So, this morning, I thanked God for unanswered prayers

[LonghornDave]

Thank you for not granting my request for Urban Meyer. God (and I) knew he was a POS. But I wanted to win.

Moral compass spinning, Urban Meyer’s job rests in hands of a leggy, long-haired blond. His name is Trevor Lawrence

Report: Jaguars discussing possibility of firing Urban Meyer

Turn out the lights......

The Pro game was tough on Saban as well.

Yep. The NFL and the College game are 2 entirely different animals.

Mackovic would have been well suited to be an NFL coordinator. His college coaching was mostly a wreck, absent a few good years with us, and a few good years with U of I.

Good college coaches who failed in the NFL (there are many, many more): Spurrier, Saban, Chip Kelley, Lou Holtz, etc...

You were not alone, and I am sure every single person who pined for Urban joins you in being grateful that particular wish didn't come true.

I concur, I was so bummed when we didn't get him but am on the Sark bandwagon

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

And the Lord gave us a good man that understands the power of redemption!

he was an assistant for the Cowboys an Chiefs

He was the HC of the Chiefs. Landry actually gave him a glowing recommendation after being the QB coach for the Cowboys, which says a lot about how the game used to be coached. Verbal abuse was kind of just expected.

For as good as he was with QBs and offenses, he was plagued by QB indecision in the NFL. The Hunt family was giving him a ton of crap over playing Todd Blackledge because they supported veteran Bill Kenney. But Blackledge was the media darling who they used a really high draft pick on. His 1986 Chiefs team was actually pretty salty, and Lamar Hunt actually gave him a contract extension before firing him two weeks later. It was... strange.
Mackovic Says Firing Caught Him by Surprise

Sounds a lot like how his tenure at Texas and Arizona ended. Lots of accusations from players about chemistry.

Lincoln Riley would do absolutely fantastic in the NFL. Within a decade, he'll be considered the next Lombardi. Same thing with the (former) Mullet.

Jimbo, on the other hand, couldn't win more than 2 games per year at anywhere but A&M. He has aggie written all over him. He should stay there until his contract runs out. (not that any NFL team would make him any offers).

Speaking of ags, Coach Sherman was a very good OL coach, but a lousy college head coach. That's where he should have ended up his coaching days--an OL coach in the NFL.

Doesn't look like aggy is ever going to allow that. They love bidding against themselves.
