You know i really figured it was gonna be a blowout by Alabama before McCoy even got injured, but i'll give it up to Texas they gave it all they had. If Colt McCoy hadn't hurt his shoulder I could easily see Texas winning. If Mack Brown hadn't screwed up right before half and gave up another TD they could've probably won without McCoy though

I was in the same boat. I thought the game would get ugly like the UF/Cincy game. I also give it up to Texas... they showed more passion than Bama on wanting to win the championship. As for your last statement, I totally disagree with it. You could say the same about Bama giving up a TD because of a 4th and 23 fake punt at the beginning of the game. Both coaches called bad plays during the game.
 
I hate how it's all about McCoy, Greg Mcelroy Bama's QB played the game with 2 cracked ribs from the SEC Championship game, I'm guessing that's why Bama didn't pass much.
 
No one's talking about McElroy because no one gives a shit about him. He's an average QB leading a pedestrian offense. They didn't pass because they didn't have to.

I agree both calls were dumb. They way i see it though, Alabama threw a long pass in a punting situation closer to midfield. The interception eventually resulted in 3 points for Texas

Texas on the other had (with their inexperienced freshman quarterback), with around 30 seconds left till half-time (at which point they didn't know whether Colt McCoy would come back in the second half or not) near their own endzone, decided to go for it. That interception resulted in 7 points for Alabama.

Half-time score was 17-6, with Alabama having a 11 point lead.

It could have been 10-6 with Alabama having just a 4 point lead if Texas hadn't tried to go for it.

And if you go ahead and take both dumb plays out of the game it would have been 10-3 with Alabama having a 7 point lead.

The halftime score was 24-6. Texas would've led 21-17 in the 4th Quarter if they hadn't given up that interception return and everything else had stayed the same, which would've changed things.

The play call leading to the pick was pretty safe, though; the problem was not so much in the call as in the fact that the RB dropped the shovel pass.

I really don't think it's that safe of a play.

WVU had two of those shovel passes knocked around and intercepted against Auburn--including one ran back for a TD that put the game away.

They seem safe is it's a short play, but the timing has to be perfect, and the protection has to be their or there's a high risk of the ball getting deflected and being up for grabs.

I hate the play personally, risky and you hardly ever get a big gain. Just run a regular draw play. Safer and gets about the same results most of the time.

Kids these days are pussies. Miller and the other kid are just crying because they didn't get playing time.

Good Luck with that. USF is like Texas Tech; Both will be unable to grab a coach as good as the one they let go.

Bobby Knight used to rough up some players yet they all praise him.
 
God... like anybody needs anymore reason to make fun of Alabama. Displaying the trophy at Wal-Mart!!!

I love Leavitt for what he's done but if we could get Skip Holtz I'd be happy. New blood might do USF some good. The coordinators that Leavitt hired weren't very good.

Really sucks for Tennessee.

But I think it's a good hire for USC. He knows the system, he's bring his dad who's a great DC and Orgeron who's a great recuiter and it looks like Norm Chow is leaving UCLA to be the OC at USC again.

Only down side is USC is already under pressure for violations and you're bringing Kiffin who was under scrutiny himself.
 
The two main rumors for the new USF coach: Skip Holtz and Mike Leach. Wouldn't that be a strange irony. I would love to see either of them but Leach could really take the USF offense to the next level.
 
I can't see them going after Leach. Makes little sense to fire a coach for alleged player mistreatment and hire another coach who was just fired for alleged player mistreatment.

Calvin Magee--offensive coordinator under Rich Rodriguez is a name that I've seen coming up as well. Believe he has ties to USF (maybe an Alum?). He'd be a good fit IMO, but unproven as a head coach of course. Holtz would be a better hire for sure. But of course Holtz would use it as a Stepping Stone to a bigger job like Brian Kelley did at Cincy.
 
I've seen the Magee rumors to but I don't like them. They talked to/interviewed Leach and Holtz in Orlando this week.


Lane Kiffin is like Bobby Petrino. Why would any kid want to play for such an arrogant dick that'll probably leave town after 1 year.
 
1)UT is losing recruits left and right

2) I hope this helps Ole Miss pick up Markeith Ambles from UT, or Damien Robinson who was going between us, miss. state, and UT.

3)Kiffin named his kid Knox. Whoops..

