FACTORS - Have the Miami Hurricanes Returned to Glory?

Image
     Mark Richt has been a big name coach in college football for almost two decades now. After head coaching the Georgia Bulldogs for 15 seasons between 2001 and 2015, Richt was fired after a season of letdown from very high expectations and shortly thereafter hired by the University of Miami to be their next football coach. Richt took over a mess of a program, stumbling through decades of mediocrity, all the while trying to return to the glory days of the late 1980's and early 1990's.      Richt is now 16-4 as the head coach of Miami, and the Hurricanes are on a 12 game winning streak stretching back into last regular season, starting this season at 7-0. Going into this week, Miami has a chance to prove that they are for real, with a homecoming victory over Virginia Tech on November 4th.      A 7-0 start, filled with magical victories and last second scores to win, has everyone wondering if the Hurricanes are returning to their glory...

College Playoff Commitee's Top 25 Rankings 11 15 2016

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, what?!?! After a weekend of utter chaos, where the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ranked teams all took losses to teams that they shouldn't have, and the analysts all reported a shakeup in the top 4, we got... Musical Chairs? Well, almost. The latest top 25 rankings were a little bit disappointing for Louisville fans and anyone who wants to call the Big 12 or Pac 12 dominant, but there were quite some interesting revelations. FINAL 4 #1. Alabama Crimson Tide VS #4 Clemson Tigers With all of the close games Clemson has played to teams they should have destroyed (Ahem, North Carolina State, Pittsburgh, TROY), I don't understand why Louisville can't be ranked ahead of Clemson. If you watch the Louisville/Clemson game, you will see a lot of iffy calls, rough cheap play from Clemson and a few other interesting things and, oh yes... That will be upcoming soon in an article. In otherwords, Clemson is 9-1, just lost to a Pittsburgh team who can't play defense, Watso...

LSU's Head Coaching Carousel

LSU fired Head Coach Les Miles along with Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron after a close and difficult loss to Auburn in week 4. Defensive Line coach Ed Orgeron became the successor to the role and has since led LSU to a 4-1 record, their single loss being to #1 Alabama, a game that was hotly contested and scoreless until the 4th quarter. Now reports are circulating that an angry and upset Florida State Head Coach Jimbo Fisher, not Ed Orgeron, is the leading candidate for a head coaching vacancy where a well loved assistant, affectionately named "Coach O" by players and fans alike, is keeping LSU in the top 25. The anonymous reports also believe that LSU's Athletic Director, Joe Alleva, wants to hire Fisher, who will need a $5M buyout to get him from his contract at Florida State. Jimbo Fisher is a highly respected name in the college football industry. After serving on Nick Saban's 2003 National Title LSU team as the offensive Coordinator, Fisher jumped around a l...
