Unfortunately, they will immediately start bitching about OT as soon as he commits. Won’t even wait for everyone to post a boom in the thread.

Always have that other asteroid to hop onto. Upon first hire it was “I don’t think his offense translate to the SEC…hope I’m wrong.” to “He progressively REGRESSES in record season after season…wish I was wrong.” now “He can’t close…if you think I’m wrong, I’m sorry I tell the TRUTH instead of mixing unicorns, rainbows blah blah slurry in my bunghole!” 😏

Yes, I don’t know why I get so disappointed. I should know it’s going to happen.

7/19/1946 - Umpire ejects 14 White Sox


The events that transpired in Boston's 9-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox have been the subject of controversy since it occurred on July 19, 1946. All 14 players and coaches on the Chicago bench were ejected by umpire Red Jones, and legend has it that it was all caused by a ventriloquist in the stands.
In the top of the third inning, Chicago pitcher Joe Haynes came in high and tight with a fastball to Ted Williams. Jones issued a warning to the Sox pitcher, which sparked an argument from the Chicago dugout. One voice continued to chide the umpire, so Jones ejected the quiet Ralph Hodgin. He was not the culprit, and Jones ejected three more White Sox. The other players began to pipe up and complain. Jones, to make absolutely sure he was rid of the heckler, ejected everyone in the White Sox dugout.
The players futilely argued with Jones before making their way back to the clubhouse. Manager Bing Miller offered his glasses to Jones, saying, "You need 'em more than I do."

Play resumed with every possible antagonist ejected. Or so Red thought, for within a few seconds a voice rang out, "Hey meathead, let's see some hustle before the home folks!"
In 2006, the New York Times published an article indicating that the heckler was Sox bench coach Mule Haas. A Ralph Schoenstein article in 1963 was used as evidence; the column stated that, "After the bench had been cleared, Red heard one lone tenor voice that still insisted he was a meathead. He went to the dugout and saw a big windbreaker hanging in the corner. Protruding from it were two feet with spiked shoes. He grabbed the windbreaker from the nail, uncovering Mule Haas, a White Sox coach."
Third baseman Dario Lodigiani added his testimony that it was Haas, although other living players from that game disagreed. It's hard to navigate the truth when the witnesses of history are either senile or dead. But it appears as though a coach and not a ventriloquist led to one of the most single-game ejections in baseball history.35D14AF8-3FF9-463F-9F03-E5EB2C2AE453.png

This is basically how I did it. I actually should flip Beamer and Stoops in the first ranking. I personally don't like things being totally subjective as "I think he's better than him" so I tried to draw up some kind of hard and fast reasoning to separate them out.

I'm not sure if your post is a prediction of things to come or a statement on things that happened in the past, but I'm pretty sure Stoops took Kentucky to the Citrus

Probably waiting on proof last year wasn't a lightening strike season. If Heupel pops off another 11-win season with a win over Bama or GA I don't see how you can rank him any lower than 3rd in the conference.

A big season from Brian Kelly and LSU would keep him above Heupel IMO. He has sustained success for longer.

But another medicore season from Jimbo should put him below Heupel. Despite having a national championship ring and a top 5 finish as recently as 2020, he appears to be trending downward significantly as a head coach. Kelly, on the other hand, won the West in year one.

I can see the argument that Jimbo being above Heupel is ridiculous, but just as there's a wait and see approach on Heupel, there's also one on Jimbo. He can maybe turn it around this year, but I don't think he will.
