The Elephant in the Room Part II

[Texzilla]

I read it.  I don't agree.  He had a risky history.  But everyone knew the could coach.

At the time, Kiffin was really risky.  He wasn't the coach his is today nor was he as stable a person.  He was the guy with a sewage treatment plant named after him. Fired on tarmac at usc.  Exiled by Saban.  I had the same view of drunkass Sarkisian.  Never would have dreamed he would be vying for a NC at Texas.  His team is a machine.

It shows the greatness of Saban in his coaches rehab program.

my posts had nothing to do with pittman. it's a fact that ole miss and their fans spent the money even after a late season collapse and arkansas fans have made excuses not to. 

This is the important part.

[The Whyte Boar]

This is the important part.

No it isn't.  It's entirely about Pittman.

Indiana will regret this. Ask Florida State.

8 fucking years.  $72 mill.  I bet it's a standard buyout.  I wouldn't give any coach an 8 year contract, especially the way the game is rapidly evolving.  Who knows what it will look like in 2032?  One great fucking year in a disruptive Big10 year gets a contract like that is extreme stupidity.  They will have issues as Michigan and the pac10 teams recover.  Guarantee sexton will be pushing yuri for an extension and raise for beating LaTech.

Yeah, he deserved a new contract, but that is a little insane, especially at a school that is not a football money machine.

That is cheap, who is his agent?
Big Ten $$$ plus donations and such, wonder how much is guaranteed and what the buyout is.

In SEC home games we're about to go 1-3 on the season.  In all games at RRS, assuming a win next week, we'll be 3-3.

1-3 with a cumulative margin of -61.

But people keep going on about Pittman but his contract is super good compared to what it will take to hire someone presently considered "good"

hell, there are fans who think we can get someone good for less than pittman is being paid.

I bet we wouldn't do much worse at half what we're paying him.

well if you're goal is to be not that much worse, then sure.

Not my point. At all.

SMU is headed to the playoffs.

Tell me again about the advantages of playing in the SEC.

[DirkPiggler]

SMU is headed to the playoffs.

Tell me again about the advantages of playing in the SEC.

If they win the ACC title game.

If not, they'll be in a minor bowl. 

Meanwhile Ole Miss and at least three other SEC teams will be in the playoff.

OK, tell us the advantage of US being in the SEC.

[DirkPiggler]

OK, tell us the advantage of US being in the SEC.

Money.

Success in the other sports. 


I'd rather be one of 16 teams playing for 4-5 spots in the playoff than one of 17 playing for a single spot.
