Florida State beats Bama by 2 TD’s. I have to wonder, is Florida State spending NIL $$ like our friends at Texas Tech?
From what I’ve found, 12 mil for football with 800k to the qb.

Yep
Debeor is not the guy the for job, but I think people don’t understand how truly great a coach Saban was, easily the greatest of all time
Now would Saban still be Saban in the NIL era? Who knows

After Bama takes 4 Ls this year, this win won’t look like such a big deal…

You think maybe FSU and Clemson are auditioning for the SEC?
Yeah, I don’t think they will be getting Alabama’s vote.
Too bad Baylor couldn’t do their part vs Auburn.

idk - but Georgia Tech beating Colorado at Colorado was also a big win for them (the ACC).

You don’t want to be the guy that follows a legend, you want to be the guy that followed the guy that followed a legend. The bar is set extremely high. DeBoer will wish he stayed at Washington.
As for Brian Kelley, I never liked him and when LSU hired him, I thought they made a bad pick.

You hit it, Mike. I don’t know how many times we have to see it… Everyone thinks they can buck history, very few can…
And, for what it’s worth, I agree with you on both counts… I like DeBoer, dude just didnt understand what he was walking into to. Brian Kelly is garbage. He’s always been an a$$, and you’d have to work to find someone who is a worse fit in Louisiana than that guy.

Saban was a micro-manager, and a good one. It’s hard to go from that mindset to a more traditional executive approach with the same intensity.

He is following a legend plus coaching at a school that always has goofy expectations.
They wanted Keisean Henderson so bad… And after Friday’s game i bet that 
has gone up.
Plus i’m pretty sure he’s not going anywhere. No city to live in and play football like Houston.

Malzan has a lot to do with this.

That was a team that was determined to let everyone know that last year’s 2-10 record was strictly a fluke. The old FSU is back. Should be fun in ACC.
FSU’s qb looked like a carbon copy of Greg Ward and Malzan’s offense was dynamic
No doubt. Hiring the right OC makes a big difference in W’s and L’s. We’ll see how Nagle
does at UH, but I’m jealous of teams running a high octane offense, and it certainly doesn’t hurt in terms of fan excitement.
Ultimately I just want to win, but when we see a team like SMU competing for the ACC title in year one, I question why we abandoned this type of coaching scheme.

Malzahn has a hatred for Alabama going back to his Auburn days.
