Paul Johnson time frame.

As a non alum how would the alums on here feel about adding an easier degree path that you could hide athletes in? This may have been addressed here before, so forgive me if it has already been answered.

Also I think that if/when CPJ goes the president should follow shortly after. Seems like every year there is a different scandal centered around research or academia.

1) Paul Retire/Fire
2) Fire Peterson
3) Fire Danny Hall....but that is a story for another day.

Most alums ive spoken to have said they would have no problem creating some easier academic paths for athletes

after 169 pages I'm thinking I would rather argue about uniforms and navy blue.

That would certainly get Supersize more involved in the thread,

who is the best offensive mind in college football and More than not I’ve heard lane KIFFIN

You have lost touch with reality. Please seek help.

Bobby Petrino is available

If we are only talking about offense, I'd probably take Petrino.

Ole swing pass Kiffin is not the guy for me.

Good read.
Definitely applies to GT right now.

Lame Kiffin is very good at developing quarterbacks but there are other head coaches out there who are as good as he is running offenses.

I'm sure this is a waste of keystrokes, but here goes:

Look at your average recruiting rankings.
Look at your average offensive metrics.

If the system provides no advantage, they should be exactly the same.

Are they the same? (I'll give you a hint, they're not).

So, if it's not the system, to what do you attribute the difference?

The detractors will just claim the offensive ratings are skewed by beating bad teams (which they don't realize strength of schedule is taken into account for efficiency metrics).

I'm amazed how many teenagers would rather watch "Overwatch" than traditional sports.

The production quality of esports has become better than the lower tier games. A season Overwatch match is much higher quality than some of the Raycom broadcasts we had this year.

Good read but the ones who want CPJ won't stop

Great article.

And to the text chain of Duke alums that I may or may not be a part of, those who are questioning David Cutcliffe’s stewardship of the Blue Devils football program: Stop. Stop right now.

I didn't know this was a thing. Duke would be pretty stupid to remove him. But maybe with how much they are now spending in football (more than us...), they think they can do better. I guess that was the point of the article though, be careful what you wish for.

I think Coach Cut will retire sooner rather than later and he will exit in that manner

It'd be a disservice if he didn't get a statue there at some point.

I legitimately hate the dude, but what he has done with their program speaks for itself.

I agree, but it's not up to us or the AA or even the Hill.

I agree and i think when Coach Cut retires Duke will go back to the 1-3 win level they were before Coach Cut was hired

And Larry Fedora said that wasn’t a fight. You can see 5 different people throwing punches. Something is just wrong with that guy.

It was time for Larry to go I think someone will hire him in a couple of years
