Michigan but beats Nebraska? TCU kills Purdue but loses to SMU. USC is playing like 3rd string qb but beats Utah. NC beats Miami but gets beat by Appilacian St. Maryland kills Syracuse but gets beat by Temple....I mean I could go on all day. Heck UCF lost a regular season game for the first time in like 3 years....a lot of mediocre football teams I guess. I'd say we can predict today...Oklahoma vs Clemson vs Alabama vs Ohio St. Outside of those teams I don't see anyone but maybe LSU threatening that.

That's a ton of money to give up and who do they replace him with?? I'd say the won't extend him and see how next year goes. They won't let him go into his final season in 21 if this continues though. I mean I guess you could do worse than 9-3 every year when that is enough to fill that stadium and continue to sell tons of merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losses to MSU, ND, and tOSU would be a "back breaker". Heck 2 losses out of 3 to those teams might do him in. Very well might be moot at this point. As far as who to go after...Mike Leach?

That would be a hefty buyout I'm sure. Would running that spread type offense work in November in Michigan? Couldn't do worse. Ohio State is one thing...but to get those burners up there in Michigan not sure that would work any better but at least they need to do something with their offense....hurry up something...it's terrible.

Seeking6 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Tough one for me. I despise all things Illini related so glad to see them lose but Ilike Lovie. Not sure what the right answer is there. Move on or not? It's obvious Lovie isn't the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMahon has him under contract to his Rasslinfootball League. Any AD is going to make the call, but don't get your hopes up. First realistic possibility, unless he completely just tanks at Kansas, would Les Miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said UK is desperate to be relevant in football and in the SEC if he can finish in the top 3 of the East and go to bowl games he can write his own check. I think Bob would be a chance but he may want to go back to Oklahoma and be an AD or something. I think the XFL is just a quick money grab for him. Who knows...I think a coach like Kyle Whittingham would be a good fit but they may want a young and up and comer like Matt Campbell or Neal Brown. Who knows maybe they stick with qb alums and hire Tom Brady. Couldn’t be much worse than Harbaugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd take money away from the pool allocated to their basketball roster salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Just a note on the Bob Stoops stuff. His wife loves Chicago...and they own some properties there. The only job I could see this Stoops taking is 90 miles east down the toll road. That's if that position opens up. Michigan has themselves backed into a real corner if the team/staff doesn't turn things around. Social media wise they are constantly under attack via fans, alumni and honestly the national media folks. Goes with the territory when you give $50M and the coach can't stop talking. Problem for them is there isn't one good way to get rid of a legend/alumni,etc.. One of these high major programs will eventually realize Dino Babers is a guy who should get his chance. Or maybe Matt Campbell will want to stay in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it's one of two. I forgot until just now that Stoops is an Ohio native. Should be easy to guess from there. (Hint: It's not Toledo).
