First of all, the question was in reference to the USC job, and Tomlin just made a blanket statement to all college jobs

Secondly, it’s not a diss to say you don’t want to leave a top 2 job in the NFL to coach college. It’s just common sense.




he came across as kind of a dick here

is it too hard to say, hey its good to be wanted but no I am not interested? he sort of acted like the CFB world was beneath him

Because that’s how the vast majority of NFL coaches feel about the current college game. Dealing with boosters, constant texting and begging 17 year olds, now the free agent portal system. In many respects the college game is a pain in the arse.

What choice does he have? I mean he was as direct as possible and you still have people who won’t believe it because Saban lied before and other coaches lie all the time

Well the CFB world is beneath him for one thing and again I’ll highlight the fact that if you don’t come as hard and firm as he did then all he will have done would be make the rumors stronger and a bigger distraction for his team on a completely ridiculous rumor in the first place

That's exactly how it came across to me too

Could have shown a little class and been gracious and just put the rumors to bed but he had to act the smarta$$.

Are your feelings hurt that LSU doesn’t matter as much as the NFL?
