Most college football writers enjoy a few aspects of their job more than others. Transcribing. Posting viral videos of off-field incidents, knowing that it has to be done in order to drive traffic. Going through traffic to get to a game site. Those are not fun parts of the job. What IS fun? Writing about […]

In college football, it’s perfectly okay to be blown away by developments you don’t expect. It’s the nature of the sport. Chaos is a feature, not a bug. Allowing a feeling of surprise to have its way with you for 24 hours is perfectly reasonable. After those 24 hours, however, you need to come to […]

It is so easy to develop tunnel vision in the business of college football coaching… and in college football writing as well.

Then, because magic or whatever, Maryland got tabbed as one of the best destinations in the country for college football coaches. Everything is complete normal. Link dump. * College Football Steve Sarkisian has been […]

It is time to pump the brakes on all the Ohio State doubt that’s flowing from all corners of the country. While the Buckeyes have not shown the precision many people expected from their offense, it must be noted that Ohio State is in a better spot through six games than it was last year. […]

Some things in life are predictable. Whether it’s a Nick Saban-coached squad having a solid defense, a Bill Snyder-coached team exceeding expectations, or a rivalry week upset that completely changes the national championship picture, there are some things that you can simply count on every year. Add Mark Richt’s status at Georgia to that list. […]

Whenever it comes to light in our modern mass-media age that the head football coach at a major program: A) is drunk; B) is not reporting to practice; and C) needs substantial therapeutic and rehabilitative care… … it’s big news. It should be. Moreover, one can’t avoid the tsunami of reports on the subject, even […]

The year was 2008. The Georgia Bulldogs began it by annihilating the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors so thoroughly in the Sugar Bowl that Colt Brennan’s well-being really did seem to be imperiled. Watching that massacre in New Orleans, it was hard to shake the feeling that Brennan and other skill-position players on the Hawaii roster were […]

Randy Edsall was relieved of his duties as Maryland’s head football coach on Sunday. Regardless of what you might have felt about the firing — and whether it was merited or not — the move at least brought an end to a strange and uncomfortable form of coaching limbo in which Edsall was “going to […]

In the course of time — the next few days and weeks, not months — leaders and power brokers at the University of Southern California should tend to the health and well-being of their stocked but sliding football program. The various issues connected to the performance of USC football, and who coaches the Trojans in […]
