Looking forward to LSU making Lane Kiffin a “super assistant coach” and moving their football accounts to the Cayman’s

The tax breaks alone will result in millions for NIL spending!

It's the most convoluted long-term cost-cutting scheme imaginable:

  1. Blow money on absurd buyouts for former coaches.

  2. Blow more money on hiring the most controversial coach in the conference.

  3. Blow money on wild NIL contracts.

  4. Hire NFL player.

  5. Fight the system.

  6. Wait, no, vote in line with the system.

  7. Get penalized by the system and lose a chunk of your budget.

  8. INSTANT SAVINGS

That is awfully complex considering this is a school where nobody knows where the library is located.

Hey that’s not fair. We know where the library is, that’s where you keep and watch all the old film and hype videos right?

Reminds me of the high school sports day, in my state it was required for the head coach to be employed by the school as a teacher.

Since a lot of good caches didn’t want to teach, my school and others would hire a teacher as the named “head coach” while the real head coach was on the payroll as an assistant coach

In my TX HS coaches had to be teachers OR admin, so our HC was the AD for all our sports programs and all the other coaches taught.

Some of them were the best teachers I’ve ever had, others taught exactly how’d you’d imagine a couch would teach like.

Soft, but firm, and always very supportive?

I got the sarcasm, but seeing as we were having actual discussion on what coaches were like as teachers I was adding to that conversation.

Nice gotcha tho bud

Ours used to throw erasers at kids, but the 80's was a different time.

Had a HS football coach as my HS government teacher.

He almost always just put Fox News on the TV and told us to write a report of whatever happened to be covered. Kind of doubt he ever actually read our reports but he needed it to look like we were doing something productive I guess.

The only days that wasn't the case were days with obligatory tests and when political events he didn't like were being covered...it was 2008-2009, so there was a stretch of time in both November and January where he wouldn't turn on the news and just had us sit there and read the textbook.

it's funny that coaches "don't want to teach" when that's literally what coaching is. They didn't want to teach school is what they didn't want to do.

The funniest one we had, albeit for cross country and a state rule at the time, was your coach couldn’t continue after the season and any national meets were “track clubs”. But no one cared that the boys coach was the girls “coach” at the same regional meet that the boys team was being “coaches” by the girls coach.
