"The worst coaching mistake in the history of college football"? To Alabama fans it was the hiring of Ray Perkins or JD "Ears" Whitworth, to UGA fans it was Ray Goff or the guy that followed Wally Butts, to Florida fans it was Mullins or Champ or Zook, but for my money (and his) it was Texas...

We had 66 yards total offense in the second half, until the game clinching drive which was a Paul Johnson Death March. Others were calling for a final try at a touchdown at the end. I disagree. There was no point in rubbing it in on a coach likely to get fired and that is NOT who we are as a...

Good points but disagree about the front 7. The problem is not so much coaching although it probably a contributing factor as it is a lack of speed, conditioning, talent, across the board. The line backers are historically bad and the line is awful. We look fat and slow compared to Clemson's...

The only real remedy for our defense is more depth and more talent especially in the front 7. These linebackers are the worst in living memory. We are giving up 32 points a game. Hard to win games at that rate. Fixing this will take time.

There isn't one. The deck is stacked against us far beyond what Dodd faced with calculus textbooks being left at recruits' homes by rival teams.

Well, that helps for sure but Liberty's ranking is not nearly as outrageous as UGA's schedule ranking of 60. A team full of NFL prospects with five stars scattered throughout the three deep should be playing a schedule at least as demanding as say Alabama at number 4 or Ole Miss or even poor...

Alabama was cheated out of a national championship in 1966 because of the civil rights controversy. A book was written that clearly detailed that bias. It was called "The Missing Ring". That was some football team. They had six shutouts and absolutely destroyed Nebraska in the Orange Bowl...

The NCAA is full of crap. That team was undefeated and had six (count em) All Americans of one kind or another. They awarded that championship to Michigan State who only played 9 games and did not go to a bowl.

Very true. Most of those 400,000 jobs created last month were part time and snapped up by people who already had a full time job. For Jimbo and others like him it is indeed a great country for the unwashed masses not so much. IIWII

I think all that alcohol has served to increase the ability of what few cells you have remaining after a lifetime of serious drinking. I say this as a lifelong abstainer so take it with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Let me get my feeble brain wrapped around this. Texas A&M is paying Jimbo $70 million dollars to not coach? $70,000,000 is that right? Is this a great country or what?

It would seem that the bigger the better or is it? Parker Braun was an All ACC lineman for Coach Johnson. I once spent half the game on a replay watching just him as much as possible. It was astonishing how quick that guy was at a mere 285 pounds. The ball would be snapped and by the time...

Now that is not nice...funny, but still not nice.

Hard to tell but it looks like they are in military uniforms, sort of like ROTC?

$5,000 in Florala, Alabama is a fortune. The head coach probably did not get much more than that above his teaching salary. They did make the playoffs one year and got to the quarterfinals which was a highwater mark for that program. I think the coach got a $100 bonus and a new weight room...

Hey, at some programs a get back coach is a big deal. My church had a pastor once who coached at tiny Florala Alabama high school as a community coach while pastoring the local Presbyterian church. He was paid $100 a week during the football season to do three things: Serve as team chaplain...

Congratulations are in order as you have articulated succinctly the difference between the HAVES of college football and the HAVE NOTS. The gulf is getting wider by the minute.

The gap between the elite football factories and ordinary college programs, likened to the difference between reasonably competent amatures and professionals, continues to widen.

Agreed but our offensive line was absolutely manhandled yesterday. Skill positions are not the immediate need. Linemen and more linemen but they are as rare as hen's teeth and not likely to come to Tech oven ready. They must be recruited, nurtured, and made into power five linemen that can...

"The Portal is a good bulk of our offense." Maybe that is what is wrong with it. Getting good linemen from the portal has been particularly difficult.
