Urban Meyer said he thinks Penn State over reacted when they fired James Franklin. I agree with Meyer.

As he puts his name in the hat...lol.

Suggests in we lose to A&M, Kelly likely gone. I don't believe the leash is quite that short.

Brian Kelly Just Sealed His Fate At LSU

With the Tigers' latest loss to Vanderbilt, LSU head coach Brian Kelly may not survive to see 2026 in Baton Rouge.

I think Kelly gets one more year. Fire Sloan, hire a quality replacement, see where we are next year. But because the contracts are overly generous, its no skin off BK's back if he fails. After next year, if he's fired we still owe him another 40 million.

When i read this, i thought the guy was nuts.....maybe we need to ask him for his crystal ball when hiring a new coach.

Well it was.

 

[Nutriaitch]

so Auburn has an opening and Ole Miss has a coach people want

@Fishhead if your boy was really on top of his online trolling game he would tweet out a pine box type comment right about now.
heads would explode from both fanbases trying to read into it.

It sure was easy disliking Tubby.

Now, Penn State needs to do us a solid and hire Brian Kelly!

Auburn - not Arkansas - signed Golesh:

Silverfield to Arky
Sumrall to Florida
Golesh to Auburn
Kiffin to LSU

all very solid hires.

Silverfield to Arky
Sumrall to Florida
Golesh to Auburn
Kiffin to LSU

all very solid hires.

Honestly, the weakest of all those hires might be Sumrall to Florida.

The jump from Tulane to a major SEC program might be too much. His resume (on paper) is not that different from Billy Napier's resume when they hired Napier.

I'd wish him well, but it's Florida.
