I just got a like from @Neyland Rising from a Friday morning post. You are a trooper.

He will catch up just in time for the spring game

 

[Ashevolle]

I’m impressed by how quiet this has been

Definitely not a good time to fart

 

[Wickman]

that's Paul Wall.

Both from Texas is what he was saying

 

[all_volz]

"My name Mike Jones"

 

[Ryno14]

I tried my best to not skip any pages but the fact that I was still 300 pages behind on Sunday morning was ridiculous.

If Campbell cares about the ISU program, then he'll let us pay them that buyout money to help their budget issues. Take the offer Matt...do it for ISU.

Can you imagine them announcing a press conference for our new head coach with no one knowing who it might be?

 

[Rizzo924]

I’m swinging back over to Kiffin on my want meter.

Yeah... I'm gonna dump my #1 before he officially dumps us!

And if we pay his staff well.. I'm sure that is a plus.

There is a lot to be said for this angle. He may not care about money, but some of his assistants would likely double their salaries in a tax free state. That can be life changing for some of these folks. We throw around numbers on here without much thought, but for an assistant going from 100k to 200k a year, plus bonuses, is huge. I asked my accountant once at what point he sees most of his clients go from paycheck to paycheck to actually living comfortably. He said that 500k is around the point where people seem to reach that point.

Obviously you can live comfortably for a lot less than 500k, but I think his point was that after taxes and basic living expenses, most people living under 500k a year still watch their finances pretty closely whereas over that threshold, most people don’t worry as much. At least in his experience.

So while going from 3m a year to 5m a year may not be a big selling point for the HC, going from 300k to 500k may be a huge deal for a low-level assistant.

Oops...too late...and be right back

And then they trot out Lincoln Riley

Mike Jones is transferring from Clemson. Mike Jones is also the name of a Texas rapper. Paul Wall is a Texas rapper. The walls of the bathrooms at Texas had pee color charts while Tom Herman was there. Guys it's Tom Herman.

With Michael Buffer announcing it

You sharted didn’t you?

 

[Volsfan895]

We’ll get the coach as soon as Neyland Rising catches up to us. He is roughly 600 pages behind now.

Mike Jones is a Pokemon.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Y’all are welcome. He’s our guy.

Fleck does seem like a system guy.
Regimented, detail oriented, intelligent
Could translate well, seems similar to Saban in that respect. Obviously he’s not Saban, but perhaps the military like approach could work here? Don’t love his personality or the catch phrases but I don’t think it’d be a bad hire.

Could also backfire.

Hahaha that's actually an interesting angle. Maybe ISU needs to sell him to us to save the athletic department.

I've gone through your posts over the last few days, and you certainly act like you have inside information. You were the one to throw these two (relatively random) names out: Jonathan Smith (Oregon State) and Jeff Hafley (Boston College) as being vetted.

Can you give us an idea of how you know what you know? Stoerner Fumbles explained his. I want to give you credit if you're right, but this cryptic crap isn't gonna get you that.

Go through the posts from the Gruden threads....

Please watch the video, I've cued it up to where he starts talking about all the strategic investment initiatives (re: Spending) they are planning. He says one of the reasons Campbell has committed to staying is that they've committed to building a $90 million sports performance center.

I saw the video and they can commit all they want, but this is the reality:

Records: Iowa State coach Matt Campbell covering some of his staff's temporary salary cuts

This was just a few days ago.

“The pruitts are taking this really hard, and honestly they have a lot of boxes. Just doing what i can to help the family.”

I wonder if they have a box to pack AP in and take with them

 

[BearCat204]

Who cares about a coaching search when we got this going on

 

[ATC_VOL]

Unless Elliot is flying on a propeller Cesena, he’s not leaving out of there dude.

5Kft runway. You can land a jet on that.

Don’t think it’s Elliott though. And if it was I don’t think they’d use that airport.

I refused then and I still refuse.
