I bid you all a good night

Confirming the leak. Where there's smoke there's fire.

This is a weird hire. I'm curious the contract details.

If you were to take all the coordinators for the last 40 years that have made the jump to HC and categorized them as flops or successes and used it in an odds algorithm, I'd think the chances of Lanning being successful would be under 20%.

By 'success' I mean they met the expectations for where they got the HC gig.
 
There is no telling what this guy got out of Knight.

Over the last 10 years, $15 - $20 million buyouts to fire a coach after 3 - 4 years was egregious, but many would throw in the towel and dummy it up just to move on. Pelini/Riley.

2021 established $50 million and beyond to move on from someone not meeting the hyped expectations.

There's gonna be a lot of buyers remorse here in 3 - 4 years and some broke athletic departments who decide to swallow their pride from this years crazy contracts.

If Lanning is the guy (seems so) and he doesn't meet expectations at Oregon they'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief unlike many others.

That's assuming they get Lanning in the $4 - $5 million range for 4-5 years.

I'm guessing most schools go the MSU route and hit up the bottomless pocket alumni to foot much of the big coaching hire bills. MSU isn't paying any of Tucker's $95 million dollar contract. Two alumni are footing the bill.

I guess MSU is, in essence, paying it, but the money is to cover it is being donated by the two alumni.

At this point everybody's just waiting for Saban to retire.

Pretty much most of their prior HC's came up from a coordinator job first. Bellotti was a HC at some podunk place for a minute, but was a coordinator at the time he was given the job. Kelly hadn't ever been one before. Helfrich either.

They have had two with prior HC exp in Taggert and Cristobal and both bailed on them.

Helfrich is an example of it failing, but I think they like their history of success with it.

He's going to bring a SEC view of defense and has quite a few 4-5 star recruits on the books. If he can flip a couple of them they can improve on that side of the ball fairly quickly. No idea if he has any real exp on west coast recruiting or if he can get a top flight OC. Lots of questions.

Good point..

It's still crazy contracts compared to just a few years ago where $4 - $5 million for 4 or 5 years was the egregious norm.

I think A&M broke things when they nabbed Jimbo.

He's not going to Oregon to be a coordinator with his hand being held by Kirby and Muschamp.

He's got 4X the responsibility he had at Georgia. These guys are all risks, and the odds say the vast majority of them don't meet expectations.

Oh I agree and we just had our example of a highly sought after coordinator that stayed and took HC and entirely bombed at it. Failed at OC selection and the entirely underperformed for their talent level and showed no signs of improving week to week.

Just saying Oregon has had success, including reaching the playoffs with a coordinator turned first time HC there. I can see why they would be less afraid of that unknown.

My daughter, who is passionate about volleyball, sat and watched the game with me, start to finish. I secretly recorded her reactions to Nebraska winning the match points of the 3 sets lol.

My daughter stayed up late last night and Thursday night to watch too, for now she's tall just depends on what genes she ended up with right now she's like 5'2"-3 and 11 y/o. She wants to play next year when she starts middle school.
 
When does softball and gymnastics start? :facepalm:

We have had my daughter in volleyball since she was 5, she's 9 now. I'm not sure about her heighth either, I am 6'2" and her mom is like 5'3 or 4" lol, but the wifes dad and brother are in the 6 foot area. I am hoping she'll be tall, but I am guessing probably average it out around 5'8" or so lol.
