Kolek planning to go pro
All the talk of the Bears front office failures made me think of one of my personal most despised Bears hires, John Shoop, the hapless OC under Dick Jauron. After the Bears tossed him, he bounced around a bit and ended up at UNC as their OC.Seeing if he was still in coaching, I found this article...https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/sep/03/john-shoop-north-carolina-purdue-college-football-coachIts hilarious cause he's painting himself as some black-listed martyr being ahead of the curve with NLI. Which might make sense except he was a TERRIBLE NFL OC who never had an offense outside of the bottom 5 in the league. And then, in college, his offense at UNC never registered in the top 40, barely top 50 his 2 best seasons even with NFL talent at the skill positions. Then he moved on to Purdue where he had 3 consecutive seasons of offenses outside of the top 100. You're out of a job coaching college football cause you were terrible at it, not cause you were in favor of NLI you clown.
Michigan continuing to snap the ball with 15+ seconds on the play clock while up 8 in the fourth quarter and already in field goal range feels like a disaster waiting to happen.
Final score doesn’t necessarily indicate it, but that was a complete a$$ whipping by Michigan. They ran it at will, very impressive.
Penn St wearing all white uniforms in a snow storm. Oy.
Am I missing something? Why did Minnesota storm the field? Is there an axe shortage because of supply chain issues?
Wisconsin should move on from Chryst. Six points on offense today and recruiting has been anemic. They won’t though.
One of the reasons the college football playoff needs to expand is because the four team playoff has nearly completely eclipsed the bowls. No longer is a New Year’s Day bowl sufficient, so when a school like Florida stumbles, like all schools do, they get rid of their coach and all others sign their incumbents to terrible extensions. Opening up the playoffs gives teams another way to define success, because Sugar and Rose Bowl births no longer suffice.
Florida hiring Billy Napier.Another member of the Saban tree lands a head coaching job in the SEC.
But yes, I'd like to see the playoff expanded to 8 teams. I'd like to have a reason to watch postseason games.
