Wow Tulsa blatant PI no call. Game changing no call. Defender running with full hand of jersey.
OK St WR needed to stop there and force the PI
Tulsa lucky to not get an unsportsmanlike there for taunting. Defender did it right up in the WR face.
Light yourself and the couch on fire....
Cleanse this evil....
Do. It! gif
I am more shocked by Iowa scoring 21 points
If Tulsa stops trying to help them back in the game
Gundy and Napier have to be the top of the hot seat stack now.

Gundy is getting fired right?
Ryan day hasn't beaten his main rival in over a 1000 days. He has only driven a Ferrari, can he win with a yugo?
Dabo Swinney record post NIL is way below before. His coaching tree has a winning % of like 30%. He also seems like an asshole.
Saban won't let boosters run the program. So if you want more than winning you don't want him
certainly all of the anyones who don't get a regular diet of UF
That's essentially the same job Jeff King does for the Bears. Not proposing either for the job but can't hurt to have them on a selection committee IF the school is hiring a GM.
Talk about throwing random names out. SI has an article up putting DeAngelo Hall in the hat. Sorry, but no. I loved DHall on the field and while he has made his way into the NFL coaching ranks, it's another name that's never been a head coach and not even a defensive coordinator.
And yet after the nonsurprise question and the nonsurprise answer, all anyone remembers is the "lol mullen cant recruit 🤣🤣🤣 he said they'll DO RECRUITING after the year 🤣🤣"
Forgot to add Cignetti and Leipold to my Tier 1 list but I think we are tracking on the same front. My only remote issue is potential buyout with those two aforementioned. It has been reported that Campbell has a very low buyout at Iowa State, and Mullen has a buyout technically, but the school has come right out and said they honestly don't have the cash flow to pay his contract moving forward. So I think that could be significantly negotiated. But that's a good range of candidates there with those four.
We should go all out for Mullen, Cignetti, and Leipold. But of all the other choices (not including Shane, I would like him but we don't need to go all out for him) I'd be hopeful with Chesney. All the other options - G5 coaches, P4 coordinators, P4 coaches making a move ie Satterfield, or Fitzgerald - I would be hesitant and just wait until I saw winning.
The larger context was that he'd been getting beaten up for weeks in the local press/talk shows re: recruiting. The question wasn't a surprise, nor was the answer.
Florida's leadership wasn't happy with the recruiting but they extended his contract and upped his salary less than 6 months before he was fired. Recruiting wasn't the final straw, imo.
And there was already this narrative of him getting outrecruited by Kirby
For me, I can't do somebody who is currently out of coaching. They will have limited knowledge on the current class/landscape, and no transfers to bring with them for next year. That's just going to be a no for me.
And no more projects. Chesney is mostly a potential hire - very little evidence to suggest that he has or can be successful winning at a P4 program.
My criteria is basically Dan Mullen, Matt Campbell as 1A 1B. You'd have to really convince me to hire someone who doesn't have significant P4 wins on their resume recently, and can bring in people for next year.

Listening to the TSL Podcast yesterday - the interview with David Teal, I found his take on two candidates very interesting.
1. Pat Fitzgerald. I think he checks a lot of boxes for us and really out punted his coverage at NW. Tough, hard nosed guy who gets the most out of his players. Loves defense and always had a disciplined team. If he ended up as the Hokie HC (not even suggesting he's on the radar), I wouldn't hate it. The significant downside is that he's been out of the game for a minute and this is a vastly different era than the one he coached in. Could he adjust? IDK. I'm not saying I'd be over the moon excited, but I wouldn't hate it.
2. Bob Chesney. Teal mentioned that he's won everywhere he's been (we know this). He has a cohesive staff that has, in large part, been with him. I love the way he runs his practices and manages his team. I wasn't sure why until I heard that he is a student of the NFL model - i.e. how to manage a staff, team, and practices. He is in tune with how all those things work, which would give him some advantages of embracing, or leading, an NFL model of running a program. I do think we need to be swinging for a guy like Mullen IMO (for all the reasons mentioned above), but if we swing and miss on a couple guys, this would be a "lower level" coach I wouldn't hate.
Well done. This is a very high quality joke that works on multiple levels.
what's derek dooley up to these days?
Oof that Ok St QB doing his best Drones imitation on that 4th down to basically end the game. Skipped the pass to a guy with no defender within 10 yards
