This was the best post on here. :bow:
MJ will be lucky to even be the Speaker after November, so to be frank, there's nothing he can do, and if he loses the House then it's customary for the outgoing Speaker to resign his seat.
None of that will happen. Regardless, people act like they don't know what's going on behind-the-scenes when they meet with the university's president on a regular basis. Their governor (and the booster class) is meddling in the affairs of the university, and it's extremely obvious that there's a lack of institutional control. This isn't about Kiffin or Wade, etc., it's about the clown in their governor's mansion.
No, I don't think LSU should be expelled, but if the allegations are true, this is a shot across the bow for your governor, political class, and boosters to step away before they torpedo the university. The conference is, for all intents and purposes, building an argument (or case) for a lack of institutional control at the university.
A test case in the current climate before going after the bigger fish.
Everyone's missing the funniest part of this: Kiffin graduated from Fresno State, so if they're involved, it's likely that he dropped the goods as a form of payback.
That has been debunked (the part about trying to control the staff). The BoT refused to match certain contract stipulations and guarantees, etc., so Sumrall went to Florida (which was his preferred choice in the first place). Also, Golesh is the better hire, so... yeah.
Honestly, after sleeping on it, I think their presser will involve them announcing a lawsuit against the CFP and ESPN/FOX, or more than likely, it'll just be a routine event.
Doesn't matter. Any P2 runner-up should be in the CFP.
That has been debunked multiple times. He left over the contract differences between us and Florida, because the BoT placed several limits on what the AD could offer this go around (mainly in relation to the guaranteed portions of the buyout, etc.). Additionally, while his wife wanted to go to Auburn, most people believe Sumrall's first choice was always Florida.
It means that, until Saban stepped in, he was blackballed by the SEC for his actions at Tennessee (which has been known for some time). At that point in time, his career was effectively over, and he was considered to be persona non grata. You have to remember: This is an extremely small circle, so your reputation and actions can easily follow you everywhere.
Using this list (and not including whomever Kentucky hires):

1. Jon Sumrall - The fans hate the hire, so if he struggles, he won't survive beyond the next AD being hired (or 2-4 seasons). If anything, he'll be the first one to hit the ejection seat for greener pastures
2. Lane Kiffin - Has the best circumstances but the shortest leash. It's win or get tarmacked
3. Ryan Silverfield - General apathy from the Arkansas faithful
4. Alex Golesh - Due to the current perception surrounding our program, Auburn can't afford to re-enter the coaching carousel again for some time. However, out of the five hires, I think this one is the best one out of the bunch (excluding Kiffin). The worst case for Golesh is that he'll end up in Arkansas in a few years (like Sumrall will for Kentucky)
5. Pete Golding - Due to the circumstances surrounding his hiring, he'll have a long leash to make improvements

His wife is from Arkansas, is an Arkansas fan, goes to every home game (allegedly), and she flies into and out of Arkansas weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly for work (the article wasn't clear). In other words, it doesn't matter if he's pissed, because the Mrs. is calling the shots on this one.

Give me a break: With his wife's connections to the university and the City of Gainesville, he was always taking the Florida job.
IDK. What's the highest-paid coach in the NFL? Surely, he's in the CFB equivalent of that tier.
Your fifth rule is completely irrelevant.
Don't worry. Bama isn't losing to Auburn.

At this point, Sumrall should be the top choice, but since he wants to get back into coaching, I would be fine with Gruden, too. Toss-in an obligatory kick the tires on Dabo on top of it all.

Why can’t Missou break through???


Because the Big 6 (soon to be the Big 8) runs the conference. When you're going up against half of the Top 15 (and arguably, half of the Top 25) best programs in the sport on an annual basis, you're not 'breaking' through as a program.
