Seriously, those pants are growing on me

Saw on another board Pete Thamel reporting on Twitter Grambling has changed mind on Briles.

Well, that didn't take long: Art Briles out at Grambling, football world reacts (msn.com)

 

[Horns11]

Looks like he's going to go back to the Italian team. The man is 66 and is never going to open up about how he handled the scandal. Colleges need to just give up on that dream.

They didn't care about his past. He'd had his camera off on the zoom interviews and finally saw his gosh awful new "look."

 

[Seattle Husker]

Alabama will hire Todd Grantham (former Georgia DC; former Mich State DC) to join the Tide as an analyst.

Jumbo Package: Saban to hire Todd Grantham

Alabama is where coaches go to continue to collect their previous contracts while rehabilitating their resume with a little of Saban's polish as a Quality Control Analyst.

nice look for Art.

Is that real?
If so, the scandal really took its toll!

A Hue Jackson statement prior to the un-hiring of Briles:

"As we move forward together with Coach Briles, we ask people to keep in mind that no matter your views on this topic, please remember that people can and often do become re-traumatized and re-victimized by statements which may or may not be accurate."

This statement could do the same thing.

Longhorn great Rod Wright (UTSA - Co-DC) will coach Miami's DEs. Mario is loading up.

Charlie Strong to the “U.”

Miami hires Charlie Strong: Mario Cristobal adds veteran coach to star-studded Hurricanes staff

 

[Horn6721]

Charlie should do well there

 

[SabreHorn]

Charlie should do well there

I'm not sure. While Charlie inherited a rogue mess at Loserville, the image he seems to want to project is not exactly what has and is the norm in Convict Gables.

Miami hires Charlie Strong: Mario Cristobal adds veteran coach to star-studded Hurricanes staff

Does that headline mean the staff is already star-studded before adding Charlie or is adding Charlie what helps make it star-studded?

Nebraska coaching candidates: Mark Stoops, Matt Campbell lead list of coaches to replace Scott Frost

With Frost out, N had better hire a winner if they ever want their storied program to return to relevancy.

Some candidates:

Matt Campbell - ISU
great choice if they can get him
a Big 10 sort of guy from that part of the country
can smash em up with Big 10 teams

Mark Stoops - Kentucky
has made a basketball school a strong football contender

Mickey Joseph - Nebraska interim coach
blah... has got to be a mere "fall back" candidate

Bill O'Brien - Alabama OC
not sure if its his coaching or vastly superior talent that wins Bama games.
that, and Bama's D
also, can he bring Southern talent to the Northern Plains?

Jim Leonhard - Wisconsin DC
another Big 10 guy

Gary Patterson - UT analyst
outstanding defensive coach
from Kansas originally, so the N gig may have some appeal
not sure if he wants back on a hot seat

Urban Meyer - broadcaster
we know what he can do, but good luck getting him...

Tom Herman - broadcaster
Nope

PeeWee Herman - creep
Nope, not him either

And N is for Nowledge...

I don't know...that PeeWee Herman guy could be JUST who they need.

From that list, I think the Stoops brother might be the strongest candidate and best fit, but it would be hilarious (in the same way Jerry Jones' moves are hilarious) if Husker chose Bill O'Brien..

Agree on the strongest candidate--although Urban may be if they could somehow get him (they will not).
I think Campbell would be the best fit.

 

[bystander]

I just don't know if they can recruit up there any more. Frost was theoretically a home run hire. Proven record as a HC (not Power 5 though). Direct ties to former glory days.

What happened?

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Agree on the strongest candidate.
I think Campbell would be the best fit.

I think it would be neck and neck for best fit. Both Campbell and Stoops have that midwestern Ohio background working for them.
