THE CURIOUS INDEX, 12/9/2011

LET'S KEEP THE PARTY GOING. THANK YOU KANSAS NO THE PARTY HASN'T STOPPED IT JUST TOOK A SEVEN HOUR NAP GOT SOME COFFEE AND PROCEEDS APACE.

Paul Myerberg's piece on Charlie Weis to Kansas is far worse than just calling Weis "a fat thief," and the best part is how you can do that by just writing his record since the year 2005. It's far worse than calling him names. Relatively local columnists are crying desperation on the part of Kansas, fellow Big 12 Blogs are wondering if Kansas has abandoned all reason, and Doc Saturday says it's perfect for Weis because Kansas getting worse may not be theoretically possible.

AS FAR AS WHO ACTUALLY SERVES AS FLORIDA'S FIRST OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR SINCE 2009. Muschamp won't actually go out and hire anyone interesting, but the options aren't horrible, for the most part. (Jedd Fisch LOLNO.) Kerwin Bell, Jacksonville University's finest and UF sentimental favorite, is painfully shy and retiring about any possible interest HAHAH JUST KIDDING HE DID ANOTHER INTERVIEW ABOUT IT. We'll end up with some pro-style slammer who will probably bounce around in two and three year stints in the pros for his whole life because [hurr durr that's how the pros do.]

MARK RICHT TO TAMU is crazy and not happening IT'S TOTALLY HAPPENING. It has less to do with TAMU not being a good job, and more to do with Richt sort of politely telling the universe to go screw itself for years now in hunkering down in Athens for the long haul. (But yes, maybe he doesn't want to get fired over the phone in the driveway of a recruit.)

CHARLIE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE EITHER. Strong waited so long for a job that Louisville's probably got a good long run with him (five to seven years) before he feels like he's given them their due.

IT WOULD BE KIND OF FAIR IF HE DID. But even though he's on Penn State's radar, Al Golden probably isn't leaving Miami after working a new fat contract out of them after that whole, "Sorry we didn't tell you about Nevin Shapiro" thing. More and more, it feels like Penn State's going to hire a placeholder to take the brunt of the slow drizzle of misery post-Paterno, and then re-up with a glossier hire down the road. (Helloooo, Ken O'Keefe.)

FRANK THE TANK NEVER LIE. His BCS Plus-One options aren't bad at all.
