Sounds like Oregon was talking to him.

I get why people like the pagentry and history of Army / Navy.  But man the games can be terrible at times.

Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning is set to take over as coach at Oregon.

Just fired Miami coach (Manny Diaz) to be the  new DC at Penn State.

Kind of a crazy hire IMO.  Honestly, Lanning sort of reminds me of Nagy from resume alone.  Very limited high level coaching experience and his greatest successes have been under a master at his side of the ball.  Aka how much of this UGA D is Kirby Smart and how much is Lanning?

Cal coach Justin Wilcox, a UO alum and Oregon native, turned down Oregon.

https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/john_canzano/2021/12/canzano-a-twist-justin-wilcox-turned-down-the-oregon-ducks.html

That’s interesting. You have to think Oregon is a better job than Cal. Especially for an alum.

UNC QB Sam Howell, a potential first-round draft pick, on why he's going to play in the Duke Mayo Bowl rather than sit out so he doesn't risk injury:

“(Not playing is) something that definitely makes a lot of sense when you really look at what’s at risk and all that, but I’m here for this team. And I just feel like as a quarterback of this team, and as a leader of this team, it’s just not the right thing. Even if it is the best decision for me and my career to opt out of the game. It’s not about me, people could say I’m in the position where I can be selfish and make that made that decision, but that’s just not who I am.”

Good for him being true to himself. I'd be saying the same thing if he decided not to play.

Travis Hunter, the #1 overall prospect in the nation for the 2022 class decommits from Florida State and switches over to Deion Sanders-led Jackson State. That is pretty crazy.

Its not pretty crazy, its absolutely astounding.  Deion signing his son last season was pretty unheard of given his ranking.  But a legit top 10 recruit choosing an FCS school, and not one named NDSU or Sam Houston St?  Incredible and without comparison in the modern recruiting ranking era.

NIL has a good chunk to do with it, but Deion is doing some really impressive stuff down there.

That's cool.

I wonder what Deion's career aspirations are. I haven't heard him talk about them. Does he aspire to coach at a Florida State, or does he love where he is and believe he can have a bigger impact there?

I haven't seen him directly speak to it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's happy where he's at.  He can have an impact, coach, but I'm gonna go on a limb and say its not a 100 hour a week job like coaching a major P5 program is.  He did a lot of media before he took the job.  He still has a gig with Barstool where he does podcasts and an NFL show, which he seems to really enjoy.  I think he's in a sweet spot that has minimal expectations so he can deliver big like this and make a splash.

would you say the same if a nothing school bought off MU's top commitment (or poached, say, Justin Lewis) with a promise of NIL money in violation of state law?

Taking the money and going to an HBCU worked well for Makur Maker.

Do we know if Deion wants to make that insane time commitment? What Wags said makes a lot of sense.

I don't have any idea one way or the other, but some people actually are happy where they are. See Mark Few (who wasn't always coaching a dynasty), Bob McKillop, former St. John's football coach John Gagliardi, etc. Not many. It's a small group of coaches who are content where they are, but they do exist.

If a player wants to transfer out of Marquette or change a verbal commitment on signing day due to NIL, that's fine with me.  And any anti-NIL law should be ignored and is likely unenforceable anyway.

Oh I should also add that Marquette should then go out and steal someone else's prospect by showing what NIL could do for them here.

There were rumors that he was lobbying for the job when Taggart was fired.  Rumors he didn't quite deny.

I'm old enough to remember when NIL hand-wringers were saying that all it would do is further concentration of the top players at the top programs.

Maker got injured and didn't play.  That is what went against him.  He wasn't a consensus lottery pick and always had academic/eligibility issues, hence why once he got hurt he went back to Australia to get paid.  Not really a similar situation to this.

Not even just that, money isn't an issue or quest for Deion at this point and he wasn't exactly laser focused on getting into college coaching the first 15 years out of the league.

Counter point, its Prime Time.  The man loves to be in the headlines and in the public eye.  I wouldn't expect him to deny rumors connecting him to being a new judge on American Idol or running for President either.

Well, if he loves to be in the headlines and in the public eye he'd certainly do well for himself to move from Jackson State to Florida State.

Yes. I named 3. I'm sure there have been others.
