One thing that must be understood about Coach Meyer is the cyst on his brain. His health and well-being must supersede any potential moves. Football has to take a backseat here.

Go B1G, go Norte Dame, go Pack!!!

Lest we never forget Dennis Erickson, Chip Kelly, Lane Kiffin, Bobby Petrino, Nick Saban, Greg Schiano, and Steve Spurrier...

Whatever, dude--admit defeat...

College coaches, normally, can't cut it in the pros with Pete Carroll being a rarity...

I think KC's defense is probably one of the best the Packers will face this year. Then again, ESPN says the Patriots have a pretty good defense, but I'm not all that convinced if Belichick & Co. will make it to Miami...

Like him or not, he never won more than 3 games in a season whilst at IU.

Gerry DiNardo at IU also didn't pay many dividends...

That's why La Fleur's hire was so good.

All excellent points, but it's usually they guys who score the points who get the glory, and the hardware in this case. But it's not like we'll be a #1 draft pick...

At one time, I was envious of Nagy's hire, but his latest move was a reflection of Marc Trestman...

Wasn't worried. KC figured us out for ONE quarter, too bad for them the game is comprised of 4...

Beautiful first drive, even Collinsworth was impressed.

Do they have any signature wins?

I like a good defense, but offenses are becoming too powerful if you have the right system in place...

The Bears have many problems. I take no delight (well...) in their loss, but rather emphasize with the kicker. The Bears have as much luck to get Cam Newton as they do Aaron Rodgers.

I need to check my posts. S/B down is a thought that doesn’t come to mind.

OSU as I don’t really care what IU does. And I also meant to include the B1G and subsequent bowl game or games...

Good luck as things don’t get much easier...

Not so fast, my friend. What about a Pinstripe Bowl matchup with IU?

Given ND’s performance yesterday, are they really B1G-worthy? Just kidding, Kelly has been accurately assessed on other posts and Michigan is no Our Ladies of the Hopeless Miracle. Besides, the Domers check a very important box: geographic proximity. We forget that these guys are student-athletes who have studies as well as athletic duties. Why have them go half-way across the country when they have term papers to write, presentations to prepare for, the weird stuff science geeks do among other things? The same can be said for high school conferences in our beloved Hoosier state: keep it local...

Northwestern and Rutgers are almost certain wins, and Iowa and Sparty don’t seem all that daunting. Sure, the Hawks are ranked, but given my feelings toward polls, I really don’t put much stock into that.

Probably saved Lovie’s job, too.

Well said. I will also submit yesterday’s playing conditions were horrible. If Plummer didn’t throw that pick six and if a few balls weren’t dropped, the outcome could have been much different. I like how these young guys are getting in game experience, but yesterday wasn’t their day. I’m taking clients to the Wisconsin game next month, hopefully they learn how to defend the run by then. If not, no biggie as Mad City has its fair share of watering holes.

As a Purdue fan, I can attest how important the QB position is. Plummer has done fairly well, and is improving, but has a long way to go.