4)Ed Orgeron was caught calling Early Enrollees who are already on campus at Tenn., and telling them don't go to their classes tomorrow and come to USC. (All while Kiffin is breaking the news to the team that they're leaving) They don't waste time getting recruiting violations when they get a job do they?

Same reason why they came to Tennessee... for the sex :)

Seriously though most people on the west coast dream to play at USC hence why they get their pick of the litter. It doesn't matter who coaches there; they will always have the talent. I also found it ironic that he goes from one school under investigation for inappropriate recruiting to another school that is under investigation for booster practices (like players haven't had rewards given to by boosters... ala Reggie Bush). In addition, it ironic that Tennessee is rumored to try and bring back Fulmer who they fired just a year ago.

Being an FSU fan... I love to see the UF fans starting the fear the fact they will now be in the position we and Miami have been in for a couple of years. Their fans are so arrogant; it makes it that sweeter to see. On that note... to add to the list of people lost that I posted a week ago... Major Wright (starting safety), Maurkice Pouncy (starting center), and Carlos Dunlap (top def lineman).

Yeah, I saw this morning that they are indeed after Leach.

Just puzzling to me to fire a coach for player mistreatment, and hire another coach who was just fired for player mistreatment.

Should give Leavitt some ammo in his law suit IMO. Hard for USF to strongly argue that they wanted to fire him and hire a coach who treats players well if they hire Leach.

I figure Holtz is probably their top target though, and more within their budget etc.

Have you followed Oakland for the past 10 years?

This is hilarious. Anyone who comes out and makes statements like this doesn't look at the facts and blindly judges the situation. What was the main problem that Al and Lane had? Oh yeah it had to do with that "great player" JaMarcus Russell. Lane didn't want him, but when you reflect on the situation, he has been the only person to get anything out of the kid. Lane had that team moving in the right direction and Al just shit the bed by constantly trying to fire him without giving him an opportunity.

Also if anyone else says they wouldn't go after their dream job if they knew they could get it they are crazy. He gets to go to LA where he will be the guy. He won't just be another face in the SEC, but rather he will be the guy in a city that doesn't have a professional team and a city that loves football.

Yep, that and Lane wanted to fire the defense coordinator and Davis wouldn't let him. Pretty absurd to not give a head coach full control over their staff.

As a Raiders fan, I liked Kiffin and think the team would be in much better shape today if Davis would have kept Kiffin and let him coach, along with hiring a GM, and stay out of day to day operations.
 
Looks like Skip Holtz is the new USF coach. Good hire for them. Glad to see it as the Big East needs USF to do well.

Hope East Carolina hires a good coach to replace Holtz, as WVU plays them regularly (have a couple years off now I think, and then a new 7 game series) and I'd hate for them to go back to being a strength of schedule sucking bottom feeder vs. the solid out of conference game they've been in recent years.


Elsewhere, Wil Muschamp turned down an offer to coach Tennessee.
 
Only downside is Holtz will definitely leave for a bigger job in a few years if he continues to have success.

But that's just the nature of the Big East, all of the programs are stepping stone programs so no young coaches are going to stick around for ever when bigger programs come calling.
 
The TEnnessee Vols need to get Chris Peterson. Otherwise they need to suck it up and ask Fulmer to come back.

Otherwise, we need to fire the AD for his bitch ass moves this past yr

Glad to see Holtz in a major conference now good luck to him! I have also enjoyed watching the WVU vs ECU games the past few years so hopefully they don't become a shadow of their former self.

Muschamp is a shoe in for the Texas job once Brown retires. So no matter what position opens I don't see him leaving Texas.
 
There's no way Peterson would take that job. He's pretty committed to staying out west from what he's said, if he leaves Boise at all.

He's got a great gig, and former Boise Coach Dan Hawkins (and the one before him I believe) telling him how they regret leaving etc.
 
They've not hired Dooley yet, and I'm hoping they don't. He's got a losing record in the WAC, which means he likely won't compete for shit in the SEC. UT should just lick Philip Fulmer's balls and beg him to come back.

Seriously Dooley wtf choice is that... fucking stupid... has the AD fucking lost his mind
 
Let's not act like he was their first choice for head coach, they've pretty much so got declined by everybody. They asked me if i wanted to coach last night but i had to turn them down because the new season of American Chopper was coming on.
