As an ASU alum, I can tell you his seat is pretty hot, but he's not going anywhere. There's too much money sunk in the stadium renovation right now, and we can't afford the buyout. However, my guess would be anything short of 8 wins next year, and he's gone. |

Me neither. Catholics obviously consider themselves Christian, they just use the distinction of Catholic. I looked At Notre Dame's mission statement and they mention Catholic 13 times and Christian one time. They absolutely what the distinction of being known as Catholic and I saw the statement as such. Nothing nefarious about it. |

I don't think that means as much as you think it does. Look at Baylor's mission statement and notice they mention "Baptist" more than they mention "Christian" (and I'd say that they'd have to mention "Christian" history over "Baptist" history because Baptist history is a merely few hundred years old ).

Speaking of Baylor, Morris to Baylor seems to be losing momentum...

To be fair, not recruiting a QB after Mariota and relying on a pair of transfers is bizarre and a completely fireable offense. There's no way they weren't automatically in the top three for any dual threat QB anywhere west of the Mississippi during that time

Not to derail the coaching threat with religious talk but my father-in-law is an Independent Baptist and I am Catholic. Liberty University's roots came from Independent Baptists. To this day I'm not sure he thinks I am Christian and they have a unique view of what they think Catholics believe in. I'll leave it at that...

Yep - my wife grew up Baptist/Presbyterian. I think the Catholics might be a little too "Cult of Mary" for them.

Baylor has looked at 7-17 Morris and now 19-30 Sonny Dykes. Do they really want coaches that mediocre?

I don't get the love for Dykes either. If your goal is a pass-heavy offense that only works against mediocre or worse teams, go for it. If you want to win your conference and be relevant on the national stage, what are you doing considering Dykes?

I have to assume the AD issues are limiting their potential pool of candidates. Morris would be a HR all things considered.

Morris has been at SMU 2 seasons. The year before he arrived they won 1 game got blown out in every other game and he took over a team with ZERO commits in January. This year he has won 6 games including 2 over top 25 schools. Morris would be a homerun hire for Baylor. SMU is opening the checkbook to keep him home in Dallas. |

I also assume that if Morris was still at Clemson and had no HC experience, he would still be considered a HR hire for Baylor given all that has gone on.
Having him spend a couple years just learning from being a HC on his own is icing on the cake, results be damned (although as CU mentions, results are relatively good). |

Purdue looking to make an announcement Monday. Word is that it's down to PJ Fleck, Jeff Brohm, and Troy Calhoun. I am hoping for either of the first two listed, but I've heard good things about all 3.

Glad they didn't take Wyoming's coach. Hope Fleck doesn't take the bait, feel like he can get a better job if he holds on. Calhoun might be tired of recruiting at USAFA. |

He just got signed to an extension until 2021 after last season? Where is this buyout money coming from?

Has to either be something off the field or they had a monster candidate fall into their laps that they couldn't say no to. I'd guess the former.
Believe that's a quicker extension to firing than Rutgers had with Flood. |

Unbelievable. Just when the program was really turning the corner. This is devastating. IU football is by far my favorite team in any sport. I don't want to go back to doormat status. |

Might be Diamont, yes. He did say he was quitting after the season. |

Welp, if this stuff about forcing injured players to play is true, then IU is making the right call. I sure hope they promote Tom Allen to HC in his place.

That back bruise/blood clot stuff is horrific, if true.
And probably a good reason why that Harvard study advocated for NFL medical staffs to be fully independent vs team-owned. |

If any one of those incidents is true, good on IU for firing him.

Sounds like Tom Allen will be interim coach and they are working on a contract to make him permanent HC.

He gets one year of base pay. $542,000 was the number, I think. It seems like they had Wilson with a fireable offense, and offered him a way to get out without being fired.
Very happy with the Allen promotion. Strange day. Last edited by Kodos : 12-01-2016 at 08:20 PM. |
