College Football 2016 Thread

I was reading a list of the Top 25 most interesting college football coaches this morning and I was surprised at just how deep/talented the college coaching ranks are.

Good old Les Miles has to be top 3 on that list.

And they can't wait to fire him

Herman... Harbaugh... and I forget.

Interesting doesn't mean good.

I waffled so badly on Miles. His overall record speaks for itself. But he's had I think a 4 year run of completely mediocrity in the SEC with I'd say the 2nd best set of talent. 4 years is a long time to be that meh with top shelf talent.

In the end, I liked the idea of not firing just yet, let's give it 1 more season to see how it shakes out.

Most LSU fans, and probably many fans in general, just always assume the grass is greener. You just always think you'll get the next best coach and forget about all the top programs that lose guys then stink it up for a while going through a couple of bad hires.

Herman... Harbaugh... and I forget.

Neither are as "interesting" as Les Miles, I actually think he's #1 by a longshot in that regards.

He's wayyyyyyy out there.

...Grobe.

Checked my browsing history for it.

Miles is 10. It's Yahoo, so take it with a grain of salt.

Jim Grobe?

I think it's intriguing in terms of how they'll do. I actually took it literally, Miles is all kinds of interesting and just downright strange, and it has nothing to do with football.

I think Les is elite and they would be crazy to let him go. You have had 2nd or 3rd best talent (Georgia) but it's so tough when QBs don't work out and that seems to be the case. If you guys go 10-2 but lose to Bama and don't get to Atlanta they will want to fire him but that's a really good year.

[shel311]

True, but we've basically had 1 season with a reliable QB since 2008, and that was Mettenberger's final season at LSU. You can't get a free pass for that after 8 or 9 years.

Run out and pay $30 for a Chromecast...then download the WatchESPN app on your phone and cast it to the chromecast hooked to your tv.

I'd assume all Smart TVs have WatchESPN, right?

[Cnasty]

Samsungs do if they are somewhat newer

Definitely not. Netflix, Pandora and YouTube seem to be pretty common. I'd put WatchESPN on that next tier that is <50%.

There is almost no reason to deal with bad user interfaces on any SmartTV (or any Smart Blu-Ray player for that matter). Chromecast solves everything and is so cheap.

I assume you can sub out "CFB" and sub in "NFL" for NFL streams? I got addicted to Redzone last season when it was free, but I certainly won't be paying for it this season, looking for alternatives.

Yes.

I use the XBOX1 for RedZone and its fantastic.
