I know. It was a complete disaster.

Doesn’t mean it didn’t make sense for him to try the NFL.

he also took a shot at Jim Haslett saying he wasn't gonna be in the film room at 5 in the morning or something like that. Said it wasn't doing Haslett much good anyway I want to say. He was a cocky guy but then sure enough he never beat Haslett I think the Saints beat the Redskins both times they faced each other.

If Frost doesn't win at Nebraska, Po Pelini's history will have been very kind to him at Nebraska. Either way he did a nice job despite being an a-hole. Stoked to see O and Pelini give us a wild baw brand of defense

Al Groh quit the Jets after 1 season winning 9 games, to take the Virginia job where he never won more than 9 games in a season. Was fired with a 59-54 record.

Funny enough for me both involve Wisconsin. First, Brett Bilema leaving wiscy after three straight rose bowls to come get eaten alive by the SEC at Arkansas.


Supposedly, Bielema asked for raises to keep good assistants around and Wisconsin denied him. That was the main factor in him leaving.

But it made sense for him to take the job. They gave him good money and gave him a gigantic extension because they almost beat USC. ND hiring him was strange but their first choice was Urban Meyer.

Hey hey, ive been to that place. Its definitely their claim to fame because the girls arent very much to look at.

They did have free beer from like 5-7, so we would go drink as much as possible.

Mike Price/ Alabama


It turned out to be a disaster but the move itself was perfectly smart, especially for Price.

Washington State to Alabama is a huge jump, he woulda been crazy not to.

Nobody knew he was a loose cannon drunk until it was too late.

Siding with a spoiled rich kid and uninformed players when the former didn't get his way.
