I’d take that in a heartbeat. Pre-concussion Ash was the real deal. Mack should be cursed for what he did to David Ash.
Yeah, because they’re the only program that schedules easy ones at the front end.
Have to wonder if this can become a viable model for the schools that can’t get a Saban/Smart/Dabo. The problem is that when a guy like that moves on, he takes his talent (players and coaches) with him-doesn’t exactly build a foundation.
I wonder what Deion’s end game is. If he’s successful at Colorado, he’ll be gone in 3 years. Is he looking for the SEC, or FSU, or the NFL?
Drew Allar put to bed any questions about whether he is ready for the starting role in Penn State's 38-15 thumping of West Virginia. 21-29/325/3 TDs/0 Int.
95% of the coaching on any football team is done by the assistants. The head coach’s role is to establish a culture and hire capable assistants. Deion has demonstrated he can do that. He won’t outrecruit his rivals at Colorado to the same degree he did at Jackson State — it’s just not possible at the P5 level. But he’ll be successful, and while his style will be markedly different, he’ll do it by doing the same things other successful big-time coaches do.
That’s probably true in terms of the workload, but the difference between Deion and almost every other P5 HC is that those guys all were, at some point, the assistant coaches doing 95% of the work. Deion never was that guy.
I’m so frustrated with BC right now-if Hafley goes, who’s next? Could someone like JJ Watt or Luke Keuchly attract better coaches and players than the next likely hire (who is going to leave in 3-4 years anyway if he is successful). I have no idea if those guys have any interest in coaching I’m just using them as an example, name guys who haven’t been grinding as assistant coaches.
It’s a tough model to emulate because who else is Prime Time? Very few guys have the charisma AND the necessary celebrity status with teenagers.
And that approach wouldn’t work in the NFL. Sure he could attract a few free agents, but the salary cap and constant roster turnover would blunt his celebrity impact.
I suspect he’ll be at Colorado for a few years at least. If he has success that fan base will pay for whatever he wants.
For sure
I also don’t view Kuechly as a celebrity.
JJ Watt would be different. Technically I should be opposed, but since his wife was a UNC Soccer star, idk how I would react.
but totally agree on the culture fit not being there if it’s Watt.
just get a great football mind and motivator please
For BC, I always thought they should have gone after Brian Flores before he left the Pats.
Alum, from the NYC area and the NFL pedigree that kids would be attracted to.

You should have sorta a home field situation. They should have had this in Mobile. This is a perfect locale if you were playing U of M. (Stadium and pregame sucks here)
It’s going to really suck for one of these teams to have their playoff chances go poof in Week 1.
I don’t like Orlando too much. Area by Amway and soccer that is built up is ok. This should have been home and home instead of this “neutral” stuff
Try was not a late hit. And then LSU didn’t snap it after the clock expired but no delay of game call
Totally forgot last year wa in NO.
Yeah this fake neutral stuff is stupid. It's not even real neutral.
I was about to turn off my TV when the ref was talking to the LB thinking there was a flag coming. That jump was an awful decision.
Not giving a shit about either team but just loving college football makes this a blast to watch
Noles need to get their shit together. Wilson who is normally good killed two drives and we are lucky to have gotten two stops on 4th.
