I completely agree with you that we need someone to motivate our kids... But you have to remember Gruden has never coached kids. He's used to coaching men and even pushing them a little too far at times. I'm not saying he will or won't be successful here IF he's even here, all I'm saying is at the end of the day, these 18 - 21 year olds are still kids and not men. There's a difference in how each should be managed and coached.

So he hasn't been coaching O-line for a high school team?

I agree. His tone was even more telling that this may be legit.

yeah, it was a denial of the Browns, although he did mention that he'd have to let his wife know. He sounded irritable and like he didn't want to discuss it. It wasn't as clear cut as the ESPN report made it seem.

I agree. But losing Maryland, a charter member of the ACC, stings the ACC bad. Not so much in terms of Football and Basketball. But in terms of tradition, power brokers in DC area, others sports, etc.

Conference expansion has become a game of eat or be eaten. And I'll tell you this, SEC better get to 16 sooner vs. later or we could have a domino or 2 fall as well - SEC is vulnerable too. Have to get to 16 soon.

SEC is not vulnerable at all...guess what the buyout for a
team to leave the SEC is?

$0.00...thats right,there is no buyout or exit fee...
Mile Slive said he can have 2 teams in 10 minutes and not break a sweat...Everybody else has a huge exit fee,except the Big 10,not sure about them...they would be the only other one I could see w/o one too,
but I'll bet they do...

Missouri would be the only school stupid enough to leave. they had their azz handed to them all year,and basically begged to get into the Big 10...

Boro... When do you think there will be an announcement?

No idea. I'm surprised we haven't had more of a media leak at this point, knowing what I know.

Doesn't matter, we are still inside the original timeline that was expressed in October, by about 3 weeks. Could happen sooner, who knows? But everything else has happened almost exactly like I was originally told.

Mizzou should have never been invited to join the SEC in the first place, but that is a topic for a different discussion.

Bob Knight, Muschamp, Saban, Bruce Pearl, are all coaches who are winning or have won, and have yelled at or blown up at players every once in a while. Knight did it all the time, and he is a HOF, and winner. I know that is bball, but they are 18-21 year old guys and they got the job done. Most players know what they are getting into when they come to play for the particular coach. Knight's guys knew theyd get yelled at and have an EXTREMELY intense coach, but hey he won titles and developed players. Also I just remembered another name, Pat Summit, she would get onto anyone about everything, but look at what she accomplished. If you are laid back, and let a zoo go wild, you have Derek Dooley, a coach who knows football but can't command his players.
Thats like being a general and going into a battle with guys who do what they want no strategy. Won't work.

Saban used to yell and even bench AJ McCarron if Im not mistaken when he was a Freshman, even on plays that he made a stupid decision while up by 49 points, and now look at him 25 TDs 2 INTS and a heisman candidate, Intensity and discipline is what we need to coach guys my age.
