Agree.

I wonder if Golden even wants a HC job? He'll be 56 by the start of next season. He's clearly found his niche and is making great money at ND. Like you said- they've got a real shot to win a title. Could Golden go somewhere else and win a title, as HC? I'd probably doubt it. He could coach D here for 5 more years, win a TON of games, make a bunch of money, then sail off into the sunset after having a helluva career in football and at ND. He'd forever be revered by the ND football family and fanbase.

That's pure speculation on my part. I have no idea what Al wants his future to be. Maybe he's chomping at the bit for an HC job.

But as long as they keep paying him....he's got it pretty damn good here.

My feeling is this...
He's just killing some time until PSU comes calling and they will be calling. Might be in a couple years but they're calling. You write that down.

Franklin is EXACTLY like Brian Kelly.
Fools gold. Perhaps less of a clown than Brian Kelly but still simply fools gold.

PSU has had an easy schedule this year with one tough game. OSU @ home and they lost that game. AGAIN! 7 or 8 losses in a row to OSU. 🙄🙄🙄

P.s.
Open the damn vault up and make AG the highest paid assistant coach in the country and keep him until the PSU call happens. Nothing will stop him from finishing out his career at his Graceland.

No chance. It would be an absolute fluke. They'd be extremely fortunate to win one game of an 8 game SEC schedule. The worse team in the SEC is significantly more talented than Army. Beat a bunch ? Like who ?

Nonsense.

Vanderbilt lost to Georgia State.

Miss state got beat by Toledo by 24

Kentucky has 6 losses

Auburn lost to California

Oklahoma beat Houston by 4

Arkansas lost to Oklahoma State by 8

To act like Army couldn't beat any of these teams is an obvious SEC bias for sure.

Would they, who knows. Can they on a given day, absolutely

I dont think ND lacks warm bodies even with the injuries. They are stacked with a ton of good players. What they lack are great players though. And the tier 1 and tier 2 teams are loaded with them.

More NIL budget would allow ND to replace some of these good players with elite difference makers at the high end.

If we didn't have the injuries to key players and Leonard wasn't annointed the starting QB, we clearly had an A+ lineup that would have competed for the title. No doubt about it. If we get into the playoffs we have an outside shot at winning. How would more NIL money solve the injury bug and the choice of QB by the coaches?
Click to expand...
The choice of QB was the only one to make. He's by far the best qb for this season and team. Not even a debate

IU has big money behind the football program. Cig has never had a losing record as a head coach. IU has several underclassmen performing at a high level. Great continuity on the coaching staff. His new package included more money for his staff. The financial impact for the IU community has been substantial. I think it was a smart move. Cig wants this to be his last stop. Why not?
Click to expand...
Of course it's a smart move if they've made a series commitment to the football program. Time will tell if he can recruit well enough to have it be sustainable and not be overly dependent on portal players.

Fighting Kelly’s of LSU

Brian Kelly tends to have seasons where he's all in or all out (thinking of some of the up and down seasons during the first half or so of his ND career).

LSU literally has nothing to play for at this point. It wouldn't surprise me if they've collectively mailed it in and LSU has one of those seasons where the bottom just kind of falls out from under it only to return next year refreshed and better than ever.
Click to expand...
That would say quite a bit about their coach eh? Look at Bill Napier, they could have mailed it in but did not. I bet Napier is at Florida longer than Kelly at LSU. You would think Kelly and his 30yrs of experience would know better.

They are a service academy. Therefore there are no athletes on scholarship. Everyone is. Some guys are recruited specifically for football and they help them with the admissions/appointments. Others try out for the team. I'm interested to see how the 105 rule impacts them moving forward.

Appreciate the heads up.
I didn’t know they could have a 1000 players if they wanted .

Edit. Another poster got me up to speed about their deal. And it makes sense now.

Really? The offense is rolling. The QB choice was clearly the right one.

If I’m Vandy…smelling blood in the water. This could be a really interesting game. Does LSU rally and take out all their frustration on underdog Vandy, or does Vandy smell blood and exploit the LSU OL and pull off another upset? Kelly simply has to come out of this game with a win at home.

Especially Clark Lea knows Kelly’s go to plays. Like the deep fade in the end zone.

I’ve followed Lane since he was an OC at USC and being fired as a head coach at USC.

Great comeback story, and IMO, a damn good head coach.

He’s perfect for a place like Oxford, Mississippi.

I’ve never liked Kiffin, and add in his lying and firing as the Raiders head coach…his leaving Tennessee, his firing at USC…etc; but he’s always been a great offensive mind and play caller. I don’t know if he’s become a better character, but he’s definitely matured and become a damn good head coach. Mississippi is a great place for him, but doubt that’s his last gig. Some LSU fans are bitching that Kelly was hired instead of Kiffin. Kiffin at LSU would be scary.

I took a look at army’s roster. Do they get more scholarship players or something. I saw they had like 20 + running backs on the roster I was looking at.
