College Football - Week of 9/15

[dew1679666265]

I've heard Les Miles may take the Michigan job if Carr is fired. I'd hate to see him leave LSU.

 

Don't worry. It'd open up a spot for Nick Saban to come back. He'll be pretty close to time to switch jobs after this season anyway. :wink:

 

I'm sure he'll take some of the credit if they win the NC this year.

 

Of course. His ego would force him to.

he'll take credit if the Dolphins make the playoffs too

It sure as heck would start a chain reaction of coaches leaving for better jobs.

 

well, except for the part where Les Miles leaves LSU for an inferior job

Well except for the 110,000 people who show up every week, a top 5 largest fan base in the country. Heck the biggest news in college football so far this year has been how bad Michigan is. LSU has look great in 2 games and it barely gets any National press. I am not so sure that Michigan is a inferior job. There team is inferior right now. Last but certainly not least, I am sure Michigan will pay A LOT. It is vitally important that the Big House is full every week. So considering Miles is an alum. I think he will certainly consider it.

:lol: Hilarious, but true.

[Andy]

No Henne next week. Ryan Mallett will start.

 

When I said Clausen and Mallett would be battling against each other for years to come, I didn't expect the first one to be five months later.

Well, that's just not true.

 

1. Michigan has the biggest stadium in the nation (capacity is 15,000 larger than LSU).

2. Michigan has a bigger brand name -- year-in and year-out, Michigan and UNC sell the most merchandise. (I tried to find documentation for this, but couldn't via a cursory search.)

3. Michigan plays in an easier conference -- with a better bowl tie-in (Rose Bowl).

4. Michigan, at worst, is in the triumvirate of premier programs in it's conference (and it's almost certainly tops). LSU is well behind Alabama, Tennessee and Florida in program prestige.

5. Michigan has a higher prestige factor nationally than LSU has in it's own conference.

6. Michigan is the all-time leader in wins, winning percentage, conference championships and undefeated seasons. It also has 11 national championships. LSU has two. (I'd like to note that I'm unsure exactly how much weight current recruits give these factors. Still, it can't hurt.)

7. Michigan is one of the best academic schools in the nation.

8. Michigan would, at the very least, offer competitive pay.

9. The huge recruiting advantage at LSU is a fallacy. Louisiana does produce more, but not exorbitantly more, high school talent than Michigan. However, Pennsylvania and Ohio, at minimum, produce equally as Louisiana. Louisiana obviously is more proximate to Texas and Florida (two of the top three states, along with California), but there is MUCH more competition for talent in those two states than in PA and OH. Michigan has less local competition, and is a national recruiting brand name. LSU may be emerging nationally, but it still isn't Michigan.

 

I really have no idea what metric you're basing this on, but Michigan is a better football job than LSU. LSU clearly is a program on the rise, and probably a top-10 job now. But Michigan is almost certainly a top-3 job. [/i]

I agree with most of them, but not all.

Is Michigan a bigger job than Notre Dame? Probably not. Is Michigan a bigger job than even Nebraska? Probably not....Is Michigan a bigger job than Alabama, probably not.

um, no. i mean last year they played all the "named" bowls, then had one more game which was the NC game. OSU vs. Florida wasn't in a branded bowl

Either way...you were wrong. You said the payout of the Rose Bowl made it better than the Sugar Bowl. I proved to you that they were the same.

they were the same last year, yes. For years, the Rose Bowl was the highest paying bowl game

[Jon]

NU is looking to go 3-0 for the first time since 1962 (wins over Notre Dame, Miami, and South Carolina the year before Parseghian left). It'll be nice to play under the lights, but since we're only allowed one night game a year, it's a shame it can't be a Big Ten game. Either way, it'll be interesting. Sutton is probably 50/50 with an ankle injury and Eddie Simpson, our only linebacker with any kind of speed, won't dress. They didn't want to run the ball at all against Nevada, but I pray that they'll have some faith in Roberson and not throw it nearly as much as last week. And hopefully Bacher can bounce back a bit and continue his turnover-free playing.

here's hoping they don't crap the bed against Duke again

cool. then the Rose Bowl is bigger than the Sugar because it's been around longer, is played in a bigger stadium, has more history.....

Is Michigan a bigger job than Notre Dame? Probably not. Is Michigan a bigger job than even Nebraska? Probably not....Is Michigan a bigger job than Alabama, probably not.

 

I remember when Oklahoma and Texas both got to play in the Rose Bowl several years back, there fans were very excited because it was a rare opportunity to go to that Bowl Game. Not saying it is bigger, but I think there is a national perception that the Rose Bowl is the most popular bowl game.

 

And as far as Nebraska being a bigger job than Michigan, give me a break. If it was so big, why did they get their fourth choice when Solich was fired?

[SouthSideRyan]

Yeah Alabama and ND I can definitely see, I can't squint hard enough to see how Nebraska could possibly be a better job.

Lets compare revenue and profits generated from the UM football program to NU and Bama and see who is bigger. Its not even close.

the hell does this have to do with anything?

 

but if you are stupid enough to go this route....

 

1. Notre Dame

2. Texas

3. Georgia

 

4. Michigan

5. Florida

6. Ohio State

7. Alabama

8. Tennessee

9. Oklahoma

10. LSU

 

Notice who is not on there. Is Michigan a bigger job than USC? Probably not. Going the revenue and value route is dumb. So Georgia's the #3 job in America? Get a clue and come back to me plz. And Alabama is close and so is LSU.

Seriously, the Rose Bowl is unquestionably the biggest bowl game.

 

Notre Dame is probably the best job in college football. Michigan is certainly bigger than Nebraska. Alabama may have a good argument, but Michigan is still better in my opinion.
