Kirk Herbstriet deserves to be unemployed. He obviously knows it’s the American and there’s no reason to call it the Athletic besides being an *******. Then he tweets out clearly false, and extremely harmful “news” about the former OSU coach. What a *******

He’s getting Twitter and Facebook responses and viewers to his shows so I’d say he’s doing his job for ESPN

THEY DO, but may be in middle of negotiations right now, and not want to prod the beast.

But also we should separate the talking heads from the people behind the scenes with the real power. I would imagine the executives at ESPN like our conference a lot more, especially since they've gotten way more than their money's worth over the last few years. And they're the ones who decide where the shows are filmed.

I caught the Paul Finebaum show yesterday and Herbstreit was on discussing the game and UCF in context of being in the top 4. He gave a lot of props to UCF's Offense. Said it was legit, reminded him of that Playoff squad in Baylor. It's kryptonite is a defensive line like AL, ND, etc where one-on-one comes into play. He said the Defense is where UCF is trying to take the next step up.
