Miami may be targeting Oregon's Mario Cristobal https://twitter.com/AndySlater/statu...37509967593484

This one will be fun. No AD in place. Sitting head coach that didn’t resign. Everybody in the city is a cook in the kitchen for this one.

Spoke too soon. They just hired Clemson’s AD

Not sure what to make of this-my heart wants to believe CFL that no conversations with anyone have happened, and that no one could make this major of a coaching hhttps://www.si.com/college/oklahoma/football/oklahoma-planning-introductory-press-conference-for-new-head-coachire by Monday after waiting until tonight to start talking, so maybe they have settled on Matt Campbell etc...but my head reminds me that we have seen this show before here and elsewhere. #sosickofthisnonsense #gobearcatsbeateverybody

I hate auto(in)correct.

I think it would hurt more for him to leave for Oklahoma after we just watched the tidal wave crash from ND knowing his ties to the Midwest and I remember the feeling after 12 years ago. I actually don't remember thinking ahead of time that BK was going to leave, maybe that is a mental block on my part.

I've heard rumors that FIckell did not want to talk to anyone unitil after the season was over and that removed him from the shortlists of several schools that were in coaching search mode. Most of the those schools wanted to get a coach in place prior to the early Signing Day. How many of those may have contained serious offers for FIckell, I really don't know right now. I think if you're USC and ND you try and talk to him and I suspect they did.

As of right now I'm not worried about Oklahoma. Will they approach Luke? They probably should but I don't know that they will becuase they want to have someone in place after this weekend. If we were to lose today I'd worry about Oklahoma a little bit.

I think Luke and his family are happy here and his new agent is going to get him paid on the next round of contract negotiations. That money will come primarily from UCATS members and not from the AD budget. This is a good thing because the Big XII money hasn't started flowing yet.

Oh no, Fickell is going to the Detroit Lions. Before you get your panties in a bind, this was last year and he was not interested.

Not worried about Oregon. Luke is a mid-west guy. Plus, I can't see him leaving until after New Year's Eve, and most schools won't wait that long.

Adam Rittenberg/Chris Low of ESPN reporting Steve Addazio has been fired by Colorado State after two seasons. He was formerly at Boston College and was the coach when UC crushed them in the 2019 Birmingham Bowl. I believe Butch Jones may have been a CSU candidate before Addazio was hired.

Nevada's Jay Norvell to CSU
