M&BR has the latest on what we’re hearing on the OC search.

...didn't land back WVU.

The latest on big names:

Didn't see that coming.

This one hurts. Another level up and he could've been really good next year and added much needed depth on the line.

What's the story here? Not guaranteed as a starter? NIL?

Expected like out portal entrants going to be interesting who’s in through the bowls game throughout these two months and into Spring
Julian Sayin headed elsewhere if Air Noland is the man

Chad Herbstreit addition is starting to make sense.

Surprising that Ono's name has been conspicuously absent tells me he is happy with Warde's involvement with how he's doing his job. Dusty May's hiring, growing NIL programs, Sherone's building of recruiting buildup and recruiting class, filling the basketball arena, etc. I'm sure Ono has done work behind the scenes but chooses no to be in the limelight. If Ono is happy, I'm happy.

If someone had offered me a choice how our football program ended up this year this season would be choice #1. Others have posted what our season could have ended like, but with the team we had at the time, I see no way possible to get into the playoffs let alone win it all. Think Sherrone firing Campbell was tough for him to do but 100% the right thing to do. We are on an upward path and who know what our ceiling is in 25 & 26.

That Warde Manuel intentionally screwed Ohio State by giving them the hardest path to a title.

I will say, though, if they run the table they would’ve earned their natty. That’s a tough pull, I’m not convinced they beat Tennessee.

Better not bump SMU out for Alabama. SMU lost a hard fought game on the last play.

A few weeks ago Warde said teams won't be penalized for playing in a conference title game. Keep that energy tomorrow and have Clemson & SMU both in. Someone who lost to very bad Vanderbilt & Oklahoma teams(Alabama) has no business being in the playoffs. Just my .02

Joe Craddock's name has obviously been thrown around in connection with the Michigan OC opening. Jon Sumrall is staying with Tulane with an expanded assistant salary pool, among other things.

Does this impact Craddock at all? It's not like Michigan is going to be outbid if they really want him.

Either way, wanted to bring it to your attention.

No sense in naming names, but OC definitely was not the only underperforming assistant.

Does this take place in the next week or so?

After playing against Alabama, we will have played against teams that finished 1, 3, 6, 8, 11 and 20 in the AP this year. We also played Illinois (which was ranked as high as 19 and USC which was ranked as high as 11).

The CFP committee got it right!

This bowl match up is absolutely terrible. The selection committee picked a bad one here

Just saying, as I see the schedules that put them in the CFP.
