Huff nominated too... 🤘

Nick Saban, Urban Meyer highlight College Football Hall of Fame ballot

Two of the greatest coaches of all time will enter the College Football Hall of Fame together next year.

ZACH BARNETT       1 HOUR AGO

The two best coaches of their era will almost certainly enter the College Football Hall of Fame together.  The National Football Foundation announced the ballot for the 2025 Hall of Fame class, highlighted by first-timers Nick Saban and Urban Meyer.

Meyer, 59, attained eligibility by being now three seasons removed from coaching, while Saban, 72, gained immediate eligibility upon retirement by being over 70. Active coaches become Hall of Fame eligible at 75. Coaches must serve as a head coach for at least 10 full seasons and win at least 60 percent of their games to make the ballot. 

Saban is the undisputed greatest coach in the history of the sport, with seven national championships all won in the Championship Era, a more difficult era to attain and maintain greatness. He went 9-2 with a shared MAC championship at Toledo in 1990; 34-24-1 with one AP Top 10 finish from 1995-99 at Michigan State; 48-16 with one national championship, two SEC championships and two AP Top 10 finishes from 2000-04 at LSU; and 201-29 with 11 SEC championships, six national championships and a run of 16 consecutive AP Top 10 finishes from 2007-23 at Alabama.

Meyer's .858 career winning percentage surpassed Saban's career .804 mark, and he completed his 17-year head coaching career with more seasons (9) inside the AP Top 5 than not (8) -- and that includes four seasons at Bowling Green and Utah, plus a 10th season in which his team finished AP No. 6. In all, Meyer went 17-6 from 2001-02 at Bowling Green; 22-2 with two Mountain West championships and one AP Top 5 ranking from 2003-04 at Utah; 65-15 with two SEC championships, two national championships, and three AP Top 5 finishes from 2005-10 at Florida; and 83-9 with three Big Ten championships, one national championship, and five AP Top 5 and six AP Top 10 finishes from 2012-18 at Ohio State.

Larry Blakeney (Troy), Jim Carlen (West Virginia, Texas Tech, South Carolina), Pete Cawthorn, Sr. (Texas Tech, Austin College), Larry Coker (Miami, UTSA), Ralph Friedgen (Maryland), Darryl Rogers (Cal State East Bay, Fresno State, San Jose State, Michigan State, Arizona State), and Tommy Tuberville (Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas Tech, Cincinnati) and 34 divisional coaches were also nominated for the inclusion in the 2025 class. 

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, Purdue offensive coordinator Graham Harrell, Texas assistant director of player development Michael Huff, Ohio State linebackers coach James Laurinaitis, and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore were also nominated for their exploits as players. 

The 2025 class will be announced early next year and be inducted Dec. 9, 2025, at the 67th Annual NFF Dinner in Las Vegas. Two coaches per class enter the Hall, so Senator Tuberville and others will almost certainly have to wait until 2026 for their short at immortality. 

The Hall of Fame is selected by the National Football Foundation Honors Court, with input from NFF membership. All members are eligible to cast a ballot, but ballots are due July 1.

Ohio State selling tickets to preseason practices... for $50 a pop

Buckeye fans can see an actual game for around the same price point, but these tickets offer something beyond a chance to see the team.

ZACH BARNETT         4 HOURS AGO

Ohio State is opening up the first four practices of training camp to the public... or, at least a certain section of the public. In reality, Ohio State is opening up practices to the portion of the public willing to pay $50 to watch their favorite team practice.

That's how much Ohio State will charge to watch its practices from Aug. 1-4. That $50 also buys fans "a pair of commemorative 2024 Ohio State training camp sunglasses" and access to the "family-friendly Fanfest." The Buckeyes will sell 750 tickets to each practice, with a limit of 10 tickets per order.

While I have no doubt Ohio State will sell all 3,000 tickets available to the four practices, I have to question the sanity of those purchasing at such a value. Tickets to the spring game went for as low as $10, and as of this writing tickets to all three non-conference games -- Akron, Western Michigan, and Marshall -- can be had for around $50 (plus fees).

But, those games, while offering the opportunity to see Ohio State play a competitive game against another opponent, do not come with a complimentary pair of commemorative training camp sunglasses. So, point training camp.

