Another question that comes to mind - timing. I don’t generally follow the coaching carousel with other schools, so I have no real idea how the timing works. If we’re seriously setting our sights on someone like Riley as our first choice, and waiting on him to say no before we pursue others -...

This is what I keep considering. On one hand, dude has nave held the title of an OC. OTOH, as a former championship QB, you generally don’t get to that point without studying the game and understanding how to pick apart what the defense is throwing at you. The rest of his background - and the...

Back to Bryce Koon, we all should remember - as a journalist, your sources are paramount. But as a commentator/columnist (which is essentially what many of the “journalists” at 247 are), your job is to have a hot take. I don’t know the guy, and his sources may be legitimate - but I certainly...

This. As I evaluated candidates in my mind, I played a lot of “what’s the worst that could happen?” This is why Deion was a non-starter for me from the beginning. We can’t risk our program on a high risk, high reward candidate right now. We don’t have a savings account to bail us out if it...

Tom Covington and Ken Swilling's take on the hire and the end of the season: (The podcast is about an hour, so give yourself time if you're interested in listening.)

Just a rumor. His Wikipedia page had been updated to show him as Nebraska Co-DC as of 2023 - which I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a troll. (But still - if anyone would want to be the first to update their own Wikipedia page upon getting a new job, pretty sure it would be TFG.)

I reviewed the contract earlier this week, and found out...it was not. That's right, folks. We're going to be paying TFG the whole amount of the contract, whether he's working for someone else or not.

Eh...Ndamukong Suh's era blackshirts might take issue with that assessment. :)

My wife is a Cornhusker...and rumor has it he-who-shall-not-be-named may be tapped as Co-DC at Nebraska next year. She's pretty up in arms about "If I see and of that "MONEY DOWN" sh!t on our sidelines, so help me God..."

I voted "Other." If only because I didn't have a first choice for HC. There were a lot of candidates I thought could have done a great job - each having negatives to them as well. Chadwell - up-and-coming, successful, but we didn't want his defense (and he might be interested in somewhere...

It bothers me that O'Leary wanted to expand the stadium by almost 30%, when we didn't have the crowds to fill it. And the AD agreed. And every AD since then has made at least 1 asinine hire - or a decent hire with an asinine contract. That's the problem. The symptom is us not being able to...

I hope I'm invited as an honorary member. If not, is there a "Juice Crew" opening? (...I'll show myself out.)

That's the only thing I can think of. He and Ace had comparable amounts of tackles, and he was more often the story than Ace.

From another thread...

Wasn't as good at Nebraska. From my in-laws, seemed to be because he didn't factor in the wind on the plains to his scheme. That's sunk OCs before in Lincoln. It's tough to run an offense that relies heavily on passing with 30mph winds coming in at least 3 games of the year. Point being, I'd be...

Hey, I'm game. I said "Other - whomever the AD chooses, I'll support." Playing it safe FTW. :)

Yeah, agreed with all the sentiment. I think Ace may have gotten a bump from awareness of him at both GT and Maryland...or perhaps Charlie Thomas getting so many targeting calls was a strike against him? Either way, if you had asked me at the stat of the season, I would not have predicted this...

Agreed. There is something to be said (that I don't know that we value here enough) for the intangibles. It's not so much that he's a "Tech man" - that seems like an old, outdated way of looking at it through loyalty, rather than merit. Instead, it's that he can speak with heart about Tech...

The 2022 All-ACC team has been announced. https://theacc.com/news/2022/11/29/athlete-awards-clemson-leads-with-12-selection-to-all-acc-football-teams.aspx Congrats to these Jackets on leading us to a great year!

It may not send the greatest message, if we're looking at it through the lens of an arms race. And that may be the game we want to play. But doing that would require us to either raise a ton more money to divert to escalating salaries (and not paying down our debt), and that might also make us...
