Coaching holes getting filled furiously in the past twenty four:

–BC will likely hire Green Bay Offensive Coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski. His main virtues seem to be having NFL experience and wanting the job. Bill, for one, is excited.

–Jonathan Tu has an exclusive with Urban…who sounds like an extremely violent man.

–Stanford hires Jim Harbaugh, who Jon Wilner dubs “a huge gamble.” Perhaps, but this sentence cannot/is not be true:

But this is a huge gamble for a program that cannot afford to be wrong.

Umm…Stanford could afford to outfit every incoming freshman with gold legwarmers and sapphire-encrusted codpieces and bikinis. They, more than any D-1 school, can afford Jim Harbaugh, even if he drives his car drunk into any one of the 18 Nobel Laureates wandering the grounds. (Just wait a year, they’ll make more.) He can’t be worse than Buddy Teevens, and that is scientific fact.

–Burnt Orange Nation is Time’s Person of the Year.

–Mario Cristobal to become the head coach at Florida International University, replacing Don Strock following a miserable year culminating in the Orange Bowl fight with Miami. Cristobal, the first Cuban-American D-1 coach, announced at his press conference that A’Mod Ned could do whatever the hell he wanted to, play any position, and take whatever he liked from the locker room so long as he promised not to hurt anyone.


A’Mod Ned: broke the bonds of slavery for Europe, swung crutch of liberty for all.

–Erik found this pic, and we can’t stop looking at the Orgeron glowing with joy over his poaching of transfer Jevan Snead from Texas. WARNING: you may be turned to stone by his glare. Or fall in love. Or both.


He’s like a sexy basilisk, isn’t he?
