Coaching Rumors: GT, Auburn, Michigan, etc.

Quick look around before heading to bed:
  • Tuberville is making the Auburn faithful a little restless with his rumored flirting with Arkansas. Tubs is originally from the State of Arkansas. The new Hawg athletic director has outlined his plan for their search. If he bolted, Auburn would look to Petrino, but he currently makes $4.8 million per year to coach the Falcons. Would he really take a $1.8 million (or more) pay cut to lead the Tigers?

  • New Orleans papers and the Associated Press are reporting that Michigan has received permission to speak with Les Miles. Not all Wolverine bloggers are excited about having Miles in Ann Arbor. What's not to like? Who wouldn't want a whack job who wastes top talent running their program? FanBlogs asks if Jeff Tedford should be a bigger part of the search.

  • Georgia Tech's big rumored name? Rick Neuheisel. I mean seriously. If you're going to get mad when we say Tech Lies and Cheats, don't go out and hire a two or three time NCAA offender. That's just like shooting fish in a barrel. He's also a candidate at SMU, UCLA and Arkansas. I'd like to see them end up with David Cutcliff or Randy Edsall. Barring Archie Manning having any more kids, I think Cutcliff's recruiting would be their final undoing. Interestingly both GSU and Navy say that Tech hasn't asked for permission to talk with Paul Johnson or Chris Hatcher.

  • Nebraska has asked for permission to interview Cincinnati's Brian Kelly. He's also one of the candidates for the Michigan job if The Hat turns them down.

  • Duke - I personally think they end up with Steve Spurrier, Jr, but I'm too lazy to go looking for a link for that. I just think that's who I'd hire if it was me.
