Thank God. I don't think I could have survived watching Nebraska football the last 5 years.

Hey! We didn't can Ray Perkins. He left for the Bucs. Not such a hot decision either. He ended up with a .357 win % in the NFL.

He had had some shitty seasons at Alabama too and bailed when he got us to double digit wins. I don't really blame him, but to go to the Bucs back then? Suicide mission.

Is that the sanatized version Alabama fans prefer ???

New Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer reveals plan after replacing Nick Saban

Before I get to Kalen DeBoer, Nick Saban, and all things Alabama football in the 21st century, I’d like to start with a short story about Ray Perkins.

I think SEC and Big Ten fans have to accept that programs are going to lose more games with the future conference make up. However, it's also important to remember that you can probably lose 2 games and be in the CFP moving forward.
 
Might've already been posted, but here goes...

 
Sounds like Jedd Fisch is the leading candidate at the moment. He is the #1 target at the moment but not a done deal.

So, is that right? The Gumps really threw a bunch of money at a guy who’s only been an FBS HC for like 3-4 years?

Yeah, this has the vibes of a not-too-distant crash and burn.

Many of them pay overpay on the front end. Those that underpay on the front end then try to overpay after good results.

Damn. I feel bad for all 8 Arizona fans if that happens. That's gonna be one sad van ride they take to Mexico for fentanyl this week.

I don't do that and never have. Not the kind that goes and does research on coaches. I'll wait to see who they pick up and weigh in then. I had questions about Petersen when they grabbed him, and wasn't convinced DeBoer bringing in Penix was the ticket so there's that.

I'm usually skeptical until proven otherwise.
 
UGA hasn’t had a coach leave for another program since at least before WW2, and in turn they haven’t stolen a head coach from an FBS level program in that time either(Marshall was FCS when Donnan was hired)

Some programs are just classless

You're weighing in with your opinion with saying you don't want Smith and Fisch

Yep. And that's about as far as I go. I really don't have someone I'm fired up about. If it turned out to be either of those I wouldn't throw things. Just not excited about either.

UW is very quiet with their search at the moment which tells me they are either totally zoned in on one guy that they are set to hire, or they are still trying to gather their composure from getting their bell rung by DeBoer's departure.

There isn't any big name coaches out there that I could see leaving to go to UW. It's so late in the recruiting cycle, most coaches are probably settled in with their current teams. Maybe they look to the NFL?
 
Something I am hearing across social media from UW fans is that they want someone with strong ties to the program. I get after something like this happens it might seem like that's the smart way out, but I'd stress going to get someone who can win football games instead. Yeah, they might bail, but once you got the wins you got'em. View it like a transactional relationship, you give them something and they give you something vs a marriage or long term commitment.
