It's a crappy situation but at this point it's survivable, nobody got hurt and what the process going forward will be will be rough but there is a possibility his marriage survives but if not nobody got physically hurt beyond repair.
He messed up but hey I'm not going to throw stones at him, I've made mistakes multiple times before.
It's going to be massive financial hit and I doubt he coaches again but again this situation is survivable with realistic expectations
Maybe he can coach a haphazardly assembled dodgeball team to the American Dodgeball Association... of America championship. It's a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off for him.

Makes you wonder why the SEC has a better reputation. Better reputation for what? Who are these randos tweeting. The SEC has a reputation for having stupid students.
That might be the dumbest college football argument Ive ever seen tweeted.
Bama beat 4 ranked teams, Including a top 3 team and a team still ranked 14. ND beat 2 teams that were ranked in the 20s and are no longer ranked and had a very weak schedule.
ND also lost to the two real teams they played including one game at home to A%M.
The idea that the SEC championship game should kick you out of a 12 team playoff is just insane
Lets stop beating this dead horse with dumber and dumber arguments
@Basebal21, you need to be careful about who you call out about this BS because you’ve been an active participant all season. The solution is NO POLLS and then all the arguments vanish. The end result of no Polls is that teams like this years version of Alabama aren’t in the Playoff and Notre Dame is forced to join a Conference.
Then we get to focus on talking about football.

@Basebal21, you have been a consistent proponent of having the best teams in the playoffs. I agree with that thought.
Where we separate: right now I don’t believe there’s a good argument that can be made which says Alabama is playing better than Notre Dame. What you constantly engage in is an argument to justify the decision to include Alabama via Strength of Schedule.
What I honestly believe happened is that the CFP committee caved in to SEC pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having Alabama left out as the “bubble team” for the second year in a row.
Rationalize it however you can, it is clear that Alabama is not one of the 12 best teams in the NCAA.

Basebal refuses to accept reality by not taking off the sec goggles. Even the sec people stated ND is better than Alabama. Its a fact not an opinion that Bama has not looked like a playoff team in many weeks. ND would be favored if the two teams played, and I think ND would probably beat them as bad as Georgia just did or worse.
He keeps saying over and over ''ND didnt beat any ranked teams.''.....The guy is either on drugs, or didnt take time to look at the latest rankings...or refuses to accept reality.
