Clinton?

Cigars?

Cigars?

Those two together would turn this site upside down.

I wonder if Penworm whined about Bill introducing young Monica to the evils of tabacco? Somehow I think not.

Who knew that the cigars were really a tribute to the Clintons and not winning a championship.

Reports: Mike Locksley will be Maryland’s head coach

Alabama offensive coordinator Mike Locksley will be the new head coach at Maryland sources tell FootballScoop.

Brett McMurphy was first to report the hire (below).

Heck of a day for Locks, who won the Broyles Award earlier today.

Locksley is in his third season on Nick Saban’s staff and first as offensive coordinator.

Locksley arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2016 as an offensive analyst after the Maryland staff, where he was offensive coordinator, was swept out with Randy Edsall’s firing. After one year on the support staff, Locksley was promoted to co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach in 2017 and then to the Tide’s sole offensive coordinator in 2018, where he has directed the most explosive offense in program history.

Footballscoop:

Sterlin Gilbert will be the next McNeese State head coach, sources told FootballScoop on Wednesday barring any unforeseen issues.

Gilbert was also a candidate for the Texas State job, which ultimately went to West Virginia offensive coordinator Jake Spavital.

Gilbert has spent the past two seasons as the offensive coordinator at South Florida, and prior to that spent a season with Charlie Strong at Texas in the same capacity.

A product of the Art Briles coaching tree, Gilbert coordinated offenses for former Briles assistant Dino Babers at Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green and for longtime Briles lieutenant Philip Montgomery at Tulsa before joining Strong in Austin in 2016.

Dang, that explains my house shaking. The earth must have open up in Lake Charles given they went outside McNeese roots and even the SLC.

Wonder if they contacted Leger?

If they did, his loyalty should make all Cajuns proud. May his son have the year he deserves and has earned in 2019.

Don’t know. Obviously Gilbert wanted a HC gig. McNeese didn’t have a lot of money to work with, so God only knows how those stars aligned.

McNeese might finally see the light. This hire is outside the SLC/McNeese ties, which has been their chosen path for decades. Win or lose, breaking that hiring tradition may be a selling point or breaking point with supporters.

If you go by USF fans reactions, you'd swear Gilbert wasn't going to be their OC next year. They are all rejoicing that he's leaving

They went outside the family for their basketball hire as well. And, for that matter, their AD hire.
