Sam "Bam" Cunningham, former USC star and long-time NFL fullback, died today.

After Cunningham and USC battered Bama in 1970, Bear Bryant starting to recruit Black kids.

HUGE win for Oregon on the road in Columbus.  Down their defensive stars but OSU is the one whose D looked terrible.

Happy for Mario Cristobal. Dude got a raw deal at FIU and has really taken advantage of every opportunity after it

Didn't see it, but I liked seeing the final score!

Lol Paul Chryst should probably give up play calling. It’s also a bold strategy playing a QB at Wisconsin that can’t hand the ball off.

FSU lost to Jacksonville State. I was going to flip the channel as I thought JSU had no chance on the final play.  :P

Makes ND blowing an 18-point lead to that mediocre team look even worse. And then ND barely beat Toledo.

USC has fired Clay Helton.
How long before Urban flees Jacksonville? Or does Lane get a second chance in LA? (Hollywood loves a comeback story)

Well Urban Meyer is certainly going to get a look here, and if things completely fall apart in Jacksonville, a Bobby Petrino like exit from the NFL could definitely occur.

But then you will hear names like James Franklin.  Or even Luke Fickell who Bohn (their AD) hired at Cincinnati.

I do expect them to not hire a "USC guy" because I think Bohn was hired to specifically move them away from that mindset.

I think Urban needs a full season to fail, have a health condition flare up, and then a year to magically recover.  Seems too soon.

Kiffin is petty as hell, I don't think he'd go back after what they did last time, and honestly I think hes found a REALLY good spot at Ole Miss.  He succeeds there and he'll have a bunch of options.

The lists that have come out have had some  :o names.  Greg Schiano?  Maybe a decade ago.  PJ Fleck?  One pretty good season in 4 at Minnesota, that you still lost to Iowa and UW is enough to garner a promotion?  Joe f-ing Moorhead?  The guy who was mediocre at Miss St literally 2 years ago?

I think Fickell is interesting.  Maybe throw money at Chris Petersen.  Matt Campbell is a good coach, sure, but I can't see him working out West.  I think Cristobal is happy in Eugene.  Joe Brady is an interesting name.

Joe Brady is worth kicking the tires on.  Franklin has been connected to that job in the past which leads me to believe it’s something he’ll consider.

Playing in an SEC West with Bama, A&M, LSU and one of Texas or Oklahoma would seem to doom any hopes Kiffin has of making the playoffs ... maybe even if the playoffs are expanded to eight. Ole Miss is a job with a definite ceiling, and that ceiling isn't competing for a national title.
As for being petty, you're probably right, but all the people who did him dirty at USC - namely Pat Haden - are long gone.
If USC wanted him back - and that's admittedly a big if - I think he'd be hard-pressed to find a better gig. It's still an elite brand in college football, the recruiting turf is hard to beat and the Pac 12 is winnable every year.

Dennis Dodd said the SC job is Fickell’s to turn down. But that he might just do that.

I agree.  I didn't mean he's a lifer at Ole Miss, but its a great high major spot to continue the Kiffin Redemption Tour.  He can play his style of football and if he goes 10-3 and makes a major bowl, he's king.  Look at Hugh Freeze, before the scandals he was king of Oxford.  Ole Miss wants success but they aren't overly delusional.

As for your statements on USC, I totally agree.  Regardless of recent foibles, its still a top 5 job for me, if not top 3.  I just don't know if its his goal anymore.  If I had to guess, I think he has 3-4 good years at Ole Miss and takes a better job in the South.

The Athletic polled 100 people working in college football to rank the best coaching jobs.
Results:
1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Georgia
4. Texas
5. LSU
6. USC
7. Clemson
8. Oklahoma
9. Notre Dame
10. Florida
The rest: Michigan, Texas A&M, Miami, Oregon, Florida State, Penn State, North Carolina, Northwestern(?).

Not big surprises at the top, but didn't expect to see UNC and Northwestern ahead of places like Wisconsin, UCLA, Tennessee and Washington.
