Liars Club

Sorry I haven't posted ina few days, there has been so much going on I have been trying to get my arms around everything. There is so much being said right now i will try and keep it simple. Shocker of the year to me is that Les Miles is staying. I and everyone else in the country have thought Les was gone to MIch for years.

Arkansas

Tommy in, Tommy Out. Tommy In, Tommy Out. I am told Tub plans to stay at Auburn. This cat and mouse game should be over by tomorrow. I am told this is way more interest on Tub's end than Arkansas. Not that Ark isnt interested but that Tub saw the opening as his chance to negotiate. You would think this guy would be thankfulr for what he has instead of being pissed Saban has a better contract. If TT goes to Ark will Al Borges make the move with him? Ark fans should hope not

Lane Kiffin - Still the only other name you hear besides Steve Sarkisian (who i am starting to hear some grumblings from USC folks) From what i hear Kiffin is the favorite. If i were Arkansas I'd go ahead and Tub's negotiations and hire Lane after the Raiders game this afternoon. Some hog fans have emailed me and said Kiffin was lazy, listen: you dont get to be a NFL head coach at his age by beng lazy, so lets go ahead and squash that now.

Bobby Petrino - i know there has been discussion i just dont know how much.

Gus Malzahn - hog fans keep emailing mee telling me Gus has a job somewhere but I don't know where. I

I commend Jeff Long for keeping the lid on this search and also for at least reaching out to African Americans Charlie Strong and I'm told Mike Singletary. There is also a good chacne Long could come out of left field with a hire noone is expecting.

Duke
Apprantly there is a struggle whether or not to give OBC Jr. the keys car. Most of the boosters want a proven commodity. I have to say Dukies i would take OBC Jr. over Steve Logan anyday.

Gary Crowton has shown some interest and would be a great fit for the Dukies.

Fred Jackson from Michigan would also be great hire. He has been talked to.


Georgia Tech

Randy Edsall said no thanks

SMU fans are biting their nails hoping Paul Johnson doesn't say please and thank you. I dont think Paul gets this job.

Someone told me last night Charlie Strong was a favored candidate but how can you overlook Tenuta for another DC. You can't.

Neuheisel has Billick endorsing him for this job.

Jimbo Fisher is who I would hire, and i know he has been talked to. jimbo you may wait forever on the old man to hang it up.


Houston

Michael Haywood - strong TX ties young smart and energetic. Does Houston want to remain a stepping stone or get some continuity with a guy like

Chan Gailey - TX ties, could enjoy one last huraah in Houston.

Dave Christensen - A hot commodity, he may want to take a job while Mizzou is hot, it wont last forever.

Kevin Sumlin - deserves a job somewhere. If eh doesnt get this he is in the mix to go with Pelini to Nebraska.


Michigan

Kirk Ferentz - i get the connection but don't think he will get the job

Greg Schiano - hearing he is really a candidate. IMO the best fit for this job

Jeff Tedford - supposed to interview this week.

Mark Dantonio - would he jump ship this quick? I would if i were him.


SMU

Nothing new on your end other than Duke and Georgia Tech talking to PJ. I think you are safe and Paul will be your man sooner than later. If not its gotta be Chan Gailey or Rick N. I just don;t think Fran is what you want or need. Marty Schottenheimer was talked to by Duke, maybe that is the ace up Orsini's sleeve? I still think its PJ

UCLA

Steve Mariucci - there is a name. This would be a great hire and should.
Milke Leach - he wants it but i am told isn't getting it
Chris Peterson - Does he have enough experience to fix the UCLA program
Rick Neuheisel - How dis his name come up for every job.
