Brian Fowler Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Here's the other side of the Penn State dilemma: Michigan. If Ohio wins a close one over Michigan, Penn gets the East, beats Wisconsin... Is the B1G title really enough to outweigh Michigan beating them by 39? Especially if Colorado wins the Pac-12. Michigan would be 10-2, with likely three top ten wins (two over conference champions) and both loses being close and on the road. Michigan State could really solve a lot of headaches with that potential upset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should've got those wins back when all those kids who were raped get their virginity back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I would bet money that flurry of stories last night originated from pro-Herman Texas boosters in response to the recent chatter that the UT prez might keep Strong around. although I do think Herman is a better fit at LSU than Texas. I think they've proven they like a little offbeat in their coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 If I'm Herman, I take the Texas pressure and (Blow the) Big Game Bob over playing Saban every year in a heartbeat. But that lack of competitive spirit might be why my coaching career stalled after one season of being an assistant to a freshmen team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Of course, Houston just laid an egg and lost to Memphis, so some folks in Austin and Baton Rouge might be pumping the breaks on the Brinks truck right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 and to me that falls on coaching because it shows that these kids aren't getting up for the lesser opponents. So LSU, get ready to lose a couple to Vandy every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APO Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 They'd absolutely take that if Herman beats Bama, lol. I could see Herman taking it and banking on Saban stepping down from the Death Star some time real soon and hoping that Bama doesn't get a similar coach that's sociopathicly-fixated on recruiting and winning.

EVA Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Herman to Texas is official now, also. Good luck with that, Texas.

EVA Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Looks like PJ Fleck to Purdue is just about done, too. I get cashing out while your value is at it's highest, but I will never understand these hotshot MAC coaches who opt to sacrifice their careers on the pyre of shitty B1G programs. Farewell, PJ.

Would Lane leave a sure thing, though? For another HC gig sure, but OC at LSU is a lateral move at best. Heck, it may be a demotion if Saban gets a wild hair up his butt about it and blows Baton Rouge off the face of the earth to prove that he'll always be the final boss of the SEC.

It's a lateral move, but Kiffin and Orgeron are best friends. If the money is comparable, it comes down to whether you want to work for your buddy or an authoritarian micromanager who will chew your ass on national TV then joke about it in the post game presser.
