I love these totally spontaneous and unscripted moments....

agree. what got him an A from me this year will not get him an A next year.

The "just money" angle also happens to fit PJ's mantra of we can't win, and wishing won't make it so. Coaching to win has a lot to do with Indiana's success as well.

Sorry, not calling DeBoer a panic hire, but unless they plan on running him out of Tuscaloosa, he'd be a fool to take the job right now. So would any other coach. It's one of the reasons I keep laughing at the need to push PJ into this job in the other thread. He wouldn't touch it right now. He...

The entire Athletic Department is currently being reviewed. This whole situation could be a massive dumpster fire for a little while. What coach is going to take that job without knowing who their boss will be (I foresee a new AD soon)? What coach is going to walk into that with an interim...

That was then. This is now.

I don't disagree that the best players are on the field as starters. And I'm not saying the real studs are behind the starters. There are times when subbing someone in for a few plays would have helped both the starter get a breather, and a young player get a feel for the game and motivation to...

To quote the old man getting stoned in Life of Brian - how can it get any worse?

Fleck not giving some reps to depth players is something he has done consistently. The only outlier I can think of was Northwestern State this year. Particularly at running back, but at other positions as well, he tends to pick his horse and stay with it regardless of outcomes. It's my...

Except the amount of experience the $2MM coordinator has vs. the internship program PJ is running for the top position this year. At some point more money is just more money, but when the pay gap is that large, there is usually an experience gap that goes along with it. But hey, in three years...

Did a little digging on the interwebs. There's no indication that the policy changed, nor that it is still in place for Football and Basketball. I'd be shocked if it still was in place. In the day and age of players not honoring any commitments, this step, which was needed in 2014, a change...

Did Drake play like a RS Freshman? At times. Did he overcome some significant obstacles and keep the team moving forward, as you noted? He absolutely did. There are no guarantees of what will happen, but the biggest things holding Drake back are the offensive philosophy, the offensive line play...

I heard they were interested in Tony Dungy.

He was successful at Western Michigan with Temu Tressel Ball, so he would most likely be more successful with access to capital to build one of the better, if not the best, rosters in the league. No worse than 3rd or 4th in talent. His winning percentage against unranked opponents would likely...

We're going into year three of this experiment, which I learned about for the first time when PJ was brought up during the Vikings game in Seattle. It helps explain some of what we've seen in the past two years. I'm curious if it doesn't change if we see similar results in year 3? Was this...
