Giving podcast interviews about how the SEC football programs used to slide the money in the backdoor to recruits.

Washington plays tonight in the first bowl game.   If they don’t jump on Jedd Fisch tomorrow then maybe they really are getting DeBoer after all.

Just hire Tom Brady and stop fooling around.

That search firm is going to contact a bunch of people, so this isn't really news, I guess.  But if he could turn this into an extension, it would be his third since this summer.

I don't doubt this is true. But I also wonder.... why? If I'm Kalen DeBour or Kenny Dillingham or [insert top choice here], does the AD really matter after I sign a 7-year, $70MM contract with a $50MM buyout? Michigan is a top-tier program with top-tier resources and top-dollar donors. That's not going to change with a new AD or new President.

Do we really think that new administration is going to come in and say "I don't like football" or "I don't pledge institutional support to football" in such a way that will actually impact the head coach's job? Stephen Ross and Larry Ellison are the real people in charge and they aren't going anywhere.

I’d love to see Urban Meyer named next coach.  Oh how wonderful it would be to see everyone’s true religion then.

that's an agent talking to a reporter saying "youre going to have to pay my client even more money to take a job in this situation."

nothing more than posturing.
