That's known as the Bill Self clause (yes, that actually was put into his contract).

Really saying the quiet part out loud. The only way to make it more on the nose is if the anti-termination clause only applies if the school is found to be cheating AND it fails to make a deep post-season run. Cause otherwise you know he ain't getting terminated.

Good for him. Make Michigan show how much more important he is to them than their desired lofty reputation.

Klieman and Lance both mentioned

That is a job I bet both would take.

No one is turning down the Michigan job if offered.

So 3 of the 4 playoff teams lost their coaches in the off-season. Wacky wacky off-season this year.

Interesting take on SXM with Neuheisel and Childers this morning about Moore: He makes all the sense in the world to promote, EXCEPT: he has no players to "bring with him" via the portal.

Probably should though. Next season is going to be pretty rough for them and it doesn't help that they've essentially been without a head coach for the month of January. They haven't done jack crap in the portal. Moore is going to get the job and he's going to fail.

Guess the number of big 10 championship game appearances for the next 5 years.

OSU: 4
UO: 2
PSU: 2
USC: 1
Mich: 1

That’s my guess.

Pete · « **Reply #1160 on:** January 25, 2024, 08:22:52 AM »

Another fun one is to look at the appearances of the last 9 years and speculate on which teams are likely to have zero more appearances over the next 10 years (or 20).

Wisconsin: 4
Iowa: 2
Northwestern: 2
Purdue: 1

None of those is likely to get another appearance in the next decade.

By the way, in 9 years the West never won a championship game. Not even in the 1 year that the champ wasn’t OSU/UM/PSU…that year went to MSU.

K-State is the only “north” team to win (twice) the Big 12 since Colorado in 2001.

A divisionless SEC is likely to have similar exclusivity in their championship game, but they do have the feature of having a higher quantity of schools who have the booster motivation to up-jump and buy some coaching/players for a run at it.

In the SEC though it’s unlikely, it does seem possible that a Mizzou/Arkansas/Ole Miss/Miss State/Kentucky/South Carolina booster group have a nice run.

I just can’t see it in the big 10. I have a hard time believing that the big 10 will be anything other than 5 or 6 schools, then a bunch of schedule fillers.

My pastor told me that all things are possible through Christ, but I don’t think even the Son of Man can get Nebraska a big 10 championship game appearance.

I wonder if there was bad blood with the AD. Kinda seems like this puts the AD in a tough spot at this point in the year.

Well Bill O'Brien spent about a three days as the tOSU OC before going to BC to be HC.

Looks like the Gophers are going to lose P.J. Fleck to UCLA

UCLA HC < tOSU OC < BC HC
therefore
UCLA HC < BC HC

It depends on whether you'd want to be a Golden Gopher or a Trojan.

I think Minnesota is a better job than UCLA. Lower expectations, same ceiling.

Chip is coming to grips with what his only option is to win an NC. I just feel bad for Will.
