The NEXT Coach

[DirkPiggler]

There goes Beamer's move to VT.  I guess he better win.

Don't think this is a done deal yet.  Way too early.  Doesn't make sense for Franklin to move this early when other jobs are likely to open.

Can you imagine how big of a raise Kiffin is going to get out of this?

[HTL]

Franklin should not be hireable.

[TC]

Why would he want $10 mil a year?  It would just come out of his guaranteed Penn St money, he'd make the same.

Smart move by Franklin is to take a low salary and create a giant assistant (and possibly NIL) pool and let Penn State keep paying him

Great point that I didn't think about with some of these guys who got fired with substantial buyouts. Take a lower salary and use the rest to put together a dream team of coordinators/former head coaches.

Yet, apparently Franklin said fuck it give me more money than my buyout will pay me.

Franklin should not be hireable.

By those standards neither should Kelly, Petrino, Petino, Meyer, or even Hogville's favorite, Gruden. While we're at it, what did Kendall know and when?

At some point you're gonna have to make some tough decisions about your "principles" when it comes to your sports coaches.

I'm good with looking at guys at low level schools.

Indiana hired Cignetti out of JMU.
Ohio State hired Tressel out of Youngstown State.

Find someone with several years of top level success at a low level school.

Chesney at James Madison

Chesney at James Madison

Would be a smart hire.

However, the money folks are calling the shots and they want a name.

Simmons at Harding.

Seems the smarter thing to do is hire smart, don't overpay, which is what will happen if we get a name, and put more towards nil.

Simmons at Harding.

I can get on board with that. Winners win. Remember when Chip Kelly was at New Hampshire? Neither does anyone else.

Chad won big in high school. 

[Show-Me Hog]

Chad won big in high school. 

So did Gerry Faust.

[Son of Spam]

So did Gerry Faust.

And Gus.

[Show-Me Hog]

And Gus.

Well Gus has had a hell of a lot more college success than Chad (vomit) or Gerry Faust.

Rhett Lashlee's wiki bio says this.

Lashlee played college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Lashlee was a backup quarterback to Matt Jones, from 2002 to 2004 for the Razorbacks.

Since I follow the Razorbacks as much as anyone and don't remember him AT ALL (like, not even a tickle in the back of the brain), I looked up his stats.

2002 – no stats
2003 – 2 GP, 1 passing attempt
2004 – no stats


Does this count as playing college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks 2002-2004?
