Yeah lets put this at the top...Pushpin, or whatever.

What do you guys think about Tubberville to Miami?

Jon Embree is the new coach of CU.

Miami would be better off hiring Howard Schnellenburger back. Similar to what KState did with Coach Snyder. But, Coach Golden will do. I really like him...he's a no nonsense straight edge type of coach, he definitely won't be bringing back Thug U. It'll be interesting to see how he's able to do down there.

That one was interesting...OC and HC in-waiting for a year.

Didn't think that was confirmed yet. The AD is denying that he offered the job to Embree, but I think that he gets it eventually.

ESPN is reporting that Franklin is taking the Vandy job.

Damn, I didn't even think about him when I typed out Franklin.

Maryland bought out the fat bastards contract.

Also, the Dana Holgerson thing...don't know how that's going to work out. Holgerson is a branch of the Mumme/Leach/Franklin "Air Raid" coaching tree. He's going to recruit to throw the ball, not run it like they've been used to at WVU. Herb Hand, IMO, would have been a much better fit, but isn't the big name. Could be his previous association with Rich Rod hurt him.

If they had waited one more year they probably could have gotten Rich Rod back.

Sorry for the total derail, but everytime I see this thread title I think of the following clip from Tosh.0.
