The rich get richer. - faircatchcorby - 1:51pm 2/1/21 (17) [View All]

  - Baloney it is mostly about recruiting. How blind can you be that Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio - THEISMANCARR - 9:17am 2/4/21

    - mark missed... Do you recall how good a young Saban was for years at Mich St.? He sucks right? [NT] - oldirish - 9:48pm 2/2/21
      - He wasn't that great there. [NT] - oldirish - 9:48pm 2/2/21
- Rees should get a 5 year extension for beating Clemson in a shootout. - iairishcheeks - 6:25pm 2/1/21
- rees has to start somewhere. Elliot started with clemson. So? [NT] - Hank the Tank - 1:47pm 2/1/21
  - Then I hope Rees wins a NC this year and takes the HC job - Aragoto - 5:30pm 2/1/21
  - Furman would have been a good place for rees to start. Or some MAC school. [NT] - Aragoto - 1:50pm 2/1/21

        He'd been at Clemson three years as RB coach when made Co-OC. - Napoleon - 4:09pm 2/1/21
        Elliot was 37 when he got the OC job. - Aragoto - 5:28pm 2/1/21

        Take your own advice. [NT] - Napoleon - 3:31pm 2/2/21
        
        I have no problem with you opinion that Rees was the wrong guy, though I disagree - Turkish - 9:53am 2/2/21

  - What do you rate the “ a lot smarter” on? [NT] - whatsamataU - 2:17pm 2/1/21
    - Listen to their interviews - holybull101 - 3:48pm 2/1/21
      - Speculation on your part. [NT] - whatsamataU - 12:44pm 2/2/21

    - You're forgetting one huge point - MarkHarman - 4:41pm 2/2/21
    - I think you are stretching a little. - Napoleon - 2:10pm 2/1/21
      - Wake me when rees wins The Broyles. Until then it's all conjecture either way. - Aragoto - 2:18pm 2/1/21
        So Rees is a bust until he wins Broyles. BK has won COY 3x, more than any other coach ever - Turkish - 9:43am 2/2/21
        
        Elliot winning the Broyles Award is part of the point. - Napoleon - 3:46pm 2/1/21
- Elliot didn't have much of a resume before becoming Co-OC at Clemson. - Napoleon - 12:18pm 2/1/21
  - I just thought ND went cheap and easy Mini-Me. - Aragoto - 12:31pm 2/1/21
    - I think you give the coaches too much credit. [NT] - Hank the Tank - 1:50pm 2/1/21
    - Rees did fine, given what was available. - ndunabomber - 1:07pm 2/1/21

        But my point... Did they hire Saban to teach academic classes or find football players to win games? [NT] - oldirish - 12:43am 2/2/21
