Scott Frost at the podium in Lincoln Sunday afternoon and it's Bud Fat for EVERYBODY!!!

It took damn near 30 years for Alabama to really pop out of Bear's shadow, wouldn't you say?  And it took a guy who's becoming almost equally as iconic (almost) to do it.  Even still, they won a title in that span and still all you see are houndstooth caps at the games.  
In an almost odd sense, the one thing PSU will be able to do much easier than either FSU or Bama is get out of Paterno's shadow b/c of obvious reasons.  

Well.....what would you wear to promote Gene Stallings?  A grimace?  lol

Top 10 All-Time Win%, and Win% in the past 10 years (07-16):
1. Michigan (.591)
2. Notre Dame  (.591)
3. Ohio St  (.825)
4. Oklahoma  (.781)
5. Alabama  (.857)
6. Texas  (.633)
7. Southern Cal  (.718)
8. Nebraska  (.651)
9. Penn St  (.674)
11. Tennessee  (.535)

(FSU has passed UTK)

All this attention on UNL, PSU, and UTK....but look at 1 and 2.  Yes, Tennessee is the worst off, but UM and ND are next up.  Michigan thought they got their guy, but from a W-L perspective, Harbaugh has turned banal.  ND was on the cusp of getting rid of their Kelly, but this year he's held onto the job for awhile.  I'm not sure if that's good or bad for the long-term.

And if Texas doesn't figure it out soon, they'll be in as much hot water as anyone.

Sumlin apparently said no, so it's on to Leach!

FSU will have an opening tomorrow -- so it appears. I am so relieved to see Jimbo Fisher leave. I don't like having him as the face of the program at my alma mater.

[CWSooner]

I've been told that the NBC station out of D/FW is reporting that Leach has accepted the job at Tennessee.

This should be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

[OrangeAfroMan]

Reports say no offer made, nothing imminent.  

Anywho, if you can't work it out with your (literal) 15th choice, keep your chin up, because #16 might say yes!!!

[MarqHusker]

I think this makes sense.  Leach can take a pirate ship to Neyland.

Mike Leach would be awesome and hilarious.  Still, my spidey sense is saying that the AD flew to Los Angeles to interview candidates.  Tee Martin is currently in Los Angeles and it makes sense the AD would come to him because he has a game on Saturday.  So I'm guessing Tee Martin.

Nebraska already is a helmet IMO.

If Nebraska's not a helmet, then everyone might as well just wear leather helmets.

I can't recall a worse coaching search since I've been paying attention.

Tennessee needs to fire the AD and let Fulmer lead this search. At the very least he has credibility. The AD right now has none, zero, zilch, nada.

Oh, it can always get worse. 

Akron fired their last coach, while he was on his way to his mother's funeral. 

[Drew4UTk]

as far as UT reports go, this one is the funniest/strangest:  It's being reported Jimmy Haslam (the seed of UT issues; owner of the Browns; owner of Flying J/Pilot; biggest single booster of UT athletics; self appointed overseer of all things) has been calling state representatives (the ones that ignorantly commented about Schiano) telling them "YOU don't choose who coaches at UT- I DO!!!".   

this UT thing is a LOT more than just an incompetent AD and Chancellor, even though that's all that's being covered.  The power play going on up there is hysterical- and there isn't an end in sight.

That's terrible.
His mother died not knowing her son didn't have to coach at Akron anymore?
