The pressure of being a coach in the SEC may be weighing heavy on Kirby this evening. While we know that Kelly really did not have any significant wins, or at least won a game they were not favored in.....has Kirby? I don't follow Georgia, but nothing comes to mind. Does his seat get warm if they lose tomorrow? Or lose it the playoff if they stay in the top 4? I am guessing Saban knows the pressure is on Kirby tomorrow.

It's unfortunate....life goes so fast and he passed up his senior year to be there.

It's like the gift that keeps on giving

McAfee is always good for some comic relief, and this is no exception...careful though the language may not be suitable for work

More than likely though, coaches are paid out of the revenue the sport generates for a given school....in fact, that revenue also pays for a lot of other programs and coaches that really do not generate much revenue at all. I am willing to bet when you look at what the LSU program earned in revenue is far more than the coaches salaries.

@Coach Nowlinhitting it out of the park with this one. 🤣

I was going to post that too...lol Reminded me of HRC doing that in multiple places. He must be from South Boston

I agree, but would add, it does not seem that the school wants to even take a chance on some borderline kids; or maybe we don't hear about the kids who become or are academically ineligible. It seems it has been a LONG time since they had a player like Tony Rice who had to get his grades up to be eligible. I think history shows, that was a risk well worth taking. Granted all risks will not succeed like he did.

Hamilton Heights has a Business teaching position open immediately and looking for an Offensive Coordinator for the 22-23 football season. Contact Head Coach Jon Kirschner at jkirschner@hhschuskies.org

Agree 10000%. On the surface LSU looks like a better job to a LOT of people, but the pressure to win, especially with his contract is higher at LSU than it is for him at ND. He could have continued at ND for several more years at the same rate he has been, and would have been fine. It’s not that the fans loved and adored him. It’s that they reached a level of competitiveness that had been missing. And most know too, as it has been stated, the recruiting limitations are a point to fall back to in seasons like the last few, when it has been clear they are not in the top tier of programs. They ARE on the next tier though. He might get 3 years at LSU before alumni get restless. And there are a LOT of coaches who are perfectly happy where they are and have been…..guys like Ferentz, Harbaugh now, Chryst, Swinney, Gundy, and several others. They are not really interested in the next big program. They have great support, and they compete well. Their kids graduate, and they run clean programs….as far as we know any way. 😁

I saw a video on twitter of Rees telling the team he is staying.

Posting here since he is no longer at ND; but Kelly has a pretty sweet deal. My guess is that his previous deal did not have quite as many perks. New #LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly has very interesting clauses in his deal. If he wins a title, firing him would cause an automatic payout of 100% of his remaining salary (LSU has fired Les Miles and Ed Orgeron after winning titles). He gets 90% of it the remaining balance if he’s fired without cause. His base salary is 10 years/$95M BONUSES INCLUDE: $75K for the SEC Championship Game OR $150K for winning it $500K “Longevity bonus” annually $500K for being bowl eligible + $100K for a NY6 Bowl appearance OR $200K for a Playoff appearance OR $300K for a National Title appearance OR $500K for winning it all $50K for SEC Coach of the year + $75K for National Coach of the Year Additional academic achievement bonuses of $25K each He owes $2M to LSU if he leaves voluntarily Kelly also receives: -Two courtesy vehicles and two vehicle allowances of $1,000 a month -Interest free home loan of 20% of the home price up to $1.2M -50 hours per year of private jet time on LSU’s jets

Sagarin=games played…..got it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Accessories for that Devils' look include:

Made me think of this....I know it's not football, but I KNOW you will appreciate this: The Devils are taking a beating on social media with it too; and it is internets gold.

I have not seen this quoted by the committee, but Acho says what I briefly mentioned, about Kelly's departure impacting their CFP ranking.

I am willing to say that if OSU beats Baylor, there is a case for them to be in front of ND. I think a stronger case would have been made if the committee waited for that to happen. FTA: Game control: OSU has five wins by single digits (23-16 over Missouri State, 28-23 over Tulsa, 21-20 over Boise State, 32-24 over Texas and 37-33 over OU), plus two wins that were two-possession games at the finish (Kansas State 31-20, Baylor 24-14). Notre Dame has three wins by single digits (41-38 over Florida State in overtime, 32-29 over Toledo and 32-29 over Virginia Tech), plus three more wins that were two-possession games at the finish (27-13 over Purdue, 44-34 over North Carolina and 31-16 over Southern Cal). OSU’s loss (24-21 to Iowa State) was tight. Notre Dame’s 24-13 loss to Cincinnati was somewhat one-sided. Advantage: even. I laugh at this one when it says advantage is even. I don't see it that way at all. In fact, I see the opposite. 5 single digit wins compared to 3 is NOT an advantage; ESPECIALLY when one of OSU's single digit ins is against an FCS team in Missouri State.

If Fickell is smart, he talks to Freeman to try and get him to stay.

Plainfield HS has openings for two varsity defensive coaches (DB and OLB). No teaching positions available at this time. Please contact Brian Woodard (HFC) at bwoodard@plainfield.k12.in.us if you have an interest or any questions.

That would not be a bad hire. He did really well at Penn State; especially under the circumstances he was placed in.

Ummmmmmm

if cupcake games are the standard, OSU has no edge over ND. I will add again, as far as the CFP Committee is concerned; OSU is only 10-1 right now. No bigger cupcake on a schedule than a team that does not even factor into your ranking. I still don't believe that playing a lower ranked team and beating them should put you in a position to leap frog another team, if both teams played last week. If the committee waited for OSU to beat Baylor this week, the case might be stronger for such a move.

Back to the season talk.........I expected to see everyone move up one spot with osu losing; did not happen.....should have, but it did not. Life goes on. 3 things need to happen; Georgia beats Alabama....and I think it has to be by a couple scores, Michigan loses to Iowa in the B1G Championship, and Baylor beats OK State. Even if the first two things happen, there is a shot. so, now......20 % chance of getting in.

well, I am not sure what Ok State did this last week that caused them to leap frog Notre Dame, but it happened. I did not think it should happen, but figured all along it very well could happen. I am curious to see if any of the news the last couple days factored into it. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-playoff-rankings-michigan-takes-no-2-spot-cincinnati-holds-at-no-4-in-new-top-25/

Sounds like a bit of karma to me. 🤣🤣🤣
