Odom is a guy who could definitely move on. Wonder if Marrion just moves up there.

Reports Belichick interviewed for the UNC job.

[Flipper]

Two names near the top of the list for Michigan OC gig are former BGSU assistant Dan Mullen and current Toledo HC Jason Candle. Toledo might be glad to get out form under that contract

[Globetrotter]

What are the levels

1. High power 4 job
2-3. High power 4 coordinator/Low power 4 job
4. High power 4 position coach
5-6. Low power 4 coordinator/Group of 5 head coach
7. FCS
8. D2

I'd flip 4 and 5-6, but it's close.

Utah State is hiring Bronco Mendenhall is their next head coach. He had a lot of success previously at BYU, so this feels like a hire with chance to be pretty good.

This also opens the New Mexico job.

Im surprised Utah State is that much better of a job

Rumors Mike Gundy could be out at Okie St.

He's just a man, he's 40.

All-time press conference moment.

Hard to believe that was 17 years ago already.

[mbenecke]

Florida International is hiring Duke RB Coach Willie Simmons as their next head coach.

He was 45-13 as the head coach at Florida A&M from 2018-2023.

Brett McMurphy reporting today that Rich Rod is in the mix at West Virginia. Says he's not the clear cut favorite but is among the leading candidates

Rumors Mike Gundy could be out at Okie St.

He's just a man, he's 40.

Love that press conference. So much that my wife made me a shirt with that saying and a picture of his profile.

The interesting take of me liking that so much is that we actually teach in the same k-12 school district that the player he was defending attended.

Update is that Gundy keeps his job. We’ll have to hit up an Okie St game before he is done.
