It’s the image, “I am a millionaire”. Time to get gold chains and a $200k sports car.

If I’d been offered that as an 18 year old, and the next guy offered me $200 more, I’d have gone with the money. When you can’t explain the difference (or see it all as the same) money always wins.

Now, if I could just go back 40 years, add a lot of speed, 50 pounds, and be 3 times as strong, I’d maybe be able to be a punter….

WR coach has not done a very good job. Wayyyy too many drops, which are drive killers. I’d bet half of our unsuccessful drives include at least one drop.

Free beer. That’s all they need to do. Fans would pack the stadium, even if the brought back Billy Joe Hobert.

After a couple starts, things will slow down for him. Too fast right now to make 3-4 reads.

But he has thrown some bullets.

Just an assumption, but his buyout more than likely contained an offset clause. That means that any pay he got from another coaching job would count against his buyout. While money from other things necessarily wouldn't go toward offset (tv appearances, NIL, booster paid appearances, etc) the salary would.

In essence, why coach for free? Why go through the stress and strain, to make nothing more? He'd be wiser to get a college commentator gig on TV/radio/podcast. That money he would get to keep in addition to his buyout.

So many ambiguous words these guys use. They talk to agents, get parameters, then make an offer to the agent. They interview over Zoom. They make a decision.

THEN the AD Calls the coach. And guess what? That coach is the first one he called (directly) because the rest of them have been calling into Zoom calls. Oh, and since they agreed already, this is the first guy “offered”.

Nothing new. Not limited to Bama, LSU, NSU, Walmart, Kroger, or anyone else lately. They try to play every hire as the only one they ever wanted, by using words that sound one way, but are kinda deceptive.

Would be nice to hear an AD say “he was the 8th coach we called, and the 4th one we presented a contract to, but the first one to accept let our lowball offer.”

I realize that a lot of folks get ticked off a players skipping these bowl, but it is a sign that you are developing players. Just the publicity around who is going to play sends the message to recruits that we can get you prepared for the NFL.

Eh, hard to say. It is going to split college football into 2 tiers. There will be a few HS standouts that get plucked by top tier, and the rest will go to feeder schools for a year or two, with hopes of transferring to the top tier school at some point.

Its going to mean that top tier coaches are going to have to develop relationships with lower tier coaches and schools. They will need them to teach players their system, to eliminate that initial learning curve for a transfer.

Not trying to lower expectations, but Daniels is ripping off run against teams with maybe 2 players that run 4.5 40's. In the NFL, that's an average DB. Those runs don't happen against 6-7 players as fast as he is.

He is going to have to improve speed of reads and deep ball accuracy (lots of underthrows) in the passing game. Can he? Who knows. 31 teams didn't think Purdy would, and at the time most thought his now backup Darnold was a sure thing. The difference is just a tenth of a second between reads, but most can't make that adjustment.

I disagree. By playing a tough opponent you get to see where you are, and give your team a reality check.

LSU lost to FSU because of defensive miscommunication and the players not trusting one another. They seem to have fixed that before SEC play began. If they had started off playing NSU, would they have even realized the issues?
