I was inspired by the Dabo to Auburn talk. What comes to mind that tops that to you guys. Best I got off the top of my head:

Mike Tomlin to LSU
Jon Gruden to Arkansas
Jon Gruden to Tennessee
Urban Meyer to Auburn
Bob Stoops to Florida
Bob Stoops to Auburn

Lincoln Riley to LSU

I never really believed bc I kinda felt he was inherently a pussy so for him to run away from this league validates me as one of the more insightful posters here

Some of those rumors are started by the HC agent to generate raises.

It’s not always fans drumming up a far fetched thing. Dabo to Auburn is not going to happen but I can see Dabo and agent taking advantage.

Riley was a lock to LSU but went to USC because he was scared of coaching in the SEC.

Those two competing logic trails amuse me.

Which conference offers an easier path to the playoffs every year? Sec or pac20 or whatever it is now ?

Looks like it worked out well for both sides. We got the guy who wanted to drag his nuts all over the sec and he’s doing it in year 1

2 years in a row Dabo linked to sec west jobs. Yea I’d say it’s a leverage move but after the year they’re having he better be careful. They might help him pack

It got out on Hogville that Jon Gruden was at Powerhouse (restaurant/bar) just off Dickson St and fans were driving up there to see if he was.
