Tomlin is not leaving the Steelers to coach college.  He addressed it at his latest presser.

LMFAO. 

Only an idiot would believe Tomlin would ever leave the NFL for college.

Agreed.  In the transfer portal has only made it worse. I don't think any coach who can leave for the NFL, or stay in the NFL, will elect not to. Recruiting and booster ass kissing are tough enough, when you don't have to also rerecruit all of your own players

It looks like several upper tier teams are going to be looking, and looking at a thin market of possibles.




Who knows, they might swing and miss, But it certainly seems like whoever LSU lands on will just open up another power five job

Did the Jaguars count as a power of five job?

Yup.

Oregon just lost 5* true frosh OL Kingsley Suamataia- who just entered the portal because he was pissed off he wasn't starting as a true freshman over a senior at left tackle.

This portal thing sucks.

The Portal and NIL are the end of the game. Enjoy the last years, fellers.

I don't mind NIL. Players ought to be able to trade on THEIR name, image, and likeness if the schools aren't going to pay them diddly squat. And don't give me the whole "free education!" crap- most of these guys are in bs classes earning degrees that are literally useless in the real world- and that's if they even stick around long enough to earn their degrees. And the amount of money they generate for their schools FAR EXCEEDS their dorm room costs and tuition that is being paid for by their scholarships. Especially if they are an elite player like a Charles Woodson or Tim Tebow. Michigan still making money off Woodson and he hasn't played there in over 20 years. Florida still making money off Tebow and he hasn't played there in 10+ years. The athletic departments at the helmet schools make HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from football players. Michigan football is raking in $125 million a year in revenue every single year. That means every 4 years a player is there he is helping generate more than HALF A BILLION dollars in revenue. These guys are entitled to WAY more than the few scraps they get.

My problem is the portal. Makes it impossible to keep a team together- have to re-recruit your own players and try to keep 18 year old prima donnas with egos the size of the state of Texas happy just because they aren't starting as true freshman.

I'd rather there be an NFL minor league. Save the 'ships for kids who want to play the game, and want to be engineers.

I think there is one, no?  UGA plays in it.

Let's be honest- in the P5- how many of them are actually going to school to be engineers/doctors/lawyers - probably like 10%? If that. 

Most the kids on the allotted 85 scholarship are in bs classes earning useless degrees all hoping to be in the NFL one day. Most won't make it to the NFL- but a good chunk will- and they all think they will.

Basically you'd be pushing the quality of the level of play for P5 teams, down to FCS status at best.

I've watched some FCS football and I wouldn't personally find that very compelling.  Maybe some people would.

I'd also have no real reason to follow any minor league professional football.  I barely follow the NFL as it is. 

So if something like this ever happened, it would effectively end my football fandom.  Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I think a fair number of scholarship players are going for a decent degree, I don't know how many on a P5.  Some of the starters and stars obviously are trying to remain eligible taking only token classes, perhaps most of them.  They used to show the intended majors for players routinely, you'd see "Consumer Economics" a lot, now they don't I notice, unless the player is majoring in something real.

Some of the lesser players with scholarships, or without, probably are striving for some sort of degree.  And some come from a difficult background and end up with a degree, even if it's in CE or whatever.

This is a false dichotomy... but you knew that. :)
