Ohio State is throwing so much money at football, itâs gonna be hysterical when they donât win the national title in 2024

Fleck would play very well at UCLAâŚrowing the boat and all that stuff will appeal to the LA crowd.

David Shawâs name is also in the mix.
Chip just realized as irrelevant as they were in the PAC12, theyâll be even more so in the B10+?
I never liked them but youâd have to drive all over the Midwest from Chicago to Lincoln to see as much FBS talent as you can see from Mulholland Drive. Other than their elite academics and the fact that their iconic stadium is an hour from Westwood, there is no reason why they canât finish in the middle third of the Big 10 almost every year.
And Rutgers would be elite if they could get the NJ recruits to all stay home. It helps to be local to the talent, but top teams are recruiting nationally so UCLA has to compete against USC and a couple dozen other top teams for any top LA talent.

And recruiting is something Chip hated. The Bruins arenât likely to make that mistake twice.
Funny how it seemed the carousel had shut down then BC opens up which effectively opened up UCLA which could open up Minnesota. Canât get off the carousel just yet.

Heâs been telling anyone who will listen for the past few years that he hates being a head coach in the current environment and would rather just be an offense nerd. My guess is he made some deal with Day that heâll never have to recruit ever. (And itâs not out of the realm of possibility that heâll make more money as a coordinator at OSU than as HC at UCLA.)

I read he is taking a $4m a year paycut. But if he calls fun plays he might be happier.

Also OSU has cash to burn, they can afford a bunch of analysts to supplement the main coaching staff so Kelly can focus on game planning and playcalling instead of recruiting.

According to this article, Miami has hired a new DB coach. Seems like a good young coach, but I wasnât aware that we needed a DB coach. Thought we needed to replace our WR and LB coaches. So Iâm a little confused.

Georgia State is two days into spring practice. GSU coach Shawn Elliott has suddenly resigned to coach TEs at South Carolina. 
Blanton is immature and we would be better suited for a less important role on the team.
Imo more and more college head coaches in the modern landscape of NIL and transfer portal are gonna say F it at this rate. If you can make the same or more money as a P5 assistant a lot of folks are gonna bounce if theyâre unwilling/unable to adjust.

Elliott was previously a long time South Carolina assistant. He had this weird setup where the rest of his family stayed in Columbia because his kids were still in school. He spent like 3-4 nights a week in Columbia somehow. I donât know if he had the use of a boosterâs plane to commute or what. But I can definitely see that being a huge reason to say screw it.
