I'm guessing it wouldn't apply to the cover charge

Speaking of firing coaches, Coach Smart is having to answer some questions, though he's not due to be fired (yet).  USCe of course is without an HC and Tennessee fans are grumbling loudly.  Vandy fans, both of them, are up in arms.

What is your over/under for P5 programs who fire their HC this year?

To note, name calling including profanity will result in posts being deleted so as to avoid a furtherance of same.

We often deviate from a topic, but if the discussion is reasonably cordial and on point, that's fine.

If a poster feels a need to call names and complain and add nothing else, it will be deleted.

I understand Cover Zero as explained, I just don't see how you can play Cover Zero Zone.

If your safeties are "in the box", the could play zone close to the line once the QB fades back to pass.  They aren't going to be able to help cover a streaking WR.  The could pick up a RB on a wheel route or a TE of course, but then they'd be playing man.
If they picked up a RB or TE entering their zone, they're still just playing zone.

My hobby is getting called names on here.  You must be deleting a lot of posts.

Right, when I'm the perp, I'm an asshole.  And when I'm the victim, I'm whining.  Got it.

Smart fascinates me. He was hired to to this particularly difficult thing, appeared to be doing it, starting doing a key prerec to doing it, and isn't doing it. He's a bit ahead of Richt in some ways, but he's actually expected to do what Richt couldn't. I wonder if he's only marginally better than his buddy Muschamp, who overachieved twice at USCe, disappointed but stayed above water in Year 3 (with some injuries) and then saw the bottom fall out with the talent he recruited. The bottom falling out at UGA might only be going 9-3/8-4, but they've fired folks for that. 

I think Kirby is doing what Muschamp was accused of throughout both stops, which was keeping the offense closer to the protecting the defense side of things. Muschamp I think expanded a bit outside that, but it failed for other reasons. 

UT fans should be grumbling. Vanderbilt is also profoundly bad. Vandy will come down to money. I can't see how Pruitt survives without a monster upset. He's gonna go 3-7 with wins against USCe, Mizzou and Vandy, and particularly bad vintages of each.

I don't (yet) think Smart is a great coach.  He's not a bad coach.  He has a wealth of talent and is in the "almost" category now.  He has made some curious calls.

One thing I don't read about in Athens now is players constantly getting into trouble.  At times it was rather trivial trouble, but it was a litany of troubles in the off season under Richt.

And of course folks will think him "very smart" if UGA wins an NC soon.  Sometimes that comes down to luck against another elite level team.
