In his defense, most teams have been getting blown out by Indiana

A horrible place. The only redeeming place in Alabama is Huntsville.

I wonder if Freeze had to be “escorted” out of the building?

This is almost as good as a gopherholer going to the airport to do some investigating.

Gopher Gridiron guys ended the podcast with predicting who gets fired first, Jonathan Smith, Locksley or Fickell. They went with Smith (turns out it was Locksley). If Smith gets canned, I wonder if Rossi has any regrets? Maybe he gets interim?

Might be a good spot for him. He's been on staff there a couple of times.

MaxyJR1 · 2025-11-06T09:21:56-0600

Could see him in Colorado, Wisconsin or Michigan State if they open up.

He'd be the right hire for WI, but can they afford to can Fickell?

Not sure I'd want to deal with anyone Deion recruited to Colorado.

Fitz has been "vindicated" to an extent but does Michigan State go anywhere near him due to its recent history?

I would think that Wisconsin only bites the bullet on Fickell if they have an agreement in principal with the guy they want. Could be a guy Fitz. Your question is spot on: Do they have the resources to pay that buyout?

He actually didn't retire. He left for the NFL. A very well known NFL team called the Orlando Breakers.
