Cristobal just signed a top 10 class at Oregon and his buyout is $10M for the next month, and then drops to $8M. Don't see it happening.

It was announced this evening that Houston fired Applewhite. He has $1.8 remaining on his contract. No mention of possible hires.

UCLA just fired their basketball coach for losing to liberty

They fired him for losing to just about every decent team they have played this year. Their best win was a mediocre Notre Dame team. Liberty was just the final straw.

Dayum.

After an 18-day stint as Temple’s head coach, Diaz will return to his home town as Miami’s head coach.

The AP’s Tim Reynolds was the first to report the Diaz hiring was done.

The Richt retirement came at an obviously inconvenient time for Miami and its new head coach, given Diaz had taken another job and promptly signed 17 future Temple Owls who are now without a head coach. As a parting gift, Miami will pay Temple a $4 million buyout to pry Diaz out of his the-ink-is-still-drying contract.

Those ethical hurdles aside, the Miami job is Diaz’s dream gig, & dream jobs don’t come open every day.

With Diaz now gone, Temple has now lost five head coaches to Power 5 jobs this decade — two of them to Miami. Al Golden left Philadelphia for South Beach after the 2010 season. Golden’s 2015 firing set the wheels in motion for Miami to hire Richt, who brought Diaz aboard as his defensive coordinator.

Report: Kliff Kingsbury has turned down “a lucrative offer” at Houston

With the head coaching job at Houston officially opening yesterday, all signs pointed to it being a head coaching search that would move fast.

On Saturday we shared, via sources, that Houston was evaluating replacing Major Applewhite and considering bringing back former UH offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen to get things back on track in H-Town.

It is our understanding that Dana has been the focus of this search since before it was officially open, and he remains Houston’s primary target.

With that said, a tweet (below) late last night from Brett McMurphy states that “a lucrative offer” was made to former Texas Tech head coach turned USC offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, but Kingsbury has opted to stay in Southern Cal. Was the reported “lucrative offer” a meeting with Tilman Fertitta and squad from UH followed up by deep negotiations? Or was this just a phone call asking if he was interested in the job? That remains unclear.

......Just guessing that Houston would be the next G5 in the country to go P5 and guessing Big 12......really guessing because of geography.....what other G5’s might have a P5 chance and where and why.....of course this leads to Louisiana and what would be the rallying points to any chance......I would mention the areas would be academic, endowment, enrollment, facilities, Budget, and some that others could point out————-so I venture needed areas in these points.....Academically to rise to the highest levels in all rating services, to get a med school like Monroe, to continue to push our existing high salaried majors.....endowment needed to keep growing and greatly dominating all other La schools except LSU......maybe lower standards like LSU to get the numbers and a student athletic fee and possibly add all juco area students as UL dual enrollments (freakonomics) and on line max out.....continue to beautify campus and complete athletic needs with Cajun area residential and business rentals.....Budget growth from athletic fees, rentals, season ticket sales, Rcaf, and out of the box sources!11

They definitely are on the shortlist for P5 status with a few other AAC and MWC programs.

Monroe does not have a med school boomer. Monroe leases space to a med school. So no, we don't need to get a med school like Monroe.

ULM is performing a community service, and raising perception in the process.

No one asks the how whose and wherefores.
