I get the feeling that over at Clemson, Dabo is just fine with his pansy ass schedule and wants no part of the SEC.
Do you agree?
Honestly, can't say.
He has some success against SEC teams, so he may not care.

The Citadel, Uriah State, La-Monroe and Austin Peay scare the heck out of Dabo.
Nah, Clemson played the Citadel back in 2020.
They have also played UConn and Furman in recent memory.
And look, Clemson does have that power house Charleston Southern on their 2023 schedule.

Wow.
Wasn't expecting that.
Just a few days ago, talks had fallen apart regarding an early departure for UT and OU.
It looked for certain SEC expansion was going to have to wait until after 2025.

Bama's newest Cordinators
OC - Tommy Rees- OC for ND for the past 3 years. Kelly wanted Rees to follow him to LSU. Rees declined.
DC- Kevin Steele- Returns to Bama again. 3rd times a charm? Stop gap? For who then?

Guess he didn't want to be a backup at Alabama... despite being the #1 CB in high school football.
Or Saban told him to go pound sand:
"Someone with one of the best corners in the nation (in high school) came to me and asked if we’d pay them $800,000 for the player to sign here. I told him he can find another place to play," Saban said, according to Baker High School coach Steve Normand. "I’m not paying a kid a bunch of NIL money before he earns it."

Dude is going to turn Colorado into a powerhouse in one season.
In the PAC, maybe.

All over the sports news, Bama DC has accepted the same position at Ole Miss.
Got to admit, I am somewhat on the fence on this.
Great recruiter, but it was quite apparent his defenses tended to under perform.

Not true. The problem in college football has always been that only a very small number of schools actually have a chance. First it was polling, now a "better" system but still only four have a chance. Expanding to eight teams makes it better. It's much less likely that a "deserving" team gets left out of an eight-team playoff.
Really, we are typically only talking about one or two teams who get "screwed" out of the playoff in a given year -- certainly no more than four.
The BCS pitted the consensus #1 vs #2. People bitched.
The CFB now includes the consensus top 4. And people are bitching.
It will expand to 12 teams. Watch what happens. People will B word after a couple years how the same teams are constantly in it.
"The problem in college football has always been that only a very small number of schools actually have a chance."
This has been a reality for decades, even during the AP/UPI polling days.
It will not change just because "x" amount of teams can now make the playoffs.
Adding even less deserving teams to the mix is not going to improve anything.
What do you think will happen when those less deserving teams get blown out?
Answer: Even more undeserving teams will need to be added! Expand the playoffs to 16! 24!

I don’t, but they went and beat Michigan…who I think everyone believes deserved to be there. So what are you going to do? There is no perfect answer until they expand the playoffs.
Expanding the playoffs is not going to do jack s**t.
The goal posts will be moved, and a new argument will emerge to expand the playoffs even more.

Alabama and Ohio State are poster children for everything that is wrong about collegiate football.
Ooh, another awe inspiring, thought provoking, uber intelligent s**t post.
Tell us, if the Bills went on a 15 year streak of domination, winning multiple SB to the point where everybody else in the NFL fan base hates them, are you going to sit around and lament about how the Bills are the poster child for everything that is wrong about NFL football?

And in 2011, Oklahoma State would have beat both LSU and Alabama. Neither of those teams would have stopped the OSU offense. No team could. There is *nothing* anyone can say to make be feel otherwise.
In 2011, LSU averaged approx 40 points a game during the regular season.
In 2011, LSU failed to score even 10 points in only 2 games.
Guess which 2.
16 players on the Bama-LSU defenses got drafted.
There was some serious talent on those 2 teams, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
Would either team "stopped" OSU?
Maybe not.
Shut outs can be difficult to achieve.
But I can confidently say, either team would have done a much better job than Iowa St did at slowing down the OSU offense.
And I seriously doubt OSU would have been prepared for any offense LSU or Bama would have brought to the game.

I want to welcome all the trolls who suddenly found this thread after Bama stumbles.
How convenient.
But if I do say, this smells a little like 2015.
Starting QB Jake Coker was benched early in the year because of poor play.
Bama lost to Ole Miss because they insisted on giving the ball back to OM 5 times.
Pundits were claiming the Bama dynasty was over, fans of other teams were gloating at the Bama fortunes.
How did that work out?
Still 10 games to go.

