OK, so does that give everybody the INDICATION that we don't need TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE NFL SEASON to get a coach from the NFL????
:roll:

Oh, yeah, someone will inevitably throw out other lame excuses like "But the playoffs...blah, blah, blah..."

So when does he report for duty?

John Clayton reported the story and said that the date has not yet been set for when he will report. He said that he was going to tell all the assistants, and team brass shortly.

Exactly, more people have moved and every time a new job opens, we lose out on getting a coach that might have come to us....I am not sure what Steve-O has up his sleeve, but it better be UNBELIEVABLY INCREDIBLE!!!

Have you seen them play this year? Don't think they can get much worse.

I'm with you, Dwan, I think Muschamp would be a great hire as I have posted before. At least find out if he is interested in SMU.

UNique situation:

1. Petrino is a flake, been one since UL
2. ATL is a no where job with Vick out...Petrino doesn't have the same team he thought he did
