It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that Ohio State is bigger because of the trips to the BCS, or that Oklahoma is a better job because of its tradition, or that being the manager of the New York Yankees, head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, or head man of the North Carolina basketball team are somehow more prestigious, but a winning head football coach at Notre Dame would own more than just the sports world. He would be a king.

Will Muschamp (Texas DC) to Florida, according to reports

best ESPN clip of him ever

[Edited on December 11, 2010 at 8:23 PM. Reason : he's only 39, so the pussy in Gainesville is probably better than in Austin]

12/11/2010 8:22:21 PM

^ yup it just popped up under breaking news on espn

12/11/2010 8:38:41 PM

LOL at Miami looking at Trestman

[Edited on December 11, 2010 at 9:40 PM. Reason : ^^Guess he's tired of waiting on Mack to retire but after this year may not be long]

12/11/2010 9:40:24 PM

Miami should be in a position to get a big name coach.

looks like their AD is cut from the same cloth as Lee Fowler.

12/11/2010 9:47:49 PM

Malzahn accepts Vandys offer for head coach.

12/12/2010 5:48:42 PM

nice... very interesting to see what he can do at Vandy

12/12/2010 5:56:03 PM

He probably could have held out for a better job.

"Al Golden has been offered and accepted the Miami coaching job, a source confirmed on Sunday. The 41-year-old Golden spent five seasons at Temple, transforming the Owls from a program that was 1-11 in his first season to winning 17 games in his past two seasons at the Philadelphia school. A source told The Associated Press that the deal is believed to be for at least four years and worth up to $8 million."

12/12/2010 8:24:47 PM

a Jew in Miami, imagine that

12/12/2010 8:33:08 PM

i know he did well at temple but i'm not 100% sold on this one

12/12/2010 8:35:58 PM

happy for him, big step up though, but Miami is still struggling to be respectable so I could see why they took a chance

12/12/2010 8:36:47 PM

he'll fit right in moving to another team with no business playing in an nfl stadium

12/12/2010 8:42:57 PM

UVA will be kicking themselves if he has any success at Miami.

12/12/2010 10:04:24 PM

Vandy is denying the Malzhan story...


and the Texas, Florida, and Georgia boards have been exploding the last day

12/12/2010 11:41:23 PM

I think Golden can be successful at Miami. The Miami job really isn't that hard. He just needs to get a decent number of the local kids, cherrypick good prospects from throughout the country, develop guys once they get there and be a good game day coach. As long as he wins, the great local kids will want to go there.

"Auburn says Gus Malzahn not leaving Tigers Auburn coach Gene Chizik says offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn has received a raise and contract extension. Monday’s announcement came amid reports that Malzahn had been offered the Vanderbilt head coaching job. Chizik did not confirm that the coach had been offered—and turned down— the Vanderbilt position. He also did not release details of Malzahn’s new deal. A person familiar with the situation says Auburn will “more than double” Malzahn’s $500,000 salary. The person spoke with The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because details of the deal were not publicly announced. Malzahn, who won the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach, is also Auburn’s quarterbacks coach and works with Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton. "

12/13/2010 5:42:52 PM

Interesting that he works with Newton. Typically, the offensive coordinator and quarterback aren't on speaking terms with each other.

12/13/2010 5:47:23 PM

Well I mean. All he had to do was make sure Cam showed up on game day.

12/13/2010 6:28:25 PM

Dana Holgorsen (OK State OC) to WVU

He probably did not want to end up like Greg Schiano. Plus Pitt is not a bad job, team still has talent, they just need an actual good coach. Moustache man Wannstedt did a good job bringing in talent, he just could not coach worth a damn. Kind of like Amato.

12/19/2010 9:56:27 AM

Pitt job open again

"Hey, I'm the head coach at Pitt!"

(beats wife)

"Ahhhh, shit"

1/1/2011 6:41:16 PM

ahahaha wonder if he made any money.

1/1/2011 8:18:58 PM

Randy Edsall to Maryland

1/2/2011 2:08:23 PM

^damn, that motherfucker didn't waste ANY time

1/2/2011 2:26:31 PM

better than mike leach (for other teams, not them)

1/2/2011 2:31:25 PM

obviously Weis is going to be Florida's new OC

1/2/2011 2:32:00 PM

Is UCONN to Maryland really a vertical move?

1/2/2011 2:33:44 PM

Ah fuck, Maryland was causing us enough trouble with a bad coach

1/2/2011 2:34:10 PM

Randy Edsall's career is going south

1/2/2011 2:34:58 PM

is that a pun ಠ_ಠ

1/2/2011 2:36:32 PM

Where do you see TCUs coach going? He's due for a big paycheck from a big time school.

1/2/2011 2:39:14 PM

Wouldn't be shocked to see Danny O'Brien transfer. His family had already talked about it, and now UMd hires a run-first coach.

Nowhere now that he's got an automatic BCS berth waiting for the next few years

1/2/2011 2:40:57 PM

holding out for the $texas job in my opinion

1/2/2011 2:42:54 PM

I dunno, TCU is in a real good position right now. They are going into a shitty Big East conference where they could become the next Miami (in Big East) or FSU (in ACC) type school due to what will essentially be a free ticket to the BCS every year. And, if these spending numbers that came out the other day are right, they're willing to spend SEC money (and more than Texas) on their football program.

[Edited on January 2, 2011 at 2:54 PM. Reason : NVM, Texas wasn't on the list cause they're not in a bowl (25m vs 20m)]

1/2/2011 2:52:41 PM

Mike Leach must interview like he commentates or something.

1/2/2011 3:08:30 PM

cant wait to see how much edsall is getting paid

1/2/2011 3:08:57 PM

He made $1.6M this year at UConn -- sucks... but knew it was going to happen eventually.

He is a good coach not a great recruiter but a really awesome person too.

[Edited on January 2, 2011 at 3:25 PM. Reason : also, sucks this happened this year -- skip holtz would've come back in a second]

1/2/2011 3:21:27 PM

I totally expected to see Leach at Maryland, kinda disappointed.

1/2/2011 11:15:03 PM

you do hate maryland right? why would you want a coach like leach going there?

1/2/2011 11:18:06 PM

Just for the laughs.

1/3/2011 9:57:45 AM

Sounds like Edsall is a bad breaker-upper

Quote :

"A freshman who asked not to be identified told the Hartford Courant that Edsall informed some of his players over the phone. "It really pisses me off because he made [running back] Jordan [Todman] address the team last night to say he was leaving [for the NFL draft]," said the freshman, who also expressed his desire to transfer. "And he isn't man enough to do it face to face to us? "A lot of people were just really upset by the call. He made Todman get up and tell the whole team: 'Jordan, I think you have something to say to these guys.' He made him do it face-to-face. But he didn't do it face-to-face." Wide receiver Kashif Moore also told the Courant he was disappointed. "For being like a leader on this team, I've been here awhile, it's disappointing but at the same time, Coach Edsall has done so much for the program," Moore said. "I love him as a person and what he did for us after Jazz [Howard] was killed. I respect him for that but at the end of the day, and I learned this when I was getting recruited, this is a business. We can't ever forget that.""
