It's Christmas (almost) - Santa says you get to pick our new OC and DC

ok, he isn't  coming   you could ask though. MAKE DABO MAD I WOULD CALL ON Wednesday  multiple times.

 
I would say get some quality lateral-move guys who are proven winners who just want to work for a better boss for more money.

It rarely works out that way, though.

Malzahn and Mason have been in the Captain's chair too long.  Not the same as an AC wannabe who quickly finds out they're not cut out to be a HC.

I can see your line of thinking in regards to Malzahn, maybe - but I think Mason is less of a threat that way?

Eerie - Malzahn was fired because of bad Offenses and he was an Offensive guru. Malzahn's former DC, Muschamp. was fired because of bad Defenses and he was supposed to be a great DC. And he had been successful  - for powerhouse teams with a lot of talent.

If you cannot even coach and recruit for the side of the ball that is your strength, you have no reason to be a Head Coach.

I think that some coaches are very innovative and creative in beginning but have a hard time adjusting as other teams strategies against them evolve.

That seems to be the gist of that article - that Gus just thought he was too smart to need to evolve.

All colleges have had to furlough employees and eliminate jobs by a fair amount up to this point.

I wonder how resentful regular faculty are towards athletic programs that are shelling out outrageous buy-out money to coaches who are essentially getting rewarded for losing.

At least at state schools, Athletics has to be a self supporting operation independent of the general fund structure, so no state funding or tuition revenue can be used to support it. That’s both good and bad, but it points to why and how boosters have such a huge presence in many programs.

That's true, but I think a lot of professors don't follow sports that much and don't see the details that we can see here.

So where I am going is that they are resentful of jocks anyway and the recent cuts just increase that dislike.

They perceive sports as being more important than academics.

I was at USC in the 1980's during the bad economy when departments were eliminated and a former instructor who was angry over losing his tenure took a hostage in President Holderman's office.  He ended up blowing himself away in the office after releasing the hostage, but it was talked about for a long time afterward.

I had an instructor who took great joy in embarrassing jocks for talking during his class of about 300 people.  There are plenty of academics who hate jocks.

No doubt. Where I CAN see some people being pissed is if we have to cut some non-revenue sports ... those student athletes may have a different take on the CWM buyout than a fan would, if they find themselves out of a scholarship?

Difficult times ahead for most colleges and universities from a revenue standpoint for sure.

The good news is Beamer succeeds because of his interpersonal skills and attention to detail.  Lattimore's enthusiastic endorsement of Beamer speaks volumes because you can see that Heisman-level fire in his eyes again.  The next level.  It's what we have been missing the past several years.

News surrounding his hires will be a much-needed distraction for everyone the next few months.
