Re: College Football Discussion - Saban Retiring
Moore was the obvious choice. Current group of guy seem to like him a lot, we'll see how it plays out after a few seasons.

On one hand I agree, on the other hand you'd think Michigan could have had their pick of any coach not at a blue blood so going with Moore is a big risk

Re: College Football Discussion - Saban Retiring
I still have a bad taste in my mouth from Rich Rod & Hoke so I'm happy staying in house with Moore. ![:lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

State of Tennessee is suing the NCAA over NIL rules. Hopefully this is the start of a massive overhaul of the current system.

Re: College Football Discussion - Saban Retiring
Yup, between all that and super conferences my interest in college sports is at the lowest it's ever been.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Re: College Football Discussion - Saban Retiring
I figured even before the NIL/portal stuff came in that being an NCAA coach was insanity compared to NFL. Get off a private jet to some small high school in Missouri at 9 PM and then gameplan for your game against Purdue. I know they will/are offloading some of this, but the head coach still needs to be present for most of it.
The NCAA has been ripped in the past, and for good reason, but at this point they are toothless. The moment they do anything they will be pummeled by litigation because they have almost no power.

It's just crazy they went from limited, but nice benefits (although not enough) for athletes to the wild west. There was just no ramp up to the current conditions at all.

Re: College Football Discussion - Saban Retiring
A **** head coach at a historic university that's about to enter a Power 2 conference is leaving that gig to become an offensive coordinator at OSU?
So **** weird. I'm sure he'll blame NIL.

Day and Kelly have been very close long before either one got into major college football. They’re from the same hometown, Manchester, N.H. Day was Kelly’s quarterback at UNH and then later got his first coaching job as the tight ends coach when Kelly was the offensive coordinator. Kelly later brought Day with him to the NFL with the Eagles and then later to the 49ers. Their families are still very close.
It was no secret that Kelly was open to leaving UCLA as the Bruins program struggled to compete on an NIL front, as well as financially on staffing issues. Kelly had grown tired of having no NIL money to compete for recruits as the conversation would often circle back to money. On top of that, he’d lost his defensive coordinator to crosstown rival USC when D’Anton Lynn was hired away. The Bruins were paying $1 million a year to a first-time defensive coordinator. USC easily doubled that. — Bruce Feldman, national college football reporter
Some interesting stuff there.

Re: College Football Discussion - Saban Retiring
Also, there were reports that Kelly was about to be canned at the end of last year.
I am not against the athletes getting paid and have not been. It'll be interesting to see how the ecosystem continues to shake out given that it appears teams like OSU are dwarfing UCLA money NIL-wise. And while there will be further evolution to hire more and more resources if NIL/portal continues to be the structure, but for now, the workload on a HC probably sucks in some cases.

Re: College Football Discussion - Saban Retiring
Either stick at 12 or jump to 16 and give every conference an auto bid. 14 is dumb imo

Re: College Football Discussion - Saban Retiring
If B10 got 3 qualifiers, it feels reasonable that UW would make it every so often, even with the expanded conference. Regularly? No. But sometimes? I could see that. This feels good for us, even though I think a 14 team playoff feels kind of crazy.

No way the ACC should get 2 AQs.

I agree. I like the idea of the 12 team format better. But in a 14 team playoff with the Big Ten getting 3 AQ spots(plus I'd guess fairly regularly one of the At large bids would go to a 4th Big Ten team) there is probably a decent chance Wisconsin makes it every few years into the bracket.
