San Jose Bills Fan

And Whaley's primary duties both in Pittsburgh and in Buffalo has been Pro Scouting.

Okay. This silliness has gone on long enough. Cinci at Houston, Houston -4.5 Minnesota at Green Bay, Green Bay -7.5 Indy at Baltimore, Baltimore -7 Seattle at Washington, Seattle -3 Now we can have a real discussion.

And look at the language he prepared: "I'm not a one-and-done guy" O’Brien said. “I made a commitment to these players at Penn State and that’s what I am going to do. I’m not gonna cut and run after one year, that’s for sure.” So he'll "cut and run" after two years? Just once I'd like someone to be truthful and eloquent in their honesty. Would anyone have attacked Obama if he simply said "I was a college student. It was the sixties. Many if not most of my peers were experimenting with drugs. I took a drag of a marijuana cigarette. I'm not proud of it but it's the truth. Please don't judge me by that." But instead he said "I didn't inhale." Lie. If you want to actually teach these college kids, how about being truthful?

Ralph is cheap! Sorry. That was a reflex reaction. What were we talking about?

I'm gonna have to pun(t) on that one. You win the golden egg award.

That's permissible because you were a kid and it's not a bad song. Lots of guys went through the teeny bopper, bubble gum phase. The guilty pleasure comes in when you're old enough to know better not to eat that much sugar but you do anyways.

If there was such a thing as female robots, I'd be a very popular guy.

Shall we take up a collection for a billboard?

Don't put words in my bill!

You guys ain't getting me to fess up.

I drive a 2003 Honda Element so I know well the feeling of driving a babe magnet.

Same here. However I didn't suffer projectile diarrhea. Honestly, we SCARF those biscuits!

I'm glad you said that. Because I've been quite worried about you. You seem like you haven't been eating well lately. Mrags, you asked for it:

Well said. I couldn't agree more, Punch. I guess those kids are getting a real education.

I know Kelly but he had 18 years experience as a college assistant before becoming a college head coach.

I was surprised it didn't happen sooner.

And O'Brien has the audacity, the gall, to try to spin it as if it's not about the money. I'd forgive him if he spared us the rhetoric and the propaganda. The lies. We know it's about the money. Don't insult our intelligence with some ridiculous public comments. Even your players don't believe you.

Yes Harbaugh was a player. And what a player. "Captain Comeback." I've nearly memorized Harbaugh's Curriculum Vitae after trying to drive the point home that Chip Kelly is not a comparable to Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh played 15 years in the NFL. He was a 4-year letterman at Michigan. An All-American. As for Kelly all I know is that he did not play college football and that he never spent any time in the NFL as a player, as an assistant, as a waterboy. The only other NFL coach that I'm aware who didn't play college football is current Steelers OC Tod(d) Haley. The only NFL head coaches I'm aware that had zero NFL experience before being hired into the NFL are Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, names brought to our attention by other posters.

Here's what I was looking for fellas: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/teamrank/2013/all/all It sorts by year too. 2013: Oregon 42nd, K-State 57th… 2012: Oregon 16th, K-State 58th 2011: Oregon 9th, K-State 68th 2010: Oregon 13th, K-State 63rd More than likely, this proves my observation that Oregon was the much more talented team. 2009: Oregon 32nd, K-State 92nd

Good stuff stranger.

The one thing I will say is that Pete Carroll seems to have done a great job in Seattle along with GM John Schneider. I have a theory that one advantage that the college-to-NFL coaches have is a greater sense of college talent. Harbaugh's also done a great job in his short time in SF.

I guess I was hoping to hear from someone who follows recruiting, reads Rivals, etc. It seems like Oregon has more talented players than K-State. But a lot of times, those kind of perceptions are subjective.

Perhaps someone who follows college recruiting can help me out here but it seems like Oregon has much better athletes than K-State.

Yeah the spin is really insulting.
