Well Monday Nebraska parted ways with four offensive coaches. And the head coach restructured his contract, taking a 25% pay cut ( about $1,000,000)

Texas Tech's assistant coach and S&C staff salary pool has been increased to 6.65mil a year, ranking #12 nationally among public schools
ETA: Places Texas Tech #3 in Big 12 behind OU and TU, will be #1 among reorganized Big 12 whenever that happens. |

Double Tap
Up from 3.8mil/yr is not an insignificant bump. Hoping McGuire can attract some highly talented coaches to come work with him. HS (TX in particular) recruiting has just lifted off with more grace than the Bezos dick rocket So this salary pool would put TTU at #1 in PAC, #2 in ACC behind Clemson, #6 in the SEC (jebus yall spend money), and #3 in B1G |

Quoted:Big 12 to SEC schools are 2 of 2 winning 10 games at least once in first 3 seasons. Bet the richest athletic department can figure it out at least once. Ed O won a natty 2 years ago, and he's a dumpster fire View Quote Mizzou was at a very high levels for their programs when they made the move, and TAMU had a one-hit wonder phenom. Gary Pinkel had Mizzou at 10+ wins three out of five years before the move. They made two 10+ win seasons after the move, fired Pinkel, and have gone nowhere since. A&M has had exactly one 10+ win season in the last 20+ years. A&M's glory days were under Slocum in the SWC, and they've done nothing noteworthy since except that one really good season one year. Texas is mediocre and has shown no signs of being anything else in the short term. Texas hasn't done anything good since Mack Brown was there, except one decent season with Herman. I'm not going to say Texas can't get it together. I've already said they have all the pieces of the puzzle, more than most other teams could ever dream of. But to have their resources, and be unable to field 10-win teams is a damn disgrace. Compare all that Texas has at their disposal, and only one 10-win season in the last 10 years. Wisconsin is successful financially, but not nearly to the level of Texas, and we have six 10+ win seasons in the same span. WTF is wrong with Texas? And they're going to move to a tougher conference? They lose two wins a season just by switching to the SEC, minimum. It's a move that just didn't make any sense. Continue aspiring to be top dog in a halfway decent conference, or accept that conference championships (and more) will be no more likely for UT than for my UW. No, scratch that. UW will have more success than Texas. |

They basically said screw that then that Craig James crap happened (totally false accusations) and Leach was fired. They still owe him a million bucks. That's why when the reports came out that Texas Tech was interested in him I laughed cause I'm sure he told them to go to hell. It took them 10+ years of sucking after Leach left to put money into hiring a coach. |

Leach coming back would be a pipe dream. Leach loves the fans but the admin did him wrong and everyone knows it. He got grief for interviewing for other jobs while at TTU which was the only way to get raises to get close to his 3rd place Big 12 finishes most seasons. Former Leach OL guy is now a billion Regent, he used his financial success to get a voice that can't be muted. |

Texas boosters are building a NIL network to buy players, get ready they have more money than anyone else. I still expect them to underperform |

Pat Forde was absolutely brutal on Nebraska this week with the news about their shakeup.
Maybe Frost wasn't ready to coach a high-profile program. Like A&M, he had a rock-star QB at UCF. Other than that, what does he have to brag on? Nothing. It's a shame in a way, you want a guy going home for his dream job to succeed (unless he's an ass). Nebraska was always going to be a hard project, and still will be. Martinez just didn't have the stuff that Mackenzie Milton had, and a program needs more than a rock star to be successful. They have fan support, they have that B1G money, but they need recruiting and major player development. Maybe that's what Frost is missing. If Frost doesn't make a bowl game next year and gets canned, he's going to have a hard time getting hired anywhere. What's his next move? OC at another mid-tier program like Pitt? He's young enough he can give himself a career reset. |

Quoted: Nebraska must have signed a dumb dumb contract with Frost View Quote The original contract wasn't bad, but then AD Bill Moos after two losing seasons signed a 2 year extension. It was a horribly one sided contract and it is nice to see new AD Trev Alberts get that fixed somewhat. The thing is, Scott Frost is putting his money where his mouth his. It will be interesting to see if he gets things figured out for the rest of this season and next season with new coaching hires, offensive philosophy, etc. Thank God Trev Alberts is the A.D. at Nebraska. |

That's insanity. Has any other coach gotten an extension after 2 losing seasons? Nebraska lost its Texas recruiting pipeline, hard to break into the B1G traditional recruiting grounds it seems |

Frost did what he needed to do as far as the coaches. We will see if it ups his game or not. I would like to see some personnel changes on field as well.

Slimebaum is a UT graduate, btw. I'm surprised hes a college graduate at all He’s clever. Sports media figured out pissing people off sells as well as anything else. I’m not a fan of bullshit.

Quoted: 8-1 UH still unranked in the CFP rankings. ranked #17 in both AP and Coaches there are (5) 3 loss teams in the CFP ranking. unjustifiable in my mind, homer or not. View Quote On the surface that seems unfair. But the questions that need to be answered are: Could Houston beat any of them? Would Houston be 8-1 if they played those teams schedules? Take Cincinnati for instance. They’re a damn good team but would they be undefeated if they had played Michigan’s schedule so far? A&Ms? Any of those other Top 10 teams? Highly unlikely. Not saying it’s fair. It’s something that needs to be addressed when you have a sport where you are ranking 130 teams by committee and not preset criteria. The real solution is to have a big enough playoff that if you win your conference you qualify. As long as we have rankings by committee deciding that, we will have controversy. |
