That's right.   Everybody says that!   
Hence why Alabama only gets 1 really good class every 3-4 years.   And they just ride each of those classes to #1 rankings and National Title games every single year.  Then wait to reload after another 3-4 years!!1!!1!1!

Serious question...when did Dickey stop being the OC?

I don't think he ever called plays. I could be wrong, but I think that's part of the issue in College Station right now. He has too big of an ego to change his archaic offense.

Still one of the OCs - He just moved to TEs and they have another coach handling QBs. That move has not worked to well.image.png.fa62e074fe519c92707d09777901a252.png

Jimbo is a good HC and has shown he can win but his loyalty to crap assistants at FSU and now his giant ego at A&M have hurt him. A&M can easily buy him out if they need to but I suspect he’ll get one more year and be expected to hire a new OL coach and an OC. He’ll have a blank check for both

As a big fan of second and even third chances, it’s inspiring to see Durkin move from helping kill kids to just helping slowly kill rich programs.

I know Jimbo is near so we hear more, but if I was a fan of Michigan State I would be even more concerned. Why in the name of (insert anything you want here) did they give Mel Tucker a 10 year $90 million deal? They are 1-4 this year against P5 teams.

Didn't he throw the ball like 40 times a game during his tenure at Memphis or are college football seasons just all melting together in my brain at this point?

Yeah, I think so. But I’m right there with you. They all run together.

I am hearing his buyout is $86 million. If that's easy, then so be it, but it has got to hurt even for A&M. Now I don't feel so bad for our buyout if we move on from SL. They paid Jimbo all that money to do no better than what Sumlin was doing.

I wish I could find the study from about 10 years ago. Someone studied the records of FBS teams that replaced a head football coach with the goal of winning more games within the next 2 years and sustaining that. The study showed over a ten or more year period that worked about 40% of the time if I remember correctly.

No they can’t. They are stuck with him for awhile. 

You’re don’t understand the amount of money they have. My grandfather was a TAMU booster 1970s-2000s and I can promise you they had and still have the money for essentially anything. We know some current boosters who can tell you just how few people it would take to pay the rest of his buyout. Hell one family made a $25mil donation last week like it was nothing. They aren’t stuck whatsoever

For A&M, $86mil is nothing to them. The people we know who are still boosters can easily explain just how few people it would take to pay off his contract

The head coach is only one part of the puzzle.  Like the NFL, an elite or upper level QB in college is also a requirement to be successful.  Quality PK doesn't hurt either!

I know this is a bad old dad joke, but that’s proof they have more dollars than sense.

They will not buy him out at that kind of contract.  They just wont.

I think this is very true for them. Their QB play has been abysmal

      A very good NIL message from Coach Morris

      Keeping it real. I like that he's honest with our players.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      On the surface, this seems bad for HS grads. Really good for P4s. If you are a HS senior, your chances of playing D1...baseball especially, out of HS is severely diminished. A D1 baseball coach has way better options now than taking a chance on a HS kid. The whole model has changed and it effects all sports. Think about football. The days of recruiting a kid and developing him are over. Saw in another thread about our incoming QB from Miami. Someone asked (and it's a good question): "if he was the back up, the Heisman candidate starter just left. Isn't it his job? Why would he leave?" Because that coach doesn't care about him. He's scouring the transfer portal looking for his next Cam Ward. (just like he did with the real Cam Ward). Chances are the Miami staff is looking for a bigger, better deal. If you're a D1 baseball or basketball coach, the talent pool of 21 year old, developed, experienced players just opened up. HS kids are going to get pushed out. The transfer portal is going to get crazier to. College players are going to be used, moved, basically traded... With NIL, players are going to stay in college longer too. Saw something the other day: Every SEC starting QB makes more $$ than Brock Purdy, a Superbowl starting 3rd year NFL QB.

      College football could become a career especially when you look at salaries for QB's. Basically the Michigan qb could retire after four years. So we are going to see more 24 and 25 year olds in college sports? Does this hurt the NFL?
