2025 College Football Thread: “maybe we can hire Jimbo back” FSU fan depressingly mutters to himself (51 Viewers)

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Whoa - Penn State out for the season.

 

[Capella]

Cignetti must be the best coach in college football.

I mean when you think about THAT job, it has to be one of the most impressive coaching jobs in cfb history right? What he’s done there in a few years is insane. This is Indiana football.

 

[mr. furley]

Whoa - Drew Aller out for the season.

a big improvement at QB as a result

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

USC came to play. Typical Michigan start. I'm expecting this is gonna be a good one.

Different sport but he reminds me of John Calapari at UMass...not personality but what he is doing.

I don't think he would have been able to build the program pre-transfrr portal

Nope...but that doesn't matter anymore...totally different landscape now.

Only time I can ever remember cheering the Trojans (want them to win to be a decent win for ND when we play them)

Personality-wise he reminds me of a lower-key Bobby Knight

 

[timschochet]

Always very impressed with Jordan Maiava.

And another great example of why Belichick is the most over rated coach in history. Transfer portal means you can turn a college program around on a dime (both figuratively and literally). A good coach (and staff) along with money to spend and you have a relevant program.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Short

The landscape now is awesome. Wide open

BB at UNC has zero to so with what he did for 20 years with 6 titles and 9 AFC titles...I think he is a joke right now because of his personal life but he is right there with the best coaches ever and it is not debatable.

Yup...he is an old-school HC...in 2025 you would expect a different personality but he is kicking butt.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Huge!

 

[bigbottom]

Huge!

If the USC offense keeps playing like this, those are the kind of plays that will make the difference.

When they fired Tom Allen after the '23 season, it was the same year that JMU started 10-0 and was getting some buzz as a possible G5 playoff team. Cignetti was they guy I hoped they'd go after, but I didn't expect them to do it.

 

[bigbottom]

I guess the officials aren’t supposed to know the rules.

Yes it is. Without a GOAT player on his team, he has ranged from terrible to average at best. The best coaches in history coach teams- not ride the coat tails of the GOAT LB and then the GOAT QB.

Not buying it one bit...Brady is the GOAT but he wasn't the GOAT in the first three titles...BB was obviously a far better HC because of Brady but the NFL is not an individual sport...if it was Shula would have had 6 more titles with Marino...but he didn't.

 

[bigbottom]

Ugh, USC needs to score a whole lot more than this if they are going to have a chance to win this. Not looking great.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Oh man, i don't like hearing about Haynes and ribs

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

That's what i want to see with Underwood

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

That wasn't bad either

 

[bigbottom]

Looks like we have a game!

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Lemon is a great receiver

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Big score going into the half. Nice

 

[bigbottom]

Man, Auburn getting screwed. Again.

 

[hagmania]

Oof Penn State. I mean James Franklin is kinda like giving the program the death penalty, right?

Was a great coach for Vandy besides the whole covering up for sexual assault thing.

 

[hagmania]

Which, you know, should probably be a red flag.

 

[bigbottom]

Trojans down two RBS now (with their third string also injured for most of the season). Now relying on walk-on King Miller for the balance it appears.

 

[AAABatteries]

My god the refs are ****ing Auburn

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Not an ideal way to start the half

 

[bigbottom]

My god the refs are ****ing Auburn

Maybe they’ll get another apology from the league. :shakeshead:

I’m only halfway paying attention to this as the Cubs lose to Milwaukee, but agreed.

 

[bigbottom]

What a terrible sequence of plays.

 

[bigbottom]

What a terrible sequence of plays.

Well, that was better! Give that kid a scholarship!!

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

KING!

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Michigan better figure out the passing game of they're gonna keep up

 

[Instinctive]

Venables should go. He's a phenomenal DC and a garbage HC.

Turnovers killed them, plus that punt return.

Mateer was...pretty not great today

To be fair the punt return was entirely sprung by a brutal block in the back that was somehow uncalled.

And it wouldn't have mattered.

 

[Capella]

Man what a jersey game in LA tonight. Whew.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

WTF is Maiava doing?

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Better make something of that mistake

 

[bigbottom]

Huge mistake by Maiava. That’s the kind of stuff he did last year. Thought he’d shaken off the horrible decision-making.

 

[bigbottom]

Wow, Underwood looking amazing this drive.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Wow, Underwood looking amazing this drive.

Nice jinx haha

 

[bigbottom]

Wow, Underwood looking amazing this drive.

Nice jinx haha

I didn’t mean to!!!

 

[AAABatteries]

Hugh Freeze must have slept with every refs wife

 

[Corporation]

My god the refs are ****ing Auburn

I just turned the game on, all my AU friends on Facebook have said this is one of the worst officiated games they've seen. Was coming to ask from a less biased perspective.
