OFFICIAL 2021 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD

[ThaxbyChamblis]

ThaxbyChamblis is it lying season yet?

Most definitely. We are in the 2nd quarter of #LyingSZN

Also RE: Duffy I'm surprised he pushed his commitment fate back but if he's truly still undecided then good on him for delaying it until he is sure (or at least as sure as a 17 year old kid can be about anything).

The coaches know more than I do but I would be concerned about landing 2 West/ West Coast QB's in the same class should Duffy decide on FSU (which I don't think he will). I think they're always a risk to bolt and head back closer to home esp at a position like QB where only one can play at a given time. Though it may be mitigated a bit by the fact that the other QB from out west is actually from Colorado not Az where he currently lives, I'll still be a bit concerned.

I’m not huge into HS knowledge, what do those bigger name gigs pay?

I mean base salary not all the side money from being a sleaze ball

It Pays to Coach Texas High School Football. Like, Really Pays

It's no secret that NFL coaches make a ton of money to lead a group of professionals in the most popular sports league in the United States. It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that some college football coaches make enough money that they could become the governor of an entire...

Westlake and Lake Travis head coaching gigs are both north of $150k a year - and they're the only people on campus that don't have to teach classes.

I would guess Chad will top that at Allen.

Based on resources? Because in terms of talent, Aquinas is probably it IMO.

Resources. The structure of that school district. If their level of talent year in and out isn't the best in the country, it's in the Top 5 - they're loaded every year and they consistently have the highest level of football participation in the state. The kinda kid you're dealing with there is generally insanely low-maintenance.

They did just announce Morris, too. Wanted to be close to his kids at North Texas and TCU. Good for him. Good for Jimbo down at A&M, too.

After all the chokes he had with Cincy, of course he’d finally make the run with THAT team.

They ain't played nobody

 

[dacomeup]

So? He blew a double digit lead to a Nevada team with a clear path to the F4 in his last run at Cincy. Nobody cares about the path just the end result.

I was actually expecting more to be honest.

Bosco more than the top Texas HS coach. By a healthy margin too.

 

[casper90403]

I had to google Liv Cowherd. Had no idea....

Bosco is a private parochial school. Those are tax funded public schools. Those numbers are what the board publicly declares, and doesn’t include the side nonsense.

 

[casper90403]

what are the top private schools in Texas for football? Is that even a thing?

 

[Bobby Layne]

They have to play in their own divisions down there which I think keeps them from overtaking the public schools, like what happens in most states.

Dallas Jesuit and Strake Jesuit are the only ones who got grandfathered in to the UIL.

 

[Bobby Layne]

So is Lincoln going to stop trying to block Chad’s kid from going to TCU, or is he going to give up trying to recruit from Allen ever again?

 

[nako xl]

So is Lincoln going to stop trying to block Chad’s kid from going to TCU, or is he going to give up trying to recruit from Allen ever again?

He's taking a weird stance of "in-conference transfers should be prohibited." Considering he got Baker from Texas Tech and, though different, absolutely raided the Tennessee fire sale... it's an odd hill to want to die on.

 

[N41D]

what are the top private schools in Texas for football? Is that even a thing?

They don’t exist.

Private school athletics in Texas aren’t really a thing.

Houston Episcopal and John Paul II in Dallas are about it.

Like Bobby said - Jesuit is big but they only matter in baseball. All the rich football kids in Dallas go to Highland Park or buy a mailbox in Allen.

So is Lincoln going to stop trying to block Chad’s kid from going to TCU, or is he going to give up trying to recruit from Allen ever again?

Won’t matter. Aggie Chad knows the deal.

ESPN was having a debate on air over why all of the athletes this year are running faster than past years.

It's what spurred his thread. He's a football analytics guy.

dacomeup Something that was pointed out to me today that relates to your question about why I complained so much about Larry Scott's nonsensical leadership:

Spoiler: Larry Scott is dumb

Pac 12 in football:

Stanford - 4-2 - North Division wins leader
Washington - 3-1 - North Division regular season champion
Oregon - 3-2 - given championship game bid despite Stanford's availability and won Conference

(USC - 5-0 - forced to prepare for both UW and UO concurrently despite also having only 53 eligible players for the game due to covid)

Pac 12 in basketball:

USC - 25-8 (15-5 in conference) - conference win leader - beat Oregon -72-58 when they played in season
Colorado - 23-9 (14-6 in conference) - Split regular season 1-1 with Oregon
UCLA - 22-9 (13-6 in conference) - games against Oregon canceled due to a referee and players on the Oregon team testing positive for covid
Oregon - 21-7 (14-4 in conference) - Conference champion