Of course, the real selling point here is that Ohio State offers not just access, but ownership. Per Eleven Warriors, the tickets are being sold by Ohio State Sports Properties, not the Ohio State athletics department, with proceeds benefitting the Buckeyes' NIL efforts. In an age where fans are asked to fund a team's payroll and programs can't get directly involved (at least not yet), a common tactic has been for teams to sell access through a third party. 

For fans looking for more exclusive access, Ohio State also offers access to the Ryan Day Kickoff Luncheon, which includes remarks from Day and a Q&A with the coaching staff. A table for eight can be had for the low price of $2,500.

Utah announces plan for when Kyle Whittingham steps away -- Scalley has been officially named head-coach-in-waiting

DOUG SAMUELS    JUL 1, 2024

Kyle Whittingham has built one of the most consistent and successful college football programs in the country at Utah over the past two decades.

The longtime leader of the Utes is set to turn 65 in November, and the program formally has a plan in place for when he decides to step away from the game.

Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley, who enters his 17th season with the program this fall, has been named head-coach-in-waiting to succeed Willingham.

Athletic director Mark Harlan shared the following in the school's release:

"Coach Whittingham has built Utah Football into one of the nation's elite programs through a strong culture, tradition and exceptional student-athletes, and he has been clear about his intentions of continuing to lead this incredible Utah Football program as we move into the Big 12 Conference and into the new expanded College Football Playoff. However, we must plan for the future, and Coach Whittingham and I both strongly believe that that future lies with . Morgan has played a critical role in our success through his embodiment of our core values and his leadership, and I have witnessed first hand his growth as a coach and as a person over the last several years. He is an elite coach who has been trained by the best – Coach Whittingham – and whenever it is time for Morgan to take the helm, I have no doubt that our program will continue to have success."

There is no set timetable for Whittingham to leave, but the head-coach-in-waiting title for Scalley ensures that there is a plan in place for when that day comes.

It marks the second time that Scalley has been tabbed as the next leader of the program, but the honor was rescinded following an external investigation into a use of a racial slur in a text back in 2020.

Scalley will make at least $5 million per year as head coach, a report from Pete Thamel adds.  

This fall, Scalley will make $2 million as one of the highest paid coordinators in college football. Last fall he made $1.5 million.

Mario Cristobal and Miami reportedly make a pair of hires

DOUG SAMUELS      

Mario Cristobal has made a few important additions to his support staff in Coral Gables, according to reports tonight.

Arizona State director of scouting DeVontay Love-Taylor is set to join the staff as assistant director of player personnel, according to 247.

Taking the 'Canes job marks a return to The Sunshine State for the Florida native and former Florida State team captain who earned All-ACC honors as a player.

247 also adds that UAB personnel director Jacob Lucas is returning to the Hurricanes staff.

His role is set to be coordinator of scouting administration.

For Trent Dilfer at UAB, Lucas served as player personnel coordinator for offense.

Lucas worked on the recruiting staff at Miami prior to leaving for UAB.

The additions on the support staff come as Mario Cristobal enters a critical third season at his alma mater, and the first two seasons have culminated in a 12-13 overall mark (5-7 year 1 and 7-6 year 2).

Kyle Whittingham comments on his Utah future

Recently, Utah officials revealed that defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley's new contract was drafted to position Scalley as Whittingham's heir apparent.

If not, the Utes would owe Scalley millions of dollars.

Though Whittingham initially told assembled reporters at Big 12 Conference media days Tuesday in Las Vegas that he feels "like I've got a lot of energy right now," he also hinted at the potential timeline as he wrapped up his session.

As Whittingham talked about Utah's overall success in contests it had played in Las Vegas, he noted that the program scheduled its 2027 season-opener against Miami there inside Allegiant Stadium.

"We're going to open here in '27 against the Miami Hurricanes," Whittingham said. "I probably won't be sitting here [as head coach], but somebody will be, and that's going to be a great opportunity again to come to Vegas and play a game."

Crazy that this article came out last week...

Troy Calhoun says this coach has more influence on West Coast football than anyone in the 21st century

And it's not Pete Carroll, Chip Kelly or Chris Petersen.

ZACH BARNETT         JUL 12, 2024

Quick: Who would you say the most influential figure in West Coast football has been since the turn of the century?

My mind immediately goes to Pete Carroll. His 82-9 run at USC from 2002-08 with seven straight Pac-10 championships, seven straight AP top-4 finishes, seven straight BCS bowl appearances and two national championships is unlikely to be duplicated any time soon. With three Heisman Trophy winners in four years and a billion first-round draft picks, this was USC at its absolute most cool.

