Around SBN: Can Tebow Say No To Anything?

CURIOUS INDEX, 11/29/07


Skip Bertman, AD for LSU, has been asked for permission to contact Les Miles
by Bill Martin, his counterpart at Michigan. Brian thinks this means the hiring of Miles as the next head coach is a fait accompli; And the Valley Shook bids a complicated pre-farewell where they nod in agreement with Matt Zemek from College Football News, which makes us a bit skeevy; and we think the whole thing is still very much in the air given that there are two large universities ready to throw money at a single coach, which is always a tussle between greed, sentiment, ego, and the half-baked estimates of future success cooked up by the players.


Such a pretty baby LEMME HOLD HIM MY TURN MY TURN!!! (Img: TigerSmack.)

The overriding sentiment--our skepticism excluded--is that the Hat will be traveling north. (Wonder if you can see it on Google Maps? It's white and shiny enough to be seen from outer space, like Tim Tebow.) That said, don't give up hope: you, too, can throw in your resume here.

Despite guiding Syracuse to the worst three year stretch in their history, Greg Robinson will return next year as the head coach of the Orange. The Carrier Dome breathed a sad sigh, or at least we like to picture it that way, shrugging its roof like shoulders and staring at you with big sad cartoon eyes.

Bears Necessity wanna hiya da Coach O! Get in line, sir. Coach O gotta heapem dem phone callza return when he gettta backfrom da fammily vacation to da SanDIegoZoo. Whaddaya meaannaIcant trappa dabeasts hyah?

Tom Osborne wants you to come play for the newest, most exciting football coach in America, son. He's able, capable, and just waiting to help you reach your potential as a person and as a football player. Don't worry about the name--what are names, anyway, really? You could call me anything you like, really. My wife calls me Blumpy the Love Ogre sometimes, actually. What the hell am I doing here...

It's the death machine, Art. Houston coach Art Briles steps boldly into the mouth of the death machine by taking the Baylor coaching job. Briles reportedly looks forward to "being fired."

Art Briles could have been the next Dread Pirate Leach in Lubbock…and instead he chooses Waco!

Skepticism, huh?

Pedigree notwithstanding its really is hard to see the Hat at Michigan. Ferentz would have been so much better of a fit – hideous suicide inducing hire – but still the much better fit.

Still, the word certainly seems to be that Lllllllloyd is unenthusiastic and Mary Sue dubious. Enthusiasm among alumni, to be sure. Knowing a great many such, however, even there a pretty severy devision of opinion exists.

Entertaining denuement to follow to be sure.

In any case, just at present the folks down in Baton Rouge might have some preferance for Visors over White Hats. Hmm.

you can’t link it b/c the only source is the mouth of crazy, drunken cajuns (and message boards), but some would have you believe the saban is going back to baton rouge “when” les leaves. i laugh.

Speaking of death machines, does anyone else see the Wannstaching of West Virgina as prit’ near inevitable?

West Virginia is the new Number Two.

Nobody in America expects Pittsburgh to have a chance.

Loki is licking his chops.

MAO!

Mizzou prevails, the Mountaineers go down, UT defeats LSU in yet another multiple-overtime thriller. You heard it here first.

my sincerest hope in life is that the dread pirate leach (yarrrrrrrr! bitches) will jump the ship of perpetual mediocrity that is texas tech for the calmer waters of the pacific, specifically, ucla (i assume karl dorrell is two steps from the edge of the plank), and take with him his new d-cord…da coach O

I just took off my pants and put on one of those beer helmets while sitting here in my office, because if Greg Robinson isn’t getting fired, ain’t none of us getting fired!

My record speaks for itself boss.

Some quick wit has been over at Robinson’s Wikipedia page:

“Despite the worst 3 year span in Syracuse football history, Greg Robinson will be SU’s football coach for the 2008 season. Thus, to the delight of college football fans everywhere, another season of his hilariously incomprehensible press conferences is forthcoming.”

I actually think it makes sense to keep him. Because:

1) A school should give any new coach at least five years, unless he turns out to be a 24-carat embarrassment. And that goes double for a guy in his first head-coaching job.

2) Just who would they be able to get, this year, who would have a high likelihood of being a lot better? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I’m not sure if one can have a football orgasm, but if O signs as Cal’s D-Coordinator I might have to invent it.

Your Coach O speak is way too articulate and discrete. More elisions and thirty-letter words, please.

