10 bowl matchups we wish we could have seen, 2015 edition

Let’s get one thing out of the way: there is no such thing as too many bowl games. If you think there are, I don’t want to hear you kvetching in July when it seems like meaningful sports will never occur on your Saturday night, especially that of the football variety. For the most part, […]

Will Muschamp, South Carolina, failing upward, and the ghost of Ron Zook

In the coming days, college football reporters will sift through the drama which unfolded Saturday, as University of Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne didn’t merely say that Rich Rodriguez would remain his program’s football coach: It is currently a point of dispute as to whether or not South Carolina made an offer to Rodriguez, only […]

Chris Ash Named Head Coach at Rutgers

According to multiple reports, Ohio State Co-Defensive Coordinator Chris Ash will be named head coach of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights football program, pending the school’s Board of Governors approval. Ash, the former defensive coordinator for Bret Bielema at Wisconsin and then Arkansas, was brought to Ohio State after the 2013 season to sure up a […]

Houston claims first AAC crown and New Year’s Six bowl bid

The first AAC championship would clearly be decided by one aspect of the competition: Houston’s offense against Temple’s defense. Yet, the other matchup ultimately told the tale of why Tom Herman’s first regular season as a collegiate head coach became a complete success. Houston’s offense and Temple’s defense lived up to the billing on Saturday, […]

Syracuse Hires Dino Babers as Head Coach

The ACC’s head coaching vacancies have all been filled. On Saturday, just hours after Virginia hired Bronco Mendenhall as its new head coach, Syracuse made its move.

With Bronco Mendenhall leaving for Virginia, BYU’s future becomes even more uncertain

Yes, the University of Virginia very handsomely compensated former head coach Mike London. Yes, the school will give new head coach Bronco Mendenhall a highly competitive financial package. Yes, Mendenhall is a noticeably better coach than London. Virginia football improved on Friday evening. However, one must ask if the Cavaliers improved enough in an ACC […]

20 for 20: week 13

There will not be 20 games of significance this upcoming Saturday, so this marks the regular-season finale of 20 for 20. The box score of the week goes to Iowa-Nebraska. The Huskers piled up numbers. Iowa didn’t convert a single third down. However, Old Demon Giveaway doomed Big Red. It’s a tale as old as time: […]

Mark Richt will make Miami relevant again by doing things his way

Miami has had two head football coaches since Larry Coker was fired in 2006. Both of them represent fascinating stories that are worth their own separate chapters in the history of the program, but they have something very important in common: neither Randy Shannon nor Al Golden were established top-level coaches before coming to Miami.
