The Lions' Pride

The only name that seems completely retarded to me is Mike Gundy.

He's an OSU alum, and has taken that program to a place it has never been consistently. He does play second fiddle to OU, but they're probably the third best program in the Big 12 consistently now. That's pretty impressive compared to what they were before he got there.

Supposedly the AD and him barely speak, and that he's looking to get out, but I seriously doubt that. T. Boone makes all the decisions in Stillwater, and if he hears Gundy wants to leave he'll do what it takes to keep him.

Don't think Patterson leaves either, but more of a gut feeling than anything sensible.

I don't think Kirby Smart leaves Bama for Auburn.

IMO, Patterson doesn't leave TCU for Arkansas. Tennessee might be a different story though if he gets a call.

Why a named coach would look at Kentucky is beyond me. UKY should look at Taggart from WKU, or the OC from Clemson - Morris.

Mike Gundy's "I'm a man! I'm 45 years old!" speech will go down as one of the greatest press conference meltdowns of all time. I would post it here if I wasn't at work and blocked from YouTube.

I hope you are right about Gruden and the Eagles. I don't think he will neglect certain positions like Andy has done.

No doubt.

I question Chip Kelly in the NFL though. I sure as hell hope he's not planning on implementing his up-tempo system in the league. It may be successful initially until teams get used to the speed and tempo his offense has but it's the NFL, teams will pick up on it.

I graduated from WKU and live in Lexington, KY. I will tell you that IMO UK will not go after Taggart because they don't want their perceived "little brother" to look like we might have something they want. They are obnoxiously prideful in that sense. A name around here is Jim Tressel. Hell UK is already so bad they are basically on a self imposed bowl ban anyway.

Fisher will be a main candidate for the Tennessee job. His former AD, Hart, is here in TN. Hart was the guy who named Fisher coach in waiting at FSU. None of the leadership is left at FSU that Fisher had been promoted under. Further, they promised Fisher new facilities and none of that has materialized.

Read an article that says Chizik has a $7.7m buyout. If his entire staff leaves, then the buyout will be over $10m.

Nice chunk of change that Auburn has cost themselves. Chizik is some sort of sick business genius to not only get the job at Auburn after going 5-19 at ISU, then swindling them out of all these millions.

Doesn't Tressel have a five year show cause thing with the NCAA. Don't see a fit there. I used to live in Lexington for five years. That is a BAD job. No big name should even consider that gig.

Whew... was half expecting to see BOB's name in teh mix. I want the man to stay. I will not like every year for the next 4 hanging on to see what current players bolt, and what coaches we lose. I certainly think BOB will get NFL feelers in the coming years. I hnestly believe BOB could get us multiple B10 titles and births into this new 4 team format once we out of the Emmert crap...

Some Browns fans have been called in a couple of times to sports talk shows in Cleveland and have mention BOB as a candidate for the Browns job once it opens up. I don't give it any credence but it shows that BOB has made his mark this season.

He ruined that kids life... But yea I guess the rant was cool.
