Pretty sure that Sumlin went to Houston

[MemphisPoke]

Yes you were right BarryRules. Took him off the Previous Post.

Houston
Resigned: Art Briles
Hired: Kevin Sumlin

The only two that surprise me are Briles to Baylor and Cutcliffe to Duke. Those guys have had some success...you'd think they could go to better programs. To me, it sounds like Houston is a MUCH better situation than Baylor. Sure, Baylor is in a BCS conference, but wow, they have so little history.

[MemphisPoke]

I may have spoke too soon on Duke although ALL indications are that it is David Cutcliffe's job.

Cutcliffe went to Ole Miss as their HC when he had Eli and after Eli it went down hill. But as an OC he has been good at U of Tenn. Was a fairly good recruiter over in that area so that may be why he is making that jump???

Who knows?

I have heard that Michigan is interested in cam cameron because the ad likes cam ,plus cam has some bob knight qualities . dont ask me what they are but i wouldnt think michigan would hire a coach who goes winless . they should look at the coach from W.V.

[BackHomePoke]

So Lester is not a canidate for Mich. anymore?;)

[BigBadBen]

I will not beleive that Miles isnt going to Michigan until some other coach is hired there.

That is exactly, word-for-word, the same thing I have told others who have expressed relief that Miles is "staying put". (I work with a bunch of LSU devotees :p ) LSU Tiger fans must be cousin-relatives of Sewerner fans...kool-aid drinkers one & all. :rolleyes:

Yep, I told my husband that this is the exact same thing he did to us: signed a new contract, said OSU was his home, and he wasn't leaving. Then BOOM!! bye-bye...

Here's a new addition for it:

Rich Rodriguez to Michigan

So now, we have West Virginia looking for a head coach...
