I never claimed to be an Xs and Os expert like many around here. Again, back to the crappy landing or ****** food at a restaurant without being a chef, you just know crap football when you see it.

So coach, have the anger management classes helped you out?

In all seriousness, this was nothing compared to more than a few things Woody Hayes did in live games over the years.

I just watched Belichek (sp?) throw a phone at a wall after he lost a challenge. I suspect he was chewing out whoever told him to challenge. I don't know because I had just turned it on and have the sound off.

Howard Hughes was wealthy, thus eccentric. Bellichik has the skins, so he has fire in his reactions. They aren't crazy tirades.

Campbell is up and coming, so his tirade is like a poor person who is just called crazy, not eccentric.

Ha! Sounds like me.

I’m half way towards my goal of becoming an eccentric billionaire. (I think you can figure out which half I’ve nailed down thus far...)

@Chop, remember, you don't have to be a pilot to know if I make a crappy landing.

You could have a picture perfect landing and at the last second a stiff cross wind comes along and makes it a crappy landing.

Has nothing to do with your skills. Sometimes outside influences have bad effects on an otherwise flawless execution.

Not sure what my point is in relation to the topic but Texas might be a place where coaches have great skills but outside influences lead to a crappy landing.

My point is, we don't have to be experts on football to know crappy schemes and play when we see it, just like whatever caused the landing doesn't matter. The folks in back know it wasn't good.

The ex-Navy pilots at Delta still think every landing is on a carrier. :brickwall:
Herman might have the skill set, but his ego fails to recognize it.

Yep. Some see humility as a sign of weakness. I see it as strength. None of us is a know-it-all. We all make mistakes. Egoists make the same mistakes over and over. Which, by Herman's own acknowledgement of the definition, makes Herman not only arrogant but insane.

This all coming from a guy with a pic of a fat Mangino as your avatar which I assume you are at the very least making fun of him, but in reality silently criticizing him for being fat.

He’s my top non-Urban Meyer pick to take over here, but I said I’d stop talking about that...
 
Back to Auburn:

Auburn's AD Allen Greene sent an open letter to Auburn fans rationalizing his hiring of Harsin. It could have been written by the aTm admin. Below are some excerpts:

“He’s the ultimate competitor. You have to be in this league,”

“The opportunity to coach the SEC West isn’t for everybody. It takes something and someone special to want to compete in the toughest division in college football, with a strength of schedule every year that equals or exceeds anyone’s.”

"He's a family man."

"Schools in the market for a new head coach reached out to Bryan. He turned them all down. Until Auburn called. 'How could you not?'..."

"We believe in work. Hard work."​

No doubt. And there are special challenges when you're the #2 school in a state you share with the juggernaut of college football.

He'll probably end up making life more difficult for our country cousins in the Brazos Valley.

Such a great point. My closest friends in life have been those very few individuals who managed their egos and maintained humility. Such behavior was (is) normal for them. Effortless. Somehow I just gravitated to such individuals, probably because I secretly aspired to be like them. (Believe me, I am not.)

What few understand is that by managing one’s ego and expressing humility, the level of respect one attracts can be enormous. Very VERY few in life get that.

They were heroes no doubt, but all of them had impaired hearing due to flying over the hump in the unpressured cabins in the -3's and 46's.
 
Michigan:

Harbaugh is still head coach (for now at least). Taking a page from Tom Herman and Big Ed, Harbaugh recently canned a coordinator to save his own neck for another year--DC Don Brown.

Potential DC replacements include: Muschamp, Jim Leavitt (FAU DC), Derek Mason (formerly Vandy), Lovie Smith (formerly U of I; good defensive mind/crummy HC), Charlie Strong (see Lovie Smith comment); John Rudzinski (Air Force DC).

5 candidates for Michigan football defensive coordinator

Michigan Football: More strong options for defensive coordinator

Michigan fires defensive coordinator Don Brown after Wolverines struggle through 2020 season, per report

Harbaugh will likely have at least one more year to turn the ship around. But, if not, candidates to replace him include: Bieniemy (OC KC Chiefs), Byron Leftwich (OC Tampa Bay Bucs), PJ Fleck (Minnesota), Clark Lea (DC Notre Dame), Tom Allen (Indiana), Pat Fitzgerald (NW), Matt Campbell (ISU), Jeremy Chadwell (Coastal Carolina), Luke Fickell (Cincy).

As much as I like Campbell, if I was Michigan, I'd offer Allen or Fleck.

You cannot have the a strength of schedule that exceeds a Group of 5 school when you only play 8 conference games, 1 tough out of conference game and 3 FCS or lower Group of 5 teams.
