Rhoads is a classy guy. In his press conference, as he talked about the season, he used the fact of UNI being in the playoffs to play up his victories.

So, can we please spell his name correctly?

Paul Rhoads is a classy guy, and I don't think there is anyone who could want that job more than him, just in the end he didn't produce enough.

I hope he chooses TV over coaching. I think he'd be really good calling games. Lots of knowledge and lots of passion for the college game.

He's one of those guys you hate to see get fired. I also don't think it was Pollard's decision, I think it came from Leath.

I think Pollard, Leath, and Rhoads had some discussions about the circumstances of his continued employment, so that the decision was made according to preset criteria, not a knee-jerk reaction. Pollard said the decision was not made because of the K-State game . . . but then seemed to hint at the number of wins being a factor.

Norm Chow apparently let go in Hawaii three weeks ago - and no one noticed.

Les Miles deathwatch is on the clock, apparently. His buyout is $15M+, or about what UNI spends on its entire athletic program in a given year. Seems right

Norm Chow is an offensive guru, correct? Unless he's got some big personal issues, he'll get snagged pretty quick. If one of the Big 12 OC's gets a HC job, you'd think he'd be a good backfill.

I'm not sure it was even actually open. I heard talk in the media of people worth interviewing and Tracy Claeys was often on that list, but within two weeks of Kill's announcement, the U announced it would be Claeys.

You can't build brick by brick without using Claeys!

(I'm really sorry about that)

.....and he can't be more than one brick shy of a load. Do not get behind Tracy or Mark Mangino at a buffet.

I'd be more concerned if I were in front of Mangino at a buffet!
