Yeah it was a semi joke, but miracles happen sometimes. Hey alot of Northern Guys move south. Nick Saban had roots farther north and didn't like the freeezing his arse off.
Don't forget, with the new technology, NCAA 2005 is very detailed in their offensive and defensive schemes!!! ....I'm addicted to it like a 5 year old. I play one game per night, after getting home from work.
you're right. I had forgotten about those. I do think those situations were slightly different than Bill Bellichiks though. Carroll's last three years with the Patriots were... 10-6, 9-7, 8-8. Maybe he saw the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to be around long? He had already been fired by the Jet's once in his career after going 6-10. He definately wasn't coming off of 2 superbowl wins... Groh had a decent sucess in his one year in the NFL, but he had been a college coach in the past, and he returned to his alma-mater. I would think LSU had a much better chance if Bellichik was an LSU grad. Anyways, I hope ya'll get a good coach for the sake of the SEC and the SEC West in particular. We've won 3 of the past 4 SEC championships, which feels much better than watching Florida, Georgia and Tennessee dominate! Good luck to you guys.
I want to announce that I will be interviewing as well. I never played football, never coached it, and don't have any other relevant credentials but Skip was impressed by the fact that I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express the other night... It will be good financially for the university as well. We are negotiating the details, but here are some of the terms of the deal.... 1) A dorm to live in. 2) One of those little golf-cart looking things on campus to get around in. 3) One of those foam LSU Hand-Claw-Thingies. 4) Season tickets to see the Dolphins play next year with a pen and pad so I can take notes...(Thanks Skip, you're too kind) 5) A high powered slingshot to shoot at the opposing team when necessary (3rd down conversions, etc....) 6) An assistant that I can take all frustration out on. When we're having a bad game, I will drag him out to the middle of the field at halftime and beat him with a pipewrench. 7) NO BUYOUT - I can't get fired. When the fans are tired of me, they will be allowed on the field so they can beat the hell out of me until I stop moving. On the same token, I can't leave. If I do, LSU will hunt me down and kill me... But it won't cost me anything... SWEET! 8) A purple and gold hockey mask with blinking lights and stuff. (Hey, why not?) 9) A 55 gallon fish tank with 538,282 red M&M's in it (peanut M&M's) 10) An office in the female cheerleaders' locker room (Still working on this one... Don't think it's gonna fly...) Geaux Tigers!!
let me just say about this about that. I probably wouldn't make a real good football coach but on the other hand the basketball team is another story. The basketball team would be playing better defense but the offense wouldn't be half court, they would be run and gun. 1)They don't shoot very good in a halfcourt situation for starters. 2) Utah game last year, we had a big lead when fastbreaking but as soon as we went to a halfcourt offense our lead evaporated. This LSU mens basketball team is better off at a run and gun type of offense plus its more fun for the fans to watch, win or lose. :thumb:
