I wonder if he’ll call plays from up in the crow’s nest or down on the field like Will Stein.

Inappropriate relationship with a staff member is being stated as the cause. Michigan will be in chaos next season.

Other than Miami and USC not exactly a murderers row schedule.

I wonder what he's been doing in terms of football practice while being away for 2 years?

Well, if either get hired by WSU it's a guaranteed low pressure job with a few million a year salary and not a lot of press spotlight. I bet that's what Chip would prefer right now.

I hope all the SEC qualifiers lose their first game over the next few weeks!

Yup. I'd understand them getting in if they were 10-2 after an SEC championship game loss...but 3 losses? That's complete garbage.

OSU game threads are ripping Hartline apart.

WOW OSU kicker missed a chip shot FG to tie it. Now IU just needs to grind out 3 minutes from the clock. Insanity.

This'll be nuts if Indiana pulls this off.

IU will need to use the pass to set up the run, otherwise they're not going to get anything on the ground.

Makes sense for Peyton. Oregon is closer to home, has a great T&F program, and now has family coming here. Great situation for him!

Official press conference/announcement

Matt Campbell has a good thing going at ISU, not sure why he would consider Penn St after all those other candidates passed on them. There's something wrong with the PSU football program and/or AD.

Last I recall, playoff/bowl games don't count towards the number of games a player participates in during a season. So Stewart should be able to get a medical redshirt even if it's able to help during the CFP.

Apparently WS did interview for the Penn St gig. 🫢 https://www.newsweek.com/sports/ncaa/penn-state-passed-on-top-head-coaching-candidate-after-interview-report-11145661

This is why I'd love to see an Oregon/Georgia rematch in the CFP, it'd be one hell of a game.

Slightly bigger image to go off of 😀 If Oregon ends up at #5, that's not a terrible position to be in. Face off at home against #12 (whoever that is) then fight with Texas Tech (assuming they beat BYU) who lost to ASU earlier this season. Ohio St would have an interesting match up with the winner of Alabama/Oklahoma. I kind of want Oregon to stay at #6, not only to avoid Ohio St until the last possible game but also possibly getting DL a rematch with Smart and Georgia. I think everyone agrees their first head to head wasn't really fair to start out with.

Guess Hampton becomes the new DC. He's done a great job with the DB group so it's the next logical step. Now DL needs a dynamite defensive line coach to come in.

I can't think of any reason for him to go Vanderbilt of all places over Georgia other than they backed up the truck and gave him twice as much NIL or something. That's just nuts if this is true.

So many of these coach firings are hilarious. He's only been at MSU for 2 seasons, what kind of changes were they expecting in such a short timeline? It's freaking M...S...U... 🤦‍♂️

Depends. If you're the 5th or 6th seed then I'd take the playoff game. You still get around 3 weeks of rest and your first opponent is either a G6 representative or the lowest P4 team that qualifies.

We're seeing the limitations that all the injuries are causing on the offense. Having both OTs and Pancho back is great but I'm guessing they're not 100% given the lack of push we were seeing for run blocking. Ditto for receiving, we need at least one of the starting WRs to come back (either Dak or Gary) to provide better consistency in the passing game. Sadiq is also banged up, that part is obvious. This is the 3rd game this season I've seen him try and make an acrobatic diving catch only to end up dinged. The extra time off can't come fast enough to allow these guys some time to heal.

Ok seriously, Sadiq needs to stop diving for catches like that. If it’s out of range then it’s out of range and that would be on Dante.

Nice to see Moore show some fire on that TD run.