Unless K State is legit, Mizzou looks like another trash team from the SEC this year.
Mizzou went to the bottom of the barrel ever since Pinkel had to retire.

Jesus Christ, what a sloppy ass game.
Was a not a fan of Bill O last year, and it looks like that is not going to change this year.

To be fair, the article does point out the conversation lasted about 5 minutes.
So nothing is happening in the near future.
But I do agree with this:
"The conversation is significant, however, in that it's the first known discussion among a group that would seemingly have the power to put such a plan in action. And the CFP looms as the most likely destination for running major college football outside the NCAA."
The NCAA has been a joke for years.
And they seem clueless on how to deal with the transfer portal and the NIL.
College football has "become" a pro sport, might as well go full in for the money, and try to regulate the portal and NIL.

Leach is a legend
In his own mind.
I'd take Kiffin over Leach all day every day.
And I would not want either one has HC of my team.

After my banking years I bought into a regional appraisal company on the west coast of Florida, then moved to ATL and worked for an appraisal management company. I then worked leasing high end properties for Sotheby's in Atlanta. (Who rents a house for $10-25k/month????)
Having said all that…..I want to confirm that Zillow is hot garbage! It’s easy, and it’s handy, but they have never been inside one of those houses. They are also FAR from current. I had listings that had been off the market for months, and I’d still get calls based on Zillow info. I also have seen multiple parcel sales shown in Zillow as though a single lot sold for that price. It is not to be trusted.
It’s OK to look at Zillow (it’s easy, after all), but it’s a mistake to trust anything you see there.
There is also this to consider.
Rant over, for now.
Zillow's wasn't trying to manipulate the market, Zillow's valuations models were f***ing terrible.
Zillow started Offers with the intent of proving their valuation algorithms were highly accurate.
They got into the house flipping business.
It ended in a disaster.
Zillow lost hundreds of millions of dollars (400+ IIRC).
They shut it down, and cut 25% of their employees.

Jeremy Johnson has had a great deal of
misfortuneMalzahn with football.FIFY
On 3/6/2022 at 9:22 PM, Southern_Bills said:He was touted as a Heisman favorite and opened the season against an unknown true freshman named Lamar Jackson 😳, he was not the best QB on the field that day.
In all honesty though Johnson was never that good at Auburn, just a highly touted recruit that didn't pan out. He always seemed like a good citizen though.
Under Malzahn, Auburn was the place QBs went to wreck their career.
Stidham was another highly touted "Heisman" possibility Malzahn ruined.
Regarding Johnson, I don't get the piling on by the OP either.
Its' not like Johnson is Manziel or "Manziel-esque". A train wreck you can't help but to watch.
Talking about how bad someone has to be, Manziel is now playing in the Fan Controlled Football League.

The other day, I couldn’t remember who the Bills offense coordinator during the SB era was after Ted Marchiabroda left to coach Indy.
I looked it up only to find that there really wasn’t a direct replacement. Marv did two things - promoted running backs coach Elijah Pitts to Assistant HC and named Tom Bresnahan OC on top of duties as OL coach. So it wasn’t a situation like we just had in Buffalo where Dorsey was promoted to OC and then Joe Brady was hired to take his job as QB coach.
Does anyone remember what went into this decision to not replace Marchiabroda with someone from the outside?
Also what was the role of Elijah Pitts as Assistant HC?
He still served as the RB coach.
I believe the "promotion" to Asst HC was more about giving Pitts a title more than anything else.
1 hour ago, JohnNord said:Finally I noticed that Bresnahan along with DC Walt Corey had position responsibilities on top of their jobs as coordinators. Was this something the Bills did to save money on coaches? Oddly enough Marchiabroda was only OC.
Even though there was no official position while he was on staff, Marchibroda also served as the QB coach.
After Ted left in '91, the Bills created the QB coach position, and hired Jim Shofner.
Football back then is not like it is today in regards to the coaching staff.
It was not uncommon for an assistant coach to pull double duty back then.
Walt Corey was both the DC and the LB coach.
35 minutes ago, Special K said:Jim Kelly was OC.👍
This.
Did not matter who helped set up the game plan, Kelly was calling the plays when he took the field.
ROLL TIDE!!
