Ok, I went off looking for stuff on my usual rounds and this is the only place I saw anything. Thanks for the heads up. Dana had some off the field troubles in Morgantown, but nothing like that.

He’s a big of a drunk, right? I swear he had an incident last year that got him in some hot water with admin.

He got kicked out of a casino in WV when he was coach in waiting. Had a reputation of being a partier when he was here at WVU.
False rumor - Dana cut a player for hitting someone. Player started false report I guess. Will go edit my post
I don’t know what the original rumor was, but Houston when Houston dumped Applewhite for Dana, they said explicitly that winning 8 games will get you fired here. Dana now has one acceptable season in four tries for the Cougars.
Agree with this. And don’t forget USC and UCLA are on the way. B1G West went from boring Iowa and Wisconsin to incorporating Nebraska/Rhule, UCLA/Kelly, and USC/Riley. At the very least will enjoy a lot more pizzazz.
I was hoping Fickell would stick with Cincinnati until he could return to Ohio State. Hate seeing him go to a team I despise. To borrow a phrase from another sport, when the Big Ten West was formed, Wisconsin was born on third and has always believed they hit a triple. Of course, under Fickell maybe they can become a legit powerhouse... I just don't want to see it.
How does the Rhule signing by Nebraska affect his existing contractual payments from the Panthers?
Does he double-dip for a pantload of cash or is there offset language in his NFL contract?
I understand there usually is some offset in NCAA to NCAA and/or NFL to NFL, but am curious about NFL to NCAA.

He does not double-dip.

“When Nebraska hired Matt Rhule, they did more than just set up their future -- they also offset the vast majority of the $34M the #Panthers still owed him. This was the thought when CAR hired Rhule. If he didn't work out, they would be covered. He'll make $72M over 8 in Nebraska.”
Hugh Freeze to auburn is a done deal.

Auburn is catching flak for this hire — because of the scandals at Ole Miss, of course, but also because of his outreach to a sexual assault victim while at Liberty.

For the amount Auburn is paying Freeze, I don’t know why they didn’t just outbid Nebraska for Matt Ruhle. Did Rhule prefer to be in Lincoln??
I don't think it's any different. I do think the NIL and transfer window complicate things for them--it's hard enough to recruit players without being at risk of losing your depth every year, and while the university could put money out there to attract football players they seem to have no interest in really playing that game.
He coaches high school in Tennessee and think they’ve had a good amount of success. My knowledge is limited to his bi-weekly hits on Russillo’s pod. Can’t recall if he’s expressed interest in NFL / college coaching befire. At least makes more sense than Saturday but that’s a low bar.
Reports out of Tampa today saying Deion Sanders is going to be leaving Jackson State and deciding between Colorado, Cincinnati, and South Florida.
Deion was in Florida this week. The only thing we heard that is holding up the deal is Deion’s wanting/demanding a major say in the construction of a new on-campus stadium.
That seems crazy.
Auburn didn't want him? Or maybe he saw jumping to the SEC as too far because his ultimate goal is FSU--so Colorado to FSU over SEC to FSU?
I am very surprised that auburn didn’t show more interest. I think I’d rather have Deion over Hugh Freeze. Deion at Auburn would have taken the Iron Bowl to another level.
Maybe Auburn wasn't particularly interested in being a place holder until FSU came open. Colorado is happy just to be on the radar.
Total speculative hunch-Deion has inside info that Colorado will be moving to the Big Ten in the near future.
Deion told his team he is headed to Colorado.
It's official.

Yes. I know, I’m saying eventually that’s Deion’s goal and maybe he thought Colorado is more of a stepping stone than an SEC job would be.
I don’t see it. They’re moving to the ACC iirc next year.
For COL hiring him is a no brainer. It’s an irrelevant, dead program with no future. Might as well shoot for a star.
Thought I posted it but guess I didn’t. Heard yesterday morning that it was just shy of $4m annually plus other perks.
Liberty is private money. They could probably pay Saban if he was willing to go there.
Deion is gonna be short-lived in Colorado but maybe for a year or two people remember they play football. They’ve been entirely irrelevant for two decades basically.

Let’s not assume that Auburn is making hiring decisions based on purely rational criteria here. The job might be open again by the time Deion is ready to leave Colorado anyway.
This is amusing.

University of Cincinnati is hiring Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield to be new #Bearcats football coach, source confirms to @TheAthleticCFB. It was Mystery Man all along for UC. Official announcement expected at 1 pm. The Fenway Bowl on Dec 17 should be...interesting.

Jesus Christ, the guy hasn't coached a FBS, let alone a Power 5; game yet. Let's see if the man can do the job before giving him something a rung up from this.
And its the revival of a rivalry that was discontinued when Louisville jumped to the ACC.
I can see him staying there a few years. It's going to take some time to build this program back up.
