Sherone Moore fired at Michigan. Interesting timing...

Sherone Moore fired at Michigan. Interesting timing...

Got to be something to this beyond on-field performance. Given that he was forced to play a totally unprepared true freshman QB, 9-3 with no bad losses is a pretty good outcome.

Update ... there's more to the story.

Lane Kiffin to Michigan.

Lane Kiffin to Michigan.

Only if Brad Stevens says no.

Seriously, though, it's got to be Jesse Minter, right?
Edit: Forgot Minter has a show-cause against him, though that expires in April.

[WhiteTrash]

Too bad Franklin took a job. 

Brent Venables?

[cheebs09]

Deboer to Michigan and Kiffin to Bama for mass chaos?

[WhiteTrash]

Michigan has to at least make Fickell say no, right?

Deboer to Michigan and Kiffin to Bama for mass chaos?

Kiffin to Bama apparently will never happen. I thought he'd have a shot when Saban left, but I've since heard that as long as a handful of powerful boosters are alive, Kiffin is not welcome in Tuscaloosa.

Weird, he seems like a swell guy.

Gotta think Michigan may go back to the NFL for the hire due to timing?

Part of me thinks that they had to have started back channel talks given the timing of the firing?  But who knows

Also, I'm not entirely sure they would have wanted to snap up any of the names hired so far except for maybe Chesney? I don't think Kiffin, Sumrall, Campbell, or Franklin would have been on their short lists

[Jay Bee]

GO BLEW!

The time seems right for John Harbaugh to leave Baltimore.

[cheebs09]

Only right for Bill B to go coach where Brady won a natty and try to one up him with 2. Plus, when he hires his girlfriend, it's already in the open.

This relationship wouldn't have been inappropriate if they had simply beaten OSU

Wow. Crazy. UofM determined to outdo MSU.

Nah, you can't outdo Tucker and what he did with a rape victim and victims' rights advocate who MSU paid a significant amount to come to campus to meet with the team (adn the paid her a significant amount after Mel did his thing). Sleeping with your 32-year-old "executive assistant?"

Though going to her home and threatening to kill her and himself is taking things to another level.

I think she was like 24 (cool by me), but the 55% pay raise looks questionable now as well.

From The Athletic:

Indiana defensive lineman Stephen Daley will likely miss the College Football Playoff after appearing to suffer a freak leg injury in a postgame celebration Saturday night.

Following the Hoosiers' 13-10 win against top-ranked Ohio State to claim the Big Ten championship, Daley jumped to give high-fives with fans in the end zone at Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium. Daley came down wrong on his right leg and started to hop while continuing to slap hands.

"I can confirm that he did sustain an injury, (a) serious injury that will probably not make him available for the remainder of the season." Indiana coach Curt Cignetti told reporters on Wednesday afternoon.

Have we learned nothing from Martin Grammatica?

[CreightonWarrior]

The Ole Miss schmear campaign against Lane Kiffin feels like child's play now.

The evidence must have been overwhelming. Give Michigan credit because they apparently didn't try to sweep this under the rug, buy someone off or wait until a more convenient time.

The implications for the Wolverine football program are huge. However, the implications for the university would have been far greater if the matter had been "deferred" or shoved under a rug with a huge booster buyoff of the alleged victim.

I think you're very confused about the circumstances.  The staffer is not a victim, and there was a bunch of smoke before the fire that raged yesterday.
