I'm reading a text timestamped at 1:52 that says a nigerian prince wants to send me $10 million. What does it all mean?

Is your source Leon Sandcastle?

Maybe another school he's interested in wasn't willing to give him the guarantees he wanted, so he's trying to use USFs offers as leverage. In the end, might just stay at JSU for another year if he doesn't get whatever he's looking for.

Not surprised that one of the largest egos in professional sports has a strong opinion about something.

I think Jamey Chadwell would be the #2 choice. He's built Coastal Carolina into a ranked team in short order. Simmons, or anyone else in the field, I think, would be a distant 3rd choice.

It's a sign...

I think we should let @deioniscoming do it.

Wonder if he'll be able to find a way to bring Raymond Woodie along with him

Obviously because Deion Sanders is the head coach there and not here.

Geez, we can't even do that right.

Not saying wins aren’t progress but it’s astonishing how much we wasted our potential. We went from meteoric rise into power conference to hoping for more than 2 wins in Conference USA 2.0. In the meantime, our neighbor to the east has left us in the dust. In the big picture of things, it blows no matter how you frame it.

Considering how watered down the conference is starting next year, I’m not sure how much juice wins against teams like North Texas and Rice will bring.

Considering we’ve won a combined 8 games in four years, that would be an astronomical improvement.

He has proven that he can succeed in the Sun Belt conference which is basically what the AAC is going forward.

But now I bet you can make a mean varenyky.

Sorry guys, my fault. It was all the shitposting about CJS that did it.

We certainly don't, and when I say "probably a better than not chance," I mean like 55 - 60 percent. Any sane athletic director would not retain a coach who has struggled so much, but the fact that he went full court press on extensions for an underperforming athletic department makes me question his perspective. I'm all for stability, but sheesh, not like this. Going into Taggart's third year, Harlan made it clear that a bowl game was the expectation. I don't know that VPMK has set any expectations whatsoever other than "have patience." CJS will certainly paint him into a corner if we lose out the season, but with another win or two, I think VPMK can point to the injuries, "competitiveness despite adversity" of the team, look forward to a watered down AAC in 2023 and give him another go.

There is one third-year coach in FBS that has won four or fewer games with their current school: Jeff Scott. There are two second-year coaches who have won four games: Butch Jones and Jedd Fisch; no second year coach has won fewer than four games. Every other second-year coach, with less time, have won more games than Scott. The average win total of current first-year coaches is 4. The average win total of current third-year coaches is 16. It is beyond unacceptable that there is probably a better than not chance that he will be retained even if he doesn't win another game this season.

Finally CJS has succeeded in making us more like Clemson. We're now an elite progrum.

Coz Charlie Strong was terrible in a way that VPMK didn't like. Jeff Scott is terrible in a way that VPMK likes.
