..."year 1 of the biggest transition in the history of football?"... Might we assume you have a prescription for that stuff? Or perhaps live in Colorado? Or secretly are the guy in the White House? Because this hyperbole is beyond exaggeration. See, you have a valid point, but having made it...

Whoa. A first for the board. Wins over Georgia don't mean diddly.

Then we disagree. You seem all about external approval. What I want to know is how they performed to capability. I should care what a football coach in Tuscaloosa or a writer in Timbuktu thinks?

Based on his offense from Temple there is an RPO in his spread and his QBs do run. He may talk pro style, but what he will run is the basic vanilla shotgun RPO or zone read offense. (I predict anyway.) Something like UNC ran against Clemson yesterday, but Mack has a doozy of a QB to run it. And...

Just to note it was one of those "I knew it all the time but kept it to myself" things. Tell me when it happens. Not a decade later when it fits the narrative.

I would like to introduce you to the head coach of Georgia Tech. A fellow named Collins. He and he alone is responsible for the product on the field. (And I got to say I am always suspect of a conversation taking place 12 years ago dovetailing so nicely, and for the first time, with today's...

The game seemed to start on time.

On the flip side, Swinney has no problem with his OCs and DC expressing themselves at will.

It is odd, is it not, that the further Navy gets from Johnson's offense -- shotguns, diamonds, spreads, empty backfields -- the worse they do, while Army comes out there with an occasional twist but mostly the basic Johnson spread, and wins 11 games and beats Navy three straight? Niumatalolo...

Then we have a problem. He never stays in one place more than two years.

Seems the FSU fans want Taggert gone almost as much as some on the board already want our OC gone. At least with Taggert there is a track record. Hereabouts we yelp about no offensive line, no depth, no QB, no running backs, wrong kind of offensive linemen, and hereby resolve to fix that by...

I hoped Johnson would retire the year before he did, because the geniuses in that organization decided that Calvin Johnson was hereafter to be an over-the-middle, slant pass possession receiver. They entered their Maserati in a demolition derby. I was stunned to see him get up after being...

That's probably why Southern California, Texas, Miami, etc., can't recruit great players.

That's pretty much inverse to our record. And I ain't figured Duke out yet. It is an imponderable.

He was 10-12 the first two years and 1-7 the third when he got fired. The guy Tech should have hired was Steve Logan, who actually created and ran his offense at ECU.

Okay. Finebaum the cherry picker explains it. Actually I think the last three are relevant, but any explanation of the record has to, in fairness, account for the full tenure and the accomplishments that came in addition to whatever the winning record was. (I saw a piece off an Alabama message...

w1 Odd. I thought Johnson was coach longer than seven years. Was I wrong, factually?

I know he is Clemson and all that, but you got to love the guy. Every summer he loads up his boys and a couple of close friends and they jaunt to various cities where they might play some basketball in Houston, or take batting practice in Yankee Stadium, or just shoot the breeze with major...

I find a difference in "works for" and "sell your soul for". There is plenty of the latter about these days. (And if he is a paid SEC shill, that fact ought to be made clear every time he is on TV. That seems fair not to mention honest: "The following is a paid advertisement for Alabama and the...

Well. Finebaum showers with the home team, this being Alabama, and drinks SEC Koolaid by the 50-gallon drums. He is a guy who started out grudgingly admitting Clemson might, might, have been the better team with a 28-poind win and worked his way into Alabama actually had the better team but was...
