LSUDad Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Ex-Ohio State Player Shares Graphic To Prove Michigan 'Cheated' ANDREW MCCARTY8 MINUTES AGO INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - DECEMBER 04: Head coach Jim Harbaugh of the Michigan Wolverines walks on the field after winning the Big Ten Football Championship game against the the Iowa Hawkeyes at Lucas Oil Stadium on December 04, 2021 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images) One former Ohio State player thinks he has proof that Michigan was cheating. It came in the form of a graphic put up by ESPN on Thursday. The graphic showed Jim Harbaugh's record at Michigan before and after hiring Connor Stalions as an off-field analyst. Harbaugh sported a 69-24 record before Stalions and a 21-1 record after Stalions, with an improvement on both the offense and defense in terms of points per game. Former Ohio State defensive end Matt Finkes thinks that's proof enough that Michigan cheated. For all the “can’t beat us on the field so have to hope we get punished” Michigan folks out there, before you try to play that card, consider the “couldn’t beat us on the field so had to resort to cheating” reply Michigan cheated "For all the 'can’t beat us on the field so have to hope we get punished' Michigan folks out there, before you try to play that card, consider the 'couldn’t beat us on the field so had to resort to cheating' reply," he said on social media. "Michigan cheated." The sign stealing scandal has dominated the world of college football and doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Zach Arnett is out at Mississippi State before completing his first season. One reason MSU is pulling the plug early is because it can afford to make the move. As a first-time head coach born in 1986, Arnett did not demand a huge salary when he was hired to succeed the late Mike Leach. According to The Clarion-Ledger, documents show Arnett’s buyout requires Mississippi State to pay 50% of his remaining $9 million salary.

True, but you can do that with the contract terms. I don't think anyone will be offering a Jimbo type contract, but a good coach would demand a four or five year deal with a favorable buyout to the coach. Arnett had no other shot at a head coach job, so he took a chance, took a poor contract for the opportunity. If that's the only shot you have, take it. He is not suffering financially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss state has not hired a "big name" coach, since maybe Jackie Sherrill who won a natty at Pittsburg with Tony Dorsett. Sherrill went to A&M for the biggest contract ever for a college coach (can't say A&M has been cheap), and after 6 years underwhelming years, Sherrill went to Miss. State and was underwhelming. I don't think State will go big game hunting. Sherrill was pretty innovative.... "September 23, 1992 -Mississippi State University’s football coach had a bull castrated in front of his team before a big game this month because he thought it would be “motivational and educational.” Jackie Sherrill, the head coach at Mississippi State, invited the bull’s owner to castrate the animal on the practice field in the week preceding the team’s victory over the University of Texas at Austin. The Texas mascot is a longhorn steer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of aTm: Brian Kelly rumors: Texas A&M insider suggests LSU coach could pursue possible big-time job opening Andrew Olson | 51 minutes ago Brian Kelly is not yet 2 full seasons removed from leaving Notre Dame for LSU. According to one college football insider, though, there is some chatter about Kelly potentially leaving for another job. Texas A&M insider Billy Liucci, who broke the news of Jimbo Fisher’s firing, recently appeared on “Pregaming the SEC” with Jacob Hester and Chris Doering. While talking about possible landing spots for Fisher, Liucci brought up a potential move for Kelly. “There’s a couple people in coaching that told me, ‘Hey, watch out for Brian Kelly. He’s not a perfect fit there in Baton Rouge. He might be pursuing that Michigan job if it comes open,’” Liucci told the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Thought some would like a little humor today. Billy is a clown. Kelly to aTm? I like to look back at the hires, an the wonder why folks laugh at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The house of cards premise that the A&M booster was spewing is that Michigan will fire Harbaugh (which would lead to Kelly becoming interested because there is food more to his liking up there?) Michigan is happy with Harbaugh even with the cheating scandal... he isn't getting fired and isn't going to bolt for the NFL. But even if all of that falls into play and Michigan makes Kelly an offer, Woodward will show his poker face and let likely Kelly walk rather than put LSU in a position with Kelly that A&M did with Jimbo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Michigan hasn’t won a NC in 25 years. Since 2000, LSU has played in 4 and won 3. Where you going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a "perfect fit" coach and that didnt end well Perfect Fit? That term is a joke. At LSU, you win, you fit. If you do what you’re supposed to do on and off the field, you fit in. Jay Johnson, born in California, the furthest he’s coached East was in Arizona. LSU has had a number of not good fits. What about the two Hillbillies? Paul Finebaum asked LSU athletic director Scott Woodward about the back and forth between the Alabama coach and Texas A&M coach. “I’m not going to get in between two hillbillies fightin’ from West Virginia. That’s a no-win situation,” Woodward said when he made an appearance on “The Paul Finebaum Show.” Les Miles, a fit? Dale Brown? Skip? The list is endless. Mulkey and Woodward are from here, O was one of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 No coaching change at Baylor yet, but Aranda is on the hot seat. He talks about not doing well with NIL. Word was he did not like to recruit, may be why he ignored NIL. Good coordinator, not a good head coach. The head coach is supposed to be the recruiting closer, Aranda does not inspire.
