Hangin' at the Al / Re: 2026 Coaching Carousel
Last post by The Sultan - Today at 10:38:55 AMQuote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 10:37:05 AMUCLA dedicated a larger share of Rev Share to basketball than most programs in the country, but with the hiring of Chesney, that will change. Cronin is frustrated at UCLA because he took a Pac-12 job, where the most difficult trip was Pullman, WA, not Piscataway, NJ. Three back to backs to the Eastern or Central Time Zone and a one-off trip to Minnesota. Meanwhile, the "traditional" Big Ten teams only go west once.
If we're talking conference schools, I think Cronin would be a good fit at PC or Butler. At K-State he'd have a deep NIL budget too.
Must be hard to be paid $6 million a year to coach basketball.

Last post by Billy Hoyle - Today at 10:37:05 AMQuote from: Tarragona on Today at 09:53:41 AMUCLA has pretty good basketball money. Maybe not top 10, but close to it, just beyond that. Most places Cronin would go to next, would have less basketball money, and less resources than UCLA. He may talk like they are little sisters of the poor, but they have competitive basketball money.

He may talk like they are little sisters of the poor, but they have competitive basketball money. Cronin also has a pretty close knit family situation in L.A. as well. I don't see him choosing to leave vs being asked to leave.

It will forever be a hilarious footnote that in a era of Mahomes, Allen, Rodgers, Stafford, etc... the first fully guaranteed contract in NFL history, that ushered in a new phase of guaranteed money and contracts, went to Kirk Cousins.
But really what's more insane is that the Falcons gave him $100MM guaranteed at age 36 coming off a significant shoulder injury.

The Superbar / Re: 2025-26 NFL Thread
Last post by The Sultan - Today at 09:37:15 AMThe UFL kicks off in a couple of weeks and has some rules for this season:
1. Field goals of 60 or more yards are worth four points. (It will be interesting to see if teams manipulate the length of the snap to get to 60 yards.)
2. No punting if a team advances the ball past the fifty yard line during a drive. Yes, that means that a penalty or loss of yardage could prevent a team from punting inside their own territory. (This actually intrigues me...)

I was skiing in the afternoon and missed the 2nd buying opportunity. 10 vs 15% seems like a TACO win (though also likely illegal).

Last post by Tarragona - Today at 09:19:36 AMI think Chris Jans makes a lot of sense for K-State.
I've seen Casey Alexander's name in some of the job search discussion. But I think ot will be raise, extension, budget increase, and staying at Belmont.
