I hate to say this, but I actually think Brian Kelly would be a solid gap fill for Michigan until they clear the hurdle of the Moore scandal.

He ended up not being what LSU paid for, but there is no doubt that he stabilized the program at a time when LSU needed it. Michigan is at a point where they desperately need to calm the waters and stabilize the program. I can't see any of the big name coaches touching that program with all shite flying around. Kelly could come in for 3-4 years and at least make things more palpable for the next big name that comes available down the road.

Nah, they’d have to score to upset either and their offense is atrocious.

That is all.

Doubt you get any argument. That was some Bama home cooking type shite.

He’ll be the Aggie kicker by the 4th quarter at this rate.

That's LSU's LDs should LSU fire him.

Incorrect. You should go read the contract.

Brian. Kelly.

This would be absolutely incredible :lol:

So Bama only has to pay LSU $7million.

$7M for 2026 and then a decreased amount annually totaling in $72M for the life of the current contract.

If any school went after Kiffin, it would take at least $140M over the next 7 years to get him. Good fricking luck :lol:

Just give it to me straight please!

Don't be a puss.

No one is hiring Kiffin away. There's an annual buyout that decreases over the life of the contract if Kiffin leaves. Starts $7M for 2026 and decreases each year after. Basically, if you hire Kiffin away, you'd have to fork out ~$20M a season to get him. That shite ain't happening anywhere.

Really was hoping Delane would play..

Delane has absolutely nothing to gain by playing in this game. Houston wouldn't throw to his side of the field. Only thing he'd be doing is risking a freak injury that could derail him being a top 10 pick.

I really think with their finances, recruiting blueprint etc. they could be elite on a consistent basis with proper vision and investment

Proud Tulane alum here (undergrad). It's been fun seeing them progress over the last 5-6 years into a strong G5 team. But the idea that they will ever be elite on the national stage is a stretch.

First, the academic standards alone make it extremely difficult to build a national brand with elite status. The closest we've seen an academic school come to pulling that off was Stanford back in the early 2000s/2010s. And their endowment is like 10x that of Tulane's.

Second, they are constrained geographically and that makes it extremely difficult to invest in facilities to compete with elite programs. Sure, they can upgrade, but there's very little room for expansion Uptown. It would be at the expense of student housing and/or student life investments for a school that consists of 80%+ out of state students.

To wrap this all up, as an alumni, I love seeing Tulane be successful. But they'll never be an elite program on the national stage. The best they can hope for is exactly what they're getting now. A strong showing in the G5 ranks and the occasional playoff bid where they more than likely get bounced in the first round.
