I’m sure there are a lot of factors, but Bama took advantage of it as much as anybody. The whole thing is changing, he’s old, Kirby is taking over the SEC… just might be a good time.
With the way Kirby is during press conferences, I don’t see him coaching for much long either.

Not sure what idiot would take the Alabama job. Almost impossible to live up to exexpectations.
Probably the same sort of idiot who replaced Bear Bryant. Or John Wooden or Shula or Coach K, etc.

Plenty of coaches will want it.

Oh most coach SHOULD want that job. They’ll get a metric shit ton of cash, and at least for a little bit, top tier talent (I assume not everyone will enter the transfer portal). Les Miles was an objectively shitty college football coach who won a national championship simply because he followed up Nick Saban at LSU.

Because I buy so many Mammoth/Nugs/Avs tickets I get emails about the Rapids too, and they just sent out a survey with several questions about whether or not putting an NWSL team at the stadium would make people care more about it. I know some of y'all here are still hoping to get an NWSL squad, and this is the first time I've heard anybody from KSE actually mention the idea. As far as we know the active bid to bring a team here wasn't related to the Kroenkes and they were talking about building their own venue, but obviously if Stan or Josh want a team they'll easily skip the line.

So I guess my point is, if you care about the NWSL you might want to take the survey and let 'em know. I'm sure most of y'all get the same Kroenke marketing emails I get. I don't care about any level of soccer but I figure our soccer fans deserve an NWSL team as much as any other town's.

Funniest list ever - PLEASE let it be Pat Shurmur! He’s a gem!!
Lol those are some odd lines. There is no way in hell that Alabama would even consider Deion Sanders. They are about winning, they aren't going to hire a guy who couldn't manage to beat Stanford last year at home with a 29 point lead. The guy had 4 wins last year.

Dabo is an interesting name, as a Clemson fan I hope not, and I would have said no chance in hell 2 years ago even. But now, it wouldn't be completely shocking to me.

Kiffin just makes too much sense. I'd honestly be stunned if it isn't him.

Urban Meyer is another interesting name, he's a piece of shit but absolutely knows how to win at the college level.

Too much partying beforehand.
Someone from there explained to me how one gets into a club in Utah. Basically someone has to “sponsor” you before you get in, so one person gets to the front of the line and says “I sponsor you, I sponsor you, I sponsor you…” as they walk in the door. Like…what? :laugh:

But hey, props to Utah for updating their state flag at least.

You also had to by a membership for a drinking club and the bartender's joke when asked how much a membership costs was "$5. First beer is free".

SLC Punk has some good scenes about alcohol there.

Les Miles was an objectively horrid coach and terrible person who failed everywhere he went but somehow stumbled into a national title simply because he coasted on the heels of Nick Saban at LSU. I imagine the same thing will happen to the next yahoo who takes over Alabama, though the transfer portal now being a thing could change that.

We are probably out of the era with 15+ year coaches at one school. Once Ferentz, Gundy, Whitt, Calhoun, and Swinney group all move on... I have doubts we see others approaching 15-20 years. 8-10 years looks more and more like the max. Maybe you get 12-14 in low pressure situations.

Such sour grapes. And Joker didn’t erase anything Melo did - because all I can remember Melo for is hogging the ball, not getting enough deals/money, and then bitching his way to NY. I’m glad the Nuggets don’t block away Jersey numbers for those shenanigans. Good riddance.


Melo almost singlehandedly brought the Nuggets back from irrelevance, the dark days of their flirtation with being the NBA's worst ever, and then the somehow-even-darker days of Nick Van Exel, Raef Lafrentz, and Dan Issel going on a racist rant. He made basketball fun again, and in his first season the Nuggets made the playoffs in God knows how long.

So his contribution and importance to the team was hugely important...BUT he shit all over a lot of that himself by forcing the Nuggets to trade him to one destination. And TBH I'm not even mad about that because he pretty much sucked for the Knicks and the Nuggets actually got some worthwhile players out of that, but now he keeps coming back saying he should have his number retired, blah blah blah...naw man. You slammed that door. You don't get to just walk through it again like nothing happened.

Now that he's going full-on conspiracy theory, that's just f***ing ridiculous. Nuggets had no idea they had a generational talent on their hands. Well, maybe Michael Malone did, but I doubt he played a part in him getting the number 15.

Belichick was fired by New England per source below. He kind of stood on Brady's shoulders.


Thoughts?
Oh he DEFINITELY stood on Brady's shoulders. Look at what he and his cronies accomplished without Brady. Nothing.

I will give him this--he somehow turned compensatory draft picks into a regular replenishment of talent around Brady. He let other teams spend gobs of money on Brady's supporting cast and just...went out and drafted/developed new ones. It worked like hell, so long as Brady was the guy at the center of it all.

I look forward to the New England Patriots being as irrelevant as they were when I was growing up. They had a member of that stellar 1983 QB draft class, a 1985 Super Bowl appearance, and they were STILL completely irrelevant. I hope they even go back to those silly white helmets and red jerseys with the Minuteman in a three-point stance as their logo.
