Ahem, I was the one who said he would be announced before the weekend. 😊

Oh I agree!!! I simply meant the NCAA considered it a gray area. Which is why they took back their sanctions.

Yep, when Sankey made disparaging remarks about the other conferences, and gave an ultimatum that the SEC better not be left out of the playoffs, and the ACC commissioner made no public comments, the war was over without a shot being fired.

Yeah, they may hold off a year or two before poisoning his dog.

Absolutely. Regardless of the results tomorrow, I feel good about the future. And, as you and the previous poster have observed, this will be a valuable experience and learning environment. These players have to toughen up sooner or later and this baptism of fire may speed the process. Not...

You’re being rational. I’m talking about Alabama fans.

This game looks lost already. No way Duke loses twice to a struggling team. Don’t mean to be a bad fan but I was counting on winning the last two game to kind of cushion the blow of this one. Our momentum is headed the wrong way and this one isn’t going to help.

Alabama fans after Deboer’s first year following Saban: “He’s just not a good culture fit, not our kind of guy.”

Wow. I wasn’t thinking that far back but can’t believe I overlooked one of the great coaching runs in football. Notre Dame I think had similar runs back in the day.

Clearly this choice was the best among (possible, no good, limited) options but the (lack of experience, spotty previous results, discontent among fans at previous school, lack of seasoning, being too new to coaching at this level, being over the hill) make this a (safe but lackluster...

Me too!!!!!! 💯 Best coach hire I’ve seen in years. But I understand some will be disappointed.

Don’t let him off with that weak sauce.

Forgive me but you are over explaining the obvious. My point is simply that if the role of the NCAA is to protect student athletes (I’m not saying that is their role) then anything that causes a student athlete harm while they are under the care of a school’s athletic department would fall into...

Remember when Miami had their run of national championships? They actually hired 3 great head coaches in a row. I would be hard pressed to think of another college team that has had that run of success hiring head coaches. Someone on here may be able to give other examples. Alabama has had a...

That did not work out at Tech when Dodd hung around as AD.

Perfect symmetry.

Sorry. I must have lost my head for a moment.

This ⬆️ It was a ridiculous catch 22.

Got it. “Institutions that are out of control” is not the same as “lack of institutional control.” So, ultimately, the job of the NCAA is not strictly about protecting student athletes. I’m not arguing with you. You are correct. But it just makes the hypocrisy seem worse.
