I say it again today
Replying to @CrimsonCoverage
#1 if Deboer was fired then he'd immediately be first in line for every job opening. He's in demand bc he is a top 10 coach. #2 His record against Kirby, Sark, Lanning is unbelievably good. #3 Give him time to get his type of players. You can't expect a coach with an entirely different system to be winning national championships with players that don't fit his system.

An AI researcher has successfully reprogrammed the brain of a fruit fly to be the FSU football coach. Unfortunately he wants a $70M buyout to take the job and is demanding Nick Saban as his defensive coordinator. Boosters are trying to make it happen.

Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.

Maybe going undefeated through the Big Ten regular season wasn't as impressive as we were led to believe.
