Dorm food at West Quad...  I had the "Freshman 15" in reverse...  survived 2nd semester on a combination of Cup of Noodles and Campbell chicken noodle soups.

As the father of a girl, I think each Baylor football player who has had their names published in the team roster during the Art Briles era should be chemically castrated.

Anyone can whisper in Moe and DJ's ears...  Some would even do it for free until the deadline.

Actually, Tom and Gisele

Actually, Tom and Gisele should endow Greg Harden's position.  Without Harden, Brady would be selling insurance.

RR still has a job at the U

RR still has a job at the U of A because Greg Byrne, the AD who hired him, left before last season ended.  It took U of A until March to find a replacement, who happens to be Dave Heeke from CMU.  Unless Heeke pulls a page out of the Illinois playbook and hire Mike Debord in August, RR has one more year to prove himself.

However, assistants and recruits are well aware of RR's lack of security.  They would not have had to turn to Donovan Tate if their recruiting didn't crash.

Grew up in Saginaw, surrounded by sparties.  Became an ND fan just to be different from everyone else.  Couldn't afford ND out of HS and chose UM over MSU for the academics.  The best decision I have ever made.

PJ Fleck got some 3 star prospects to commit to WMU over schollys from lower tier Big 10 schools.  Some of them may become late blooming gems.  Jordan Kovacs, the Glasgow brothers, and Kenny Allen were all PWOs.

Mark Coyle, Minnesota's AD,

Mark Coyle, Minnesota's AD, is a true believer of the wide-open video-game-style passing game.  He hired Bryan Harsin at Boise and Dino Babers at Syracuse.  His main complaint against Tracy Claeys was the manball cro magnon offense impacting Minny's attendance.  Les Miles at Minnesota will be awkward, like "Mitt Romney working for PresidentTrump" level of awkward.

Perhaps Tua is flying to

Perhaps Tua is flying to Oakland en route home to Hawaii.  He probably needs a weekend to thaw and relax before entering Sabanville.

Top 2 Choices

1. USC - 2018 in AA; 2019 in LA.  We would love a game for the WC alums like me.  SC would like the East Coast exposure for Sam Darnold's junior year ahead of his Heisman run.

2. Miami (YTM) - 2018 in AA, 2019 in Mia.  Miami has 1 non-conf opponent scheduled for 2018, and plenty of flexibility.  The Bushes (Devin, Devin Jr, Gwen) get a game in front of their families and friends on 2019.

Too bad the schedules for Cal and Stanford will not work out.  Would love to be able to sell Najee on a game in front of his family.

Urban talked to Chip Kelly,

Urban talked to Chip Kelly, but Kelly wants to sit out and be a consultant.  Kelly then recommended Ryan Day.

Kevin Wilson may be an "analyst" of some sort, similar to how Bama stashed Steve Sarkisian after his alcoholic meltdown at SC.

Rosen + Autonomy

Unlike Harbaugh, Mora Jr is a Defensive Specialist who gives his OC almost total control of the offense.  Josh Rosen + a NFL-ready playbook = magic.  Plus, recruiting trips don't involve overnight stays in LA, and if Rosen likes Fisch, he may bring Fisch with him to his first NFL gig, similar to what Andrew Luck did with Pep Hamilton, his OC at Stanford.

In Harbaugh we trust

...  and Coach Miles, thank you for your undying love for Michigan.

Here is the real question...

Here is the real question...  Is Notre Dame still at Top 10 program?  Some would argue that both Coach Kelly and the Notre Dame program are overrated, and therefore, perfect for each other.

The 2nd part of the question...  Will a top 10 coach come to ND?

Tom Herman will not go to

Tom Herman will not go to LSU.  Houston has a good potential of sustaining their success and Herman is paid well enough to stay there until Texas calls.  Texas will outbid LSU anyday.

Realistically, LSU should look at the following candidates.

  • Rich Rodriguez
  • Sonny Dykes
  • Ed Orgeron

Jimbo Fisher may want to take a look at the job, but I doubt he would leave with his family issues.

Why would LSU offer someone

Why would LSU offer someone who

  • Is 61 years old with documented heart problems
  • Has never coached in the SEC West
  • Has never recruited a player out of Louisiana
  • Has never beaten Bama
  • Has two daughters enrolling at the school he is coaching at

Joe Alleva is signaling to his constituents that he will leave no stone unturned.  Dantonio's agent is trying to get a conversation with Joe Alleva to pitch one of his clients.  Mork is lending his name to satisfy both fronts.

Manuel had to deal with the end of Jim Calhoun's tenure, when they were sanctioned for low APR scores.  His handling of transition from Calhoun to Kevin Ollie should be used as a case study.  I would suggest that Manuel is probably more prepared than most to take the baton from Hackett.

I wonder how Manuel would handle Red's transition.

At least Harbaugh isn't

At least Harbaugh isn't killing student managers during practice...

While the timing is not ideal, Swenson will be fine.  

This is the reason why no

This is the reason why no high school player should be offered a scholarship or be allowed to commit to a school until he completes winter of their junior year.  A lot happens in 2/3 years, both with the recruit and with the school.

In addition, if a kid requires significant development, can the school steer them to a higher profile HS/Prep program where they can receive the coaching necessary?  The military academies steer lots of committed recruits into their Prep School programs.

Michigan Difference

Harbaugh only forces guys to transfer out after they earn their degrees.

SEC doesn't award degrees to their football players.

Stop

If the 49ers weren't a trainwreck, 

1. Jim Harbaugh would still be in SF.

2. The Lions would still be the most ridiculous trainwreck in the NFL.

3. Ron Jeremy would still be in porn.

GO NINERS!  GO JED!

Wayne Fontes, Marty Mornhinweg, and Jim Schwartz would love to have another opportunity!

With a new QB starting next

With a new QB starting next year, the Oregon 1st string offense needs to build confidence during practice, and Hoke's defenses will definitely provide that.

As for in-game coaching, Oregon plans to station Hoke in the press box, and Hoke will not wear a headset.

GO JED!!!

This spoiled brat sent Jim Harbaugh home though.  Jed York is the greatest!

Jed would be on the list of immortals forever if he can do the following.

1. Hire Urban Meyer / Mork D'Antoni / Brian Kelly to 49ers.

2. Convince OSU / MSU / Notre Dame to hire Tomsula as their replacement.

Jed rocks.  He will always be my favorite, even if his team never wins another game!
