Will always be grateful to Dave Clawson for him being so open to share insight into the Slow Mesh, which became such a memorable part of car rides to and from games with my then-2nd grade son as we implemented a version of Wake's offense in our pee-wee football league www.nytimes.com/athletic/333...
Feldman: The coaching and parenting lessons I learned coaching my son’s pee-wee football team
I learned, most of all, that being a football head coach is very, very hard.

I grew up less than an hour away from Bloomington. The fact that we're even considering whether being the head football coach at IU is preferable to being the head football coach at Penn State and IU is very, very hard to compute (even if it's true!)

Should Curt Cignetti leave Indiana for Penn State? In today’s college football, it’s a real question
Leaving Indiana for Penn State was once a no-brainer. But college football has changed. What would you do if you were Cignetti?

Kansas QB Jalon Daniels has been named a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year, awarded to honor exemplary leadership by a college player on and off the field. Daniels is one of the most impressive people I've ever covered.

Sad to hear about D'Angelo. Loved his sound. And always will. That slow-rolling funk washed over you like no other. No matter how you felt before his songs came on, you felt way different by the time his voice actually came on the track. RIP

Penn State is eating a massive buyout to make a coaching change. What other schools might be next? Florida? Auburn? Wisconsin? We break down just how hot those coaches seats actually are: www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...
Which college football coaches are on the hot seat? Luke Fickell, Hugh Freeze and more
Penn State continued an active early college football coaching carousel, and more movement is sure to come. Here's who to watch.

What I’m hearing: Penn State’s search starts with Curt Cignetti and Matt Rhule. Both have done amazing jobs at several spots. Rhule is super close with PSU AD Pat Kraft but James Franklin’s “big game issue” is also concerning. Rhule’s lost 17 in a row vs Top 25 teams. www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...
Who are the Penn State football coaching candidates with James Franklin out?
Cignetti, who has engineered an amazing turnaround at Indiana, and Nebraska's Matt Rhule will be top targets.

Coach Pete is not going to coach anywhere else. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want back in.

With UAB firing Trent Dilfer, OC Alex Mortensen is the Blazers interim head coach. The son of the great Chris Mortensen is a guy who spent a decade behind the scenes as a key piece in helping keep Nick Saban's operation running so smoothly at Alabama.

Alabama’s constant (besides Nick Saban) is a famous football name finally taking the next step
Alex Mortensen, the son of sports journalist Chris Mortensen, spent years behind the scenes at Alabama, and now will splash onto it at UAB.

Who gets the Penn State job? PA native Curt Cignetti has worked miracles at IU and would owe Indiana $13 million if he left before Dec. 1 and $10 million after that. Nebraska's Matt Rhule is a former PSU player with deep ties inside Penn State... www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...

Texas is 116th in the country in 3rd-down efficiency (34%) and 86th in red zone touchdown percentage (59%). And now UT faces OU and the nation’s No. 1 defense. The good news? Arch is actually coming off his best game. Reporting with @ralphdrussoath.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

“It’s the arrogance of it all."

Bill Belichick pledged an NFL approach at North Carolina. It has proven to be a complete disaster. Here's @theathletic.com’s story on why UNC football has turned into such a dumpster fire:

Great reporting here from @brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social @brendanmarks.bsky.social and @slmandel.bsky.social
What a mess.
No surprise (to everybody except blind boosters and others in Chapel Hill).

This is way worse. Weis took over a program that didn't have a winning season in its previous two years and won 19 games in his first two years.

In honor of Cam Skattebo continuing to wow folks only now on an even bigger stage, read this if you haven't. Some of these stories just seem unbelievable, but with him at this point, they don't: www.nytimes.com/athletic/601...
Those who never doubted Cameron Skattebo share validation: ‘No one understood what we were looking at’
