He is gone....or getting a fat raise again. Damn these agents play the universities like puppets.

Not so sure about that. Dan's making 2.5 at MSU and has done a good job but still has some work to do. So, not sure we would pony up to keep him knowing we could have Hud at the drop of a hat. Also, I doubt PSU is going to be willing to pay much more than 2.5 for Dan and I hope Dan is smart enough not head to Happy Sodom and Gomorrah Valley for a slight pay raise.
The authur also had a good point that has nothing to do with money or scandal. You want to be Ron Zook's replacement not Steve Spurrier's.

From Stewart Mandel at Sports Illustrated:
"In terms of available resources vs. job expectations, what is the worst coaching job in college football?"
-- Ron, Indianapolis
"Two words: Ole Miss. I feel bad saying that because I've made cracks about that fan base's deluded expectations before, but in all seriousness, it's a graveyard job. Despite residing in a small state, despite constant struggles to recruit elite athletes who qualify academically, despite one of the smallest football budgets in the conference (slightly more than Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State and about half of Alabama's) and despite playing in a division with three of the past five national champions, two of the Rebels' past three coaches (David Cutcliffe and Houston Nutt) have been fired within two years of Cotton Bowl appearances.
Nutt's program was obviously trending downward, but even in a solid state, the Rebels were never going to keep winning nine games every year. And a couple of 7-6 seasons probably would have scored Nutt maybe one extra year. The next coach will be given a year or two to rebuild, then expected to contend for a New Year's bowl, all while the SEC adds two more schools to recruit against and implements stricter rules about oversigning (which Ole Miss leans on as heavily as anyone) and the NCAA stiffens academic entrance requirements (which means even fewer kids will qualify). Personally, I'd ask for a contract that at least allows me to partake in the Grove before games to help ease the misery."
Alabama better team, but Oklahoma State deserves BCS title shot - Stewart Mandel - SI.com about midway down the page.
Here's a few more from Scott Van Pelt.
"Ole Miss- good tailgating doesnt mean its a good job" and this gem "look past the Grove- your job is just above Kansas...the smell of bourbon and Chanel #5 is good for the guys of Sigma Nu- not your football program"

The word on the streets here is that Fedora is on Texas A&M's short list to replace Sherman.

Yeah, so is Mullen but I don't see it happening. Fedora is from College Station and A&M would be a much better SEC job than the other he is rumored to be in the mix for.

He'll be there next November to rip off 4 in a row.
That is funny....since they have about 70% of them now.

The name of the thread is College Football Smack but thus far you've only talked s*** about our uniforms, marketing campaign and and our coach's posture. Way to bring the heat!
What do you expect from a Yogi Bear fan...

You calling us irrelevant is irrelevant where as ESPN and SI calling y'all a joke of a school and the worst coaching job in college football actually means something.

I don't disagree with the ESPN and SI guys. I would not want the job.
You should embrace irrelevance in the SEC. It makes life much easier.
6-6 power!

But But but you yourself called us anonymous. Which according to you is a step above irrelevant. Please oh please let us at least have that!
On a side bar, this has to suck. I once had a number that was one digit off from both Pizza Hut and the Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Department. I didn't need cable TV with that kind of entertainment.
