Van Dyke transferred out, and he had better stats and read progressions better than Sims ever did. The rumor is that one of the backups was in the driver’s seat for next year. I would think Sims would be a backup at Miami.

Troy’s coach to Tulane. The Birmingham Bowl teams are both changing coaches

We just quietly fired two coaches. Key and the rest of the staff probably like and respect them. Their contracts go through January and they’ve been moved into office positions. Maybe they stay as analysts, but I doubt it The answer to pretty much everything is “there’s nothing to share at...

Summary of where we are right now: Tillman and Thacker were shifted from their previous on-field coaching positions to office roles At about the same time—we don’t have a good chronology as far as I know—Football Scoop posted a story with the contents of the first bullet point. Brent Key said...

We had this happen last season during the year. First, we were down a position from firing TFG. Second, we had to fire the RB coach for mysterious reasons. We moved people from advisory or consultant roles to on-field coaching positions for the rest of the season That was a temporary staffing...

Actually, yeah. (he coached just about everything but DL at one point)

The Bills’ offense doesn’t get as much airplay as KC, but it’s deadly in a bunch of a ways, and their QB is really dangerous (in more ways than one). Lots of plays at https://t.co/kZQYXo6JA9

Coordinators usually have a position group too. Buster has the Tight Ends. Thacker as DC had LB for a while.

Enjoy: If you’re an LB, do not enjoy:

That’s a good start. Zach Arnett (ex-MSU head coach) was an LB coach before becoming a DC.

The original story is from Football Scoop https://footballscoop.com/news/sources-georgia-tech-making-major-changes-to-defensive-staff Not much to it, other than the DB coaches are gone. It’s surprising if you just looked at the performance of the different groups (though the DBs didn’t start...

As a “tiebreaker between two equal teams”. Not what was done here. Also, the projections were “there’s no way the SEC gets left out” and if UGA had won, then Bama and Texas would have been out. It’s a fig leaf—let’s not pretend that it’s anything other than a smoke screen.

SOS is a measuring stick, but what measurements you use is only part of being fair. The playoffs need to pick reasonable and fair goals (“the teams that achieve the most against the hardest schedule will be first in line”, for example) They need to be transparent, up front, and not subjective...

You keep bringing up red herrings. Make a set of clear rules Try to make them fair rules Publish them publicly in advance Follow the rules The rules decide—not opinions Don’t use arbitrary or hidden processes Before the first game of the season, everyone should know their path to the CFP. If...

Yeah, this is Boston College with a better offensive coaching staff. We have weeks to prepare, which makes this a little different

There are lots of ways to pick teams. There are lots of reasons to pick UGA over Alabama. We could easily set the criteria so that the loser of the championship game is out, though But having an ad-hoc and inconsistent committee process for selecting teams with vague and subjective rules is...

This rumor has been previously posted. Diaz seems to be a big change of direction from Elko https://footballscoop.com/news/sources-manny-diaz-expected-to-be-next-head-coach-at-duke Edit: wow, same story posted almost in tandem

In the NFL, if two teams were tied by record, they might use head to head as a defined tiebreaker. For the computers polls, they don’t use that as a tiebreaker—they use your overall season, and something like your margin of victory weighted by your strength of schedule. The latter approach...

No. I saw one about the B12 and the ACC both being interested in WSU and Oregon State, but Mountain West is more reasonable https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39020713/oregon-state-washington-state-scheduling-agreement-mountain-west-faq
