Florida is awful...

You have no idea. I am an officer in the local Gator Club, and I have watched every game this season. Jim McElwain was brought in to rebuild the offense in particular. It's just as bad as it was under Will Muschamp. They have backed into the SECCG the past two years because the SEC East is at a historic low point in terms of strength and competition.

The offensive line is terrible, can't pass protect or run block against top competition. The quarterback play has been atrocious - but then the two candidates were a guy who couldn't earn a scholarship at Alabama or start at Oregon State, and a graduate transfer from Purdue. IMO McElwain is gone after 2017 unless there is marked improvement in the offense. The defense, which has been the only thing keeping the Gators in games, loses six starters after 2016.

what do you consider mad money? he can get whatever he wants from Bama. 

if he leaves, it won't be for money. IF he were to leave, I don't see any chance in hell it would be for LA. 

I didn't say how big a dream (Herculean) it would be.    No doubt that Bama doesn't want him to leave.

Besides, Demoff and Snead are dimwits, and wouldn't know a real coach if one bumped into them.

Is it just me.  (and probably because I follow very little football)  But does a Penn St vs USC Rose Bowl sound a lot better (like I'll want to watch) than any matchup in the the College Football Championship? 

only if you aren't an ohio state fan.

Let him go to Oregon

With all of that Nike money and a national image, I'm guessing that Oregon is aiming a bit higher than Jim McElwain.

They need to recruit murderers again

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Far as I know they only had one of those, and he was a tight end.

[Adam]

But he was good!

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Yes, but he had this nasty habit of shooting people.

Oregon is a good job but it isn't an elite job.

This season's Cinderella darling?

Western Michigan is ranked #15, and playing in a Big 6 January 2nd bowl (Cotton Bowl).

Fun team to watch, scores at will.

Ohio St vs Clemson is a much better matchup

Let me see if I can conjure up a scrap of sympathy for Urban Meyer.

Sorry, nope.

[Tank]

Well, that really blew chunks.

Turned out it was only good for Clemson.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I'm wondering if Urban Meyer will follow his old pattern. At Florida, he won two national titles and then he bailed when he couldn't duplicate his success after Tim Tebow graduated. He won a national title at Ohio State, and now he just got his ass handed to him in a playoff game. NFL, maybe?

seems weird:

Lane Kiffin will not coach for Alabama in national championship game

The program announced Monday that Lane Kiffin will immediately move on to his new role as head coach of Florida Atlantic. With that move, which Tide head coach Nick Saban said on ESPN was a decision reached mutually on both sides, Steve Sarkisian will assume the role of offensive coordinator against Clemson.
