JMU has a legitimate chance to upset Oregon in the playoff due to extreme weather conditions

We have an atmospheric river coming here... you're going to get a sloppy game with potentially some James Madison fans there against an Oregon offense that's missing Corian Moore... Is it going to happen? Probably not. But it could.

Oregon defeated JMU decisively, 38-10.

Oregon can win the National Championship behind the maturity of quarterback Dante Moore

What do you need to make a great run in any playoff... you need a quarterback who's going to take control... he [Dante Moore] has absolutely just matured into a guy who's now completed almost 80% of his passes in the back half of the season.

Oregon lost in the semi-finals to Georgia.

NCAA Football is the greatest video game ever made

That college football game was the greatest game in the history of video games... maybe Tecmo Super Bowl [is close]... but it's up there.

Greatest of all time is inherently subjective.

You don't truly understand that the NFL is a business until you are cut

Until it kicks you in the butt, you don't really understand it... until you're cut... in the NFL they can just say, Hey, thanks. It's been fun. It's been real. See it and not pay another dime. And until you have that happen to you... I don't know that it truly sinks in that this is a business.

This is a subjective perspective on the professional athlete experience.

Nick Saban's coaching success is built on preparation and accountability rather than flexibility

He will adjust and he will recognize what he needs to do week to week. But there's a foundation that exists... It is all preparation... a hundred percent accountability. He expects accountability and he shows accountability. And there are plenty of times when he stood up [to the media] and says, no, that's on me. I didn't get them prepared well enough.

This is an assessment of a coach's methodology based on personal experience.

Bobby Petrino was completely ill-equipped to be an NFL coach

[Bobby Petrino] was unprepared to be an NFL coach. I mean, that's the thing... we had a team of vets... and to have the audacity to challenge what it is that I'm trying to say [by adding more plays]... that's not how you operate. And then to literally drop... a note on your locker and say peace I'm out of here... he was unprepared.

The results of Petrino's tenure (3-10 followed by a mid-season abandonment) strongly support Harrington's assessment.

I could have been the Chiefs' quarterback until Patrick Mahomes took over

If I had fallen past Detroit, then [the Chiefs] were going to take me... I could have been Chief until Patrick Mahomes took over.

This is a counterfactual historical claim that can never be verified.

Success as an NFL quarterback is mostly about confidence rather than physical skill

Every quarterback in the league has the skills to be there... the difference is being confident in yourself... Hesitation, lack of confidence, doubt is the killer of all young quarterbacks. That's all it is.

While widely accepted by some coaches, this is a psychological theory of performance that cannot be objectively proven or disproven.

Tua Tagovailoa will be successful if the Dolphins support him and stop trying to replace him

They need to make sure they're supporting Tua because he's shown that he can do it... Make sure you support that guy, and he could be [successful].

Tua eventually found success once the Dolphins committed to him and hired Mike McDaniel, supporting Harrington's take.
