 If Matt Lubick is indeed the choice as @UW_Football new WR coach, would be his fourth job in three months (Oregon, Ole Miss, Baylor).

yikes, whats the story behind that

 

[nako xl]

He was fired from Oregon, then flaked on Ole Miss for Baylor, and now Baylor for UW.

Worth mentioning he's from the NW though, so he prob has his family up there.

SC about to hire  Deland McCullough away from IU to be RB coach. Big 10 guys should we be excited?

I hear ND wanted him.

Indiana has had some decent RBs the last couple of seasons. He should be a good hire. Can't comment on him as a recruiter.

He's a good coach.  Michigan was looking at him to replace Wheat before they decided on bringing back Frey instead and moving lil Harbaugh over to RB coach.

Ole Miss got a 2nd Notice Of Allegations today.

LIFE AS A 2-STAR: WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GET YOUR OFFER YANKED, AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

The school D.J. Charles was committed to play for had just hired one of the biggest names and brightest minds in all of football. Lane Kiffin—the Lane Kiffin—had agreed to become the next head coach of Florida Atlantic University.

Getting an offer from FAU had been a big break for Charles in the first place. It was the best offer he'd gotten when he accepted the verbal agreement. And while he hadn't originally committed to play under Kiffin, he loved the idea of it.

"I was very excited," says Charles, a senior safety at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Florida, reflecting back on the change. "He was coming from one of the top programs in college, winning championships and doing big things. I was excited to have him as my head coach."


But then Kiffin didn't call. And neither did his brother, Chris Kiffin, who took over as the team's defensive coordinator.

No one called, for that matter. The initial excitement began to morph into concern.

Eventually, Chris Kiffin reached out on Twitter, and the two exchanged messages. According to Charles, Kiffin asked him why he decommitted from FAU. Charles told Kiffin he had not, uncertain where that information had come from. Kiffin said he would get back to Charles after they reviewed film and transcripts.

"Once I heard that," Charles says, "I got a sense that something was wrong."

It was not until Charles' father, Lebert, reached out to the program that the family learned their son no longer held a scholarship offer.

"I spoke to someone—not anyone on the coaching staff—to find out what was going on," Lebert Charles says. "They told me then that D.J. didn't have an offer. I was shocked. I didn't say anything. I just hung up the phone.

"To this day, no one has [called D.J.] or called me to let us know what was going on."

And that's when it finally sank in.

Welp.... not bad fellas

Welp.... not bad fellas

Everything that I saw says it wasn't anything that OM wasn't already aware of and prepared to defend against

 

[SuperJ5]

Something should break soon.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Hit them w/ the LOIC.

Yikes.

Now comes the fight. OM has already decided to institute a self imposed bowl ban.

Looks like the Austin Golson stuff was determined to be not a big deal, a Level III allegation but the Leo Lewis stuff was Level I

 

[stanfan]

Scumbag kiffin legit makes my blood boil

 

[newbs24]

Coincidence that Ole Miss lands their worst class (by a lot) since 2012 with the NCAA taking a peak at them??? Have a feeling they will go by the wayside fairly soon

 

[dacomeup]

I mean they were probably being negatively recruited like hell by other coaches saying sanctions were coming.

 

[SuperJ5]

A PEAK??? U serious? This was a 5 year investigation....

 

[SuperJ5]

Plus worst class and still in the top 30 so it wasn't "horrible"

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Ole Miss was just so blatant with it, **** was Oregon-esque

 

[SuperJ5]

Blatant how?? Honest question

 

[dacomeup]

All of the top OOS players you landed coming off a 5-7 season. Let's not act like ole Miss wasn't cheating now. Tunsil stuff too.

 

[SuperJ5]

5-7 wasn't until this year. Freeze has been 7-6, 8-5, 9-3 and 10-3 before this year. Tunsil stuff was cleared.

 

[dacomeup]

It can be cleared but come on, man. The texts and even his own admission on tv. 

 

[N41D]

A question for you guys that I have been thinking about lately, and since it's a slow time during the off-season. 

If Briles would have taken the Texas job in 14, does the power of an institution like that shield him from any blow back from the eventual scandal at Baylor?  I lean towards yes, but perhaps I'm too much of a cynic. 

Absolutely not.

When **** hit the fan you saw how quick Baylor was to **** all over him publicly.

If he left them? It woulda gotten even uglier. Absolutely nothing to lose at that point.

 

[swendro]

Blatant how?? Honest question

School with no pedigree
coach with no pedigree
??????
High caliber recruiting classes

Coach freeze readily admits he enjoys his free time so he must be a very charming guy to be able to pull those classes under those conditions.

 

[SuperJ5]

Ain't **** "blatant" abt that.
