OT: 2019 NCAA D1 Football

[IronOre]

To those head coaches I say: It's a business. To keep an underperforming assistant coach is akin to keeping a lousy employee that doesn't produce for your company just because you like them as a person. You wouldn't see it in business, so why do it in the billion dollar industry of Division I college football? Michigan State's Mark Dantonio did this same thing and it cost him his legacy. The fan base went from deifying him to hating him the second he kept his entire massively underperforming offensive coaching staff that had cranked out a bottom of the barrel offense the last three years. Everyone but him seemed to realize the problem and the result was another 6 win season with a historically bad offense in 2019. Why allow your loyalty to someone that isn't cut out for the job to ruin your legacy as a coach?

The best coaches in the game are the ones that surround themselves with high quality assistants and they move on to other ones if someone isn't pulling their weight. Just like a good CEO is someone that ensures everyone in the room is as smart or smarter than they are to bring ideas and execution to the table that ensure the company's success.

I got a feeling Peterson won't stay unemployed for long. Might be USC or the NFL somewhere.

Please God, set events in motion that adds Michigan State: Mark Dantonio retired, fired, or resigned - Luke Fickell or Matt Campbell hired

Campbell just signed an extension with Iowa State through 2025

Articles say he's at UW, just in a different position and wants to stay there.

[edit] I just heard on 710 out of Seatle it is a retirement.

If everyone who underperformed got fired, almost 100% of us would be unemployed.

Is it under performing, or is it performing below the fans' expectations?

We like to try and equate things to regular life, and it is anything but regular life.

An example, Saban. Did he under perform this season or perform below fans expectations only being a top 10 team and not a title contender.

Would love to see Georgia lose to LSU in SEC championship and see Utah in Bowl series.

You're going to make catatonic sad.

Oregon Ducks 37, Utah Utes 15.

Both have 11-2 records now and no final 4 big money playoffs for them.

Listened to this on my way back from the games in Mankato last night. Utes could not convert on 4th down. Ducks must have had something to prove on defense. Ducks ran the ball- and ran some more. Now they can fly to the Rose Bowl.

[Wildcat Khan]

Big Sky doing well today in the FCS playoffs, but Montana may be scary good. 73-28 win over SE Louisiana. Other winners today in FCS are Southern, JMU, UNI, Illinois State, Weber State, Montana State, and of course NDSU. Sac State and Austin Peay still to play in Sacramento tonight.

Both teams got whipped. See ya' in the Cereal Bowl...

[IowaBearcat]

Final rankings should be:

#1 - LSU
#2 - Clemson
#3 - Ohio State
#4 - Oklahoma

LSU and Clemson easily looked like the 2 best teams in the country.
