So stupid.  $8 years. $92 million.  Why does one negotiate such a stupid 8 year deal in the era of nil and the portal with a 64 year old coach.  WTF will college ball even look like in five years? 

No doubt he's going to shit the bed in a couple years and they'll want him fired, but will IU have $45 mil for a buyout.  Stupid.

The problem is EVERYBODY expects to be able to win 7-8 a year (even us) but the effects of games on records is always going to be 50-50.  Couple that with "you are making millions so you should do better NOW" and you will get the constant churn forever.
Splash 11! drop ABE track, too confusing

How interesting that James Franklin gets fired and lots of speculation where that shitbag is going.  But not one peep about our fired shitbag Sam sniffing another job.

Why is that interesting? They are not the same level of coach. Did you need that to happen, to know that? Or do you still feel the need to troll Sam even after he's gone?

Because Pittman has said that this job would be his last and then he'd retire. That's why.

No one would hire him as a head coach again even if he wasn't retiring.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Penn State is crazy. Dude just won two playoff games.

Heard today that a majority of the board is behind BMFP...that the number of wins needed is lower than we thought.   Think 2.

I don't give a fuck if he doesn't win any. If they show fight and toughness and continue to put up big offensive numbers he should be the man.

I don't remember who it was that said it on the .net but they pretty much predicted that Petrino would return.

That was part of what I heard.   First number was 2 wins, then equivocated to "as long as we show improvement."

We damn near pulled it off against a good Tennessee team in Knoxville.  That's improvement enough for me.

Barring a complete collapse for the rest of the season the job is his, imo.

That won't stop the blue hairs and other idiots from stomping their feet about him after every loss this year though.

I want Bobby to get the gig becuase he never should have lost it.

As a bonus, I want HTL to be mad about it.

I want BP to earn the gig back by winning some games to finish the season. Otherwise agree he should have never been run oft to begin with or at least not for an affair with a lady friend who happened to be working closely under him.
