Like, I think 10 year long, 100 million dollar contracts are bad business for college.

coaches for colleges but that's not something that you say when you want to attract a head coach who wants to earn that kind of salary obviously so then like the firing of the athletic director which was there's another long Ross Dellinger article in Yahoo about the power struggle between them and how they didn't really get along that doesn't sort of make them look bad too and then they promoted the interim athletic director and then like seemed like they wanted to take that back

And then they were like, no, he is the athletic director.

So like, there's been a lot of drama involved.

And then I think this Brian Kelly contract thing is the most recent piece of drama where for once, it seems like a lot of people are on Brian Kelly's side and they're like, you know, LSU should probably just pay him the money.

Like we, we don't like the guy, but you do owe him the money.

Yes, that's true.

Yeah, we can offline about this if you want.

I would love that.

Let's online about it then.

Give me your recs.

I'm writing this down.

yeah but i mean that is what the lawyers are for and that's what the money so i still think money talks i don't think like i i know i said that this was all sort of embarrassing i don't know how embarrassing it really is like you said mike there's so many marquee jobs open in this coaching cycle um that

coaches will be able to choose between different schools but if you look at a situation like florida like is their administration in a much better place than lsu's from like a organizational standpoint like that seems to have been a big issue over the last few years for florida um honestly yeah it just this is why you pay the lawyers a lot of money it seems like brian kelly thinks he's going to win uh win his case and get the buyout money so i guess that's why you pay them just books

I have a lot of thoughts about this week's rankings versus last week's where I was kind of like, me on, there wasn't that much that I think stood out.

I think the committee is probably hoping that the ACC and the Big 12 just kind of work themselves out because it's very complicated right now that you have Miami as the highest ranked ACC team, but they are almost certainly boxed out of the ACC championship game, which by the way, I

still think there's a path there i think the acc is is dumb enough that something weird something extremely chaotic could happen at the end of the season mike was mentioned mike and i were talking earlier mike thinks there's i mean it's a nuclear option that we're maybe maybe the acc champion doesn't even make the playoff yeah there's a common misnomer yeah we talked about that last year too mike i remember we were talking about the with the big 12

So you're arguing that Vanderbilt should be lower because I've seen SEC fans argue that Vanderbilt should be higher.

So this is very funny.

Let's discuss this because this is one of the interesting things that someone who is a fan of a football team that's not in a conference.
