When you say "HGF" you could be saying Hyundai Grant Field. It's more succinct to say "Budweiser" but not everyone gets that.

As an individual performance HK did great. It's hard to tell what he's doing to get the rest of the team to click, but I think he earned some credibility if he sees fit to get in the faces of some other position groups.

Red zone defense was respectable. Punting ok. I think the offense could make the argument that they would have done better if they hadn't had a little help from the defense overall and kicking. Haynes King took more hits than you'd probably want if the defense could be relied upon.

I was never real sure Deion Sanders would be a good choice for head coach. Seeing this thread and seeing news reports from CU, I think Key is the better choice for GT. Nothing personal against Sanders, and Colorado might end up doing fine, but Key is the better fit for us.

It really seems as if the realignment is focusing on football money. I'd argue it is in the interest of the megaconferences, schools, and other sports to depart from tying all sports to the football conference. A separate system of men's basketball conferences ought to allow a better regular...

In parallel with conference realignment there might be opportunities to improve the value of non-conference games. With added fluidity of rosters it's harder to predict what will be a good matchup two to three years out. Suppose in something like week 10 of each season every team is scheduled a...

Bennett needs all the whispers he can get right now.

Iirc we had a pretty decent place-kicker and punter when ** was hired and they both left the team in his first season. Reportedly over being told they had to keep earning the job in practice. Who knows. But it seems like any momentum from Butker and Harvin days left with them.

I would rather have a good-but-not-deluxe OC and put the balance of money into #1 top flight special teams staff and #2 a deeper bench of position coaches, strength and conditioning, analysts, media people.

There are some question marks on this guy but he has a lot to offer for a 37 yo currently making Sun Belt coordinator wages. He claims to have learned from the failures at Arkansas and who knows how much of that was him and how much was Chad Morris.

Joe Craddock current OC at Troy. I don't know what happened at Arkansas but he has tore it up before and after that. This was his first year at Troy but it's hard to imagine he's not looking for a bigger program again.

One reason I like team sports is the microcosm for studying things that apply outside of sports as well. Salary is just one incentive you can offer a staff. Another one that works especially well on a coaching staff is development and advancement opportunities. HCBK hasn't got a coaching tree...

What's taught in BUD/S and what managers are willing to pay a consultant to tell them are two entirely different things.

I have a theory that I may have shared here before. In athletes, coaches, business hires intrinsic talent is important but we give it too much weight, like you can line everyone up from best to worst and it's absolute. In this way of thinking, when a hire or a draft pick performs way over or...

As an underdog of such a magnitude you can't win without taking big risks. Obviously you have to be disciplined to extend possessions and avoid big mistakes. But you have to make big positive plays, and you can only make them if you take risks. The play calling and the athletes' on-field...

Hoping the uva loss was a matter of starting fsu prep early. Three weeks should be enough.

GT is a unique place academically. It's rigorous but not in a self-absorbed intellectual way. It has held on to the idea of driving industrial competence long after most other universities became ends unto themselves. It would be really sad to see its character poisoned for cheap athletic wins...
