Takes
Ed Orgeron is officially the greatest interim coach of all time
Is he officially the greatest interim coach of all time? His last head coaching stint at Ole Miss, where he went 10-25... he's won more games as an interim coach than a head coach.
Based on the eye test, USC is one of the four best teams in the country
If you just look at teams, eye test, who's playing as good as anybody, USC is in the top four. And they're all like, what about September? It matters. But what about any losses?
The next Texas head coach is already on the hot seat
My hot seat, the next Texas coach. Just throw him on the hot seat right away. Because guess what? Texas winning culture. Haven't won in a while.
The loss to Kansas is the definitive end for Charlie Strong at Texas
I want to do basically what I think is the dagger in Charlie Strong's contract and job there in Texas... Kansas, the dagger in Charlie Strong's heart. Can you believe it? A new coach is now going to be at Texas and at LSU.
Mississippi State doesn't need to fire Dan Mullen, but the assistant coaches must be evaluated
If we do make a change, I don't think it needs to be Coach Mullen... I don't think we need to go to the extreme of getting rid of him but I think the assistant coaches need to look... he needs to take a hard look in the mirror.
Being ranked outside the top four in the College Football Playoff provides motivation for the Washington Huskies.
I actually think that it's going to provide us some good motivation being outside of the top four. Don't let the kids get complacent. Don't let them start reading all the headlines. Flip the script on them a little bit. Control our own destiny.
Butch Jones is on the hot seat at Tennessee
My Hot Seat's Butch Jones. South Carolina took the big L to them. He's had a rough season. They had some national championship hopes. They've lost a lot of games, so I think he's on the hot seat.
LSU will lose to Alabama because Coach O is a 'simple coach' who can't handle a two-week bye
I think LSU's fucked this week. My sabermetrics is you can't give Coach O two weeks to do anything. Coach O has to have a game a week... You don't spend 14 days studying 2 plus 2 equals 4.
Oregon is back to sucking like they did before they were good
The University of Oregon is back to sucking like they did before they got good.
Washington football is officially back.
Washington [Huskies] might be back. Well, they like to say like, oh yeah, Washington went to that Rose Bowl like 25 years ago.
Tennessee is a lucky team that will eventually run out of luck.
Tennessee has been the Les Miles team this year. Les was good for a really long time, but then he would have four or five games that he had no business winning, that he would luck into. And then, like, you get off to a hot start, and then your luck runs out, and when it runs out, it runs out hard. Real hard.
LSU will look like a completely different team under Coach O
I think you're actually going to see a lot of stuff, a lot of different stuff from LSU when they take the field Saturday night against Missouri.
The Syracuse defense is historically bad
The [Syracuse] offense looks inspiring, but the defense looks historically bad.
Do not schedule North Dakota State because they will stomp you
Do not schedule the [Bison] because they will stomp you if you do. Add Iowa to the list of teams that have gone down to the Bison. Now Minnesota, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Iowa... have all been beaten and stomped on by the Bison.
Alabama will beat Ole Miss because their defense isn't good
I'm going Alabama. I think they get it done. Yeah. I'm not sold on the Ole Miss defense at all.
The SEC is dead in 2016 except for Alabama
Do you think the stories about the SEC being dead are correct? I do, except for Alabama. because Alabama looked good last weekend against USC.
Notre Dame is heading in the wrong direction
If you had to describe Notre Dame for the last seven years, it's perfectly this. Are they back? Question mark. They've been almost back, sort of back, never fully back. But I think now they're going the wrong direction. Now they're set back.
Jim Trestle believed the punt was the most important play in football
[Jim Trestle] sits in the punt meeting, special teams, he said, 'Punt, the most important play in football.' And he just kept repeating that... I believed him because that's how we played. They called it Trestle Ball.
LSU does not have a good quarterback and will continue to struggle passing the ball
Turns out LSU doesn't have a good quarterback. Oh, you think? No doy. The 10,000th year that Les Miles has a quarterback that can't throw the ball.
The Washington Huskies are the #1 surprise team and a dark horse for the national title
My number one surprise team this year is the Washington Huskies... I've got Washington as my number one surprise team this year.
Northwestern will hit the over on 6.5 wins
Northwestern, six and a half. I'm going to go with over... I'm going to have to go with over the six and a half.
Ohio State will be a playoff team because they remind me of the 1986 Hurricanes
I like Ohio State. They remind me a lot of our 86th University of Miami team, Hurricanes. We had 12 players drafted. Ohio State had 12 players drafted. Everyone thought that we were gloom, doomed the next year, and we came back in 87 and won the national championship.
Mississippi State is going to struggle this year because Dak Prescott is gone
I'm going to say Mississippi State is going to struggle a little bit this year just simply because we don't have Dak Prescott on the field anymore for us.
Alabama can beat the United States criminal justice system
This one [is] could Alabama beat the United States criminal justice system. And the answer is yes... the Louisiana district attorney from Ouachita Parish has declined to press charges on [Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones] for drugs and guns.
