November 30, 2010
By

“Anything to do with the coaching staff, that’s entirely Les’ call,” Alleva said. “Those things are Les’ decision. He has to feel comfortable with his coaches and their coaching style. “I would never mandate to a coach who his assistants should or shouldn’t be.” Read more of “Miles to have sole call on changes” on…

A source tells Evans that Mississippi officials (the state, not the school) are “investigating whether Rogers violated state agent laws by acting as an intermediary between Bell and Newton’s father.” The NCAA and FBI are also investigating Newton’s recruitment.  The NCAA wants to know if Newton (or a representative for the quarterback) solicited or received…

Gus Malzahn’s Head Coaching Prospects

November 30, 2010
By

My guess is that Malzahn isn’t going anywhere in the immediate future. I doubt he’d be interested in listening to anyone until after this weekend’s SEC Championship Game anyway. He’s got the luxury of being able to wait and see all of job openings before jumping at one because his job at Auburn is a…

Bowl trips can sometimes go bad

November 30, 2010
By

A bowl victory would leave the Vols at 7-6, just where they left off last season. That’s no small achievement considering all the attrition between last season and this one. But if the Vols don’t invest as much effort in this game as they did the last third of the season, the bowl could become…

By

Mullen said on a radio show this week of the speculation he could move to another job that “Here’s what happens: One, it’s a good thing for myself and it’s a good thing for Mississippi State because it means we’re winning. Speculation only comes when you win. But, for us right now, I think a…

5 reasons Mark Richt won’t leave UGA for Miami or anywhere

November 30, 2010
By

• He makes too much money. Neither Colorado, which might not be seriously considering Richt, or Miami, which surely is, can match the $3 million Georgia is paying. His job security might be eroding — he needs to win at least nine games next season to feel safe — but he’s not so near unemployment…
