Auburn doesn't do this? Or, do the Plainsmen just depend upon "Yella Fella" to pour millions into a lost cause? Lost in the sense of usurping the Tide in the Yellowhammer state.

"I've got my man." Indeed. I think what he mean to say was that "My man has got me." Rolled faster than a drunk UGA fan at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville.

Excellent points. Unfortunately, that is precisely the kind of thinking used by the powers that be following Derek Dooly time at Tennessee. Another bad hire followed and before you knew it they had a real mess on their hands even with all the advantages that Tech could only dream about.

RIP Coach Gaines. Early onset Alzheimer's. Tragic at age 73.

I resent that...oh, you said "corpse" not "ghost". Carry on then.

I will. I disagree with that premise because I believe we were scammed with a gullible and trusting AD who will likely lose his job and career as a result. If getting $10 million is not playing the long game to perfection, I don't know what is. There were a lot of posters who run businesses...

No one knows but I would venture to guess that the damage done to the football program will take his successors five years or more to fix. This has a Tennessee/Nebraska lost decade feel to it. That said, a really great hire with sharp assistants might be able to mitigate the damage and the...

All of this is true...but on the other hand there are examples that abound of successful coaches coming home to their alma mater. Johnny Majors at Tennessee, Bear Bryant at Alabama, Steve Spurrier at Florida, Gene Stallings at Alabama, Mario Christobal at Miami Well, maybe scratch that one if...

Didn't look like it last Saturday. Maybe they will change their minds this week.

I understand the offensive line is young but very few of these portal guys have worked out and the excuses have begun to wear more than a little thin. Four years is plenty of time to recruit linemen and get them ready to play. On Coach Johnson's first team he had a walk on defensive tackle...

I am not that familiar with UCF but when O'Leary was the coach they played UGA in a bowl game and let me tell you he had those boys ready to play ball. They whipped the Dwags up and down that field. But then, George always had a soft spot for the Mutts (TIC)

No. Why bother? The players are not playing, the coaches aren't coaching, the fans are not doing much of anything except bitching but they do that any way.

If they like him so much, they can start playing ball. There is no way of knowing the true sentiment on a team like this.

In the preseason win poll, I was trying to be magnanimous by picking 4 wins. It was probably off by one but we will see.

Most, though by no means all, of this program's problems at present can be attributed to that contract. Geoff took us to the cleaners it would appear.

Pretty reasonable except that the moon will fall out of the sky before this team runs the table on all five of those teams, winnable or not. Secondly, I don't know about Coach Collins but so far as "throwing in the towel" well, that towel has already been tossed in the ring by the players and...

That is about the only thing about him that is "elite". The ability to wheedle money out of suckers. He's good, very good.

In my opinion, FWIW (not much according to my wife) the best day of the game, sideline, whatever you want to call him, coaches have been Dodd, Ross, O'Leary, (with Ralph) and Johnson. You better have a decided edge in talent because if you didn't those guys would beat you, one way or another.

At one point, can't say it was Roof as it could just as well been Al Groh, Coach Johnson complained that"... we look like we don't know what we are doing." I shudder to think what he would have said about Thacker. Blistered the walls probably.

Well, he had just left Mississippi State and they had an interim coordinator who, as I recall, was the defensive backs coach. They had good players on defense particularly in the line but it was just too much JT5 and PJ. The two of them were about 5 moves ahead of the poor soul tasked to...
