I don't know what's open, but it would seem to me that most big college options would be better. Cincy's had a nice couple years, but their program is fairly pathetic longterm. It really shouldn't be hard for any legit program to pull him away from there. Top of my head, the biggest name jobs are Kansas and Virginia, which I have a hard time(other than possibly money) putting ahead of the Cincy job.
-
Cincy was absolutely not a doormat when Kelly got there. CMU went to one bowl(the year Kelly left) under Kelly. I think he's a great coach, and would be a good hire for anyone, but you're overselling him with your description.

What's with her face?

Yeah, Harden isn't a 5 inning pitcher, and even if he was having him at 1/9M isn't a risk. (As always the caveat that he's not more hurt than we're aware.) -
To follow up on Tim's response, wasn't Harden a 2 pitch pitcher in '08 with the Cubs? I think last year had a lot more to do with his health than the fact that he was throwing 2 pitches.
-
Yeah, I guess I didn't consider the other jobs opening up option. It doesn't look like there's anything out there right now that would be worth leaving Cincinnati though. (Assuming Cincy pays him accordingly.
-
I already made my picks earlier in this thread, I think I had Big Ten winning 7-4. I did pick Penn St., cause Virginia is awful. Oh, and if anyone wants free money, last I checked VA Tech was only a 3 point favorite at Iowa.
-
Next year, I'm just going to pick somebody who really sucks as my favorite player. Bye Rich.

But (as you mentioned with Randle) I don't believe that to be the case with Beal. And when you have 5 schollies for '11/'12, you can afford to wait on one stud. I'm fine if Quincy Miller wants to stretch things out with us and take it up to the last second, assuming we find homes for at least one other scholarship. Worst case you wind up banking for one of the Indy guys in '12. I'm just glad that despite the loss of Beal, we're still in decent/great shape with some really good guards in Randle and Langford. I'm sure they were each aware we were going hard for Beal, but I think we were giving them a lot more attention than we did a Moore or whoever in the IDKWTI year. This could be partially a function of the large amount of scholarships for '11, but I really do think the whole ordeal taught the staff a lesson. It worked to get Griffey in the fold by giving a take it or leave it vs. Cooley, and if we are sold on Langford, I think we'll wind up with him the same way in a take it or leave it with Randle.

He seems like a solid coach. But he's the fallback right now. Stoops may not take the job, but he's the first guy on the list. Since he hasn't told ND he's not interested, I'm not sure why they wouldn't press for him. Especially since OU's season is over whereas Cincy has another week. Gives ND 5 full days to quietly (or not so quietly) pursue Stoops and then turn to Kelly if Stoops ultimately says no. Then you run the risk of Kelly saying no. I think ND has to do this kind of quick. Kelly has more national championships under his belt than Stoops does and he's an easier get. If they publicly go after Stoops and he spurns them, they run the risk of further embarrassment. Why would Stoops leave OU for ND, if not for the money? It is an inferior program in every way and there is much more pressure than at OU. They need to be humble for once. I think Kelly would be crazy to turn the job down no matter much he feels spurned by not being the 1st choice. I don't see him saying no.
-
I think Larkin and Alomar are pretty close to statistical slam dunks when considering position.
-
It's also not a top flight program in terms of landing coaches. The Stoops talk is nice and all, but Notre Dame isn't going to pull coaches from elite teams just because they're Notre Dame anymore (if they ever did.....Davie/Willingham were hardly elite when they were hired, and Weis wasn't even coaching in college) Dan Devine was definitely a pull because they were ND.
-
That's what I think as well. I don't see Randle ending up with us. Also I am very glad that Beal isn't at KU. I don't know why Weber continued to waste effort on Beal when he didn't commit (shortly after he was offered) and was talking about keeping his options open or exploring other avenues, etc. If a kid really wants to go to your school he'll commit, when he starts the keeping his options open talk move on. That's crazy talk. You only want commits that decide a week after you offer? Would anyone on our roster be on our team if that was our strategy? We wouldn't have any of the freshmen.

I think it's assume whichever of Iowa/PSU doesn't get a BCS gets the CapOne. -

I don't know if this is sarcasm, but: -
I think we have the teams and the matchups to win it this year. If you guys win tonight, we have no excuse not to.

When I stop being so damn attractive. -
The Concepcion is the most indefensible in the entry. Just awful.
-
Hasn't virtually every player asked said they'd welcome Bradley back if he wants to. Doesn't sound like they're too worried about him being a miserable person affecting their play. (Primarily because it hasn't and it wouldn't.)
-
Washington.

Unbelievable.

That foul was fine, but this has been a horribly officiated game. (As IG alluded to earlier)

Go get you some Talor.

http://footballcoachscoop.com/Scoop.html the last two names are definitely long shots; probably patterson as well. Yes, you could argue that Stanford and Boise State are better programs than Kansas at this point. Trent Johnson took a step down in prestige because Stanford paid him garbage. I don't know what Harbaugh's getting paid, but money could be a reason.

Ugh, what are you doing PSU
