I think OM is getting credit for overpaying to keep their own players.


"XYZ team is overpaying!" was last era's "We didn't want him or didn't have a committable offer anyway".

Internet is so predictable :rotflmao:
He's not really charismatic at all - he's socially awkward and goofy - what you see as charisma is just online persona.
quote:

That's a byproduct of being 72 years old. The oldest coach in college football right now is a 73 year old Bill Belichik.

He was 12-0 in year two at Alabama and won the natty in year 3. He's the greatest of all time. Building a deep roster was a component of that, but so was elite coaching, preparation, and development.

He had the #2 overall class signed the week before he retired. The year before that he had the #1 overall class, which really just blows your argument up completely.


When did I say he wasn't a great coach, great recruiter, or wasn't getting it done?

I'm just saying what pushed his arse out of the door was the shifting landscape that had just really begun. He accurately read the tea leaves and got TF out... I'll give him even more credit for that - he left before the inevitable losses were coming.
Saban packed it in because he couldn't stack his roster as efficiently as he could in the old era, which gave him competitive advantage.

Had little or nothing to do with frustration not being able to develop players. Saban famously "processed" players all the time in the old days and nobody really faulted him for it. Those bottom roster guys weren't beyond development he just wanted the stack the deepest roster in CFB year in and year out.
In this era, player eval, scheme fit, and locker room personality means more than ever, which means the flat out star rankings are devalued because those traits aren't always represented in the online rankings.

In the old era, most elite players in college recruiting were motivated to chase their NFL dream and the money associated with it. Now since these clowns are all paid, you need to be more careful who you hand a bag of cash to. It is important to deduce whether or not a player is motivated to contribute to your team winning and not being a head case.

Canvassing the landscape to sign all the 4/5 stars isn't the cheat code it used to be.

Herbert loves throwing uncatchable passes, especially ones out of bounds.
Frank Wilson coached that shite up!

The public being so impressed with Miami win against OSU is the only reason it's changed.


This.

It was a Miami win with only a 30% win expectancy per SP+ (compared to OM's 98% win expectancy vs UGA), which joe public has no clue about.
Every week it's the same when OM plays someone good.

LSU game week: "OM hasn't seen a defense like this, 86 Bears level"

Result: OM puts up 480 yards of offense

Oklahoma game week: "OU is the best defense in America"

Result: OM scores 34

Sugar Bowl: "UGA defense is playing the best it has all season"

Result: OM scores 39



The internet will never figure out this team apparently, or are just being willfully ignorant.
quote:

One important thing you're missing...OU couldn't run the ball and sustain drives. OU had a very poor OL and 99th in sacks allowed...that was their weakness all season.

Miami is the exact opposite...monstrous OL and power run game which has been on full display in the playoffs. Thats the key to beating ole miss....keep chambliss off the field


I agree that's the key to it - easier said than done considering Georgia (a good OL and power running team) basically failed to do it 7 days ago.

Both Miami and Georgia are similar ranks in terms of EPA per rush and Line Yards.
Jimbo and Lane have always hated each other. During Lane's OM tenure when they played TAMU Lane typically found a way to shite talk Jimbo more than any other coach I can remember.
quote:

A&M scored 3 on Miami but ole piss is going to score 30?


Are there going to be 30 MPH winds indoors tonight like there were at Kyle Field that day?

OU is a comparable defense to Miami and OM dropped a 30 burger on them in Norman. It can happen again.
He's socially awkward and perpetually online - former alcoholics when they are off the sauce find other vices to fill the void chasing dopamine.
Simmons isn't much of a runner - he's more of a pocket guy. Reminds me of Penix/Tua (ironic they are both lefty) that they have some speed and can run but most of the time choose not to.

The upside is definitely there he just needs reps and lots of them. He needs an Arch Manning esque trial by fire season to work out the growing pains.
Sumrall is a great dude - you should be thrilled you landed him especially with Faulkner coming on board.
Pete is still going to call the defense next year according his early pressers after Lane left - Toney will likely be his eye in the sky for adjustments.

OM defense likely stacked next year - they retained all of their good players and are doing well on D in the portal.
Ole Miss has a good defense as well - their D is 18th in S&P+.

Sayin is a statue - Trindad is twitchy and slippery AF which can in theory negate a great pass rush. Miami will have to maintain great rush integrity.
quote:

I don’t know why you would record this at all.


It really is wild that he recorded it solely to thumb his nose at his former employer and torture the fanbase that worshipped him.... probably was jacked up at the time.

I mean holy shite what a backfire :rotflmao:

I feel like a lot of Simmons flaws were just experience-related - makes sense his entire career arc is a robotic QB made in a factory due to his upbringing with his helicopter dad.

Kid just needs reps and will in time be a beast. Hopefully Mizzou willing to be patient.

Austin returns OM vs Miz 10/17/2026 - should get a warm reception in Oxford.
Hate to say it, but LSU/Weis Jr. don't need a $5M QB. Lane for all of his personality flaws can turn chicken shite into a chicken sandwich in terms of crafting a productive college QB.

Hell if LSU were smart they'd pass on Leavitt and save their bullets for other positions since there is a current roster exodus. I don't doubt LK could make Aidan Chiles or someone in that tier a viable SEC QB.
