No more BCS. Yay!

And things don't get more hilarious than this:

Quote:
Alabama has hired former USC coach Lane Kiffin as its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the Crimson Tide announced Friday.

The sides agreed to a three-year deal, a source said.


How this idiot keeps managing to find a cushy job is amazing. I mean does he hold people hostage? Spike their drinks?

Kiffin did a pretty good job as a OC. Not so much as a HC. I'm kind of excited to see what kind of offense he will run. If anyone can keep him in check, it's Saban. He is also in charge of finding a replacement for AJ.

As for the playoff, hmmm, not sure how it will work out.

No one's doubting he's a miserable failure at HC (except his last 2 years at $C were very good, wish it could've continued). Hard to say after one year as OC especially with all the major players returning from previous OC Norm Chow's tenure still playing in the same system. I believe it's called Run Run Bubble Screen Punt.

He sucked as a head coach but he was competent as an offensive coordinator.
I'm guessing it was because he isn't good as a manager of people. It was pretty well documented he knew how to deal with the X's and O's but terrible at dealing with people.

Kiffin will be in Alabama, he will be a head coach somewhere again sooner than later.

The guy can recruit well, just didn't work out at USC, the sanctions hurt him badly I think.

Penn St. to make ‘major announcement’ on Saturday. PSU expected to name James Franklin the new head coach.


I wanted Mike Munchak or Greg Schiano. I've heard some people expect Penn State's bowl ban to be lifted this summer.

The whole Penn St this is very unfortunate. JoePa had a very good thing going for the school. I think Franklin is a good hire. He is a good coach. I think they are paying him 4-4.5 mil / yr.

Rumor: USC vs Alabama - 2016 Opener

Sounds like it's a possibility.

SC already has ND on their schedule that year, so they could win some extra strength of schedule points.

Proof Anthony Brown was treated like a slave, he was only given 10k in cash.

These guys are dumb as rocks, first Josh Shaw lies about his "heroics", and now this guy is waving his cash on facebook....

Anthony Brown is an idiot. Besmirching Sark's name just because he couldn't make the first team. The guy has played for so many head coaches I think he just tuned out the rest of the world and any accountability. Same with Shaw. What a sideshow...

Some good opening games. Penn St. breaks UCF's heart with a last second FG, UCLA wins, Ohio St.-Navy was close until the end, Texas A&M upsets South Carolina.

USC is looking good. Totally dominated the first quarter on both sides of the ball.

If you looked at the teams the rest of the Pac-12 played today, Fresno State is the juggernaut.

USC was opening up with Hawaii when Kiffin was coaching and looked much worse in those games.

So Lebron is at the Ohio State game with Norris Cole and Eric Bledsoe I'll laugh if Ohio State loses in front of LeBron.

Meanwhile m'Irish are up 21-0 vs Michigan.

Either Everett Golson dramatically improved from two years ago or Michigan isn't that great its early but this game seems too easy.
