ESPN: Vanderbilt rewards James Franklin

http://espn.go.com/c...-james-franklin

Wonder if KA regrets not promoting him?

Probably every time he thinks about the football program, though not too many people wanted Franklin to stick around, either.

I always suspected he had the makings of a decent Head Coach. Just never cared for him as an OC.

I guess he can't succeed Brian Kelly at Notre Dame anytime soon.

http://espn.go.com/c...-extension-2017

Not sure if he'll last this long, he's said before he doesn't want to be a figurehead coach in the mold of Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno in their later years.

Indianapolis Star Purdue football: Colorado believed to be frontrunner for Butch Jones

http://www.indystar....|IndyStar.com|s

Looks like Cincy is becoming the modern day Miami of Ohio. It's even less of a destination school since they got left out of the ACC and are essentially a mid-major.

Holy $***! Didn't see that coming. Yeah, I'd expect a big domino effect....Wisc has to be at the top of the list now for most attractive job opening.

Also Gus Malzahn is headed back to Auburn.

"Rick Pizzo of BTN reports that Bret Bielema knew at least two weeks ago that he was leaving Wisconsin. The news obviously just broke on Tuesday afternoon after a seemingly insignificant amount of rumors over the past week or so.

Rick Pizzo@BTNRickPizzo
#Badgers source also tells me #bretbielema knew at least two weeks ago that he was leaving, but was weighing "a couple" SEC schools.

"That would seemingly suggest Bielema might've been in play for the jobs at Auburn and Tennessee, though there could obviously be other possibilities.

"Bielema reportedly held a team meeting on Sunday to address the rumors, though it's unclear whether he told the team outright that he would be leaving. Either way, Pizzo's source says Bielema was "uncharacteristically emotional" during the meeting.

"Perhaps most surprisingly, Wisconsin Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez reportedly knew Bielema would be leaving prior to the end of the regular season."

Give credit to officials all around -- especially Jeff Long for not allowing leaks to a job as coveted as this one.

One of my friends is an UF alum absolutely despised him, i'll have to get his reaction.

This one surprising as well, didn't see his name on the short lists here.

And that Les Miles smokescreen was pretty clever.
