Whoever hires him is going to have the best Year 1 honeymoon with their fan base.
Asked Coach Eck about this moment today and he made sure to give everyone a quick physics lesson as well 🤣 @Coach_CBooth @Coach_Eck

You know it hurts him in his heart
The SEC Championship has a rich history and an iconic venue, but playoff expansion has ended it. Kirby Smart reacts:

College football as we know is no more. Conference championships go out the window next season as the CFP expansion begins. I asked Wake Forest's Jake Dickert about the change today. "To not say we're going to have conference champions, why do we have conferences?"

You think the “Fire Everyone” culture in college football is bad now? Just wait for next year. The unintended consequence of the 24-team playoff will be punishing for those who don’t get in. Column for @yahoosports sports.yahoo.com/college-foo…

This is a “When you’re explaining, you’re losing” answer.
"Some of the worst 'officials' in America are those in the announce booth." "I am highly disappointed in the announcers." Greg Sankey vehemently defends the SEC's officiating and details planned improvements:

Bloody Monday on the Flats
Brent Key and Georgia Tech football making staff changes. Defensive coordinator Jason Semore, o-line coach Allen Mogridge, d-ends coach Kyle Pope and wide receivers coach Jafar Williams have been dismissed, I've confirmed via a source. @PeteThamel reported it first.

Followed up and asked Mike Elko if he has long-term confidence in OC Holmon Wiggins: "That's not for now. That's a stupid question, Carter."

This has been a season of parity but yesterday most of the big matchups were pretty one-sided. Why? I wonder if attrition is starting to show up. Been hearing a lot from within programs about how they feel like they have no depth, injuries, fatigue piling up.

Tech has been in a couple times and will be again I’m sure. Hang in there. Brutal season no doubt.
Dan, I’m where is Georgia Tech. I’m miserable

I bet it will happen more than ever after we go to 24
Coaches rarely get fired for performance after 1 season, but it feels like there are multiple candidates this season.

West Virginia has lost games this year scoring 42 and 48 points. Not great!

Lane Kiffin on the big picture, whether 6-3 reflects how good he thought LSU was going to be: "No, I did not think that but it is where we are. And, you know, can’t change that. We’ve got to go back to work no time to sit around and feel bad."

I know the committee drives people crazy but maybe they had Bama pegged correctly?
Alabama is playing so well tonight that the committee may retroactively award the Tide with last season's national title.

LSU took the lead and then Bama just came back and put foot on neck. It’s just about over here in Baton Rouge. A Lane first-year face plant.

Things are going to be spicy in Columbus, Ohio. This isn’t just about a QB injury.

DeBoer is just so good in these kinds of games. It’s crazy.

And the response was immediate. A potential classic taking shape in Baton Rouge
LSU has dragged Alabama’s defense up and down the field all day but didn’t take the lead until 2:44 left in the third quarter. Big, big moment coming up for Bama or this could turn into an avalanche.
