for is a CEO type that is personable like Ed O. or Dabo. He's never been anything more than an OL coach.

Honestly, he's an elite recruiter. But the results didn't add up this year. Two first round picks at tackle. 4 and 5 star guards and center, but the run game regressed a lot this year. The numbers were there, but it was mainly Swift and Herrien just being better than the defenders in pursuit. They may take a step back in OL recruiting, but the X's and O's could get better with another hire.

I hear you. It’s like Florida State to a lesser degree. Fair or not firing coaches in less than two years probably doesn’t help the perception to coaches with other legitimate options. Not to say Morris & Taggart were good but there’s probably more issues at play than just them with both jobs currently.

It certainly is, but at least a coach can win at FSU. Arkansas is a bit like being at Rutgers. No local recruiting base. Far less resources than any other team in conference. And no shot of beating 3-4 teams in the division every year.

Arkansas obviously didn't want this one to end up like Tennessee last year where they struck out a bunch of times before getting someone to agree to the job. So they went ahead and gave the job to a guy who should have been about the 50th option lol.

@Captain Dave Poulin

Should hold out for something better honestly. Spend another year in North Carolina and see what dominoes fall next year.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Who knows how it ends up but I would say it could be a good hire. He comes from Scott Satterfield’s coaching tree who was a really good coach at App State previously now at Louisville. Not a big sample size of being a HC but at least it was pretty good in that sample.

I don’t think you guys really had to fire Barry Odom in the first place though.

 

[flyershockey]

The Odom firing is another example of a college program overrating their standing in the college football landscape. If competing for conference championships was their goal, then they shouldn't have jumped to the SEC in the middle of its heyday. Georgia and Florida weren't going to be down in the East forever.
