Sark is slow to react and he will need to adapt much quicker. It is his delayed reactions and inability to adapt on the fly that have me convinced he will fail. He cut trash in the last game of the season. He should have cut it during the bye week. We all knew about the lack of effort before the bye week.

We have some major issues top level coaches want no part of. We've become a high risk/reward gamble no upper level coach is willing to risk their career on, so we are stuck with untried or second chance coaches willing to go big or go home.
November 30, 20214 yr So - help me understand - Kelly isn't coaching out the season? He's just gonzo after tomorrow and going to get to work at LSU? Is that confirmed? What if they get into the CFP? He thinks there is zero percent chance they can even win a semi and get a chance to play for a national title? They'd have an interim staff coach a fucking CFP game???

Someone on ESPN or Yahoo made a decent point that the committee simply judges what the team has done up to that point and doesn't take into account injuries - even if it's something major like JT Barrett going out in 2014. So - you think they'd treat a coaching change similarly. To be sort of morbid - what if Kelly say, had a heart attack and died or was in the ICU? Would they shut ND out? Probably not. It's a weird fucking situation though. Hence why I was asking.

November 30, 20214 yr I don’t think LSU hasn’t hired anyone this big before (at the time of the hire). At least not in my lifetime. Saban was just an up and comer when he left Michigan State. Les Miles was an underwhelming replacement and Coach Unintelligible was already on the staff. Exciting stuff!
November 30, 20214 yr He's a bad fit not in that he's a Yankee but he's a stick up his ass Yankee dork.

He's not a guy that is going to rebuild a program at 60. He fired half his staff after that season which led to five straight 10+ win seasons and two playoff appearances. He doesn't have to rebuild LSU, the talent is already there. Just has to bring in the right coaches and right the ship.

Shit leaked out and what was he supposed to do? Sent out a fairly sincere sounding group text apologizing and said we'll talk about it in the morning. Seems like he's handling things a lot better than the way that bitchass Riley handled things. And unlike Riley, it sounds like he can honestly say he left for a lot more money and it was too good of a deal to pass up. And yeah, if LSU says, "We'll give you all this, but we need you to start right away" vs. riding out the current situation at ND in hopes that everything goes just right and they get into the playoff, to most likely get beat in the first round again...you go ahead and leave.

This shows he was clearly persuadable at the right price. I think it’s probably more that Texas doesn’t want to pay the kind of money it took to get Brian Kelly out of ND. Even the Urban Meyer offer included a huge annual salary but was only five years if I remember right. Knowing how much Belmont loves to count its coins, I have a hard time imagining Texas being interested in these 10-year $100mm type deals.

Only Georgia would have clearly superior talent, and they’ve played them down to the wire in recent years, no reason to be scared.

I think it’s a long shot that all of these new coaches – Riley, Kelly, Napier, whomever OU hires after Stoops’ interim gig – have a high level of success.Riley’s floor at USC is high but I think it’s very possible he doesn’t build a nationally elite program. Still, I think he’ll at least win some Pac 12 titles. Kelly is a wild card. I could see him doing really well with the elevated talent level, I could see him flaming out spectacularly with the grind that the SEC schedule will be and a Herman like deterioration of good will among fans, players, admin, boosters, etc. OU will probably be fine because we can’t have nice things but there’s certainly room for them to slip.
November 30, 20214 yr This is gonna be a spectacular failure. We are a fucking mess right now, but I'm glad LSU mortgaged their next decade on this overrated asshole.
November 30, 20214 yr Yeaaa, well. That may be a problem going forward. I mean, if that’s where the market is set then I’m sure they’ll adjust to an extent. But as of the search last year that was definitely not the industry standard, unless you’re aggy, and no one wants to be like aggy.

Unless BYU flips on the Big 12 to join the Pac 12 South, Riley should have USC in the title game almost every year.
