I just read a story about Luke Fickell now being in hot water with Badger fans regarding the new OC hire.

---

Nonsense. Fickell's seat is warm but not hot water. Believe it or not, Grimes is probably going to do well at Wisconsin. Win the B1G? Probably not. But much more competitive than their previous OC? Certainly.

You can take issue with the person who wrote the story about fan reaction I guess which is what I was talking about. I was not talking about the administration's view point.

I just read that Dino Babers is out as OC at Arizona and replaced by former Tech QB Seth Doege, who I didn't even know was in the coaching profession.

Florida co DC Armstrong leaves to take same job at Houston.

Ron Roberts the other DC at Florida.

I just read OU is about to hire away WSU's QB coach now. They really want their QB.

WSU's Jake Dickert says star QB John Mateer is still practicing with the Cougars and taking time to decide if he will enter the Transfer Portal or not.

Mateers' OC last season recently took the Oklahoma offensive coordinator job.

Meanwhile the OU QB coach is moving over to Stillwater to take the same position. Again I wonder why Gundy has never hired his brother over the past 20 years.

His brother was coaching at his Alma mater so he may not have wanted to go anywhere else.

Or possibly they didn't want to work together knowing it could create family friction.

That is what I'm wondering about from you last sentence. Cale Gundy resigned from OU in 2022 right before that season. So he has been out of the coaching profession for a couple of years now. Perhaps that is his call. It just seems strange Gundy has never hired his brother.

Maybe Gundy didn't want to make the same mistake as Bob Stoops??

Looks like he decided on the portal. No surprise considering OU taking his OC and QB coach. I did not realize he was just a 2 star coming out high school. I guess I also didnt realize he was a Texas kid.

Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson is stepping down, sources confirm to @YahooSports, as ESPN reported.

Article lists him as arguably best Wake coach ever.

Mr. Grobe may take umbrage with that .

Michael Vick a finalist for Norfolk St AND Sacramento St .

That certainly wouldn't have been on my bingo card 20 years ago.

Thankfully, neither of those schools' mascot is the Bulldogs or Huskies.

Big bucks: UNLV will pay new football coach Dan Mullen $3.5 million per season on a five-year, $17.5 million deal, making him the highest-paid head coach in Silver State and Mountain West history. That's a gigantic commitment. https://t.co/Zc13ZvRbnV

Dang. Unsure how that'll go. Part of his ousting from Florida was his lack of recruiting. I thought they might elevate the go-go offense inventor.

When it rains it pours. Relegation has been hell on WSU. They lose OC, QB coach, 20 players to the portal including the star QB and now to top it off HC Dickert is announced as the new HC of Wake just now all within the time span of about 10 days.

Rex Ryan advocating for Deion to be the next Dallas Cowboys Head Coach...

It can't be any worse than what we have now...and it would definitely be entertaining.

But....I do like having him as a B12 coach.

---

Cowboys won't really be great again until Jones stops trying to be HC. Maybe the Cowboys can fire Jerry Jones!

Sanders certainly does bring lots of attention to Bug 12 football. All their games are nationally broadcast with lots of eyeballs.

---

They could put Nick Saban as the cowboy head coach and Jerry would screw him up. Those 1990 cowboys are long gone. I used to watch them all the time and even shut down hay baling on Sundays when I worked for an old cowboy fan in the 1970's. Alcoholic beverages chips and cheese dip is all we needed.

You would want Vick at Baylor? He can add at least one sport y'all don't have. Might be hard finding someone else to play..

Agreed. And their attempt to keep the PAC12 alive won't help much. They will just not be a power conference and it will join the other conferences as the new member of the G6.

Which is why I understand why there is a group of their fans that wanted to stop sending their flag to every college gameday location. They get it that ESPN single-handedly relegated them from a power conference to a group of 5 team. (Soon to be group of 6 once they get enough teams in the PAC 12)

I would.

But what better way to start his HC journey than at an HBCU in Virginia.

Story of redemption and forgiveness.

Good luck Vick. Good luck Superman. Go make a difference.

And BU maybe could take a lesson from this and not discard people forever.

Sometimes I think espn wants to do the same to the Big 12.

I knew I recognized that name

I remember Doege when Baylor played against him over a decade ago. It was about the time we broke their long winning streak and started a small one of our own. Those were some good games!
