Clay Travis: So ya, your next Tennessee coach is Dan Mullen. The fact that people think Gruden will coach college for the first time since 1991 is laughable. Dude makes ridiculous amounts of money to chill out and call 16 games a year or whatever.
Hahaha.Thankfully I don't think they can afford him but that too would be so UCLA. They need to go after someone like Frost (probably a pipe dream with Nebraska likely having an opening) or Norvell when they whiff on Chip Kelly. Doubt Norvell leaves the South
Kevin Sumln is their next coach Doubt it. They'll swing for the fences at someone like Chip Kelly, and then when they miss, they'll go for someone who is much cheaper than Sumlin will be. Well Sumlin’s about to be fired, so he’s definitely going to be cheaper than he normally would. Bet they could afford him.
Interesting rumor going around that Willie Taggert will go to Ole Miss if the impeding sanctions don’t include an additional year bowl ban. The AD at Ole Miss was the AD who hired him at WKU, so they have a tight relationship. He allegedly isn’t all that happy with the situation currently at Oregon for several reasons and wants to return back to the South to coach. Ole Miss would also pay him $2 million more than he makes now. That’d be a hell of a hire if there is any truth to it.
Good stuff. Look for Long to reappear as Auburn's AD. I'd love Norvell for Ole Miss, but his first choice would be Arkansas. My realistic choices for Ole Miss currently are 1. Strong 2. Norvell 3.Neal Brown 4. Venables 5. Chad Morris
Indeed it is. Mississippi State may be open as well. There are strong rumors that Tennessee may end up with Mullen. Lots of smoke about Jimbo Fisher to A&M. Charlie Strong seems to be the name most connected to Ole Miss at this point (assuming there isn’t an additional bowl ban year when the sanctions come down soon)
Arkansas’ AD was fired today because he didn’t want to fire Bielema. So he’s certain to be fired after next Friday’s game against Mizzou. Your SEC coaching vacancies at the end of the year are likely: Florida Tennessee Ole Miss Arkansas Texas A&M Auburn - depending on the Bama game. Malzahn allegedly wants out and would likely be welcomed with open arms at Arkansas where the big money boosters wanted him instead of Bielema several years ago. A few weeks ago I would have added Mizzou to that list but this last season surge for them has likely saved Odom’s job.
No way Auburn is ahead of Wisconsin. I’m really surprised there’s isn’t more talk about them being playoff contenders. With just Minnesota and Michigan left on heir schedule, they have a strong chance of going into the title game undefeated.
:-( He was/is likely a Hall of Famer 200+ wins, career 3.38 ERA, 2 Cy Youngs, 2 second place Cy Young finishes, and 3 other top 5 finishes. Also one of only two players in history to throw a no-hitter in the postseason.
So what was the flag? Trying to figure out what would've been the penalty. There is a rule against jumping/leaping in regards to trying to block kicks. The point is to keep players from jumping over the line of scrimmage and getting flipped over and breaking their necks or whatever. Clearly what they flagged that dude for is not within the intent of the rule.
