Happy Birthday and thanks for the Stromboli!

Bannable thread offense. GTFO of here with this garbage.

The school also doesnt have a President right now, which is why the Governor and Board are so involved. So now these guys need to hire a President, Athletic Director, and Head Coach. Chances they get it all right?

Yo, this ***** is getting WILD with the Governor and his smack talking and now this But I cant comment further without pushing this thread towards PPP LOL

Hitting the market as a UFA in 2026, $15M would have been his bottom floor.

Nah, I've lived it recently down here in Atlanta with UGA Football. The first Natty was such a pressure relief valve, it made the next season so easy. No one was on edge to go back to back, even though it was nice and welcomed. By the time anyone was talking about trheepeat, no one really cared anymore, or were just too exhausted to care. And even now a few years later, with the ups and downs, theyre still coasting on fumes of contentment from those championships. Your comparison is way off. Dallas, Yankees, and Lakers fans got too used to winning championships over and over. They are miserable because championships are expected. For fans of teams who have been trying for decades to just win one, one victory is all it takes. But thanks for trying to personally analyze me when we've never even posted together, let alone met in real life. Maybe just speak for yourself from now on.

Nah

Cody Ford and Boogie Basham still exist. Even at his current disappointing level, we've at least gotten a couple of TDs out of Keon. More than we ever got out of those other 2. And I'd argue we passed up on much better players with those other 2.

Bro, Bills win 1 Super Bowl and I may never watch football again. The mountain will be topped. Build McD a statue for all I care. Go 4-13 the next 3 years for all I care. I can finally go back and watch 4 Falls of Buffalo, watch highlights from the 13 seconds game... A SB win puts closure on 40 years of fandom for me.

Chiefs 27 Bills 20 No idea what version of the Bills we'll get but I hope they prove my prediction wrong.

I think that's such a grey, subjective area that just the threat of being publicly called out on morality clauses and the damage it could do to finding his next job is enough to get almost anyone to agree to taking a lesser amount. With all the stories pouring out about what a jerk he was/is on a daily basis, it's probably all those little paper cuts. LSU could make any of those into a big deal and drag it out in the media to get out of paying, or Kelly could just take $27M (still a good amount of money) and walk away clean. Or theres a big bombshell waiting to drop that we'll find out in time. Wouldnt put it past Kelly, but I think if there was anything really real there, they'd use it to get out of the contract completely. And it's not like he has so many friends that theyd protect him from the story already getting out. But who knows.

You definitely do. Kid is a freak. Should have been the #1 pick but the Jags Jagged it up.

Serious question, did you mistake this for the Sabres board? Because yes, he's a bit meddling over there, but when it comes to the Bills he pretty much just signs the checks when asked.

Oh, for sure. Where we've inked big contracts to the likes of Rousseau, Benford, Bernard, Shakir, Spencer Brown, and James Cook... The Lions have: Aidan Hutchinson: Signed through 2030 Penei Sewell: Signed through 2029 Jameson Williams: Signed through 2029 Kerby Joseph: Signed through 2029 Amon-Ra St. Brown: Signed through 2028 Alim McNeill: Signed through 2028 And their pipeline of upcoming Gibbs, LaPorta, Jack Campbell, Terrion Arnold, Brian Branch is better than who we have coming due. But I'll also add there are a few years of them picking in the top 10, one year at #2 overall. We've only been in the top 10 once, in 2019, picking 9th. And have been in the late-20s/30s ever since. Bills Lions 2019 9th 8th 2020 22nd 3rd 2021 30th 7th 2022 25th 2nd 2023 25th 12th They've had access to a completely different class of players than the Bills could ever sniff in the draft.

Haha, yeah, I saw a Lions fan comment "Those idiots missed out on a full year's worth of clicks and headlines! -Jerry Jones"

They're basically just a year behind us. They're in the exact same situation as us next year.

Looking at 2026, the Lions are all the way down at 27th in cap space. Right above the Bills at 28. Except our 2026 number has 46 active players, and theirs is across only 38 active players. So they're about to be in the ***** as well.

Lower total than Parsons, higher guaranteed. And allows Hutchinson to hit FA again at 29, before he turns 30. Good deal for the team, good deal for the player. It's an extension and doesnt even start until the 2027 season, which by then will look cheap. Take notes, Jerry!

Interesting he beat out Taylor this week. Especially for a guy who doesnt play 3rd downs.

"Other" I hate that we dont have the staff that can out-coach them when it matters most.

What Shane Beamer says Lane Kiffin does to make SEC coaches group text 'entertaining and lively' https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/sports/college/usc/2025/10/28/shane-beamer-lane-kiffin-south-carolina-ole-miss/86881789007/ COLUMBIA — Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin is pretty active in the SEC head coaches group chat, according to South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer. "He's just very, very real," Beamer said of Kiffin. "He definitely keeps the SEC head coaches group text that we're in entertaining and lively with stuff that he may send on there, tweets that he has seen, or whatever it might be."... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, I would easily pay $50/month for a subscription to read this group text. Secondly, I wonder who is in it and who is excluded? Kiffin, Beamer, and Kirby Smart for sure. Probably Sark too. Maybe Heupel. 50/50 on Stoops, Venables, Lea, and DeBoer. I imagine guys like Brian Kelly and Hugh Freeze were never invited.

I dont think its a secret that at any SEC school, if the Governor is calling meetings to have you canned, no AD in the world can stop it. And that's the way of life down here. I dont think it will turn any candidate off from the opportunity. They all know what they're signing up for and it's still worth it.

McDaniel lost all his juice after the 2024 rule change that outlawed his trick pre-snap motion. They havent been the same since, and he has nothing left to replace it. Would be a garbage hire at OC, especially with our personnel.

Well, he knows Josh is tight at least.
