How many do you think Kim gets right here? Does Sark sell the couch for the Titans? Baby Neuheisel to the Boov? J?

Do NFL teams actually want him? Honest question

-
honestly seeing him in Corvallis would be must see TV
-
Closest thing to a current version of Dennis Erickson. They are probably too resource strapped to actually make any waves, but I’d pay attention to that experiment.

This is hilarious. There's so much pure Kim in here:
-Hyping Sark
-Foolishly trolling Oregon. Lanning leaving for Florida would be such a backwards move for him
-Making sure to mention guys who probably talked to him twice in Kirby Moore and Denbrock and Grubb for no reason
-Dooging (Judd stays)
I bet he is right about one. Broken clock. It could be that Judd stays.
-
That's almost as good as… Sarkansas!
-
Jedd stays is the only one on that list I think actually comes true. Also I like how he has two coaches going to Penn state
-
I could see them accidentally hiring both
-
The other one that is plausible is the comment on Grubb
-
Lanning has turned every job before they opened from what I’m hearing.
Franklin to Stanford? Not enough rape scandals swirling there I suppose.
Little Jerry stays or gets the vacant UW OC job that Dougherty leaves for the Oregon State jawb.Drinkwitz to Penn state? Not a fit at all. He’s from Oklahoma so I would think an open Texas, Oklahoma or even the LSU job would be his if he wants. Could go to Auburn if Freeze is let go.
Malzahn gets a look at Arkansas probably unless he doesn’t want to HC anymore. He did give up on UCF for the Florida State OC position. Dumb.
Ryan Grubb returns home to Iowa if Matt Campbell leaves somehow.Sark is going to fulfill Derek’s prophecy of failing up to the Cowboys. It’s like a Babylon Bee sports article coming true.
Brian Kelly might be done forever. He did kill a kid. If you don’t win, killing kids comes back to the surface. Win and fuck em apparently.Kirby should be on the UW short list if Judd bails.
I’d take Ed O as well
-
Lanning doesn't stay at Oregon because he loves Eugene or is an alum
Oregon stepped up.
-
I hadn't thought about Grubb actually. I'd definitely consider it if I was a non-Top 25 type program but being OC at a program like Alabama right now is probably a better gig than a lot of HC positions.
Mentioning Denbrock is just so funny. He's a career assistant in his 60s.
Man I would be so pissed to be at Penn State and fire Franklin to basically hire a different version of him. I'd much rather take a swing on a young guy coordinator type.
-
Penn State should hire Dilly
-
I mean. One person at Oregon. But still. I doubt he ever leaves unless it's to the nfl.
-
The NIL era and what it takes to cement your staff and roster now makes it so that these schools posturing to their fans will end up taking lower level head coaches to save money but will claim that they've found the next Cignetti to smooth everything over.
Lanning has a small, probably nothing chance to go to LSU. I don't think him and Jutt are leaving.
-
Lanning was never offered the Bama job for the 50th time.
They weren't going to offer him when they could get DeBoer, he was 0-3 against DeBoer.
Lanning to LSU is an interesting one. I could see it.
-
1 you don't know that and 2 it's not the only job
-
It would be kind of crazy for almost anyone to not consider LSU. That state produces the most NFL players per capita and tends to produce high level talent even within that. Feels like them and Kiffin is a perfect marriage right now though.
-
all the LSU insiders have already said Lanning is impossible. He has both Oregon and Nike buyouts that go into the $50 million+ total range.
-
Sounds like Oregon stepped up
-
Unfortunately, Oregon might secretly be the best job in the country. You have unlimited resources and should never win less than 10 games. Even if you do manage to fuck that up, I don’t think they’d ever fire you for going 8-4 or something.
-
I don’t know about that. Oregon is not what it once was. Expectations are astronomical every year because there are zero (see what I did there?) excuses for not being a playoff team.
If Lanning goes 8-4, he may not get fired, but there will be a lot of Duck fans ready to haul his ass out of town in their beater 4x4.
-
It is a great job. They have everything you need to produce a winner, but there isn’t crazy pressure where one mediocre season gets you canned.
UW is a great job for the same reasons. -
I agree that Oregon combines slightly less win or GTFO while having more money than a lot of these SEC schools, and Lanning has turned himself into a quick hero by hammering that he will never leave, but I think they still justifiably have high expectations. Especially with grim reaper hopefully sitting in Phil's bedroom.
An 8-4 season there should and would get you on the hotseat. Especially playing against the mediocrity and drek that is the Big 10 outside of Ohio State.
-
As @DerekJohnson wrote, Lanning loves winning more than his own wife.
This season feels different. The offense has been up and down more than any previous season. Stein is predictable to a lot of savvy DCs, as evidenced by 2 years in a row of being stifled by shitty Wisconsin and the IU debacle. There's no upward trajectory or clear indication this team has any chance in the playoff, which i doubt it will make anyway.
I think Lanning might consider LSU if Oregon tanks down the stretch, which I think is a distinct possibility. It could be a visceral decision that he regrets, but this is the year to leave. So many openings. He could name his price. I think LSU would be the place he'd consider. He'd outperform Brian Kelly by year 2 at the latest.
I hope he stays but hookers and blow are powerful drugs.
-
My big question with Oregon's offense was seeing it without a true running threat at QB. I don't know how dangerous it would be without one. Then you don't have guys who are really deadly at WR like Franklin and Tez Johnson. Then you replace a first round LT with a guy who wasn't even an All-Mountain West guy but who got declared a first round pick…I'll stop there…
-
I think the season is pretty much in line with what people expected back in August. The problem is winning at penn state shifted quook’s and their media enabler’s (Pate and pickell) opinions from 10-2/9-3 borderline playoff team to “we natty bro”.
Now it turns out Penn state isn’t good and expectations are snapping back to where they were 2 months ago.
-
if Bama wins a natty this year I could see Grubb getting offered and taking Iowa State if Campbell finally pulls the trigger to leave or Iowa if Farentz is ready to call it quits after getting the all tim B10 wins mark. He’s an Iowa guy. Might be down to go home for 5-6 million per year. Either program would be blown away by what a 21st century offense looks like up close.
-
10-2 was the expectation if not the floor given the middling schedule.
We expected to lose at PSU but all other games were favored Oregon.
I hate that the PSU game has been tainted badly because I think every team outside of OSU and IU loses that game. Years of big game James narrative and enormous pressure cratered that team.
I'm convinced the PSU fallout also has affected Oregon. Can they get it together for Iowa? I'm not expecting so. This game determines the season.
