Yes go Canes cause Kiffin will win a National Title at LSU. RTR!

"David Cutcliffe out at Duke"

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sports/david-cutcliffe-out-at-duke/

RichRod could have had the reins to the most prolific CFB team in history 15 years ago. Well, he now gets to be a head coach in the State of Alabama........at Jacksonville State.  :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

https://247sports.com/college/alabama/Article/Former-Michigan-West-Virginia-and-Arizona-coach-Rich-Rodriguez-reportedly-taking-Jacksonville-State-job-176697440/?fbclid=IwAR2Rfi78xJAEu_ZOb6vpQq8Gch9XnenL4ANL2ZkoWNrK63KgncucwJf95Cc

I ain't sure we want Rich Rod at JSU. We need a coach with scruples there. RTR!

OMG....Trooper Taylor is interim HC at Duke, a fine academic institution.  They better be watching that grades aren't changed.

I would love to see Cutcliffe at Bama as an O-analyst.  Or maybe QB coach.

He'll have to nudge Dan Mullen out of the way.  :lol:

Apparently official:

"LSU hires Brian Kelly: Notre Dame coach takes storied career to SEC..."

Mike Bobo is out as #Aub's offensive coordinator after one season...

Plus all the activity in the transfer portal and commits jumping ship all over the pacle, This may be the craziest regular season end ever.  :stars:

Suddenly, signing day takes a back seat.  I'm worried about losing our California commits now that Lincoln Riley is at USC.  December 15th can't come soon enough.
 :popcorn2:

Boy, no kidding. Oklahoma recruits are bailing like rats on a sinking ship.

Only the stupid ones.  :lol2:

This one is surprising.  He doesn't seem like the right fit to live and recruit amongst the coonasses, but I guess they were looking to raise the integrity standard.

Well I don't think Kelley can undo the attitude at lsu. We will still get the good ones if the GOAT wants them and CA will be tougher but we can get those that want to play for championships. RTR!

Who about RichRod to Jax St?   I guess Rita has lowered her standards a bit since 2006.

Yes sir I saw this on our board yesterday and I could not help but to laugh and out loud at one point. RTR!

Heard on "Its A Southern Thing" video about Lincoln Riley:
"He's definitely not going there"
"To LSU?"
"No, to the SEC"
"Wait a minute, he's trying to avoid a whole conference?"
"I believe so. There was a lot of whining and a liiittle bit of crying."   :lol2: :lol2:

Yes sir and Kelley stepped into the fire. RTR!

Virginia Tech has hired Penn State defensive coordinator Brent Pry ...

Washington has hired Fresno State’s Kalen DeBoer ...

 :o :o at all the coaching vacancies. Why don't somebody hire Bill obrien? RTR!

Wednesday headlines:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/32583650/college-football-coaching-carousel-latest-buzz-top-candidates-analysis-every-vacancy

1. Cincinnati's Luke Fickell will be a top target to replace Kelly at Notre Dame, sources told ESPN's Chris Low.
2. Oklahoma's Athletic Director Joe Castiglione likely to make a hire by the end of this week.  Who?  Kiffin perhaps!
3. Oklahoma: On Monday, former five-star wide receivers Theo Wease, Jadon Haselwood, tight end Austin Stogner and former Heisman-contending quarterback Spencer Rattler all entered their names into the NCAA transfer portal.

 :stars: :panic:

I guess they don't want none of the SEC either!  :lol2:

After all that has come down the pipe I wonder if they will still come to the SEC? RTR!

There's about to be a meltdown in Norman.  :lol2:

Well it is time for CNS to get some of those people that are good to transfer here. RTR!

Riley is from Muleshoe, TX. Not a good fit for LA. Of course he will be playing a PAC-12 schedule instead of the SEC. Should win at least 9 games a year with no effort. Hope he enjoys that 13% state tax in Cali.




 :lol2:

1.  According to Matt Zenitz of On3Sports, the Fighting Irish will promote defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman to head coach.

2.  Oklahoma is expected to begin its search for the next head coach. An early name in the running is Tennessee's Josh Heupel, who led the Volunteers to a 7-5 record in his first season with the program. Hupel is best known for his time as Oklahoma's starting QB in 2000.

BTW, the naming of Marcus Freeman as Head Coach at ND puts a dagger in LSU's hopes of having an easy transition into the new era.  Kelly must recruit all new coaches now, it seems. 
 :popcorn2:

Maybe he will get Pete Golding and Bill O'Brien. RTR!

ND will be making a mistake as they have in the past...remember Bob Davie replacing Lou Holtz...there are several head coaches elsewhere available that would keep them going in the right direction.

Well if ND doesn't win it would be their own fault. They could have gotten Bill O'Brien. RTR!

Manny Diaz fired at Miami.  Mario Cristobal going home to The U.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32804655/sources-mario-cristobal-leaving-oregon-ducks-football-program-miami-hurricanes-coaching-job

Dabo lost his DC and last year he lost one of his OC's. He's in big trouble in my opinion. Clemson could be looking at another 9-3 season. The offense was a disaster this year. How will the D look in a couple of years?




 :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

Hey what is Dabo' specialty, Defense or Offense? RTR!

Recruiting.  But that took a hit with the new NIL (getting paid) rules, because Clemson's fan base and small-local population is less than most of the big football schools, making recruiting tougher.

Losing Venables is a huge blow to Clemson. Between the NIL situation and him leaving, they will have a hard time recovering.

I'm still trying to understand how anybody would leave Notre Dame to go to LSU of all places.  That is like leaving church on Sunday and driving straight over to see Lori (Destiny)
Boudreaux at Arety's Angels.

:lol:

Maybe Brian Kelly expects LSU to be full of good Catholics.  Not.  It's full of Catholic girls who return from Mardi Gras with a neck full of beads.
 ;)

Seriously, I'm guessing Kelly got tired of waiting for ND to join a conference.  So he took the money.

He probably thinks that the reason he hasn't won a national championship is because he was at Notre Dame and couldn't get enough good players.  I bet he hasn't considered that the reason he got as far as he did is because he was at Notre Dame and was constantly propped up by the media, at least until another media darling came along and beat them to steal their spot.

Sadly enough, it's no longer called Arety's Angels, um, according to a friend.  :lol2:

Well I can understand Riley running off but Kelley I don't understand because he can play a Cincy type schedule and get in the playoffs. Now at LSU he has to beat GA, Fla, TA&M and Alabama every year. It won't happen. RTR!

Do they call it "It's Rolling Baby!" now?

I've heard that it's been uttered there before.  :lol2:
