NCAA Football Coaching Carousel - Page 205 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Kevin Plank appears to be trying as hard as he can to emulate Phil Knight with every decision he makes. On one side of the coin you can't blame the guy, on the other side of the coin $4B compared to $24B is kind of a big difference.

I mean it is, but in terms of their ability to impact a program is it?

Maryland has a much more fertile (albeit more competitive) recruiting ground than Oregon, there's no real reason they can't do it.

i'd say yes, 4B vs 24B is a big difference in regards to impacting a program considering that worth isn't exactly liquid, and the other part of the equation that's probably worth mentioning is Plank is 43 and Phil is 77.

Maryland never recovered from losing Bear Bryant in 1946.

Damn, the ACC was like the East Coast MAC, a cradle of coaches.

He's quietly been at UTSA since 2009.

Coker did reasonably well here for awhile, but he's 1-5 so far this year. Scheduling a lot of teams way out of UTSA's depth.

John Harbaugh is supposedly on USC's shortlist. Along with Chip Kelly. Yeh, don't see either of them leaving. Kinda hope I'm wrong though. Two harbaughs in college football would be awesome. #2 Chip back would be cool too

Previously Oregon? Why am I thinking Oregon players couldn't be tested, like it was described as a recruiting advantage? Could it be a Washington rule?

Yeah I've lived in Portland a lot.

I know there's never been anything where employers couldn't test. I don't think schools or NCAA couldn't test at any point. Could be different I guess, but I've never heard anything like that and pretty sure I've read the opposite.

Oregon had one of their better WRs suspended before the title game last year for a positive test.

Vince McMahon once said he couldn't do a show in Portland because of the state's drug testing policy. I thought that meant they tested too much.

probably worth noting this was an NCAA thing and not an Oregon thing. There have been a few articles in the past couple of years that describe the amounts of pot use among football players (and the campus population in general).
