And unsurprisingly so did Blake Corum (who did technically have another year of eligibility because of covid but was pretty much known he was going pro all season. And, you know, "business is finished.") 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on staff together at Indiana, and Kane knows the lay of the land down here really well. Has a lot of the recruiting connections that DeBoer will need.

Brian Fowler Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Although Michigan is, obviously, losing a ton of talent, there was some good news for the program. Safeties Rod Moore and Makari Paige, Edge Josiah Stewart, and RB Donovan Edwards all announced they are returning to Michigan for another year There's a ton of holes and questions on offense, but the defense has a hell of a lot coming back. Graham, Grant, Hausmann, Johnson, Sabb... Definitely got the talent to be one of the best in the country again (though I kinda suspect if Harbaugh leaves, Jesse Minter probably goes with him to the NFL.)

EVA Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The trickle down from Saban’s retirement has been brutal. And yet another clear example of why there need to be significant reforms in how the transfer portal works. Through no fault of their own, poor San Jose State and South Alabama now have to endure 30 days of open season on their roster, yet they’re not allowed to be active in the portal to help themselves until it re-opens after spring ball.

EVA Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Alabama is now hiring Buffalo HC Mo Linguist for another defensive assistant position. So there’s another small school thrown into turmoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 In future turmoil news, Ross Bork is leaving A&M to take the Ohio State AD job. So, congratulations Buckeye fans. You’re getting the guy responsible for Jimbo’s insane contract extension. And for whatever that Mark Stoops midnight deal was. Good luck with that. And now Ryan Day gets to hear he’s on the hot seat the first time he doesn’t win by three touchdowns. And Elko hears the same when our offense looks like crap in the spring game, as is tradition.

Yeah it's nuts. Especially if Fisch ends up getting some of his top players to go with him, etc. The domino of one guy retiring is insane. With Harbaugh still up in the air, it's possible 3/4s of the CFP field will have new head coaches next year. Which is pretty nuts. Off hand, I don't remember any team changing the head coach after being in the playoffs that season before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 South Alabama will be promoting offensive coordinator Major Applewhite to HC. Exactly what I figured would happen. He’s popular with the team, and as we’ve seen at the other jobs affected by Saban’s retirement, changing coaching staffs is a death wish right now. Promoting Major should preserve most of what’s expected to be a pretty good roster next season. Major was kind of a dud at Houston in his first go-round as the head man, so we’ll see what he’s learned since then. Whats funny is I’ve had some inklings that he might be on his way out at South, and now fate has handed him the big chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I just sighed and went "another guy failing upward." But I had forgotten that before TAMU he was the AD at Ole Miss who joined with Freeze in just flat out lying about what the NCAA allegations were in order to fool a recruiting class into signing their NLI and being locked in by the time the real news came out.

I'll admit, I mentioned Alabama players hitting the portal when Saban retired, but I didn't expect it to be this severe. They may be more depleted at DB by the portal than A&M was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Brock Lesnar opponent Shane Carwin graduated from there, ya know. When Mike Goldberg was giving out info on Shane Carwin, one of my first reactions was, "....he graduated from WHERE?" I refused to believe that was a real place of higher education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
