Cynical

Even if there was NOT an interview/offer, it would still be a benefit for Harbaugh's agent to "leak" the alleged offer to Casserly for exactly the same reasons you cited. It would also benefit Harbaugh and his agent for Stanford to "know" about such "offer". Having everybody know you are in "demand" helps with any contract negotiations or re-negotiations. Don't believe any third party sources. Could the source be right? Yes. Could the source be wrong? Yes. And there in lies the problem. We don't know one way or the other. The only thing we can expect as things drag on is the rumor mill to really start cranking out BS.

Awesome! We can change the Bills fight song to: Linky

Looks like Derek Dooley is the guy: Linky Son of former UGA coach Vince Dooley Served under Saban when Nick was at LSU. Wasn't very successful as the HC for Louisiana Tech going 17-20.

IIRC, 91% last year. Made Vandy one of the top 5 in the country.

Money and marketing. Prior to the 1998 expansion, Legion Field was actually bigger. The bigger and more important games were played in Birmingham. Legion Field had become old and outdated, they expanded Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa (and continue to do so), and Legion Field is home field for the UAB Blazers.

Just like Steve Spurrier did, right? That's why Texas Tech defenses have sucked while he was the coach.

I am always amazed at what people on this board will B word and complain about.

Alabama Crimson Tide (in case you were unsure), Buffalo Bandits I don't care if the Bandits play in a "minor league sport". The Bandits have won more league championships than the Bills and Sabres combined.

Norm Chow staying @ UCLA Linky

Nothing definite, but lots of smoke: Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun has called a team meeting with his players @ 5:50 PM. Troy Calhoun is definitely on the Vols list of candidates. Linky

So Skip Holtz is expected to be named the new HC of the South Florida Bulls. Linky Let the outrage begin.

Yep. From checking the vol board this morning, Muschamp has told Tenn no. How the UT AD feels about Leach is unknown, but the fan reaction is pretty consistent: Hell no. - "kooky" offense (as one poster put it) - serious concerns about the ability to field an "SEC quality" D - think parents of recruits will react negatively towards Leach given how he has handled the James situation - somebody posted this: Linky Possibly. However, some rumors floating around saying he was tired of coaching in the SEC. True or not, I have no clue. Side note: Tubby is interviewing Tony Franklin's successor at Troy. IIRC, he was Franklin's OC while Tony was at Troy.

Of what?

Apparently, things got "testy" in Knoxville Tuesday night following Kiffin's announcement: Linky Rumors are saying tear gas was used, but I personally am not buying it. Here's a Volunteer fan reaction to Lane's announcement: Coaching candidates: According to volnation.com: Gruden was approached and said NO. Fulmer is NOT coming back as the AD has no interest in bringing him back Going hard after Muschamp.

I think you are confusing/combining employment contracts with other contracts. Most employment contracts have some sort of out clause built in. As long as the parameters of the out clause are met, the employer has no grounds for a lawsuit (they still may try, however). In this case, if Kiffin has an $800k buyout clause (and assuming that is the only parameter of the clause), as long as Tenn receives that $800k, there is not a damn thing the university can do to stop Kiffin from saying "C-ya".

IMHO, if the NZAA gave Bama the death penalty, the poop would have hit the oscillating device. The only evidence revealed in '02 was how incompetent, inconsistent, and possibly corrupt the NCAA is/was.

Are you kidding me? Happens quite frequently.

I thought crashing the server was the whole point of this thread. Am I wrong?

Excuse me while I go laugh my f***ing ass off. What a great year to be a Tide fan. And I just checked out the Tenn Volunteer football website, and their list of coaches. Lane's name and picture have been removed. But so has dad Monte, and fellow USC loser Ed Orgeron. Love it! The Tenn program is in chaos.

IIRC, when Levy stepped down as GM, it was revealed Marv signed a contract for only 2 years. Why should the finger of blame be pointed at Levy when the team belongs to Ralph? Ralph knew he had only 2 years to find a real GM.

643 National Championships.

Oh, pure speculation, but I am calling it first. Mike Leach will be the new HC of the Raiders. Leach does have a fascination with Pirates.

You need to get out of the St. Augustine area, and travel in the deep south a little more. As the map shows (the one being linked more than once in this thread), the debate is not about pop vs soda, it should be pop vs soda vs coke. Besides, when somebody asks for a Kleenex, would really expect somebody to say "Sorry, all I have are Puffs"?

Linky

What reactions? The only things we have been subjected to are rumors and pure speculation. There are very little amount of facts floating around. The Raiders made the SB in 2002, and have been terrible since. Yes, worse than Buffalo. Not a single winning season since then. Hell, even the Bills generated a winning season since 2002. I will agree with the ownership issues. Ralph's age has to be a major concern. When he dies, nobody knows who the new owner will be, nor do they know where the team will end up.
