I don't see Notre Dame being interested in Fleck but I do see Michigan being interested. I think Notre Dame would make a beeline for Clark Lea, or maybe Tommy Rees. There would also be some chance of a reunion with Brian Kelly. And Freeman would have to leave ND, which I doubt he will do.

Maybe he did. I wasn’t watching closely just saw he didn’t have an IU offer listed on a couple sites

What about their transfer class ranks and retention of recruits? Recruiting class rankings alone have diminished as a measure of overall team talent. Recruiting class rank +/- net transfer balance from each year is probably a better measure

I think they passed on him, for the most part. Even though I believe he was the state's #1 recruit in his class. Certainly losing their touch with evaluating linemen under Fickell. Next up is Aytch who was #1 recruit in Indiana according to some sources, but Cignetti appears to have passed on...

This isn't really indicative of a program's issues but one man's poor judgement and ethics. The encounters were consensual and nothing was illegal until the break in and threats. The sign stealing racket was way worse from a program corruption standpoint. I would walk through either...

Why Jedd Fisch? He had one good year at Arizona but has a losing record as a head coach. Only has one year ten years ago with the program, among the vast number of jobs he’s held. Not really a midwest guy either. I guess people see that he’s held a job for almost 2 years and must be itching...

I admit I threw in $100 on a 2 cent Kalshi contract that Fleck gets the Michigan job In my shock and dismay and realization that the Michigan coach's affair destroyed the Gopher football program I would at least have $5000 as consolation I highly doubt they are getting Kalen DeBoer or want...

It's very common to be laid off without cause and continue to work for the company for weeks or even months. But usually HR is involved.

You are right that they are married, and he's also about 50 years older than she is. We were thinking of the same person.

It's not just a salary cap it's also revenue sharing, a draft system that gives the worst team the first picks, etc. While Ohio State isn't directly cutting us checks we're netting out to gain some of their revenues

Oh, that's bad too. But if he's gonna do it, pick absolutely anyone but his assistant at work. Lots of coaches have had affairs (ours is strongly rumored to have had one before) and haven't lost their jobs and created a massive national scandal on top of wrecking their home.

this is why these kinds of things are unfathomably stupid. You give her obvious leverage to destroy you unless you do everything she demands. There are a couple million women in the Ann Arbor - Detroit metro and he has to get involved with his direct report and put himself in blindingly...

The American professional sports system is one of the greatest examples of socialism working and creating a rising tide that lifted all boats. It made a bunch of players and owners far richer than they would if it was the same 3 rich teams contending every year and everyone else as feeder...

Girlfriend who's over 50 years younger, but yes it was him

The Gophers could be set up for a big run next season. The traditional powers on the schedule (Michigan and Penn State) are both going through coaching changes and are somewhat down. Michigan is a home game. There's iowa and a trip to Seattle. But no Oregon, Ohio State, USC, etc. 3 winnable...
