MSU looking at one of the guys that we rejected in favor if Cig. Small world, eh?

I guess we’ll see but I’m really not feeling that one at all. He probably did about as well as you can realistically do at NW overall, but they were really bad his last couple of years. You bought Smith out for 30 mil to hire Pat Fitzgerald?

Kentucky felt left out and fired Stoops.  $37M buyout.

Nice to see that athletic dept waste some money.

So that makes, what, UK, UF, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and LSU, correct? Man, if you’d  said a month ago that the SEC was going to be replacing 1/3 of their HC’s and Shane Beamer wouldn’t be one of them that person would officially be an oracle right now.

1) Wonder if Haines to JMU

2) Holy cow am I glad Scott Dolson is our AD and not Pat Kraft. PSU fans are melting down, about as bad or worse, than we did when Woody came back for year 4. Lol

Haines would take a $1.2 million annual pay cut to be the head guy at JMU. I'm thinking that Haines will get a HC job that is more in line with legit salary expectations.

Ok, if anyone had the tiniest twinge of, “Oh Lane Kiffin can’t be THAT bad……”

HE LEFT HIS DOG IN OXFORD!!!!!!
He didn’t bother to take it with him. Not only that, the rumor is that the dog, which was kind of a team mascot and was on the field during games and even had his own Twitter was in fact not his and it was all just a ruse to make Kiffin appear more likable. Jesus Christ, are you kidding me.

I guess while at Ole Miss this was his attempt at the Herbstreit strategy.

And another thing backfires on Lane.  He is such a POS.

I wonder if any of the Ole Miss players will skip the playoffs and enter the portal 

Probably, because that is where we are now. I know drama is compelling to some, but this whole episode is just the worst. Obviously for Ole Miss, but all of college football really. This will no doubt become the new normal.

JMU had a pretty massive offer/roster commitment on the table for Bob. Money isn’t an issue there.

Oh.

Well, I'm guessing that whether it's JMU or somewhere else, this is Haines' last year with Cig before he becomes a HC.

Sure hoping he leaves IU with a National Championship. Wouldn't that be something.

Less than 24 hours after firing their coaches, they both hire someone?

Tennessee's Josh Heupel, on why he supposedly has no interest in Penn State. 

“I wouldn’t want low expectations,” Heupel said of PSU, via On3. “That’s part of why I want to be here. We’ll win big.”

[Jeff Flabjohns 3,030]

^The headline was extremely misleading: 

“Heupel understands the restlessness among fans, but said nobody’s expectations are higher than his or anybody else’s within the program. “I wouldn’t want low expectations. That’s part of why I want to be here,” Heupel told On3. “We’ll win big.”

Now that apparently Sitake is not taking Penn St their Twitter world seems to be resigning themselves to having to “settle” for Jeff Brohm. Am I the only 1 who thinks the guy they’d be “settling” for is really freaking good and they should be thrilled if that comes together?
