Colorado has offered its head football coaching job to Jon Embree, according to legendary coach Bill McCartney, who himself was a candidate.
McCartney said that Embree, currently the Washington Redskins tight ends coach, has been given a formal offer, and CU is hoping he accepts and then hires former Buff great Eric Bieniemy as his offensive coordinator.
McCartney was a candidate to replace Dan Hawkins but said his plan all along, had he been named coach, was to hire Embree and Bieniemy on his staff and groom one of them to take over as head coach in two or three years. When it became clear he would not get the head coaching position, McCartney said he pushed for Embree or Bieniemy to get the job.

Seeing numerous reports that Greg Davis is out as Texas offensive coordinator. It's only a shock it took this long to happen.
Some are suggesting that Freeze will be naming John Thompson as his DC. If so, that will be a great addition to his staff, especially since Thompson has D1 experience as a head coach. As well, he's from this area so he'll be a great addition on that front as well.
How much of the current staff is he keeping? Any ideas yet?Originally Posted by gschwendt
Sounds like he's only keeping a couple of position assistants. Hearing that he'll name his WR coach as the OC but Freeze will still be the actual one to call the plays for at least the first couple of years. Aside from that, he'll be keeping the RB coach. He's still going to interview the others so that may change but that's all he's committed to so far. The one guy I'd like to see him keep is our DB coach... not because he's a great DB coach but because he's also our Recruiting Coordinator and has done a great job on that front.
After the Josh Grobin garbage by Rich Rod at their year end banquet, this embarrassment can't be fired soon enough. What a joke.
It's the same shit that he did at WVU at a time as well.
ESPN reporting that Oklahoma's Kevin Wilson, Wisconsin's Dave Doeren have met with Indiana.
Gopher Illustrated has Northern Illinois' Jerry Kill going to Minnesota.
Other than being in a great conference in the Big 10, Minnesota has to be one of the hardest jobs out there. They have a new stadium that has brought a crazy idea that the school should compete for the Big 10 title. I think their expectations are way too high. They shouldn't have fired Mason in the first place. Going to a bowl game every year should be cause for celebration. Anything beyond 6 or 7 wins should be considered a great year. They stink and their recruiting base is possibly the worst in all of America. As far as I know the Minnesota area has virtually no talent.
MN does have very little talent. They need to hit Chicago hard to base their recruiting and then expand from there.
From FanNation:
Miami will look to speak with some coaching candidates at a football function Monday in New York. More than a half dozen remain in the mix, including Mississippi State's Dan Mullen and Connecticut's Randy Edsall. UM is considering interviewing Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville and will try to gauge interest of Stanford's Jim Harbaugh and perhaps Nebraska's Bo Pelini. Jon Gruden suggested UM consider ex-Vikings coach Brad Childress.
Edsall is, perhaps, the only one of those that a job at Miami would be any kind of upgrade. Mullen's debatable, and Pelini and Harbaugh are assured to be considered a step down.

Sources are telling KFOR that OU Offensive Coordinator Kevin Wilson is leaving the team to be the next head coach at Indiana.
And ESPN Insider is, at least teasing in a headline, suggesting that Mangino could be the OC at OU. (Wha?)

His old job. Makes some sense, but still surprising. Must think he needs to rebuilt his image.
Let's let Watson take the job at Vandy to offer Mangino the OC opening at Nebraska
He resigned. http://www.fanhouse.com/news/main/lo...season/1444499
