I think he's comfortable there and probably realizes he wouldn't have gotten the kind of inflated pay he's receiving now, at another school.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Holy hell
ESPN reported 10 years, 95m, same as Tucker at MSU but LSU also included incentives in Kelly's contract.
What’s driving this? The transfer portal? Interesting nobody is bringing up tampering.
Its an inflation contagion. Once word spread about Tucker's deal at MSU, subsequent bigger programs were forced to up their offers, which resulted in ridiculous money being thrown around. USC's deal with Riley apparently involves a free $6m home and unlimited family access to a corporate jet. Kelly's deal is allegedly in the $15m/yr range (Saban only makes $9.75m), and the likes of Notre Dame are now going to have to cough up more to get their guy. Miami is about to offer Mario Cristobal this weekend and that offer has allegedly had to been raised from the previous 6m to now some where in the 9m range.
I guess between NIL and gambling being normalized which inflates the value of NFL franchises even more, the money is flowing even more than usual.

Tennessee 165-121 58%
Michigan 3 conference championships with a chance for 4 this weekend
Tennessee 0 conference championships 3 division championships
Michigan 7 BCS equivalent bowls plus another this year
Tennessee 1 BCS equivalent bowl

Michigan has been markedly better, even in the worst stretch since Bump Elliot

Most definitely. Even if you bump the year up to 2007, when Tennessee last hit double digit wins, it's massively lopsided.
Tennessee since 2007
5-7, 7-6, 6-7, 5-7, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6, 9-4, 9-4, 4-8, 5-7, 8-5, 3-7, 7-5
Michigan since 2007
3-9, 5-7, 7-6, 11-2, 8-5, 7-6, 5-7, 10-3, 10-3, 8-5, 10-3, 9-4, 2-4*, 11-1

Why the feck can’t I watch the big ten championship in the UK?
All championship games except for that one are on BT Sports!

You can watch at my house. Having a few people over. Bring nachos.
Nachos are amateur hour; soggy nachos are a chore to eat. I’m bringing wings.
Then someone is doing it very very wrong.
Everyone does it wrong, in my experience.
Never made a soggy nacho plate.
The key is to bake in layers with the protein going on last. Also, all wet toppings (guac, pico, etc.) are on the side in bowls and are to be added to your individual plate like a proper civilized human.

Freeman seems to be the popular pick

I was low-key hoping for this guy to be the surprise pick for OU.
Not college football, but this is quality from the coach. Surprised my basketball coach never thought of this…

Hearing some weird, wild stuff on the OU job. Dabo Sweeney for the head gig instead of Venables…or Matt Rhule…I kind of believe Joe C our AD when he says you wouldn’t believe the people reaching out to him, but still.
One name that isn’t part of the OU family that keeps coming up is Lanning, the DC from Georgia.

If it's Dabo I think @Carolina Red may ban you out of spite rage.
OU’s QB situation might be attractive to Dabo, especially after this season.
Yeah it would suck, but I'd honestly rather them get Dabo than Venables though.
US Congress are now looking into these ridiculous college head coach contracts
Sen. Richard Blumenthal: College football coaches' mega-contracts getting attention of Congress (msn.com)
wow really?
I wanted Fickell but this lad really impressed me this season. Good on ND, the players seem to love the guy too which is always good.
Notre Dame officially names Marcus Freeman head coach - Inside the Irish | NBC Sports

He's trying to level the playing ground for UConn
good pointAbsolutely. Venables is a top 5 DC. Dabo is a motivator. We can find another motivator much easier than we can find another top 5 DC.
See ya!
Miami wouldnt get Dabo. Arent they after Cristobal?
Only job I could see Dabo leaving Clemson for is Bama. Or am I missing something? @Carolina Red
Cristobal’s stock is getting lower by the week
Gotta disagree. Dabo is a program builder. One of the few in college football that guarantees immediate success.
He's checked out, as is his OC who is becoming a head coach elsewhere. They also have a terrible, brainless dual threat QB.
I’m telling you, PAC-12 is ripe for the taking. Convinced Riley is gonna get SC the PAC-12 championship next season.
Yes, I think we'll see a pretty swift swing towards USC next year. Everyone else will struggle against a Riley coached team.
