It’s the whole pay for play model that has me uneasy. They are paying people to just show up on recruiting trips. It really sucky.
Canes recruit Jaden Harris from GA had car service pick him up at his home take him to the airport ATL-MIA round trip , stay at Ritz Carlton Miami room food drinks provided , met with Manny and coaches, toured the U campus and facilities and got paid. That's incredible. Apparently Fairfield Inn wasn't good enough.

Urban Meyer to Cincinnati....but not until '25

Gee Wilikers....what are they paying him.....must have shown him a GIANT NIL fund to be used to pay players in '25

Remember, most say they don't have a problem with players getting paid.....

Urban heart issues must have improved for him to coach again.

Must have….surprised it was Cincy vs upper level

Many top tier coaches left the NCAA …. Wonder if the CFP expansion will drive premium coaches to lesser jobs, but jobs that have an easier path to CFP birth….ACC and Big12 are the first conferences that come to mind

I recall the coach who got fired from Nebraska Scott Frost came from UCF with a 13-0 season with an easier path to go undefeated compared to teams with tougher schedules ( ie SEC ).

He had a heck of a run...Co-National Champion followed by Co-#2

I remember back in the day when Colt Brennan QB from Hawaii who died a few years ago from drugs led HI to an undefeated season playing against sub quality teams then played Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. HI came down to earth by getting spanked by the Bulldogs in New Orleans. Colt admitted he also smoked a lot of weed before games.

Dabo be gettin spanked down here.....these types of comments have been around for awhile, but now he's not winning and playing the slow southern guy has long reached the point of diminishing returns.

His/Clemson's problem is at least three fold:

1) The lack of playing in the Portal IS an issue
2) but can he really coach? His roster isn't chopped liver.....
3) He hasn't been the same since his 2 longtime Coordinators departed

Georgia might be the Greatest ever, but you're still supposed to at least Appear competitive

Maybe #4 is they don't have the financial backing $$$ to pay the players......

Saban had a private discussion with Dabo when Saban was leaving Bama. Word had it that Dabo was trying to be sold to come coach at his alma mater. Odd rumor recently that FSU is trying to lure Saban out of retirement to coach the Noles.

Dabo was the aggressor, not Saban.....Dabo "announced" he wouldn't be Coaching at bama, implying he was asked. Three years ago he might have had a shot, but not now. And can you imagine if he was the Coach at Bama and made that Gee Wilikers, dah heeh HEE remark "maybe we gave those players that stuff" after the positive tests for banned substances? Bama would have received the Death Penalty. He can't play that dumb redneck at Bama as it wouldn't be cute to the base.....especially when the media jumped on it.....

I edited my post above to include the following below

Amazing back in the day as it was taboo to pay for play the players and the teams and guilty parties who were caught paid some sort of a price.

Right….and to be clear here I’m not a Harbaugh fan, but what exactly did he/Michigan do?
