JHall, it's time for an upgrade. You need the disembodied tongue Muschamp.

I love this comment from Stewart Mandel in his College football mailbag:

Just think -- if Ohio State had been eligible, it would have bumped NIU down at least one spot in the standings, and Nebraska, by nature of losing to 12-0 Ohio State instead of 7-5 Wisconsin, probably would have stayed above the Huskies rather than finishing .0012 behind them. This is all Herbstreit's alma mater's fault.

Sounds like we got Strong.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -
WKRN.com's Joe Biddle reports Tennessee is on its way to pick up Charlie Strong to be the Vols new head football coach.

Biddle's sources said Strong was not at a team meeting Wednesday afternoon in Louisville.

Strong emerged as the Vols top choice this week and Biddle describes negotiations as a "high stakes poker game."

Tennessee offered and Louisville countered only to have the Volunteers come back with an even better package some time earlier Wednesday afternoon.


Athletic Director Dave Hart is reportedly flying to Louisville to meet his new head coach.

Strong led the Cardinals to a 10-2 season and a birth in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Watching the arkansas press conference for bielema was pretty damn funny.... don't know if they always do that for new coaches but the way they acknowledged his wife was awkward and you know what everybody in that room was thinking.

Also hilarious how much his wife looks like the one that caused their whole mess.

Jimbo apparently negotiating with FSU for a new contract. As if he has earned it.. he has years left on his deal and is making nearly $3m. If he signs a new deal make it a stipulation he has to hire an OC who isn't just a puppet.

I swear, Sexton is the best agent in the business.

The UL AD did say he'd make him the highest paid coach in the land. We'll see lols.

Read on Twitter that the numbers being thrown around would make Strong the third highest paid coach in college football.

strong was at the team meeting. this source is bunk.

Yeah, I'm seeing now that's he's going to meet with his players at 7:30am tomorrow morning, then the media at 8:00am after. Who knows. I just hope Fedora stays put lol.

So Alvarez might be coaching the Rose Bowl?

Hope this is first time Michael Jordan comeback from retirement and not second time.

I love Strong, but no way he deserves that if true. His coaching job at Louisville this year wasn't THAT impressive.

Well the Bielema PC is over, so I'm sure people around the state are ordering "BIELEMANIA" t-shirts or some shit. His wife is kinda hot so maybe he won't feel the need to buy a Harley.

He deleted that tweet and added in that UT had countered and Strong is thinking it over and will inform the team tomorrow. Which goes with the rumor today that UT gave him a mega offer. So I guess we will find out in the AM.

New tweet:
@JimmyHyams: 2 sources told me charlie strong told UT he's staying at louisville but UT has come back with huge counter. Strong to talk to team thurs am

"Again my source which I feel really reliable just said they are in a meeting right now. Said tj offered Charlie 4.5 and said that's it. We are done there. He said mayb we know something tonight. Said Charlie is just trying to get the best deal. Just sharing what I know and hope my source is on it. He is the only one I ask when there is something I think we really need to know. I think he still stays."

what does :jnc mean?

The poster jakncoke abused the :lol smilie a lot. When it was banned, he got pissed or something and just started image-linking the smilie over in over in a huge post or topic or multiple posts (can't quite remember). He got banned for that (not perma), and now everyone (actually, mostly just NFL-GAF) uses :jnc when they mean :lol.

Wait we offered 4.5? As in 4.5 million. What the fuck. I kind of want him to say no now. That is way too much money b

So if Tennessee doesn't get either of their targets, it looks like there's a decent chance that every SEC coaching pickup will be a fairly weak one. I don't see Malzahn getting it done at Auburn, nor Bielema at Arky. And I don't think anybody could save Kentucky.

and to think a couple of years ago no one wanted Strong as an HC. He interviewed for so many jobs and kept getting turned down.
