I have no idea how you keep grinding when you’re worth that kind of generational wealth at 35 years old.

I mean I get taking some time off to spend with family and recharge but he's 35. I don't think there's enough money to make me not want to ever do anything anymore at that age. Plus his career is the thing that most people with generational wealth do for fun.

I don't think Frank leaving is that big of a deal because of his recent track record, but I'm also not on board with this idea that recruiting means nothing anymore and that everything begins and ends with money. First of all, you have other top programs with money too.

Second, when the money is close all of the other things such as playing time, proximity to home, pro potential will still matter and you need recruiters skilled enough to put forth compelling pitches. Of course having good recruiters still matters.

That said I think it's more important that LK gets his guys in here that understand his offensive philosophy than keeping Frank. And reportedly he was offered a role (off-field) so he's making the decision to leave if that's the case. Nothing to be done about that.

Why now these past 2 seasons are so many WRs getting seriously injured / concussed just landing on the turf, which is better maintained than ever and / or softer than ever.

So you're asking why athletes who are bigger, stronger and faster than ever are having more non-contact injuries? It's just simple physics, you exert greater forces on your joints, you'll have more injuries.

How did UM not have any indication this dude was this whacked out of his mind? I'm betting a thorough background check would've found something.

Former USC QB Max Browne talked about how this reminded him of what he went through at USC. Everyone in USC knew about Sark's issues before they fired him. His opinion is that there's really no incentive for people in the program to out the HC because everyone's futures are tied together with his.

If one coach or staffer speaks up, then they're going to get replaced along with the HC. In most instances, the entire football org is replaced when the HC is replaced. And even the AD is going to look bad because that's his choice, so everyone in the program is more or less on an island with the HC when these scandals take place.

You can say a lot of things about LK but he knows offense and he knows precisely what to look for in a QB. I'm not questioning anyone he decides to go with at QB.

Has Pete Golding actually been presented with a new contract to be HC? I think him being named permanent instead of interim is to help their playoff case.

They had to have. He'd be a fool to accept a permanent HC position with no change in pay.

they fall arse backwards into one of the better coaching candidates

That obviously wasn't to be taken literally. What he meant is he doesn't know the fine details of the deal. He knows his base salary.

How can Carter refute LK's claim about what he thought? :lol: He doesn't need Carter's permission to think that there may still be a possibility of him coaching.

LK in his press conference clearly said that he was trying to pitch different ideas that would protect OM's interests and allow him to see this through to the end.
