There's never been a flight from South Bend to Madison before?

How many are privately owned?

Is it required by the NCAA that Al Golden be considered every HC job opening this year?

Heard a rumor that he turned down Wisconsin now as well, seems really determined to stick it out in Miami despite possibility of impending sanctions.

Don't forget Jon Gruden. Between Golden and Gruden they're going to coach every opening in football.

NetJets is like a time share/rental company for private jets. Can't be too many private flights from South Bend to Madison.

Best part of this Tuberville thing "Coach how long will you be here" - "I coached Ray Lewis" then a ghost

Hysterical.

It's the wife. Wanted to stay in L.A. because she's holding out hope she'll be able to reignite her singing career.

She should have gone country then they could have moved to Nashville.

Holy Lord ... Tuberville left for Cincy in the middle of dinner with recruits? Not classy.

Tuberville logs another unceremonious exit - Big 12 Blog - ESPN

EDIT: GITF beat me, per usual ... I'll leave this link though as I'm not sure whether the 247 article is free

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

Lol I was about to post the same article.

Yeah if true that is pretty amazing. Pretty sure coaches recruiting against Cincy are going to bring this one up.

 

[Chris P. Bacon]

That's my kinda coach right there, he'll fit in well with the type of kids they have at Cinci.

 

[PANDFAN]

sounds like a Petrino man....kind of funny seeing how tuberville was going to hire him if he didn't get a job

Keith Arnold just published a good article on the evolution of Kelly's staff:

After two years of building cohesiveness and ironing out some kinks, the 2012 coaching staff is as close to perfect as you can be in college football.

In Bob Diaco, Kelly has a rising star in the ranks, a passionate leader that is beloved by his players and embodies the effort and determination he expects from his team. With Chuck Martin coordinating the offense under Kelly’s direction, they have a leader that won’t flinch in critical moments, with Martin deserving massive amounts of credit for preparing Everett Golson and bringing the best out of him on the big stage.

The continuity on the staff has also been key. If Diaco ends up Barry Alvarez’s choice at Wisconsin, Kelly has the opportunity to promote from within, with three capable choices in Cooks, already his co-defensive coordinator, Elliott or Mike Elston. Offensively, character assistants like Hiestand and Denbrock, who has done a tremendous job in his second tour at Notre Dame, don’t seem like candidates to bolt at the next big offer, and Tony Alford’s ability to cross-train on Kelly’s staff should give him the opportunity to move to coordinator if and when Martin gets a head coaching opportunity.

Just as important, Kelly is building a farm system of coaches that will be ready to step into a role. Ernest Jones was brought into the fold to take a non-coaching role, but rest assured he’ll have a job on staff when one opens up. Bill Brechin has spent three years as an offensive intern and graduate assistant, and he’ll likely work his way to a promotion as well. David Grimes is working with the staff as well as a defensive intern, adding another ND graduate to the bullpen. While there are certainly scary scenarios out there if coaches move on, Kelly has built in provisions that should help keep continuity and keep the head coach from spending time coaching his coaches.

While there’s still one very big game left, the 2012 season will be remember as a year where the Irish caught lightning in a bottle. But Kelly seems to have done the same with his coaching staff, putting together the perfect combination of assistants to help propel Notre Dame to a perfect regular season.

Reminds me of USC under Carroll. The ability to keep continuity when your coaches are moving on to HC positions is huge. When Molnar left I was worried there would be some hiccups and obviously if there were any, they got ironed out very well. I love what BK is doing. He has succeeded at every stop and it's easy to see why now. It's funny that any of us were questioning his hire. BK is the man.

Kingsbury officially new Texas Tech head coach.

 

[arrowryan]

Diaco will be a part Anazlone's in-home visit. A lot of you were worried about Diaco because he wasn't doing any in-homes. Well there you go

Tommy Tuberville left visiting recruits at the dinner table

I read that this morning. Man has absolutely no hangy thingys. Couldn't at least say goodbye? I would imagine the rest of that dinner was pretty uncomfortable.

Coach where's Tubberville?
I think he's in the bathroom.

Must have made him an offer he can't refuse...

 

[Riddickulous]

"You won't be coaching a program with the death penalty."

"Where do I sign?"

"You won't be coaching a program with the death penalty."

"Where do I sign?"

"Also did I mention there will be people in the stands"

Haha, well he had been a candidate for every other job opening but said "no thanks." I would have thought that he would have been looking for every route out of Miami but up until this point he was not.

Pete Thamel @SIPeteThamel 1m
Just got word that Al Golden is flattered by Alvarez's interest but staying at Miami

 

[rtrn2glory]

golden is a much better fit at wisconsin than miami imo...he's too good of a coach to be stuck down there.

 

[ACamp1900]

It almost saddens me what happened to Miami,... Then I think of what they represented at their height and yeah,.... Not sad.
