Mack is just plain raiding the names out there.
Manny Diaz, Bo Davis, and now Harsin.....
Well, when practically every assistant spot comes open at a school like Texas ... they will come ...

I guess it's filled. :D
I had a link to Texas' site for the DC job; as per normal with public jobs they have to be listed and as usual with job 'requirements', the candidate doesn't always meet them to the letter of the law. For example, the Texas DC job 'required' extensive NFL experience as I recall it.
It barely took an hour, but a "report" (who knows) that Miles is headed to Michigan and LSU is already in talks with former DC Bo Pelini.
Miles told his team after the Cotton Bowl that he's staying at LSU. I know he has a special place in his heart for Michigan but they burned him three years ago and he's 57 now. I heard his wife loves where she is and Miles seems to have won over the fanbase again this year.
Jason Whitlock loves Brady Hoke. I love him a little more after his article: http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefoot...verines-010711 .
I only believe anything a coach says so much at this point. How many "I am staying here", then leave within a week have we heard over the years?Quote:

Whitlock is a Ball State alum, so take anything he writes about Hoke with a grain of salt. I love Hoke as a Michigan candidate, but Whitlock just makes me :smh:Quote:

As he should have, Miles addressed the rumors with his players. However, there appears to be a slight discrepency as to how the conversation was intended to be taken, and how the players actually took it.
For his part, Miles seemed to leave the door slightly ajar if Michigan were to express interest.
“I told them that I had not had any conversations with Michigan to this point and, if I did, I would communicate with them very effectively,” Miles said according to Terrance Harris of AOL Fanhouse.
Now there are reports that Les will meet with UM soon.
SDSU insiders are perplexed why Hoke isn't pursued by more suitors. Think he has done a fantastic job.Quote:

Which is solely a short-term reason to make a decision, and doesn't matter worth crap in the long run. The recruits got shaky as soon as RichRod got the "we're waiting until the end of the season" line.Quote:

LSU works to keep Miles....
If he goes to UM, the dominoes that fall could be pretty surprising.

Pitt hires Tulsa's Todd Graham
He's third coach in month after Dave Wannstedt, Mike Haywood
FREE PRESS NEWS SERVICES
PITTSBURGH -- Todd Graham agreed Monday to leave Tulsa and become Pitt's third football coach in a month, a move designed to quickly bring stability to a program rocked by former coach Mike Haywood's arrest last month.
Quantcast
Graham had a 36-17 record in four seasons at Tulsa, including 10-3 this season that included a 28-27 upset at Notre Dame -- where Pitt lost under coach Dave Wannstedt. Wannstedt was forced to resign last month following a 7-5 regular season and repeated failures to win an outright Big East Conference title.
Graham, 46, made $1.3 million at Tulsa, about $300,000 more than Wannstedt was paid from 2005 until this season, but is expected to be paid about $2 million per season at Pitt. Graham's salary is believed to be one reason he was bypassed during Pitt's initial search, but the school subsequently decided to pay more.
Haywood, fired Jan. 1 following his arrest on a domestic violence charge, was hired in mid-December, but the image of Haywood posing for an Indiana police mug shot became a national embarrassment for the university.
Fight Hunger Bowl: Rishard Matthews caught a touchdown pass and returned a punt for another score, and No. 13 Nevada beat Boston College, 20-13, on Sunday night in San Francisco. Colin Kaepernick threw for 192 yards and a touchdown for the Wolf Pack (13-1), which tied a school record for wins in a season set when the school played in what used to be Division I-AA. The Eagles finished 7-6.

Report: Les Miles to remain at LSU
Baton Rouge radio host Jordy Hultberg announced that Les will remain at LSU with a re-negotiated contract. Hultberg said that he spoke directly with Miles, who is now heading to Dallas to speak at a coaches convention. It is unclear if Miles will get an increase in pay, but TD.com sources had indicated last month that both Miles and LSU saw the need to re-word portions of the contract that pertained to rollover and buyout.
As for Michigan, it is assumed that former Michigan assistant and current San Diego State coach Brady Hoke is now the front-runner to replace Rich Rodriguez. It is unclear if Miles was offered the job at all.

Say hi to Brady Hoke, UM's new coach:

Hello Brady! Now go kick OSU's ass!!
So, over/under on how many years before Hoke gets the can and Michigan starts another coaching search?

Crowton heading to Maryland?
by Chicken on Jan 12, 2011 at 7:32 am Comments (3)
Reports are circulating that Gary Crowton is interviewing for the OC position at Maryland. This would be in line with TD.com sources who say that Les Miles is looking to hire a new OC at LSU. The time is right for a change at OC for LSU. While no one will dispute the credit Crowton gets for the offense's success in his first season at LSU (2007), the offense has greatly underperformed in the last two seasons.
Among the candidates being mentioned to replace Crowton (if he leaves) is Steve Kragthorpe, former head coach at Louisville. Kragthorpe, who was out of coaching this past season, is also being mentioned as a candidate for the head coach opening at UConn.
UM will fire Hoke if/when Harbaugh struggles and gets on the hot seat in San Fran. I hate to say it as I like Hoke, but I just get the feel he is a transitional coach for Michigan.
I loved Hoke's press conference. I'm pretty happy right now. When he was asked if the Michigan job isn't considered elite any more he challenged the reporter, "Who says that? Who?" And when the guy said some ESPN personalities or something Hoke responded that they can say what they want and followed it with, "It is an elite job and will remain an elite job. It's Michigan for God's sake!"
Not anytime soon. I think Hoke is as good a fit for Michigan as Tressel was/is for Ohio State. Hoke may not reach the levels that Tressel's tenure has (obviously I hope he doesn't), but he's a good fit for Michigan. Rich Rod wasn't, and that, in my opinion, is the primary reason he was run out of town. Hoke knows what Michigan means, and he'll turn them around.Quote:

That's a pretty solid hire for UM at DC. RichRod should have done that a year or two ago. :P
I'm really happy with the hire. The coaching staff looks pretty good. Furthermore I think the recruiting class will be salvaged. They lost a few guys but it appears some California kids may now come to Michigan after Hoke tried recruiting them out West.

Rumors of Mike Leach considering the OC job at Oklahoma State.
The ONLY way I could see him doing that would be to stick it to TTU... that or just needs the money.Quote:

Doesn't change the fact that Michigan has only had four 5* kids since 2008 and none have made a big impact. Saw a report that Alabama has 15 four or five star recruits committed this year. Insane.
Names coming out of the woodwork in fact; they are hitting a lot of areas.
