Waiting for Fulmer to name himself head coach.

Hammer755 12-01-2017 04:28 PM

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see Fisher as an upgrade over Sumlin, like at all. I think the Aggies will always have a tough time competing in that division.

Maybe, but unlike Sumlin he's got a championship ring.

So this is fun, before this season Bruce Feldman at SI did his 30 Hottest Names on the Coaching Carousel (divided into 15 coaches at smaller programs and 15 coordinators). Obviously Frost helped his status this year (he was listed as the #6 head coach) and other names like Satterfield have been throw around. I found #3 in the "Rising Assistant Coaches" to be quite amusing considering the last week.

Eh, I figure he'll find some crony for it.

ISiddiqui 12-01-2017 05:23 PM

"Fillip Pulmer is a great coach, I swear"

RainMaker 12-01-2017 05:25 PM

I think Mike Leach would have been a real fun hire. SEC coaches are boring and he'd at least be interesting on the biggest stage.

GrantDawg 12-01-2017 05:31 PM

Fulmer is going to go get Tee Martin. This is what the fan base wanted. I honestly don't know if it isn't what they needed as well.

Atocep 12-01-2017 05:41 PM

Hiring a guy with zero head coaching experience that doesn't call plays is exactly how you win in the SEC.

You know, I don't know. IF Tee Martin hires the right OC and DC, it entirely could happen. I'd say you get an old school SEC DC, maybe someone that has head coaching experience. Then, a innovative play caller on OC. Let Tee be the CEO and really recruit his butt off. Could work.

GrantDawg 12-01-2017 05:46 PM

The Gus Malzahn smoke around Arkansas is very interesting. If he leaves Auburn, how many more dominoes fall?

MrBug708 12-01-2017 05:46 PM

Damn, was hoping Tee would stay at SC. Killer recruiter but from reading the SC message boards, a lot of his OC duties left a lot to be desired

bhlloy 12-01-2017 05:50 PM

Yeah, there is some debate about who is actually calling the plays but assuming it’s been Tee don’t think many USC fans will be too devastated. I think he was out of his depth as an OC. Might end up being a better HC as he’s personable, a great recruiter and the kids like him but that’s a huge gamble for a program like UT (or at least the program they were before the last 10 days happened)

CU Tiger 12-01-2017 06:32 PM

Kevin Steele?
Really?

Bahahahhaha

bronconick 12-01-2017 06:58 PM

Someone in the PAC-12 is dumb enough to schedule their championship game in Santa Clara during rush hour

The only consolation is that Helton's brother will most likely get the OC duties. He might end up being dynamic, but at least for now, the level of neoptism will likely drive the fans crazy.

Anyone know if Bryce Love is playing hurt tonight?

That kid has heart. Couldnt be more impressed with him this season.

Haven't heard anything about it.

Eaglesfan27 12-01-2017 10:38 PM

USC with a huge call on 4th down to seal the win! Pac-12 Champions!

Yes. He's only had one healthy ankle for several weeks now.

vex 12-01-2017 11:39 PM

He's a warrior. So we were told 8,000,000 times.

MrBug708 12-01-2017 11:48 PM

I'll say this for the Trojans, they do find ways to pull out wins. Good teams can usually do that

tarcone 12-02-2017 12:04 AM

Man, what happened to Washington?

hollmt 12-02-2017 10:52 AM

Can someone explain to me why FSU is playing today?
If they had won their division, wouldn’t they be in the ACC Champ game....what am I missing?

digamma 12-02-2017 10:56 AM

It was rescheduled after the hurricane with a contingency/buy out if they got into the championship game.

hollmt 12-02-2017 10:58 AM

Ok. I figured it had something to do with the hurricane I just didn’t know about the buyout.

digamma 12-02-2017 10:59 AM

They ended up needing it to for bowl eligibility. (Assuming they win.)

CrescentMoonie 12-02-2017 11:42 AM

UCF looks like they're going to roll a good Memphis team again and win the 4th best conference this year.

I'll LMAO if they lose. :p

CrescentMoonie 12-02-2017 12:02 PM

It's tough enough to keep the OU offense from scoring, you can't let their defense score as well.

GrantDawg 12-02-2017 12:02 PM

Have to root for TCU today. First, because I love chaos. Secondly, The Purple Horn Frogs is the best name for a team in all of football.


Of course as I type this, The Sooners get a scoop-and-score.

CrescentMoonie 12-02-2017 12:40 PM

And now UCF is self destructing. 3 straight turnovers, 2 in the red zone, and now an unsportsmanlike penalty on a 3rd down stop that would have forced a FG attempt.

The CM curse is alive and well

CrescentMoonie 12-02-2017 02:37 PM

48-48 going to OT. I doubt anything today matches the AAC championship game.

Thomkal 12-02-2017 03:35 PM

Well at least Coastal Carolina ended their season on a good note. They beat Georgia Southern 28-17 to stay out of last place in the Sun Belt with 3 wins. Also on a good note, their head coach, out all season with a lung issue, looks like he will be back coaching next season. They will also have their full component of scholarship players available too, so lots to look forward to next season.

CrescentMoonie 12-02-2017 04:31 PM

Georgia isn't actually going to win this thing, are they?

CrescentMoonie 12-02-2017 04:35 PM

Seems like exactly the kind of kid Franklin wants.

CrescentMoonie 12-02-2017 05:14 PM

Better nickname?

"Strength to" Kerryon Johnson

or

Kerryon "My Wayward" Johnson

GrantDawg 12-02-2017 05:23 PM

I'm just.......how much money exactly does the refs have on Auburn to win this game?

Not enough, but damn.

My beautiful wife (who is an Auburn fan except weeks like this) "Now THAT'S a hobnail boot!

bronconick 12-02-2017 06:29 PM

Anytime Danielson wants to get his dick out of Alabama's mouth would be great

CU Tiger 12-02-2017 06:34 PM

Fun fact. This is the first ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Clemson has played in, and 3rd total, I am not attending in person.

Atocep 12-02-2017 06:41 PM

I'm going to set the over/under on turnover chain mentions tonight at 275.

GrantDawg 12-02-2017 06:43 PM

I'm in shock. I really didn't think the Dawgs could win, especially after that first half. I just can't. I can only dream that Miami wins, and Georgia plays Richt in the first round of the playoffs. Then.....the natty in Atlanta?

When Chubb, Michel, Bellamy and Carter all came back for their season year, they said there was unfinished business and they came back to win the SEC and a national championship. I thought they were crazy. Now...

GrantDawg 12-02-2017 06:46 PM

I will also say this, going back to the earlier conversation...Swift that scored that last big touchdown. He's a Philly kid, and could be at Rutgers if that had a good program. You could put him at QB and win 8 games. Just him.

hollmt 12-02-2017 07:02 PM

on a side note with all the interesting games.....

If I have to watch/listen to the Honda Holiday Road commercial much more I might not survive the night.

I would think Penn State would still have much more pull in Philly, even if Rutgers did have a good program.