The other figure that comes to mind is Chip Kelly. His 6-year run as Oregon's offensive coordinator and head coach saw the Ducks go 65-14, and the teams he built went 24-4 in 2013-14 under Mark Helfrich. His up-tempo version of the power spread was legitimately revolutionary, as teams across the game lined up in an attempt to go as fast as Kelly's Ducks. 

A third option here is Chris Petersen. Pete was not the patriarch of Boise State's rise, but he did oversee the Broncos at the zenith of their popularity and brought Washington football all the way back. A 147-38 record, all of it west of the Rockies, speaks for itself. 

A dark answer would be Larry Scott. The death of the Pac-12 wasn't a one-man show, but no one did more to kill the premier West Coast athletic conference than its former commissioner.

However, Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun has his own answer. 

The 57-year-old who played quarterback at Air Force and is now on the brink of his 18th season as the Falcons head coach argued for a current Mountain West head coach.

"Nobody's had more influence on West Coast football this century than Jeff Tedford. I think it's absolutely astounding what he's done -- as a quarterback coach, as an offensive coordinator, as a head coach. I mean really, you don't think we don't look back and wonder, what in the world? The job he did at Cal, the job that he's done at Fresno State. And honestly, nobody had more to do with the elevation of Oregon -- except for Phil Knight -- than maybe Jeff Tedford."

The 62-year-old Tedford has spent all but one year of his adult life in the western portion of North America, bouncing between the WAC/Mountain West, the Pac-12 and the Canadian Football League. 

The West Coast's has long been known as a breeding ground for quarterbacks and the evolution of the passing game in general, and Tedford more than carries his weight there. He's coached five first-round QBs in Trent Dilfer, Akili Smith, Joey Harrington, Kyle Boller and Aaron Rodgers, and recruited a sixth in eventual No. 1 pick Jared Goff. 

His 11-year run as Cal's head coach saw heights unlikely to be matched, with a 10-1 regular season with Rodgers under center in 2004, a Pac-10 co-championship in 2006, and a No. 2 ranking in 2007. (Seriously, when's the next time Cal football is going to be ranked No. 2 in the country?)

Tedford went 26-14 with two division championships, one MW championship and an AP No. 18 finish from 2017-19 at Fresno State, took two seasons off due to health concerns, and then resumed the job in 2022, where he's gone 18-8 with another MW championship and AP top-25 finish over the past two campaigns. 

Fresno State has finished in the AP Top 25 twice in the last 20 seasons -- both of them under Tedford.

Tedford even played a part in Chris Peterson's best season at Washington, serving as an offensive consultant for a Huskies team that won the Pac-12 and reached the College Football Playoff.

The Oregon argument is... interesting. 

Mike Bellotti would undoubtedly argue he is the most influential non-billionaire in Oregon's rise given that he won 116 games as the Ducks' head coach from 1995-08 and hired both Tedford and Kelly, but Oregon's identity as a team that pushes the stylistic envelope (schematically and aesthetically) came to be in 2001, with Harrington gunslinging while dressed like this. 

Oregon of 2024 is an evolved version of the program it was in 2001, and Oregon would not have been what it was in 2001 without Jeff Tedford.

That written, I'm still not sure I'd go as far as Calhoun does in arguing for his colleague, but I respect the argument nonetheless. 

Calhoun can share his respect for Tedford face-to-face when Air Force hosts Fresno State on Nov. 9.

ACC Tiers: Miami, Clemson, Florida St. and then WHO? | Always College Football

 

They keep mentioning Miami, who hasn't done shit with Cristobal. Why? Are they hanging on to hope that he won't go full regard?

It should just be Florida State and Clemson, and then who? I'd almost bet SMU has more wins than Miami at the end of the season.

Not sure why graphic has Mizzu with #10 on it while Mizzu sits in #15 spot??

Preseason polls are such a crapshoot.  Mizzu might end up being a top 10 team.  Not sure FSU and Lsu should be top 10.  Also, no clue about ND at #7.

Utah seems like a good pick to win B12.

Utah or K state to win the B12. I did wonder why Mizzu was lower than I thought. But I didn’t look at the numbers, just the graphic.

Aggy at 13 is fucking laughable. What have they done other than hire Duke's coach? Their defense has no depth, their o-line is hot shit, their WR's are bad, and their QB has never played more than 8 games in 3 years.

