This is why my 92 year old grandmother thinks there are transgender Muslims hiding in aisle 7 at her Kroger ready to kidnap her.

FFS.
Well, now that Dabo is out of a job Kroger can hire him to work security so those pesky transgender Muslims don't hassle your grandmother. Everybody wins.

I'm sure there's some engagement farming social media business reason I don't fully comprehend, but, given all the ways a person can spend their one beautiful life, who chooses to create these realistic-looking knockoff Twitter accounts and just make shit up? It's annoying as hell.

They make money doing it and a lot of it can be automated

People get off on fooling other people. That's it.

If you’re gonna hire Rivers that easily, why fire Doeren mid season and not give him the honor of finishing the season?

Where did they find the cash to buy him out

Good question. For awhile people kept saying they couldn't afford to get rid of Norvell. They must think that they're forced to stop the bleeding now, or maybe they just got a big donation behind closed doors? Maybe they're trying to get ahead of the carousel and reach out to a rising coach before someone else poaches them?

They're just trying to fundraise off this, right? How often do these sort of coaching hires work out? Is Russell Wilson even a football coach?
What do we have to go by other than Deion Sanders? I think for Jackson State and other FCS programs, this works fine. Michael Vick is at Norfolk State. I don't know that it works in P4 or even G5.

I would say at this level, the answer would be no. Rivers and Wilson are not coaching hires. Hiring them would make it more about a feeling or vibe. It's a marketing gimmick.

Jake Dickert and Glenn Schumann would seem like the logical top two for FSU. Manny Diaz would probably also merit a call. Rhett Lashlee is probably well comped at SMU, but call him.

NC State would seem more serious if they looked at Billy Napier, Jamey Chadwell, Scott Satterfield types.

Dickert is from Wisconsin and came up in the Dakotas and Wyoming. Never dealt with a lot of what Florida State has to deal with in terms of recruiting, money, spotlight. Schumann would have more relevant experience, even if he's never been a HC. Manny Diaz would make a lot of sense.
Two years ago, would this have been Deion's job for the taking?

Bob Chesney was not at all a fit for UCLA in terms of where his CV had taken him prior. It looks ok for now. It's very much a new era. FSU should at least call Dickert. If it isn't a fit for him (or them), so be it.

Yes, big difference two years makes. I don't think Deion is what FSU needs in this moment.

Non-sarcastic smoke for Jimbo to FSU

Reports he doesn’t care about the salary, has a staff ready and transfer QB targeted

The internet says he's getting paid $7.2 million a year by A&M through 2031. I hope for their sake that contract has a "new job" clause, so they can just funnel it to Elko instead.

It doesn't have an offset clause. He gets 7.2 mill per year from aTm through 2031, period.

Any new money from another source is additive.

I don't think he's the only one they want to look at tho. Rumors are he already interviewed but there will prob be others.

When I read stuff like this, it makes me feel like I'm failing at life.

What a world.
