So This Head Coaching Thing Is Hard?
Will Muschamp was a can't miss candidate when hired by Florida. Kevin Sumlin was gonna rock the world when hired at Texas A&M. Brady Hoke was certainly going to absolutely kill it at Michigan. Charlie Strong would surely be as successful at Texas as he was at Louisville. So after a few seasons, ...
In the aftermath of the Boston bombing, the NFL is going to outlaw backpacks and larger purses at football games.

If D'No can get the defense to play 20% better this week, UNC will only be able to generate 440 yard of offense.

Hmmm. Maybe D'No is in cahoots with the NCAA. He is part of our punishment.
If we were forced to lose 15 scholarships on defense alone, would we be doing any worse?

Eichorst's starting salary at Nebraska will be $973,000 annually, believed to be a significant raise over his Miami deal. As a private school, the Hurricanes typically do not release contract information.

Gibson's has good steaks but be prepared to wait. I was there on a Tuesday night and the wait was close to 45 minutes to be seated. Also, they cram diners into their dining areas. You can virtually eat off the neighboring tables. The waiters have to be anorexic gymnasts to be able to maneuver between them.

As much as there might be a chant for D'No to go, I doubt it will happen. I think Golden and D'No may be a package. Golden may be particularly loyal to him or at least want people around that have his (Golden's) back.
From what I remember, Dave Wannstedt was the same way.

The football team at the United States Military Academy is not like other college football teams. At West Point, football players carry the same course loads as their fellow cadets, shouldering an Ivy League-caliber education and year-round military training. After graduation, they are destined not for the N.F.L. but to danger zones halfway around the world. These men are not just football players, they are soldiers first.
