What the post says if you click it:

"Do not hear me out. This is a terrible idea and anyone who thinks they’d click this to find support and justification should be immediately put on medication. Getting in front of this as quickly as I can. "

 

Interesting comparison of the UF vs. LSU jobs

I don’t think any of that matters anymore. Compare their NIL funding. That’s going to win titles and that’s what is going to attract coaches. Thinking your history and tradition matters is gonna get you left behind.

Brian Kelly to Penn State would be fun.

and by fun I mean incredibly easy to hate, even moreso than Jerrah and the Cowboys as a lifelong Cowboys fan.

Yes, Bob would work well in this day and age of college football.

Is the talent in Florida truly elite?  There is more of it in Florida, but are the best of Florida truly better than Louisiana?

I feel this cycle is odd because being a “big name” and having a decent resume might not be enough. It’s far more important that they embrace NIL etc and work well with donors. The old CEO model is over. I think there are tons of coordinators and assistants ready for this new world whose names none of us know right now. 

Which is exactly why Franklin is the wrong coach for this era. He’s a salesman and little more. If a school needs a brand builder, a fundraiser, he’s good at that. But when money can build you a team without a years long recruiting development process, schools like Indiana can become playoff teams in 1 offseason with a good coach. He’s a terrible game planner against equal or better talent. He doesn’t do defense. He’s had to fire 3 of the 5 OCs he’s hired. He coaches scared in big games. He can’t develop a quarterback and doesn’t know how to hire someone who can. He cant identify when a quarterback has the quality to win a national championship and isn’t able to bring one in through the portal who can. 

I think a team should take a flyer on Kevin Sumlin, but only if he brings in Adrian Peterson as the RB coach

I think you are under estimating the value of selling a program and identifying the talent and personality that fits into a scheme and a culture.

Cignetti has done that at Indiana and that foundation was laid by bringing over some building blocks from JMU.  

Do agree on Franklin struggling with hiring staff and being overly involved in game decisions.  

“State taxes” always kills me as a message board factor for coaches. As if Sexton is negotiating these contracts and then someone comes in and says “hold up, have we factored in the state income tax in these talks?” 
 

I promise everyone that these agents are presenting coaches with take-home numbers during this process.

Saw on Ole Miss fan talking about how the rumored offer for Kiffin wasn't that great because he can get a bonus at Ole Miss, as if he wouldn't be bonus eligible anywhere else.

Got’em. Big Ten and ACC only have two HC jobs open, and only one in the Big 12. Hang the banner, the Big 12 reigns supreme!

Kinda interesting - BetOnline has Jon Sumrall as the early favorite for LSU, followed by Joe Brady and then Kiffin.

Brady seems like he prefers NFL but damn, how can you turn down one of these massive guaranteed college coach contracts especially at his age. He'd be set for life and could always go back to the NFL later in 2-3 years with $50-60M in his back pocket.

Speaking of NFL coordinators, I wonder if Todd Monken gets looks from anyone? He did well as OC at UGA and as HC at Southern Miss a while back

take the gig - no brainer. And they will pay. I laugh at all the talk that AD's will suddenly come to their senses and start signing no name asst coaches to sensible, incentive laden deals. these are the same AD's that signed all of these stupid fucking deals to begin with. The entire system needs to implode before it can be rebuilt. the guys currently captaining the ships are the ones who created this monster.

I have no basis for this other than how obvious it seems to me, but it will be delightful to watch Brian Kelly fail at Penn St. 

Those assholes all deserve each other. 

I'm all-in on Kelly taking the UCLA gig and showing up to the first presser with fake tits and ass implants like a Kardashian. We have to assume that he already knows how to blow athletes from his time on the recruiting trails.

Yes and yes. Probably 2 of the stupidest questions I’ve seen asked in a long time, and you pulled them off back to back.

Isn’t per capita Louisiana one of the best states for talent? Also that state and entities within it funnel talent to LSU like crazy. 

It was, but per capita is generally a stupid measurement for this kind of thing. Texas, Cali, Georgia and Florida are all much better pools of talent. Florida has 5 five-star recruits in the 2026 cycle (4 excluding the IMG guy). Louisiana has 1. 

I assume this is a bs source but the guy has a lot of followers and it would be a random thing to make up. Would make sense though.

Sounds like bs, but I'd be cool with that hire, although I'd like to see if he can avoid the typical aggy rollercoaster drop in November. The timing doesn't make sense anyway. He may have other opportunities, expecially if aggy actually were to make a deep CFP run, and other options for us might become available also. If there is indeed smoke, my best guess is that he and Weiberg met, hit it off, and the feeling is that it's "inevitable." Again, I'd be good if this is the hire. He better know some fucking good DCs though.

Former LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said he would “love” to be the head coach of the Tigers again. ESPN’s Evan Cohen asked him straight up on Wednesday.

“I’d love to,” Orgeron said on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike. “Are you kidding me? I just gotta get in my truck, I’ll be there today!”

I'm surprised he was able to clear his calendar so quickly.

This makes fat Elko cashing in and bailing damn near 100%.  Klein is the only thing plugging the damn of mediocrity right now and if he leaves, Elko will be back to 7-5/8-4 for the foreseeable future.  He'd be an idiot to not bail for PSU/FL/LSU before that happens.

just take whoever is at A&M under the great elko, gut that bitch 

Florida has great talent, they just have to share it with FSU and Miami (and UGA and Bama on their border). LSU has traditionally put a fence around the state when they are rolling. Per capita, Mississippi may be one of the best states for producing talent, they just have only 3 million people in the whole state.

Possibly, but then again you rarely ask questions and instead you usually are making a proclamation of some type so I  do feel I have a bit more room to go before I try to take your crown.

Florida has good talent and a great deal, but when I think of elite I think of a something that is hands done  the best and I won't say it is bad, but has it lived up to the elite level recently?

If we look at last year's draft Texas had the most kids at 37 and Florida was second with 26 and Georgia third with 22. Thing is, 3 of those Florida kids are IMG kids, 1 of who went to a Georgia High School for three years so if we take those 3 out if closes it down a bit.  Then there is the fact Florida is over 23M people and Georgia has just over 10M based upon the 2020 census.

Curious if we also looked at first rounders how that plays out as aren't we told one of the big factors with getting 5stars is your projected draft ability

Really doesn't matter, you have spoken and we all know what that means.  Personally, the strength of states like Texas and Florida are not that top tier but those lower 4'sand 3" who are undervalued and still developing. .

So he can just move schools and he won’t still need an offensive coordinator there but if he stays at A&M without Klein he won’t need an offensive coordinator?

Try to make sense and don’t be irrational just because you don’t like another school.   
 

Besides, Elko can always invite Johnny to come back and be the OC, right?
