I think you’re on to something here. Maybe we can convince 7 or 8 schools to leave with us... we’ll be on board right up until the time to sign the dotted line... then we welch, stay ACC, collect $770m-$880m in exit fees from them, plus the additional annual revenue and just point and laugh at...

I agree the comparison of records is not particularly nuanced, but it’s not to be altogether dismissed either. Saying Duke and Pitt are bad teams isn’t necessarily untrue, but I’m pretty sure the Collins led team would’ve lost to one, if not both of them. I wouldn’t expect Key to be “light...

What we were chalking up preseason is 100% irrelevant... and that was before we saw Duke play a single down of football (much less, start 4-1). Collins led GT team does not beat that Duke team. No doubt in my mind. Pitt is certainly under achieving, but again, Collins’ Jackets don’t win that...

This was true before the Big12 deal. It’s just getting sensationalized now. ACC is hamstrung by a long term deal. At the time, it seemed like a good one. For a brief moment, the ACC was pulling slightly more than other conferences. The problem is that it greatly undervalued FUTURE media and...

here’s the short answer; the decision wasn’t made in order to be better under Key. The decision was made in order to get better, period. The fact that we were almost immediately better under Key is telling (damning). We weren’t going to magically be a good football team this year, but we almost...

Honestly, if you’re focused on limiting negative recruiting you’re not only fighting a losing battle, you’re in the wrong war. Negative recruiting is going to happen, period. Kids are going to come play for a program and a staff they believe in. They’re coming for playing time, success and...

That’s right... I think we seriously underestimated the future value of media. I would suspect that our deal is undervalued today, and in the next 3-5 years will be dramatically undervalued. It’s not worth BIG or SEC money, but it’s worth more than we’re getting. The long term deal was a bad...

I’m with you! Looking forward to enjoying the sports side of it again... I pay very little attention to garbage like this when teams are fun and exciting to watch. “Ws” usually make me worry less about all of those other initials like GOR and NIL and such....

Well, I’m not sure what you mean by “one -sided” because everyone is exactly equal and everything has to be unanimous... it’s quite the opposite of one-sided in that regard. I suppose if you’re on the side of wanting out... But to answer your question; when it was signed, it was not only...

I wouldn’t call it “devolving.”

Maybe, just maybe, the part we ought to be debating is “very near future.” I certainly understand why our patience has worn thin, but this place is like a toddler on a road trip! To the rest of the world, the “very near future” could mean a full week, or Lord help us, more than just one! ;)

This is a very strange exchange of comparisons... I’ll just say that if we were to get into the beer during the evaluation of interviewees, I am sure the 9th and 10th candidates would be pretty compelling. I would likely find candidates 1-4 to be dull, candidate 5 arrogant, 6&7 would be...

I did a double take. Had to make sure this was a current post. We used to blame A Back motion for doing this when we were failing to block people too... I think it may be more a function of just getting pushed around up front. Guys are standing in our backfield because we're slow off the...

At least the sequence bodes well for the next guy... so we’ve got that going for us.

And my problem really is not at all with anything you state here. My problem is with the people who were using what you say above as an excuse for everything we have (and continue) to see. We did nothing to help ourselves during the 4-5 year period we needed to incubate those five OL studs. We...

It wasn’t long ago that people were complaining about what we were trying to do offensively and screaming that there were better ways to play to our strength. Why wasn’t the portal used more productively? Why are we so badly mismanaging our personnel? The response was that there was nothing we...

Of course you’re right and of course that has to change. It would seem that it already has, to some degree. It’s going to take a little longer than 3 weeks to undo what has been done. I feel a lot better about today’s staff handling the attitudes, egos, and accountability aspects of things...

I’m of the mindset that we hire someone who is well versed in duties and requirements of the position we’re hiring. If I’m being sold on his recruiting, branding, former associations, or (fill in the blank), I’m assuming it’s because there is very little coaching acumen to sell. That means I’m...

Duke defied odds against Miami today... About 1:48 in the video

Three undefeated teams look to go down so far today...
