Sorry there is a freeze in place at this time.  We'd ask everyone to please remain on topic as best as possilbe.*

 

*I'm fully aware that is impossible.

 

Hey Mr Brad, we should do a virtual Happy Hour on Sunday night. I would have said Monday but have a beer dinner that night.

Or the same Co-DC...

or maybe get those Co-DC's to see if they want to have a retirement job together in beautiful Tampa, Florida.

Is there a risk Leavitt wouldn't be the same? Sure, but having Stoops with him would make it worth that risk

Plus CJL rehire is probably a short term thing. Maybe 3 to 4 seasons and everyone rides off into the sunset happy

This was my original thought right after Scott was fired... Make it a longer term deal on paper, but have an agreement with Leavitt to retire if things don't go well. The reality is that anyone we hire is likely a short term thing, either they are great and get poached, or they are terrible and we have to fire them... I guess conceivably, there is a coach out there that could be middling that we would hang on to, but in this conference, with the talent in this state, there is no reason we should settle for less than double digit wins every other year at least.

 

If I am VPMK, I am doing some back door deal with CJL, 2 years, come back, help raise money for the stadium, then... if you're not successful (bowl in year 2), retire and get a huge ceremony when the stadium opens.

And if it doesn't happen, what is going on this week happens.

XFL folded many years ago. XFL 2.0 May fold again. Who knows. The Rock may be able to keep it going. 

XFL did fold years ago,  XFL 2.0 folded mid season due to the pandemic, XFL 3.0 is the charm and starts this spring, buckle up, it will be exciting!!! Or not

After all this getting Dan Mullen would be hilarious.

Or, candidates like Mullen flying off the board elsewhere will leave me nervous incase we strike out on Prime and Chadwell. I could stomach a Mullen/Herman consolation. A WIllie Simmons consolation and I'll need a break

Not going to happen, he will have enough athletes to win in our conference.

No one in the mainstream press is even talking about Leavitt.   The only people bringing up his name are clowns on this message board and five people surveyed at the game, and those are probably people on this message board.   No serious person would consider bringing him back.   If you want nostalgia, go watch some old clips on YouTube.
