Sounds like Major Applewhite wants the SMU job.
Right now I'm in a bit of an "anyone but HaLk" mode.

I heard Jon Embree is avaliable. He's not Hawk.
Either one would be great! I bet they learned a lot at CU. Tell SMU you're welcome!
Margin for error is now 1 more loss, I think.
Nope. And it's surprising to me. I was a big fan of his and thought that coming from SDSU, his connection to SoCal would benefit us, so I was hoping that we might hire him. I haven't been following Michigan closely, so I'm not sure what issues they have except that they look like they are playing a DT at QB.

Their oline isn't very good for one, they have always been strong there.
Hoke has been there long enough so that this can't be pinned on Rich Rod, either. I have to say I'm surprised at what's going on with UM. I thought they found a good one with Brady Hoke.
With highly possible openings at Miami and Michigan, I'm sure Todd Graham is reconsidering his "dream" school as we speak.

I think Hoke's margin is gone and he is a dead man walking.

Not to mention Butch Jones.
Not yet. Once Michigan is removed from the ability to compete for the B1G conference championship, then he is doomed. Michigan can still hypothetically go 12-2. Winning cures all. With that said, there is no way that happens.

They aren't going 12-2, hypothetically or not. He's in trouble. I'd be shocked if they had that record season's end.

I think Hoke is certainly done barring a miracle finish (Beat Ohio State and Mich St. ) - The natives are very restless in Michigan.
LSU still has Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M on the road and Bama at home. They could lose 3 out of 4 of these.
8-4 records don't go over well in Baton Rouge.
Judging by the way they played against MSU, there may not be 8 wins on their schedule. Although with the kind of talent they have, they ought to win a lot more than they lose.
depends on which QB they end up playing - the freshman is the one that needs to be playing
however their defense isn't typical LSU style defense we have seen in the past-
...and the world rejoices, after a lengthy fit of belly laughing.

LSU should be careful here. Getting greedy rarely ends well. One or two bad hires and you're at the bottom of a good conference in a hurry.

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
It's still 1b to Ohio State. But Michigan has definitely fallen from the elites of today.
Florida is a top 5 job.

i was in Norman, OK last weekend and the rumor was SMU interested in Josh Heupel (OC at OU) or Graham Harrell (OC at Tech).

not sure i agree. Bama, Texas, OU, Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame....all better imo....top 10, sure. top 5, dunno. right there with LSU and Oregon (now) in that tier....with Michigan, possibly ATM....but, forgive me...i don't really believe in ATM long term and think the jury is still out on Sumlin. he inherited Art Briles guys at Houston and was the #2 OC at OU (Kevin Wilson called the plays).....

Hoke gets fired. Miles loses 4-5 games. Miles hired by Michigan. You heard it here first.:lol:

IMO Texas, Ohio state and USC are comparable Athletic department wise.
Football wise Alabama and Oklahoma also compare.

Bama and Oklahoma are better football HC jobs. absurd to suggest otherwise. OU will have to make a good hire after Stoops here pretty soon, and that is easier said than done. UF is on the outside looking-in as far as the top 5. "comparable" seems like a foolishness to me.
UF got some favorable calls to beat Kentucky at home and gave up their most yardage ever last week. Kentucky, a team that's SEC identity is "better than Vanderbilt, most of the time". which is to say, every day Muschamp outlasts an easy SEC East schedule....means that the prestige of the UF job drops. seems. and historically, UF can't sniff Bama or the Okies jock.

Depends on how we view it, I guess, but I'd rather be sitting on top of all that Florida talent than being at modern day Notre Dame. You're more likely to bag a couple national championships at Florida in 2014 than you are at Notre Dame. I'm not sure I wouldn't view it over OU and OSU, also.. but that's tough. OU has a nice set up in this current Big XII to make the playoff quite often. I really think the B1G 10 may fade over coming decades due to demographics. I'd certainly rather be in a place like UF where the talent you sit on top of gets better and better each year as opposed to a place like Michigan where population is plummeting. Obviously these brand name programs can go national -- I'm hardly implying Michigan will turn into Akron, but I do think it will make things more challenging.
