Who’s going to be the Penn state coach? What are you talking about. Penn State doesn’t have a football team, they never have, it’s absurd that everyone’s worried about who they’ll hire for a job that has never existed
Sources: Jeff Brohm has turned down overtures from Penn State to remain at Louisville. He and the Louisville administration continue to work on new contract terms that should be finalized in the near future.

One small mistake in this episode, the UMass OC is actually Mike Bajakian. Who is the guy Fitz hired to replace Mick McCall when he was finally fired after approximately 1000 years, and who was JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE!
You come at the Cookie Man, you best not miss

- We are all in on Winning The Press Conference as our hire evaluation metric. This sport is pro wrestling and will be treated as such
- We talk about Pat Fitzgerald more than any other hire. I'm sure that's a good sign for Michigan State
- Hot dog rave

UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE: we are prepared to make you a lucrative eight figure offer to come be the head ball coach here at Massive State University, enrollment 70,000

Believe it or not, YOU are the next head football coach at Penn State. Pack your bags, you’re going to State College tonight.

They’re gonna sign a 2B and then try to trade Schmitty or Fitzy and have no-one bite, then be stuck with three 2Bs and no pitching

They’re calling it one of the hires of all time
Pat Fitzgerald to Michigan State is now official.

News conference at 3 ET Tuesday:

Fitz: “We will restore tradition, and I’m eager to earn the trust of our players, alumni, and fans while competing at the highest level.”

Guy who hates private equity not for all the normal reasons, but because it prevented his favorite baseball team from signing cool and good players

I’m gonna be so mad if Imai signs elsewhere and goes on to underperform, and then ownership gets to be really smug about being cheap fucks

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the Giants aren’t competing with the Dodgers, despite sharing a division. They don’t want to be the Dodgers. The Giants want to be the Cubs. They want to use their highly profitable big market sports team to fund real estate endeavors.

Even beyond that, the last few years have provided proof that Fitz wasn’t the only Very Special Boy that could win games at northwestern.

And man, even when NU was winning, that offense was UNWATCHABLE
I seriously have no idea why you’d hire Pat Fitzgerald. He wasn’t a playcaller or strategic mind, his whole schtick was selling Northwestern Culture because he played there, and then it turns out that culture featured a brutal atmosphere of sexual hazing

we really gotta do something about cops who were fired for disciplinary reasons finding work in neighboring jurisdictions like nothing happened

Do it Fitz, hire Mike Bajakian again

Just drove past Stanford Stadium and could barely hear myself think over the chants of “Tavita” ringing through the streets of Palo Alto
SOURCES: Stanford is set to hire Washington Commanders QBs coach Tavita Pritchard as its next head coach.

Pritchard once lost his starting QB job to Andrew Luck at Stanford. Now Luck hires him for the head job at Stanford.

ESPN first.

So did Schill resign because he disagreed with the board on whether or not to pay the bribe?
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

Full statement from NU below:

Thankful for a lot in my life, but I sure would be most thankful for the San Francisco Giants resigned free agent RHP Tyler Rogers

Why doesn’t buster posey simply beat the other members of ownership into submission so they will actually spend the money to sign him
