it's probably georgia right now. i've got lsu as a better job than texas, bama and usc, tho. bama is an awful job, despite how much a coach *can* win there.
by that metric, we'd have called miami the best job from '83-01. yet there were reasons every coach before coker left on his own, three with stacked rosters.
to me, the best jobs are the ones that give you a real chance to win championships, but also some realism about the years where you don't. and if you can do it without having to travel too much in recruiting? big win.
oh, and institutional commitment to winning. forgot about that. that, fwiw, is the biggest demerit against texas. however, the places that want to win like that are typically not realistic about things.
but at some point, the bottom is gonna fall out. it always does. most amazing thing about the malzahn era is he avoided a classically diastrous auburn season. such a peak-and-valley program.
been hearing that same sh t for 25 years. the most inexplicably mediocre program in america. the last of the potential sleeping giants. i'll believe it when i see it.
i can never tell if ou is a great job or they've just had the best eye for coaches in history. there is *no* reason they've been so good except for really, really wanting to be good. *needing* to be good.
in other news, stop retweeting the people you hate. seriously. took me a while to learn that, but we're all better when we don't do that.
exactly. people sending things that are the opposite of why anyone follows them. not that you should serve your twitter followers, per se, but i think you get my point.
there was a time i did it because i felt people who agreed with those folks silently needed to hear the truth, and i used the dummies as a tool to do that. not much silent anything anymore. the utility of that is gone.
tillman's a great test of one's ability to view things with nuanced eyes. can one see heroism in him while opposing the war? can people support the military -- using a broad term there but you get it -- while acknowledging that military let him down in life and death?
instead, my industry uses him as a mascot for a lot of things an informed person *knows* he wasn't about, or certainly wasn't about after he'd spent some time in afghanistan.
again, how we use pat tillman is absolutely pathetic.
when the pandemic hit, obviously, our ability to book guests changed, too. so we leaned on my friends to come on. what we found was the audience for #TheRightTime would rather hear me chop it up with the homies than the famous people.
this is something i wrote about prince last year, a look at the unreal syracuse concert the estate posted on youtube. theundefeated.com/features/princ…
