Kendre Harrison is going to be a beast!

I’m glad that Coach Stein took a HC job out of the conference. He would have been dangerous at Penn State.

Maybe how they treated James Franklin, after he turned the program around after Sanduski and the sustained success, scared off the top tier coaching candidates? The job is not as good as Penn State fans and boosters believed it was, which sadly they are finding out the hard way.

Coach Lanning has made good hires thus far. Who’s to say he can’t miss though? Coach Bellotti had a few duds at OC. Luckily, he realized it and moved on quickly.

I’ve been watching the show from the beginning and that’s not the “spirit” of the show. ESPN College Football Gameday was all about celebrating and promoting the culture, passion and pageantry of college football. In the past, they would have selected the B1G Conference Championship game because it’s the only 2 undefeated teams remaining - #1 vs. #2. David vs. Galiath. Now we shrug our shoulders because they picked the game that will be broadcast on their network. That’s the problem with ESPN and now College Football Gameday - they have completely sold out and are a shell of what they used to be. ESPN let go most of the people who got them to become the “World Wide Leader in Sports” and paid those who are the loudest and say the most outrageous takes. I guess nothing lasts forever…

Personally, I don’t like the idea of promoting someone without more OC experience (1 year at Rutgers?). It’s too important a position to the future success of our football program to take a chance on someone. The OC position at Oregon is one of the most coveted in college football given our reputation, talent, resources and track record of prior OCs becoming HCs. We should be able to hire a top notch, experienced OC.

Chris Henry Jr. did not formally submit his paperwork to Ohio State before the conclusion of their signing day press conference. Reports are that he is still considering Ohio State, Oregon and USC in light of Hartline’s departure and plans to sign today or tomorrow.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more conversation about ESPN College Football Gameday‘s choice to cover the SEC championship game over the B1G championship game featuring #1 vs #2 and the only 2 undefeated teams remaining. Every single day, ESPN’s bias shows more and more. What is the over/under for the number of minutes they spend talking about how Bama deserves to be in the playoff despite the result of the SEC championship game? What about Texas and Vandy?

No offense to our Dawg friends, as a lot of us root for ya’ll when our teams aren’t playing, but you won’t find a whole lot of sympathy here. Georgia still has the most talented roster in college football and I’m sure you’ll reload with a top, experienced, battle tested transfer portal QB. Now go beat the #%&@ out of Bama! I want to see the politicking kick into high gear down south come Saturday evening. LOL.

Buster Faulkner, Georgia Tech’s OC, may be the leading candidate given he seems to run a similar offensive scheme, played QB in college and coached with Lanning at Georgia. I wonder why GT’s PPG is in the low 30s? All of their team offensive stats (red zone, 3rd down conversion, turnovers lost) seems to be in the top 25 nationally. They also have a balanced attack.

I hope that happens. Notre Dame should be forced to join a real conference. No more special treatment. They could also be left out, if BYU or Duke wins.
