Four Coaches to Watch in 2008

Without a good coach, your football team is nothing.
In 2007, we saw some amazing coaching (and some amazingly bad coaching). While the entire coaching staff is important, it is ultimately the head coach that makes the calls on everything. Here’s who I think will be interesting to watching in 2008:
Charlie Weis, Notre Dame
After announcing earlier […]

New Coaching Hires: Update

With so many teams kickin’ their coaches to the curb this year, athletic directors across the country are in a frenzy to do one of two things:

Convince an awesome coach to come coach for their team.
Convince their awesome coach not to leave.

I can just hear the talks going on. They all sound like used car […]

He’s Staying at LSU

Early today, ESPN (as well as a number of other news services) reported that Les Miles would be heading to Michigan, leaving his LSU tigers to coach at his alma mater. Who gave that first “official” word? *shrug* Dunno, but they were wrong.

Smart move. SMART. Since taklking about it early this week, I’ve thought a […]

Michigan is Going the Extra Mile(s)

No big surprise here - Michigan is after LSU’s Head Coach Les Miles to replace Coach Lloyd Carr, who announced his retirement earlier this year. Athletic director Bill Martin has officially requested permission to talk to Miles about the opportunity, which has been granted on one condition - that they wait until after the SEC […]

College Football Will Miss You, Coach Carr

Coach Llyod Carr is truly one of the classiest, greatest football coaches out there. To no one’s surprise, he announced his retirement yesterday, after being head coach of the Michigan Wolverines for the past 13 seasons. College football will definitely miss him.

Austin Scott…

Read the full story here.
There’s speculation that Scott was involved in a rape. Who do you think you are? Get off that campus. Penn State is a place for EXCELLENCE.
In any case, JoePa has suspended Scott indefinitely. People in the locker room tell us that he told the others that Scott is “no longer a […]

“We May Not Be the Prettiest Horse in the Race…”

This is one of the few young coaches that I really respect. He had some good mentors, but Bielema has really proven that you don’t have to be a dinosaur to win games. Plus he’s hot.
What. I am a girl, remember?

Texas Tech loses, D Coordinator Resigns…Coincidence?

After a pitiful showing yesterday by the Texas Tech defense against Oklahoma State, the team’s defensive coordinator, Lyle Setencich announced his resignation. Reports today indicate he was leaving for “personal reasons.” Sounds like Setencich is taking the 49-45 loss personally.
Now, I can’t assume that he’s not truly leaving for legitimate reasons. Maybe a family member […]
