OT: D1

[IUPbigINDIANS]

BYU coach is staying.

I'd assume his agent leaked the PSU angle for a raise.

Yes. I think a lot of this is a game to get raises. Hell, we'd do the same in our own lines of work.

I guess by default its likely that Terry Smith is the guy and that should be fine.

I also believe with good reason that coaches want to stay away due to the unreasonable expectations of the JoeBots and big money boosters.

16 is better than 12 in my opinion. It doesn’t add any more rounds to the tournament, just eliminates the byes, which I’ve argued since before last year’s playoffs aren’t an advantage anyway. The teams who get them are off for too long.

The coaches who get fired will get more money in their buyout than I’ll make in several lifetimes. I’m not shedding a single tear for that.

Nobody is shedding a tear for those guys. I'm just saying it will lead to even more chaos.

[Ship69]

What's funny about the upcoming playoff expansion is, in reality, it's just the pimps working the whores even harder (and longer). Hell, they'll be playing a longer season than the NFL.

I guess we're past even pretending the 'student' part of 'student athlete' matters.

On the 'student' subject ... I'd just love to see the transcripts of these kids who play for 4 teams in 4 years.

Obviously, Ship has direct ties to the most infamous of all the school-hoppers. Imagine the swag collection. Six schools has to be a record.

That hopper was probably the only time I've ever seen Chris Fite surprised by a transfer.

I don’t know, Pat Kraft looks really bad right now. If he promotes Smith to full time HC, which he clearly does not want to do, he’s essentially waiving the white flag that he failed to land a coach at one of college football’s biggest brands.

Ohio State OC Brian Hartline is a name that I’ve seen floating around. I think the hot coordinator is probably the way to go at this point, whether it’s Hartline or someone else. Sitting HCs just aren’t into this job other than using it to get a better situation with their current employer.

Or they could hire Brian Daboll. Would that excite anyone?

Hartline to USF.

No idea how the JoePa AD survives this mess. They can't give that job away.

They may put an ad in The Green Sheet soon.

[Chuck Norris]

Hartline to USF.

Yeah just saw that. I googled coordinators who could be HC candidates. Saw a list that had both of Curt Cignetti’s coordinators on it, not surprisingly. OC is Mike Shanahan who played at Pitt and has essentially been with Curt ever since. The DC is a little older and more experienced. If you can’t lure Cig, maybe one of his lieutenants?

[Fightingscot82]

This one's a stretch - but if they refuse to name Smith the guy - what about going hard after PJ Fleck? He's only making $6M at Minnesota. Although Fleck says that Minnesota was a bucket list job for him.

The Lettermen are lining up for Smith. Kraft has a sh*t sandwich situation right now. He's gotta justify his hire in any case now.

Yeah if they just decide to end the fiasco and put Kraft out of his misery I could see them just going with Terry Smith for the short term.

[IUPNation]

Remember the Eagles won two Super Bowls with guys with no pedigree and they hired Andy Reid when he was just a position coach.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

They may be calling up Pat in Oakland soon.

[Bart]

If Clements wins the National Championship, put his name on the board.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Some drama in the Yinzerlands this morning on Signing Day.

Fort Cherry star Matt Sieg was thought to be down to either Pitt or Big Game James.

He then announced he's going to Morgantown.

Nice late steal for Rich Rod.

They'll be like Terry ... you were the pick all along (especially after the first 12 said they weren't interested).

Not having this wrapped up prior to National Signing Day is really, well, fascinating.

Old Urban is looking better all the sudden.
