Kolek planning to go pro
Reports coming out that Texas A&M are about to eat $75 million and fire Jimbo Fisher.
I mean if you have the donor pockets to give $10MM a year for 7-8 years, I'm sure you can round up the buyout.If I'm not mistaken, shockingly, A&M has the most Fortune 100 CEOs of any US university.The biggest mistake was not just the initial contract, it was giving a fat extension after he not only didn't make the playoff, they didn't even make the SEC championship game...because Bama beat them by 28. Their record was inflated by a historically weak SEC year during COVID.
Good news is, a bunch of coaches about to get raises
Yes! College football coaches, teachers and firemen all due to paid what they are truly worth.
Penn State fires their OC. Frames will have his 6th OC since he got hired in 2014
Mississippi State fires Zach Arnett.
Northwestern expected to make David Braun its full-time coach. He's done a great job keeping that team somewhat competitive (Big 10 West disclaimer here), but bold move hiring a guy who's never been a head coach at any level and never recruited or coached, before this year, above the FCS level.
Heisman Watch, from Yahoo Sports:The Heisman Trophy field has become a four-horse race, with three QBs and one WR well ahead of the pack....Crazy to see the odds so long for Williams and Maye, given they were prohibitive favorites going into the season. I like Harrison, who is having an amazing, difference-making season for a possible playoff team, despite playing with a mediocre QB. But any of the 4 is certainly worthy IMHO.
Heisman Watch, from Yahoo Sports:The Heisman Trophy field has become a four-horse race, with three QBs and one WR well ahead of the pack.The contenders:++ Bo Nix, Oregon QB (-110 at BetMGM): The senior transfer from Auburn leads the nation with a 77.7% completion rate to go along with 29 passing TDs (2nd) and a 184.7 passer rating (3rd). He's also rushed for five scores.++ Michael Penix Jr., Washington QB (+375): The senior transfer from Indiana leads the nation with 3,533 passing yards to go along with 28 passing TDs (4th). His case is bolstered by leading a 10-0 team, with one of those wins coming against Nix and the Ducks.++ Jayden Daniels, LSU QB (+400): The senior transfer from Arizona State leads the nation with 30 pass TDs and a 202.1 passer rating, which would rank third all-time. He's also rushed for a QB-best 918 yards and eight TDs.++ Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State WR (+550): The junior (who didn’t transfer!) has lived up to his father's name, becoming the first Buckeye receiver with multiple 1,000-yard seasons. He ranks seventh in the nation in receiving yards (1,063) and second in TDs (12).Best of the rest: Georgia QB Carson Beck (+3500), Alabama QB Jalen Milroe (+5000), Florida State QB Jordan Travis (+6000), Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy (+10000), USC QB Caleb Williams (+15000), North Carolina QB Drake Maye (+15000), Oklahoma QB Dillon Gabriel (+15000), Michigan RB Blake Corum (+15000).Crazy to see the odds so long for Williams and Maye, given they were prohibitive favorites going into the season. I like Harrison, who is having an amazing, difference-making season for a possible playoff team, despite playing with a mediocre QB. But any of the 4 is certainly worthy IMHO.
Not worth a new thread but shutout to the Alma mater MUHS winning the state championship tonight
Yes. Pretty amazing given that MUHS lost something like 42-0 to Sussex earlier this year, then Franklin beat Sussex something like 35-0 in the semifinals. And then MUHS beats undefeated Franklin 27-10.
