No one like maze and blue?

Perhaps Bill Martin shouldn't have been flying, boating or whatever the hell he was doing when the Les Miles camp was alledgedly trying to contact him.

Now that Miles has stayed and been extended at LSU, Rutgers Greg Schiano said, Ill keep chopping in Piscataway. I love the loyalty.

Can you believe that no one wants the jobs at Michigan and Arkansas? A coach from Boise State told UCLA, NO!

What the hell is going on out here?

Im staggered that those jobs have been turned down by these people with little or no fanfare. Their AD's wave a jet and cash and these guys who coach at seemingly less programs in terms of national stature say no we like it here in the weeds of college football.

Michigan called Ball State coach Brady Hoke. Brady Hoke! Hoke did a solid job for the Cardinals. Memo to Bill Martin......call Jeff Bower. Unassuming guy like that guy Ohio State hired who has done ok......

Could someone please get K.C. Keeler's number for these guys? How about Bud Foster the fine defensive coordinator at Va. Tech.?

It appears has if some good assitant coaches could finally get a shot since so many head coaches are turning down what could be lucritive jobs. What will Duke, SMU and Georgia Tech do if Paul Johnson says no?

Jerry Glanville anyone? Jack Pardee at Houston? Maybe someone like Earnet Byner, the Redskins running backs coach could get a shot. Jeff Jagodzinski did ok at BC this year didnt he?

If NFL teams wont hire Rex Ryan, why not Arkansas or SMU? Hey lets resurect the old Southwest Conference...SMU, TCU, Houston, UTEP, Arkansas State, yee-hah.

Fans of Michigan, Arkansas, and UCLA have to be in disbelief that people arent knocking their doors down to be coach. Loyalty. Jim Grobe, I love it....Spurns Arkansas to stay at WAKE FOREST! Great for him. Sometimes you dont always have to have the biggest name, just the best coach.

Michgan should call Brian Kelly and hire him today.

Arkansas, Tommy Bowden said no. Why not Skip Holtz? His Dad did ok there.

UCLA.....hmmm...Bronco Mendenhall....make the call....

Congrats to my friends Slim and the Malone's and their horse Full Boat...winner at $55....

Joe Miller and I will have the Maryland 4A Final tonight on Comcast CN8 at 7pm....Live from M&T Bank Stadium......

Geez all this over a coach from NAVY!

Who would have ever thunk it. A coach from Navy is the hottest property being sought from Texas to Georgia to North Carolina, and oh yeah, they would like to keep him in Maryland.

Rumors are circulating by the minute. Coach Johnson has met with Ga. Tech, SMU, Duke wants him and boy could they use him.

Someone even posted of critical staff meeting on Thursday for the Navy coaches. Just thought I'd mention my SOOOOOuuuuuuuurrrrrceeeeeees tell me there is no meeting and all coaches are on the road. I know I have a tape to give one of them and he isnt there and wont be! If there were a meeting he would be!

I love the internet age. Its full of fun, freedom and false information.

Kudos to colleagues Dave Ausiello and Bill Wagner who have done a good job keeping up with this story. Just thought I would chime in after seeing some incredulous information being bandied about.

HEISMAN TIME
My ballot. No I dont have one but if I did...
1. Tim Tebow
2. Darrin McFadden
3. Chase Daniel


College Hoops
I was in heaven Sunday at the BB&T. 12 rows from the floor and watching three games. Some observations. Scheduled on the same day as a Redskins home game, I was upset about the crowd. Three decent games and I thought more folks should have been there.

George Mason is decent. Point guard play was there down fall on Sunday. Too many turnovers.

Greg Sprink of Navy is a more consistent outside threat than anyone on Marylands roster.

GW-See post about George Mason.

Rutgers women had a huge win on Tuesday, beating Maryland by eight. Id say they have recovered from the IMUS mess......
