You cannot wait until that January date. That is absolutely not possible. You'll be behind every single other coaching search, you won't have any recruiting class, you'll lose any chance to play the transfer portal, you'll be fighting for scraps for the staff for whatever also-ran coach you...

It looks like there was an amendment dealing with COVID-19. Check section 2.4.

Yeah, so it doesn't matter if we fire him now or sometime later in the season. We cannot wait until January 1st for this for a wealth of reasons, so there really isn't a good reason to wait.

Traylor is a Texas guy. Might be a bit of a Texas version of Collins, but he's got proof of concept at UTSA. I really don't know if we can pull him away, and even if we did I see him at either TAMU or UT-Austin first chance he gets.

I'd argue Kansas was far more dead than we are. Problem with Leipold in my opinion is his age: he's already 58.

Lebby could work. ODU's guy is interesting, worth watching. The Virginia area is full of talent. He can use his staff to beef up Georgia connections. I tend to think area-fits are largely over-rated: get a good coach and they'll make the right connections. Chadwell is still tops in my...

2018 VT stands out. Always loved watching PJ spam one play for 8+ yards and seeing a defense want to claw their eyes out.

Contract has to be an open record, right? Anyone able to find the actual contract?

Hm, maybe I misheard. The FTRS podcast is supposed to get into it as well, we'll see what they find. Contracts can be confusing. If it is just the Jan 1 date, then it really doesn't make sense why we don't can him now.

From my understanding (various readings, both here and elsewhere), on Dec 1 the 2023 season drops off the buyout, and on Jan 1 the buyout changes from 100% of the remaining years to something less, like 50 or 75%. Steven Godfrey (@38godfrey, hosts Split Zone Duo) did a subscriber's podcast...

This is accurate. There are two buyout dates to be concerned with: one drop on Dec 1, and another on Jan 1. If we are firing him before next season, and it's readily apparent that we have to at this point, the Jan 1 date is out. That's way too late to put together a staff, salvage a...

He wasn't that successful at Temple. They were 20-7 over the prior two season with Matt Rhule with their worst loss being to a good Army team. Collins went 15-10, with some awful losses (namely, to UConn and Villanova).

I think the takeaway is different if Klubnik played the whole game. DJ clearly isn't playing great in that offense, and I think that masked some of our defensive issues. I don't think we'll know if the defense is actually better until we see Ole Miss in week 3.

It's clear that money is a necessary but not sufficient condition for success. You can compete occasionally with a team making about 20% more than you, but you can't compete long-term against a team that makes double you're budget, especially when that advantage compounds.

I think at this point he is what he is.

The fundamental issues I think are pretty clear and obvious as a problem. It really doesn't matter if we have the greatest coach in the universe, we aren't going to compete while they are spending 10 times what we are, when their lowest ranked recruit is better than our best, when their coaching...

Bit of a weird complaint. This type of thing happens all the time in every state. It's a mostly meaningless PR thing that takes no time for the governor to do.

Jamey Chadwell at Coastal Carolina. Might need to get him to shave the mullet off, but that's a fantastic coach that runs a very unique and fun offense.

It's probably more that transfers are usually not staying at their old school for a reason.

That was a fascinating experiment to follow. They basically imported their entire passing attack, from QB, top 3 or 4 receivers, and coordinator, from Houston Baptist.
