Sometimes everything needs to meltdown to it's lowest point.

It's a legal fine line, because the schools can't collude together, and how do you salary cap?

Soon unsustainable and unwatchable. Once the rivalry games get watered down and they will without a doubt, there will not be anything exciting about it.

The problem is, it is sustainable to be this ridiculous since programs and conferences now are introducing private equity. And soon enough the Saudis could get involved. But I digress. Let’s get this convo back on Scott. We can continue this convee in the Transfer Portal thread

Alex Whittingham enters his eighth season with Kansas City in 2025 and first as assistant defensive line coach. Prior to his promotion, Whittingham served two seasons as a defensive assistant (2024, 2018) and five seasons as a defensive quality control coach (2019-2023).

Just sayin': He had been there 8 years and I doubt that he was going to be fired. He really wasn't a position coach; he was a "position coaches' assistant". See below, it does appear that he could possibility be getting a pay increase at scUM; regardless at scUM he'd be a "full fledged position coach"....


According to USA TODAY's database, Martindale led all Michigan assistants with a salary of $2.3 million in 2024, followed by first-year defensive line coach Lou Esposito at $1.286 million. Linebackers coach and defensive run game coordinator Brian Jean-Mary, who re-joined Michigan's staff after a brief stint with Tennessee, at $1.155 million and Campbell was fourth at $950,000. The $9.384 million number also includes any one-time payments such as retention payments or signing bonuses.
Here are the rest of the salaries for Michigan's 10 on-field assistants.

• Running backs coach and run game coordinator Tony Alford, $885,000.
• Defensive backs coach and defensive pass game coordinator LaMar Morgan, $858,000.
• Offensive pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy, $600,000.
• Offensive line coach Grant Newsome, $600,000.
• Tight ends coach Steve Casula, $400,000.
• Special teams coordinator J.B. Brown, $350,000.

Google AI: NFL assistant position coaches earn a wide range, from around $100K to $400, annually, with averages often cited near $400,000.

I’m talking about the kickoff return with 6 seconds left that hit the pylon with 1 second left. That should have been the last play of the game, before the onside kick.

oh yeah, forgot about that one. So much stupid stuff in that last few minutes.

The clock shouldn't have run on the "kick return" there was no kick return, Georgia jumped on the ball while Ole Miss stood around with their thumbs up their butts. As the announcers pointed out during and after the kick, all they had to do was bat it out of bounds, or literally anything to get the clock started. Letting Georgia get a free recovery was the only result that didn't end with the final second ticking off.

Darnold has Charbonnet for a walk in TD and looks away and takes a sack

Ok so the goal posts have been moved from tempo to timing of snap count and predictable play calling.

In other words you think it’s more likely that the difference between 24 results and 25 is Day as a play caller and not the QB, OL and RB personnel differences.

that actually makes sense to you?

The 24 offense was extremely underwhelming until the playoffs too. It was maddening to watch a mostly veteran offense look stuck in neutral the majority of the year. This is just going to be one of those agree to disagree arguments. I can't stand the conservative approach, especially with the new clock rules. There's a human element to the game. Constantly playing this stagnant, stale brand of offense begins to harm more than help, especially in big games.
