"Second Thoughts" aren't the issue. The issue is contractual repayment of money already paid. Coming up with say $200k because you changed your mind is difficult to impossible for some of these guys. And it's just not cars or jewelry that some of these kids spend their NIL money on. Some of...

I like you.

Really? I can assure you MF has absolutely no problem whatsoever with the manner in which Brian Kelly left Notre Dame. BK brought him to ND and the manner in which he left ND directly led to a 35yr old Marcus Freeman being handed one of the best jobs in sports as well as a bag of generational...

...he would also make about 45 million less on his rookie contract.

The problem with late cycle flips is schools (USC in particular) now structure the NIL contracts in a way where HS players are getting paid a year before they arrive on campus. If you flip you then have to not only reimburse USC for what you already took from them ($$) but you also have to pay...

"Trending Oregon" = they've up their $$$ offer. It's as simple as that. Same thing with Miami. Nobody's going to Miami because of Mario Cristobal's magnetic personality. It's b/c Miami offers more $$ money than anyone else. Lanning has more personality than Mario but at the end of the day the...

Where do people get this stuff? Where has Saleh failed? He was a defensive assistant in Seattle during the LOB years when they won the SB. He then went to SF where they finished 2nd overall in team defense and 1st in pass defense enroute to a SB appearance where they lost to KC. His 2nd...

Our boy EJ is off to a fast start (lol) on the Canes beat. The comments are particularly delightful!

Really? I can get snow being a drag on a visit weekend, but it rains in Arizona so its not like the kid hasn't experienced it before.

Some of the title massaging is contractual. Schools can, but rarely do, restrict lateral moves for assistant coaches. "Titles" are kind of a way around DB coach from X leaving to become DB coach at Y as he'll ALSO be........ asst head coach & Passing Game Cord. The actual title matters little in...

A lateral move made no sense whatsoever. The man is managing his career with the goal of becoming a HC. His professional standing is at the highest point that it's ever been. Making a lateral move would demonstrate exactly what? That he can do it? But he's already done it and built perhaps the...

By 'highly touted' you mean like Phil Jurkovic right?

Damn you. I was about to throw that at our griend:) I would ask the question. Name a QB who worked under Rees who has either, had a better year after leaving Rees? Or name a QB who statistically regressed under Reed (ie. He was better under....)

Yes. That's why football people keep hiring him.

Yup, that's why Nick Saban hired him. He was duped by an agent and was blown away by how 'well spoken' he was.

IMO, this. It makes the most logical sense. Martin's background is the NFL and in that league the good teams are cash strapped and seek value in free agency. Value in the NFL is best found in the secondary FA market. Bad teams generally have the most cap space and use free agency to fill holes...

Actually there was a lot of in-season talk of Simpson getting drafted in the 1st round. But even if he fell to the 2nd round he'd make more in the NFL than with that NIL package. Tyler Shough went 40th last year to New Orleans. His rookie deal was for 10m guaranteed. His 1st year salary was 5.3m...

Nope. The key thing at OL isn't talent as much as unit cohesion. By unit cohesion I mean 5 guys working as 1. RG knowing HOW RT and C are going to react when the OL call is wrong, BEFORE things start to breakdown. So I would rather have a less talented RT that knows the playbook and his unit as...

Suffice to say a lot of posters here aren't in management. In management you learn about budgets, resource allocation, a department +/- margins real quick. In sum you quickly find out that budgets are real "things" To those not in management budgets are a flexible concept that NEVER really need...
