Administration and fan base/boosters are quite different when it comes to patience with minority coaches (especially when the program has not had one before). Texas's biggest donor, Red McCombs, called Charlie Strong's hire a "kick in the face" was as pushing for him to be fired before he coached a game at UT.

Coach Strong may be on his way out of USF next....hot seat.  Seems like a good man, might be one of those guys that is a better coordinator than head coach.

contractnomatta

If Florida State called him tomorrow and offered him double and paid the buyout, the contract will have not been worth the piece of paper it was written on -- except to Fleck, who would get richer, and I guess Minnesota, which would get compensated. All the athletes (and their parents) whom Fleck promised that he would be there forever and ever ... tough nuggies.

But sure, I guess Fleck "earned" that extension after 2 mediocre seasons and 2/3 of one very good season.

He’s paid more than Paul Chryst now.  Chryst is the 10th highest paid coach in the Medium 14.  King Barry will be opening the purse again

Good to see THAT Penn State make the final four.   :D


And no, I don’t think they will stay there.

Will they be there when they play Ohio State in two weeks on FOX?

Ohhh... wut?

@RapSheet: NFL Network analyst and Hall of Famer Deion Sanders has emerged as a candidate for the Florida St. head coaching job, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. A fascinating situation that could unfold.

I'm sure it was just coincidental timing that O$U is "looking into" something from 2018 and holding him out when it's Maryland this weekend.

I’ll bet if he didn’t play against Becky that the Buckeyes would have lost...  lol

I'm offended you would suggest that Gene Smith, defender of all that is good and pure in college athletics, would allow such a cynical move.

I'm fairly certain that the source of this rumor is a guy named Deion Sanders.

But if I am wrong, this would be one of the most godawful hires in the history of college football.

Adam Rittenberg of ESPN is reporting Ohio State expects a 4-game suspension for Chase Young.  Big win for amateurism

How coincidental is it that Ohio State has exactly 4 regular season games left including today and that is how many games they expect him to be suspended.   Whew for them getting him back for the postseason

Seems like 4 games too many. This is a longer suspension than Urban Meyer got for the Zach Smith debacle.

That was different.  The NCAA didn’t have a financial stake in that.  That money Chase Young took and paid back for flying his family to the Rose Bowl corrupted amateurism to its core

Thank goodness he didn't take make-believe classes for two years. The NCAA would have really come down on Ohio State for that. Oh wait ...

How about the simple part...every player knows the rules.  He broke the rules.  Why is this so hard for folks.  Sure, it tugs at the heartstrings, and Yama Yama, but those are the rules given to players and each school has a symposium each year on what you can and cannot do.  I get it, you don’t like the rules...well, that doesn’t get you out of jail.  I don’t like a lot of laws, if I don’t follow them there is a punishment.

The golden Gophers are playing pretty Flecking good so far.

Edit:. Literally the instant I hit 'post', Minnesota fumbles it away at midfield.

Tell me what is wrong with the statement...seriously.  It’s like betting in baseball.  When I worked for the Angels we had it drilled into our heads constantly, players, admin, etc...no betting...period...there was a huge sign on the wall you had to see every day going on the field...no gambling....these guys know the rules.  You are right, I am reliable on this because it is straight forward.  This isn’t hard, why make it so.
