You can't rely on the competitive nature to rival the NFL. In the NFL they have salary caps, and drafts to create parity, along with relatively equal compensation for coaches. College Football will never attempt to do that. Tennessee hasn't gotten within three TDs of Alabama in 6 years. They...

I think you are equating marquee matchups with school names alone, which doesn’t really work. Some of the teams in the new super league are now going to be bad teams. If a 3-7 Florida team plays a 2-8 Penn State team, nobody is going to care. Ooh, 1-9 Tennessee is playing 4-6 Texas. How...

I think fans are tired of the same teams winning. The last two national championship games have been the lowest rated games in the CFP or BCS era. Last years title game had 12 million less viewers on average than the first title game of the CFP era.

I think this structure somewhat makes sense, but im not entirely sure how we get from where we are today to that. You would have to convince every tier 2 school to willingly blow up their current conference contracts and accept less money. Why would they do that? Im also not sure how the...

If we are going to be a P5 athletics program then the cost of firing coaches should be something we can absorb. If we can't then we should reassess our desire and ability to compete at this level.

CPJ had an offer from Duke when he took the job with us. He likely would have ended up there had we not come calling.

True. The guys who are making the decisions have done a great job with it.

I mean, if you want to go into Clemson's OL troubles or depth issues that is fine but this started with you claiming their team was ravaged by the transfer portal when in reality they really only lost people who weren't contributing that much. On the OL in particular they lost one player who was...

Do you honestly think the reason that Addison transferred was because of the loss of his QB and not the 2-3 million that was reportedly being offered to him?

Ajou - Caught 6 passes as a Sophomore. Ladsen - Caught 4 passes as a Junior. Jones - Quality player. Ill give you that one although it was last year. Tchio - Played in less than half of Clemson's games. I'm not sure this meets the level of ravaged by the portal. I think Clemson will be ok.

Im not really convinced they would have stayed even if we had won. Jermaine Burton and Jordan Addison didn't transfer due to lack of winning. It's a money game now. Unless we want to significantly compete in the new college football free agency market we are going to lose some of our best...

Who have they lost that they care about losing? For the top teams, the transfer portal is just an easier way to process kids. Alabama has lost 20 kids to the portal this year alone. Think they care?

How many points do you think we are going to score against Clemson?

Clemson scored 30+ points in 5 of their last 6 games last year even with poor QB play. We will likely have to hold them to single digits to even have a chance.

Didn't say that at all. Kid could be a complete bust like you seem to expect and he will have competition at the position, I just don't think he fits the bill of guys who were struggling to get playing time. One question though. Do you think the transfer class we brought in is better than the...

Trigg was a true freshman who missed half of the season due to injury and played behind two upper classmen. With all of that going on he had three less yards and one more TD than our leading TE. Not sure he is the best example to use. He wasn't struggling to get playing time before he got injured.

Ole Miss added 9 four star transfers, including two studs at QB and RB. They are going to be a good offensive team, we just have to hope it isnt clicking yet by the time they play us. No clue what to expect from UVA and Pitt.

There probably isn't a number of games that would have gotten CPJ fired after 2017. He had enough good will built up from the 2014 and 2016 seasons to survive pretty much anything. He actually got an extension after 2017 even after a mediocre year by our former standards. The key theme there is...

I don't know what Garrett's feelings were after the 2017 season but there is a pretty big difference in winning 5 games after a 9 win season vs winning 5 games after 9 wins in three years. If Collins wants to win 9 this year with a win over UGA and 5 next year im sure the conversation will be...

I am not. I am just a simple guy who based on public statements by major donors does not think they will be happy with 5 wins in year 4.
