NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Deion's shtick can work with college kids, let's see him do that the guys in the pros.

Me thinks it will not go over as well.

It’s far from a given he is going to be successful in college either. Im rooting for him though.

It's rare for any college coach to translate to the pros (Urban Meyer anyone?)

And just as rare for a big time player to be a big time coach.

He is off to a hell of a start

Yep, in almost every case when great players try to coach they fail. Closest to a success was perhaps Larry Bird for a bit, and Mike Ditka sort of.

Steve Spurrier, Lane Kiffin, Greg Schiano, Matt Rhule, etc.

Kliff Kingsbury is about to be fired this coming season if he doesn't pull off a miracle.

Nick Saban too

Only one I can think of that worked was Jimmy Johnson

Speaking of, Barry Switzer piggy backed on that one lol

He's actually the "Senior Offensive Analyst" on USC's coaching staff.

Pete Carroll?

He was fired a couple of times in the NFL before being successful at USC, then successful in his return to the NFL.

Ooh, fancy

I know OU was playing Ark St but they are D1 and have had some success as a program. Can’t read much into it but I will say that every kid on that field knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing for 60 minutes. Get ready for a qb change at some point. Dillon Gabriel played great today but Jackson Arnold is the next great QB at OU. Plays a lot like Josh Allen and has that size. I’m expecting a very good season this year, last year in the Big12.

Ooh, fancy

Speaking of fancy, looks like Grinch, quit trying to be fancy and simplified his scheme.

The defense, except for the first drive, has looked much better so far.

It's Nevada who's a G5, so we'll see what happens when they play a P5.

But it's similar level G5 as last week. They're reacting faster and playing with more discipline.

B1G not being on ESPN/ABC will take some getting used to

Took me forever to located the Penn state game

Not happy. I have over 63.5. Nevada’s QB is a fucking mongoloid.