Their roller coaster is as bad, maybe worse, than aggy. They also have nothing to really fall back on, save a division title when they first joined. The tears are sweet.

DeBoer left a shitshow behind at Washington

Screenshot_20240802-054959_kindlephoto-3691544.png.e7eb56ed0b4ffafb162d8689f0739f29.png

Jedd Fisch leads a Washington program that is wearing the clothes of a defending national runner-up, but at its core is an expansion team.

ZACH BARNETT        20 HOURS AGO

Imagine the NFL launches an expansion team beginning this fall, and that team uses the logos, facilities and records of the defending Super Bowl runner-up San Francisco 49ers. That's not an exact 1-to-1 similarity of what's happened at Washington, but it's close, and the evidence was in a FedEx truck leaving the Huskies' football offices on Monday.

New Head Husky Jedd Fisch tweeted that Washington shipped out 66 sets of rings to former members of the team that have since moved on to the NFL, to Alabama, or to a new phase of life since their run to the College Football Playoff championship game.

As FootballScoop detailed in between Washington's Sugar Bowl victory over Texas and their eventual loss to Michigan in the title game, that Husky team was a veteran group even by the unique standards transfer portal and extra-covid-year era. Of their 22 starters, one -- one! -- starter left high school after 2020. Those Huskies started seven members of the high school class of 2020, seven from 2019, and seven more from 2018. Nine of Washington's 11 defensive starters were fifth- or sixth-year players. 

So it follows that the NFL's talent evaluation industry was infatuated with Washington. Ten Huskies heard their names called in April's draft but, by our Selection Points formula, Washington had the best NFL Draft in college football. 

And then there's the huge and obvious extenuating factor, the one that led to Fisch sending that tweet in the first place: Kalen DeBoer taking the Alabama job. Fisch brought in his own staff, and as a result Washington enters 2024 with an entirely new coaching staff.

2023 Washington Staff: Current Staff
Kalen DeBoer (HC): Alabama
Lee Marks (AHC/RBs): Memphis
Ryan Grubb (OC): Seattle Seahawks, via Alabama
William Inge (co-DC): Tennessee
Chuck Morrell (co-DC): Alabama
Eric Schmidt (STC): San Diego State
JaMarcus Shephard (PGC/WRs): Alabama
Scott Huff (OL): Seattle Seahawks, via Alabama
Nick Sheridan (TEs): Alabama
Julius Brown (CBs): TCU
Inoke Breckterfield (DL): Baylor

DeBoer's departure didn't just force his staff to scatter. Washington lost 30 transfers, according to the 247Sports database, including a contingent of four Huskies that followed DeBoer and co. to Tuscaloosa, led by center Parker Brailsford -- the lone Washington starter in his first, second or third year of college football. 

Add in that the defending Pac-12 champions no longer have a conference championship to defend, and it's a completely unprecedented situation in this sport that's now into the second half of its second century of existence.

"We had to build a culture with a bunch of guys that have never really started or played in games together that were very meaningful. We had to teach them what we would expect on a daily basis. They've embraced it. They've worked extremely hard together. They found a way to really open up their arms and embrace all the different type of players we brought in from all the different communities," Fisch said at Big Ten media days. 

"So our culture is that. It's a culture of belonging. It's a culture of inclusiveness, and it's a culture of wanting to make sure that, if we act and behave in a certain manner, that we understand that we can have a lot of fun competing."

Fisch and his staff had to build an entirely new culture, because the old culture shipped out on a FedEx truck.

Agiye Hall Has Officially Ruined His Career

2 days agokinda feel uck it 

 

Yeah, like a lot of us (I think), I kinda sorta feel bad for this young man... but as the author of this vid says, he has had every opportunity basically handed to him on a silver platter and all he's done is shit on everything in sight, including himself. It really seems that his mental capacities may be in direct inverse to his physical ones. It's difficult to imagine any NFL team offering him a chance, but if one was desperate enough for a WR to let him try, it seems like he would fuck it up out of sheer stupidity. 

 

Oh, and I dunno what legal weed sells for in  CA, but the last time I bought some in Colorado, it was $35 for an eighth, which is roughly $180,000.  I gotta wonder where he got that kind of investment capital and/or who'd be dumb enough to front it.

Illinois will wear hand-painted "leather" helmets this season

 

To honor Red Grange's 6-touchdown game, the Illini have found a way to bring back the leather helmets.

Look for these to hit the field October 19th when the Wolverines visit the Illini in Champaign.