Re: Osborne. There was a great line in the AP article about Nebraska’s coaching search yesterday: “At 70, Osborne’s coaching years are long behind him.” It must be really difficult to be a Penn St. fan sometimes…

@ #6: A little of both, I think. They lost a really good coach (and person) at about the same time that they stepped up the level of competition in their league. One bad hire and voila! Vanderbilt West! (Or the Baptist Notre Dame, if you will).

@ #9: But in California, would anyone notice? The madness would be relegated to 10 pm ET KOs on Fox Sports West…

God bless that dog. Here’s from that story #18 links to:

“He [Powers] waved his hands to signal that the pass was incomplete — his standard celebration after a pass breakup — when the dog, standing by the goal post, grabbed his left hand.”

Any clown who has a “standard celebration after a pass breakup” deserves what he gets. Even more so when his mommy comes in and sues somebody over his wittle owie that didn’t even need stitches.

That is the 3rd bite this year if you count Miss St and Georgia.

Hey that was an Auburn dog biting an Auburn receiver celebrating. That dog dont like celebrating, no matter who it is…That dog swore he saw Powers going for his gun…..whats next? Have That Dog carry a Tazer?
Hell that would be some kinda awesome…..
Instead of a bite, we would have saw Jerraud Powers instantly dropped while That Dog is sitting there with a tazer in his mouth with two darts with electrodes steadily givin the juice to Powers as he stiffly falls over face first in the turf, convulsions for about 30 secs…..
Try to SUE then , MOMMA….You’ll be next….

Hey sweet, you only have to work 40 hours a week for that Michigan coaching spot! I’m in!!!

In his bit about Hot Pockets, Jim Gaffigan says that the directions should tell you to “cook in microwave, then place directly in toilet.” I think that’s kind of how the Baylor job should work: They should just pay Briles the entire $12.6 million now, let him go 12-36 or whatever, dump him after the customary four years, and start looking for someone else. No need to complicate things.

The headlines now declare “Osborne Taps Himself As Head Coach.” Can anyone say marshall law?

I applied for the Michigan jobs stating, “What I lack in experience I will surely make up for with enthusiasm.”

I submitted my resume for the coaching gig, but they frowned upon my requirement that I not be required to work on gamedays so I can sit in the bar and watch games all day…
I guess i’ll keep looking

If they dont do anything after Monday, then they will be waiting on Del Rio looks like……at least til after Bowl Season……SEC is getting stronger…hopefully we can get Applewhite to go to Houston and get a proven Offensive Coordinator

LSU “Giving” Permission Dept:

LSU giving permission to Michigan to interview Les Miles makes about as much sense as the current girlfriend giving permission to the boyfriend to date an old girlfriend. What would be the parting words from the current girlfriend to the boyfriend?

…..“You can go out with her this one time, but no bj’s?!!!”…..

…. Makes no sense.

by Stacy Keibler Luvs Me on Nov 29, 2007 12:25 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I am now fully convinced that Les’ skull is actually the shape and size of a large Folger’s Choice coffee can, hence the headwear. I mean, that’s what coffee cans are for, right? Socking away stuff for a rainy day? Any balls left up there, Coach? You gotta game coming up, y’know.

by NativeSon on Nov 29, 2007 12:55 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Seriously, how upset can LSU fans really be if Miles bolts?

The goal should be to win the national title with all that talent, not go 10-2 every year and annihilate whomever in the Sugar Bowl.

Conversely, Miles’ results in Baton Rouge have to look very appealing to Michigan fans, as his habit of underachieving with tons of talent and never winning a national title will remind them of the man who always got outcoached by someone like Lou Holtz, Hayden Fry and shat the bed on his way to another underachieving season.

Les Miles is Bo Shembecler with a healthy amount of spicy gumbo thrown in for variation.

#19, Baylor makes Vandy look like a juggernaut. They’re essentially just sitting there drawing a paycheck from the Big 12 for their cut of postseason appearances by other schools. At least Scott Drew has made them competitive in hoops.

I want a Tazer wielding dog. Gots lots of folks need ’lectrcuten.

Raider Red, you can thank Ann Richards for that. She fought to keep her alma mater out of the crap conferences where TCU, SMU, Rice and Houston now reside. I’m not sure if it’s the only thing she did for Baylor football, but for that alone she probably deserves a statue on campus.

Coop,
     You forgot that Schembechler held a 11-9-1 record against Ohio State during his tenure.

by Petie on Nov 29, 2007 2:28 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Well no wonder Carr was owned by Ohio State. He only worked 40 hours a week! I’ll bet you Jim Tressel works at least 42.
