Let them play good grief ...they are 10-0 this season....
Why do have that rule? I just can’t imagine the rationale behind keeping former FCS teams out of bowls for TWO years. Seems pointlessly capricious…but that’s what we’ve come to expect from that organization.
 
We brought Fulmer back and he hired a meatball to be head coach. And we paid him a ton of buyout money. He wasn't treated any worse than any fired coach. And he needed to be fired we just made bad moves after that. But like you said Lane was the hot commodity. There's some revisionist history going on here.
He was a hit commodity overall but not for USC. He was still around 7 though which is still pretty good. Mike just never thought it would get that far but he should’ve known Carroll was about to jump.

Don't agree with the impunitive rule - endorsed by the G5 schools that want to protect themselves from promotion pains (and possibly relegation themselves down the road?) -

but then if it gets to this point - let the D1 programs suggest a vote and vote on it. It's the whole point of a membership. It's their rule (as a whole) - let them re-endorse the current rule or change it altogether. I just don't see a 130+ member beaureacracy moving that fast though tbh. Would be a pleasant surprise. Need some more authoritarinism up in there to act that quickly.

You guys that say this, or no one would want to come here,
Make me laugh.
Lane was one of the hottest commodities on the market then.
USC jumped on him in a split second as soon as that job opened up!
LOL. Sure, if by "jumped on him in a split second" you mean settling for your 7th or 8th option because everybody else already told them no.

For those that bet; how do y’all feel about doing parlays with alt spreads?
I assume you are asking about a teaser parlay? Makes it easier to hit spread parlays, but the pay out is much lower. Parlays are sexy when they hit, but just bet individual spreads. Easier to make money long term imo
 
It is absolutely insulting to Banks that he was hired based on his race. Which is why this business of hiring based on race needs to stop. Both explicit and implicit. Ending hiring based on explicit racial discrimination would be a start.

LA_Vol said it. AP said it. We only interviewed black candidates. We had a qualified albeit unpopular candidate playing solitaire in his office when Heupel got here who was not interviewed. And then there are the very similar circumstances that resulted in Randy Shannon being hired at UCF.

I think the evidence mounts beyond pure speculation. Don't like it for Banks. Don't like anything about it. And I think the solution is to not do it anymore. And that's a decision that will ultimately fall on Danny White.
I don't think the information should have been shared. A lot of people would assume that anyway. But it's not fair to him because he started off on the wrong foot because so many heard he got the job because of his race.

Okay I could have used minority candidates and it was not meant to be anything toward whites,blacks,yellow people. I do not care what color our coaches are, I just remember reading where they was going to hire a minority coach so does that mean that TN went out and hired the best DC that they could hire?
We'll never know because people leaked that information.
