We’re sure getting our money’s worth out of those chrome lids this year.

I saw a comment on a story earlier that stated: ”Never pay a man who goes by Jimbo any more money than what is required to fix your car.”

This is a great video. Pate always has his finger on the CFB pulse, so I find his stuff very informative. The biggest takeaway from this is when he said he knows “definitively” there are coaches in the mix that aren’t on anybody’s radar. We’re talking Riley to USC type of stuff. It’s at the 5:30 point in the video.

I really don’t think A&M is serious about DeBoer. He’s a great coach, but they need someone who can recruit Texas and the South. DeBoer hasn’t done a really great job of recruiting the West Coast. Transfers are fine for filling gaps, but you need a solid foundation.

Texas A&M is in a bit of a conundrum. They have a reputation as a big spender with little to no patience. A big name coach is going to want big money and he’s going to want it guaranteed. The reason being is if the Aggies pull the plug on him due to their lack of patience then he is going to want to be compensated. However, A&M might not want to make the same mistake they made with Jimbo. So, it might be hard for them to pry a guy away from a job who already has a good contract and job security.

I remember that kick well. However, I gave him the benefit of the doubt because the playing surface looked like a half eaten taco salad.

This is an interesting take that should make everyone feel a little better.

I personally like Kiffin to A&M. He and Sark worked under two of the best head coaches in recent history. They’re great recruiters and offensive minded. The Aggies haven’t had a decent offense in 10 years.

True. However, we have to travel to the fertile areas.

They don’t seem to be happy in their current coaching situation. That’s so weird. Oregon upgraded their HC bigly | CanesInSight WWW.CANESINSIGHT.COM They are so happy Mario left. Watching their offense makes me sick. It’s the complete opposite of ours.

Disagree. Every team you mentioned has to come into their backyard to recruit effectively. If Lanning was in College Station he and Sark would lock Texas down. The only thing holding the Aggie football program back is their management.

In all fairness to A&M, it’s a top 5 job in college football. Unlimited money, top notch facilities, fertile recruiting area, top conference, and most importantly….they’re starved for success. They’ll do anything to win. The drawbacks to coaching there are obvious. They want immediate success, so their coach will always be standing on a trap door. Also, they’re currently getting burned by a fully guaranteed contract, so their new coach likely will have a 3 year window to win the SEC and National Championship. Oh, and if he doesn’t, he only gets a percentage of his contract after getting fired.

Oregon might do well to make DL a $10M/year head coach. He’s proved that he’s worthy and it’s the kind of thing great programs do to maintain stability.

Here’s a novel idea. Hire a great coordinator at a modest salary and then give him time to develop and earn a bigger contract. A&M likes to throw money at the hot name and then hope they can fix their problems. They want somebody else to do the work and then buy them.

It would be nice if Mario could works some magic and knock off FSU and/or Louisville. He’s always good for an inexplicable upset or two.

He’s not wrong at this time. Alabama has come back and beat some good teams. Oregon has one win against a team with a winning record (Utah). Everything will get sorted out by conference championship weekend. There’s still a lot of football left and Duck fans know that a late season trip to the desert with championship (and Heisman) hopes rarely ends well.

It’s as simple as this. Oregon needs to win out and they need Georgia to win out. That would effectively eliminate Texas because their best win would be against a two loss Alabama team.

The opening frame is awesome. It reminds of this picture I saw on Twitter.

Some of us tried to warn them, but they wouldn’t listen. Apparently, they need to go back and check their social media posts about how great Mario was going to be for The U. I distinctly remember reading about how he couldn’t win big at Oregon because our program was trash and had no tradition. Miami was going to give him the tools to win national championships like the old days. I see a lot of transfers coming out of Miami in the future. Tyler Van Dyke is going to leave and look like an All-American on his next team. I also don’t see his coordinators hanging on too much longer. Era defining game. Mario is the bust we all knew he'd be | CanesInSight WWW.CANESINSIGHT.COM This is what the next 5 years will look like in the Mario Cristobal era. Coaching scared. Antiquated offense. Absolutely HORRENDOUS feel for the game. He will never be able to...

Miami is looking like a team coached by Mario Cristobal. Flashes of greatness followed by complete ineptitude. I think he gets one more season to win the ACC before they cut him loose.

USC’s defense plays good in spurts, but gives up a ton of big plays. They’re making a Mike Leach reject look like Emmitt Smith. Their offense will be a handful next week. I hope we don’t get a repeat of 2011.

Dabo would call that “Tyler Talk”. For reference…

I love Bo Nix’s play and all, but Jalen Daniels is ridiculously talented. He definitely deserves an invite to the Heisman ceremony. Unfortunately, he has the same problem Caleb Williams has. No defense.
