Yep, they absolutely got robbed on that.

USCe

beyond terrible.

Bingo!

Somebody definitely needs to take a look at the clowns calling a lot of these games because they are beyond bad.

Don't think it was, honestly. these refs are just trash.

He wasn't ejected. he's only got one T against him and Bruce sat him to try and calm him down.

Mason is now the HC at MTSU, so not likely.

It would just about have to be someone else other than Kiffin or Durkin or Arnett at this point. if it were any of them, it more than likely should have been a done deal and announced by now.

This feels like it's taking way too long to make this hire. I mean, the only 2 names i've really seen are Kiffin and Durkin, if it's between those 2 it shouldn't take this long to decide. It seems like other schools always have someone named within a few days of the position going open.

You're right, but it still doesn't make a lot of sense.

Ok, but why though? Is Nix that important to Lane's staff? seems like an odd stipulation to add to someone's contract if they're not even calling plays or named OC at the current Job.

What's the point of him doing this? Nix isn't the OC there and doesn't call plays there either. He's the AHC/WR Coach. why does it matter if he's named OC/RB coach here but not calling plays. Lane is an idiot.

Is Kiffin really that much better and worth waiting on compared to Arnett? I really don't know much about either, even less about Kiffin.

Do you really want a guy back on the staff that tried to stab his boss in the back and take his job? i sure as hell don't. let KS stay wherever he's at.

The article linked stated that he was Aranda's mentor. He originally hired Aranda to work under him when he was HC at another gig. then roles reversed and he was working under Aranda at Baylor. maybe some clashing egos?

Just read that there seems to be some noise that Phillip Montgomery might be the OC. Former HC at Tulsa for anyone that's curious.

people keep saying this about hiring the position coaches first, but it doesn't make sense. once a staff is already in place, you don't fire assistants every time you change coordinators, so it shouldn't make a difference to start with either. i think it just seems like the coordinators get hired first, but isn't and shouldn't always be the case.

Yes, i stated that in another post when someone was asking which Kelly. He went to Colorado with Sanders but some folks are saying that it's not official yet because Kelly supposedly wants the DC job here and supposedly Rane wants him to be the DC here, but Freeze supposedly wants Arnett.

Charles Kelly. he left Bama to go be on Sanders staff at Colorado but people are saying it's not official yet because he wants the DC job at Auburn.

Saw somebody say that Freeze wants Arnett but his 2mil buyout is a sticking point and that Rane is wanting Kelly but Freeze doesn't want him, so they're having a stalemate atm. this is just what i read, so take it with a huge grain of salt.

Like I said, it's pretty much gotta be one of the 2 reasons. I don't personally believe there's any strategic advantage to not announce otherwise. either we have our guy or we're still looking.

At this rate, either the hires have already been made and we're just waiting to announce since the hires may have current obligations, or CHF is getting turned down by multiple coaches for other jobs. i don't really see what the holdup is unless it's one of those 2 reasons and if it's the second reason, then that's not a good look at all.

Agreed. we should have one thread with everyone on the first page and then discussion afterwards.

If the guys refuses to come out of retirement, there's not much you can do. can't force him to come back.
