I will definitely be keeping track of them now. Leech being the coach there has got to be exciting for the WSU faithful.

Are there any fat little girlfriends in Pullman? Or are they all too jittery on Starbucks to be fat?
The speculation around coaches is crazy. Glad this is the first time I've seen PSU go through it. Apparently interviews are set up with Mullen, Bradley, Tim Murphy and David Shaw with the job as Shaw's to lose. :dunno:
I wouldn't want to be the coach to follow in Paterno's footsteps, especially if any kind of sanctions come down or anything like that. I could see Mullen going, just because where he's at, he's coaching for a low tier team in a top-heavy division & conference. At least at Penn State, he'd have all of the resources he wants.
Plus it would make the OSU/PSU game really interesting. See how Meyer does without his QB coach that he had for all of his success.Quote:

Rumor mill says Mike Sherman out at Texas A&M, but he has yet to be notified. Merry Christmas, Mike!
Even more juicy rumors: Mack Brown to retire after Baylor game on Saturday.
Any validity to that? I saw that rumor earlier, but some were saying that it originated from a Kansas radio station.Quote:

The Carousel is definitely spinning tonight!
Speaking of Saban, I have heard his name mentioned for PSU too, but not by any credible sources
So it looks as though there may be a little bite to this rumor:Quote:

Seems as though Chris Peterson may have been inline as Mack's successor all along, which makes a lot of sense being that the two staffs have been really close for a few years now. I just hope in all of this we are able to keep a hold of Manny Diaz. Chris Peterson, Bryan Harsin and Manny Diaz would pretty much trump any coaching staff in the nation.
:DQuote:

I think I would stick with my staff. Look up Big 12 Championships, count em up. Look at all the BCS games and BCS title games we made it to. They might not win the big one but they are consistently solid. Better to get there than end up in the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl.Quote:

Diaz is a good coach but last I checked he gave up over 450 yards to the Sooners in that little game we play yearly.
Looks like there will be a press conference Monday to announce Carl Pelini as the new FAU head coach.
Yes because the greatness of a coach is just a snapshot in the moment of time. You can speak of all the awesomeness the OU staff has done over the years but when talking about the Texas staff you look to this year, way to compare apples to apples.Quote:

With all those top 5 recruiting classes at Texas, I have a hard time letting you get away with saying Harsin is working with inferior talent. Boise beat us once, that is fact. Should that make him a great O-Coordinator? He beat up on a bunch of WAC teams over the years too. Big difference with a 10 win season against Big 12 teams versus 10 win season in the WAC.Quote:

Some guy with Archie Manning's (Leading our coaching search) old phone number said he got a text saying Hey Archie, I would really love the be in consideration for the Ole Miss job. Hugh Freeze.
It's on the Commercial Appeals website. The way I see it is this though...
1. Smart
2. Fedora
3. Freeze
After the game tonight, Freeze sounded like he was already starting to say his good-byes. He didn't say anything specifically but you could hear it in his voice. I can't imagine he goes anywhere except Ole Miss but depending on how that shakes out, it's going to get really ugly at Arkansas State. Freeze landed in our lap and I can't imagine there's a slam-dunk hire out there that our AD is currently thinking of.
That really sucks G. I felt the same way with Rodriguez and then him just up and leaving us. We got an offensive mastermind and then were stuck with absolute trash afterwards and it sucked and we are a much higher profile football team than Arkansas State. I can only imagine how much that's gonna suck for a team like Arkansas State trying to recover from such a great coach.
Arkansas State coach Hugh Freeze will meet with Ole Miss officials Sunday and is expected to receive and accept an offer to become the Rebels' new head football coach, sources told RebelGrove.com Saturday.
Link
Freeze is torn... he really likes Jonesboro, his wife really likes Jonesboro, his family is tired of moving, he's made solid connections here and can be a rockstar at this school. But when your dream job is offered, it's hard to turn down, even if in the back of your mind you know you're going into a losing situation.
Latest suggestions are that Fedora is gone (somewhere) and that Freeze would take USM before he'd take Ole Miss.
We should know something regarding Ole Miss tonight. USM might be a different story.
Supposedly a team meeting has been scheduled for 7:15am tomorrow... consider Freeze gone.
Well it looks lIke freeze is gonna be our man. Most of the fanbase is not happy considering we now find out Smart was never contacted. G what's your opinion of Freeze? I hope Dave Womack isn't his dc.
Freeze is an offensive mind, much like Malzahn. He's very much a motivator and took largely the same team that thought they couldn't win more than 6 games and took them to 10 wins in a single season. Not sure why you wouldn't want Wommack... he took our weakness (defense) and turned it into our strength in a single season (as well with largely the same players).Quote:

Sounds like Steve Fairchild is out at Colorado State, Pat Hill at Fresno State.
Seriously? Fresno State has two bad seasons the entire past 10 years, going 4-8 in 2006 and 4-9 this year, and winning 8 or 9 games every other year but one, and they toss Pat Hill out? Man, fuck them in that case.Quote:

Man, I know it was a rough season, but that is some bull if they can him. Fresno has been nearly a constant 8 or 9 win team under Pat Hill since 2001 or so, and only had two years since 2001 where Fresno State hasn't won at least 6 games, and only three where they haven't won at least 8 or 9 games. If they can him for going 4-9 this year, there is so much bullshit in that call/move by Fresno.Quote:

Pat Hill has been fired.
kevin sumlin is no longer a candidate for the ucla job.

good
I don't think they did, not that I know of. But granted they had to deal with Boise State every year until this season. Still a horrible call in my opinion after well Fresno State has done in the last decade.Quote:
