I despised him and Florida in the 90's. I grew up listening to how much we hate Alabama, but then Tennessee routinely kicked their ass. As I've gotten older, I learned to enjoy him. He played the villain and loved it. I also got to meet him and he's a great guy. I told him him when I met him, 13 year old me would have punched you. He laughed and said blame Phil.
I'd take Kiffin. My ultimate fear is that they will promote from within because they seem to be tight with the funds.
Perfect time for Dantonio to go back home. I'd much rather compete with Dabo for state supremacy than Harbaugh.
I bet he took a lot of hits in Tampa Bay. Hope he isn't starting to decline mentally. I'm having a hard time seeing why he would totally step away midseason otherwise, though.
So far we have 4(?) openings... USC MARYLAND ILLINOIS SAKERLINA Rank em in order. I'd go with the order I have above only flipping Illinois and Sakerlina... Maryland has a lot of HS talent in the area. USC is clearly the plum job but whither Miami?? If Golden gets the axe, what then?
Yeah, I'd put USCjr at #2 right now. The only appeal Maryland has is being the Oregon of Under Armor.
You guys are wrong. Maryland is THE best job in college football. In fact, I wouldn't blame a coach that happens to be sitting at a school that is a historical power and loaded with talent decided to walk away and take the Best Job in America. And take his Best Staff in America with him.
