“Massive revenues”?
I want to know what that’s like in Denton.
Which is why it's amusing that a female soccer player is part of this lawsuit. She'll find herself on the wrong end of that I.O.U.

There is one thing I am hanging my hat on as a Mean Green fan: Morris delivered a fantastic offense in his first season. Give me more of that with even an average defense next year and we're looking good Mr. Kotter.
I'm not sure I can hang my hat on that without Chandler Rogers. I think the offense will be *good*, but it's going to be hard to match 3,383 yards (not even starting the whole season!) and 29 TDs against 5 picks.

Traylor would absolutely use it as a stepping stone to another job.
He might . . . but didn't he reject Tech's overtures?

Zero sympathy. The system was just fine when the Clemson‘s of the world were robbing G5 rosters, but now that the even bigger dogs are coming after your people there’s an issue?
I'm not saying you're wrong; I just don't have much recollection of Clemson being a particular predator of G5s.

Full rebuild seemed to work for Texas State. Going to their first ever bowl game after cleaning house.
I don't know what to think about that team. They were all over the place this year. Giving up 77 points to Arkansas State is pretty awful.

Currently in Texas, a student cannot change high schools for purposes of athletics.
Technically speaking. But it happens all the time.

I hope this isn't his way of "hitting the transfer portal." Because I can think of a couple of "P5" conferences that would upgrade their commissioner position by bringing in Aresco.

Actually the last coach to get hired away to what be became a P5 conference team was Jerry Moore who was hired by Texas Tech after the 1980 season. He was the last coach to leave with a.500 record or better before Seth.
Thank you, I forgot about him. The larger point still stands.

To Seth's credit, he did what every North Texas coach has tried to do, but no one has been able to do since Hayden Fry--get offered a head coaching gig at a major conference program. And to his further credit, he turned it down due to loyalty. Certainly loyalty to the coaches on his staff, in that he demanded KSU hire them all. And I believe part of it was loyalty to North Texas, who had given him his first opportunity as a head coach.

He didn't want to retain certain KState assistants, and they decided to move on.
In other words, he moved on so they moved on.

would the coaching staff want him back?
Assuming there aren't issues between him and others on the team, the coaching staff would be crazy not to want him back. He demands so much attention as a deep threat that he opens opportunities for others all over the field.

SEC being the best conference is another opinion. I doubt I’ll do the research to disprove it, but if you look at head to head competition against other conferences, the SEC doesn’t dominate. But since when does head to head competition matter?
It varies from year to year. I would think that over the past 15 years, the SEC has easily been the best conference, at least at the top. I've heard the pundits generally say the PAC 12 is the best this year.

Your opinion of who’s the best is doesn’t mean they’re the best.
Really, a playoff system based primarily on opinions is a pretty crappy system.

FSU got jobbed so ESPN could put Texas in. The big 12 is weak. They beat Bama when Milroe was a shell of the player he has become. Georgia losing grenaded the whole thing.
Nah, Texas was ahead of Alabama anyway. They were going to get in. But the committee did not want to leave the playoff without an SEC team.

Oregon St., Washington St. to face MWC teams in scheduling deal
I guess that means Oregon State and Washington State will be independent next year, for all intents and purposes. In all sports. No conference titles to compete for or win.
What a strange state of existence.

Seven at-large spots in the playoff is way too many. An 8-team playoff with the top 7 conference champs plus one at-large would be far better.

Eric Morris ALWAYS has a good quarterback. Rogers or not, we will have a good quarterback next season. That defense though…
A good QB, maybe. But the odds of having another QB on Rogers' level are very, very low.

Everything that Rogers has stated indicates that he is planning on returning.
In fairness, if he needs another semester to graduate, he can't indicate otherwise yet.
I sure hope he's back.

Did you ever leave a company for a job in the same industry that paid more and offered you a better opportunity? I have, appreciate the year he gave us, and wish him nothing but the best in the future.
A couple of years ago, I never would have dreamed of "liking" a post like this. But since the current system has transitioned college football players (or at least many college football players) from student-athletes into paid employees, how can you blame any of them for going where there is more money? Especially since most of them will never play in the NFL--now's the chance to make money with their talents.
I hate, hate, hate the system, but I can't blame guys in their late teens and early 20's for jumping at the money they're being offered.

Are we still on the hook for the remainder of his contract?
Pretty sure this was the last year of his contract.

That’s not how contracts work
1 hour ago, greenminer said:Some can. They can have language that allows for re-assignment rather than termination. And, with said reassignment, a new pay-rate.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but I've never heard of that. Do you have a comparable example in college football?

Who paid the SL buyout, the school or boosters? Honest question. We're getting more TV money and a $1.6 million buyout could be coming off the books. There should be money to buyout the DC. If there's not, that contract shouldn't have been given.
Please understand, paying coaches' buyouts are not part of the annual budget. I can't tell you specifically how the A.D. came up with the money, but donor money was certainly involved.
And I am sure the A.D. has already figured the new T.V. money into the budget and what they're planning to do with it, and I doubt very much if any of that has been allocated to buying out coaches.
It certainly seems to me that a 2-year contract for an unproven coordinator (as opposed to, say, a Phil Bennet or John Skladany) is risky. Apparently, Morris thought the risk was worth it and Mosely to some extent signed off on it, so they will have to bear some level of responsibility for it. But if he can figure out a way to win games next year even if we have a crappy defense, his seat will remain cool in 2025.

With SL's final year at $1.6 million coming off the books in January, why doesn't the school have the money?
At the rate the A.D. has been able to gather the necessary funds for the AC building upgrade (or for any of our other planned athletics upgrades, for that matter), what makes you think the school does have the money?
