ESPN.com is reporting that Al Golden is about to accept the job.

Wow, I hadn't seen that one coming. I was expecting a "flashy" pick and Golden going to Pitt for a few years.

Wow, bad week for Temple. First they get snubbed for a bowl game after an 8-4 season, then they lose the coach who took their program off life support.

Yeah, I don't see Malzahn taking the Vandy job. That job is just a death trap. If I had to guess, I'd say that Malzahn gets a very nice raise at Auburn and takes a head coaching job in the next year or two. Although, I could see him going to Miami if they are smart enough to pursue him.

Washington Post is reporting that Malzahn is expected to accept the Vandy job.

Gus Malzahn, Auburn's offensive coordinator, is expected to be introduced as the next head coach at Vanderbilt as early as Monday, which means James Franklin, Maryland's offensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting, will remain in College Park barring an unforeseen turn of events, a source familiar with the search said Sunday.

...

Vanderbilt had reportedly offered Malzahn a contract that would pay him close to $3 million per year. He has verbally accepted the job, the source said, but had yet to sign a contract.

Yeah, I've seen those reports. That's alot of money to turn down. At best, he'd get about half that if he comes back to Auburn. The $3M is actually more than Chizik makes. I'm not going to be surprised either way, but I am surprised that Vandy is making that big of a commitment to its football program.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I know there's the temptation to take the money but does anyone really think that Vandy is going to make a serious investment in their football program? Stadium, Facilities, etc?

To think that not too long ago Malzahn was coaching high school ball.

Not that Malzahn hasn't earned his stripes at the college level, but he might still be a HS coach if Mitch Mustain wasn't the top QB recruit in the country a few years ago.

Yeah, I was thinking he would wait for a quality head coaching job, but that is alot of money. If it doesn't work out at Vandy, he can still go back to OC, and take the next job that comes along. End of the day, I think he stays at Auburn until a better HC job is offered.

Tebow and Meyer reunion?

I might be shocked, but I think Urban is done atleast until his kids get done with school. I am certain he will not be going to the NFL at this time. He is not willing to make the commitment at the college level so the NFL would be out of the question. He will probably turn back up down the road and ND would be a good bet 5 or 6 years down the road.

It appears you're right. ESPN reporting that he said no to Vandy.

      What is your takeaway from the Yankees series?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Just to add something that hasn't been discussed, their infield defense was awful. I don't think that is the norm for them, especially Volpe. I expect Judge and the defense to be better the next time we face them.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Yes, but what five years, as it's more-or-less inevitable that he'll be out roughly 18 months for UCL surgery. And perhaps a 2nd after that. What is are TJ surgery odds in any given season for someone that touches 102? 25%? 33%? Basallo has a fair shot at getting 8,000, 10,000 or more MLB plate appearances. Miller might not face 2000 batters before his arm is wrecked.

      That's fair - it was competitive and I was never relaxed during this series until we went up big on Rodon. For me at least, a lot of the nail-biting was about pitching questions, and we managed to dodge a few bullets there: -Grayson bounced back from his rough start to pitch well, despite going on the IL later. -Bradish came back and looked entirely like Bradish.  -Pitching a man (and a closer) short in the bullpen didn't hurt us as the lesser guys like Akin, Webb, and Baumann stepped up well.

      I think if things come together for the Yankees, they're close to, but not equal to, us. That's because they should have 2 HOFers in the middle of their order and one at the top of their rotation, plus a better bullpen. But we have deep depth. By September, 1-9 in the order should be a real threat to opposing teams. Burns, Bradish and Rodriguez as a top 3 can compete with anyone. Plus defense in most positions. I'd still take us, but my head isn't in the sand about how good things could be for them if things come together instead of fall apart.

      Everyone bit their nails for 4 days and now that we've come out on top 3-1 we shouldn't pretend like this series and the Yankees weren't competitive.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By LookinUp · Posted

      I agree that Miller would cost a lot in a trade. I also see his arm as a ticking time bomb. I don't agree that Basallo is anywhere near on the table for him. Based on that article posted earlier in this thread, guys I could see being interesting would include: Position Players: Bradfield, Horvath, Beavers, Fabian, Etzel, Willems, Tavera, Sosa, Liranzo, Arias, etc. Pitchers: a sweetener/headliner could include Bright, DeLeon, Weston, Chace, Sharkey (many here depending on the role in the trade) The point is that you could still put together a very attractive package for a team targeting 3+ years from now to win without including Basallo or any of our AAA guys.

      What was going on with him staring down Kremer on the HR? I've rarely if ever seen that, but then I dont exactly watch much baseball outside of the O's. It was a pretty in your face moment. Maybe Kremer brushed him back on some previous pitch I missed.
