I have always wondered if there was more to what went on with Catalon than has been told.


He was a serial portal jumper. I have no idea if he had issues with Pittman, but c'mon, he played at four different schools.

Yeah, especially if/when we whiff on this hire. I have no faith in our athletic department and big boosters to get it right and to do what is in the best interest of our football program.

A friend whose brother covers another SEC team (not naming the team nor the writer) said Golesh was also looking at Auburn (not the writer's beat), which isn't good for us. If Auburn wants a coach that we want they're more likely to get him than we are because we are a dysfunctional program that is always reacting vs. innovating and doing whatever is necessary to win.

If that turns out to be the case, who else is out there aside from Wommack and Silverfield as realistic possibilities? I was interested in Eric Morris, but that's no longer an option.
It's nothing personal against Petrino whatsoever. I'm appreciative of what he has done in the past and I think he's done a good job of keeping the team together, even if they haven't won a game under him. I would just like to move on.

Green has had plenty of time to put things on tape. How about just giving the guys one last best chance at a win and sticking with the hot hand?

Careful. You're going to anger the Bobby cultists.

Correct. I could not. The same way that you couldn't be a professional stuntman which is what these people basically are. It has more to do with acting than competition.

It's super weird that a sports entity is covering wrasslin' as if it were a sport. Same when they used to do that with poker.

Man I miss woopig. That place was great 20 years ago.


It was. Unfortunately, the political board made it go to complete shite. People were openly rooting for and giddy about RBG dying ffs. It wasn’t as bad as the political forum here is, but there was still a lot of vile stuff posted there on the reg when there was previously lively and often humorous debates. Pissing matches in there followed people all over the rest of the place and just took the fun out of it.I left during the RBG stuff.

Make sure you also egg it and leave toothpaste underneath the door handles of all of the vehicles.

I'd be thrilled with that hire. Same with Morris or Chesney or Stein.

Rev are you trying to tell us it’s Dabo….


Why would he come here when he has it so much easier at Clemson and in the ACC? And for the record, I hope he's not even in consideration. Dinosaur.

Riley is starting pop up on more searches, USC wants him gone and he wants to cash in one more time.


If he couldn't succeed at a place like USC, which I would think have a lot of NIL money, why does anyone think he would do well elsewhere?

He's a dinosaur/retread who bombed at UCF and picked KJ Jefferson as his QB. These people who want him here are in a damned cult.

He also said the boosters are fighting amongst each other, which is not exactly a surprise for us. We got the Gus clan still running around wanting him or Lashlee


Why is Lashlee even being mentioned when he signed that massive extension? And frick anyone who wants Gus. Good lord these people are insane.

College sports starts and ends with football. It affects everything unless you’re in the north east.


That's true for me. I was a student there when we won the NC in basketball. We could win another natty in basketball and baseball in the same year and I would easily trade both away for one in football. Being good in the other sports doesn't make up for how shitty we are in football to me, at least.

How would y’all feel about Dabo


He was an excellent coach pre-portal and pre-NIL, but we're not in that era anymore.

As he will not embrace the portal or NIL, he's a dinosaur in today's coaching world. He's stuck in the past. No thank you.

Jerry Kill, who was the coach at Minnesota and then NM State has been a large factor in their success from what I've read. Dude can coach. His health issues led to him stepping down as a head coach.

Isn't this what we were told last time before we hired Pittman?

So, what is the repellent?

Lack of booster support/money?
Lack of instate talent?
Location?

Very happy for LA Tech—lots of family ties and many friends are alums. Can’t wait for those rivalry games vs. ULM, ULL, and USM. Those NLU games were intense when I went as a kid back in the 80s.

Congrats, Tech!

Pittman said he isn't worried about his job


What else would you expect him to say? It's going to take a nosedive in ticket sales and attendance for him to be let go. We're not that serious about football. It's all about basketball and baseball unfortunately.
