Hey Grumbles,

Thoughts

Michigan defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin will be the next head coach at Maryland, according to several reports.

Durkin, 37, has a stellar resume as a defensive assistant. He's worked with Jim Harbaugh at both Stanford and Michigan, and Urban Meyer and Will Muschamp at Florida. He served as Florida's interim for the Birmingham Bowl following the 2014 season and led the Gators to a 28-20 win over East Carolina.

Michigan currently ranks fourth nationally in total defense.

He's only 37.  He could have waited for a better job.  He kinda pissed off a lot of Michigan fans by interviewing and whatnot during the week he was supposed to be getting the team ready for The Game, and then his defense stunk up the place, but I think that he wasn't in control of the timing.

I think Maryland would have been better off getting an offensive guy.  Their offense is offensive.

But for the first time in a long time, Miami has a really solid head coach. Things should get better.

Will Richt be bringing the rest of the 1982 Miami QBs with him?

Is #1 Bernie Kosar? If so, he was on the Board of Trustees for UM.

Realistically, he could bring in Ken Dorsey as OC, who is the Carolina Panthers QB Coach.

Is #1 Bernie Kosar? If so, he was on the Board of Trustees for UM.

Yeah. Vinny Testaverde is #18 (I guess he changed to #14 later), Jim Kelly is #12, and Richt is #9.

No idea who #13 is.

Some people consider that the greatest College Football QB depth chart of all time. So of course UM went 7-4.

Google says Kyle Vanderwende is his name.

That is pretty amazing.

Who would have guessed that Mark Richt would make the most money out of football when all was said and done?

Living in Atlanta, I sometimes listen to the Mark Richt radio shows, and once a caller asked him his greatest athletic disappointment. He said he had a goal to bench 300, and he was really close, I think he mentioned an odd number like 298 that was really close but not quite there, but never could get 300 up.

Texas just upset Baylor in Waco. The biggest upset win in Texas history. Beat OU earlier this year which is now the 3rd biggest upset win ever.

The upset that is sandwiched these two wins is the 1996 Big 12 title game against Nebraska.

Hell how many of the teams in the playoff have two top 12 wins? What a weird freaking season.

We're going to have 3 5-7 teams in bowl games this season. 

[Admiral Yi]

Hawkeyes lose!  Hawkeyes lose!

Pretty dull game.  Gus Johnson gamely tried to sell it as a pitcher's duel.

Pretty dull game. 

yeah it actually put me to sleep.

So glad Texas is not one of them. Too much work to do this offseason for the toilet bowl.

Anyway that McCaffery kid seems like he is pretty good.

Well, he's really good.  His brother Max plays for Duke, and he's just pretty good.  As a player, Christian isn't really much like their dad, but Max is really similar to Ed, but not quite as good.

I declare this season a good one. We've beaten the gators soundly. We've beaten Miami. We should beat them both again next year. The sun shines on Tallahassee.
