College Football 2014

Malhazn was a OC for 3 teams before becoming a HC for Ark State.. how is this even remotely similar?

Archie Griffin is doing a AMA on Reddit so I asked how much pussy he got the night he won the Heisman. Hopefully he replies

[Cnasty]

AMAs are amazing with the right celeb.

SEC like Malzahn did straight from HS.

... Man, that's a strettttttttttch

No it it's not. Malzahn went to Arkansas and got to coach SEC talent right away. He had help and resources. This guy is as UNLV. Huge difference and IMO a stupid move on the guys part. The HS he was coaching at has better facilities and a better stadium than what UNLV has.

Man, you'd be an extraordinary politician.

[Uuaww]

ok , i have no idea who Malzahn is but judging by the conversation here either packsyd or trendon/nick is lying.

hes comparing a guy who became a OC for Arkansas, to a guy becoming a HC. He started off comparing apples to oranges. I have no fight in this cause I couldn't care less about either coach, just saying theyre different entrances into the NCAA.

As usual nick completely misses any point someone is trying to make. I am saying going from a HS program with serious job security/good pay/top national program is a little silly to go coach at a school like UNLV, where as a guy like Malzahn left a HS program to go coach in the SEC.

what?

UNLV hired a high school coach.

That didn't work out to well for Tulsa. This time around.

see Bill Blankenship - Blankenship served as the coach of Tulsa's Union High School for 14 years until 2005. There he compiled an overall 154-26 record. During his tenure, Union won eight consecutive district championships, qualified for the playoffs fourteen times, reached the quarterfinals ten times, participated in the state Class 6A championship seven times, and won the state title in 2002, 2004, and 2005. Union also amassed an unbroken home winning streak of 56 straight wins between the years 1997 and 2005.[

Just read that he makes base 250k plus incentives to 500k that require media appearances. Also if he's canned he gets all of his base pay for the 4 years (job security).

He was making 250k min as a hs coach??

Well, first, I couldn't disagree more. I was just reading an article on Jerry Kill in Sports Illustrated where he debated going from the small college he was at to either going to Texas Christian with his buddy Patterson as the OC or take the Southern Illinois job. Apparently, he went to Franchione for advice and he told Kill to (not verbati) "take the head coaching job, you won't get another chance."

Now, I read in several spots that - and I don't think they were joking - that going from Gorman to Nevada-Las Vegas was actually a downgrade in facilities; which is nuts to think about. However, with this Fertitta Family that apparently loves Sanchez so much, the rumor is they will be donating money to the Rebels like they did to Gorman so that might be a wash.

Anyway, forget any details: no high school coaching job is better than working at the FBS level (I still fucking hate that term) and only a few are even better than the FCS schools. And, again, it is almost all about money. Sanchez succeeds at Las Vegas, he will do the Meyer/Kill/Malzahn thing and get a monstrous payday in five years from some Power 5 conference.

And, now as for what you said ... you directly compared Malzahn's path to Sanchez's in your initial post; which is what got Nick and I talking. The two situations are very different, even after you tossed in the part where you meant "SEC talent." So, that's what you might have meant to say, but it wasn't, so please don't think Nick and I don't understand.

If I were to guess I would say he makes between 150k-200k a year at the HS he coaches at. Bishop Gorman is no joke.

Here is an image of their weight room which looks onto their field. Their field is tiny, but remember HS ball in Nevada isn't super huge like Texas.

Braxton Miller to Louisiana State?

[The_Niddler]

I heard he was looking at Oregon.

Braxton Miller to Louisiana State?

Don't you f'ing toy with my emotions like that!!!

[shel311]

I go check an LSU message boards, one of the 1st replies to the B miller Thread, some dude saying:

"I don't think we need him. Just my opinion."

I weep for humanity.
