Report: Nebraska targeting Bret Bielema
Could Nebraska already have its next football coach?
According to FootballScoop.com, a site that specializes in coaching searches, Nebraska is in “serious talks” with Arkansas coach Bret Bielema.
Per sources, Nebraska is targeting Arkansas Bret Bielema and is in serious talks with him. (Nebraska athletic director Shawn) Eichorst and Bielema has an extensive relationship from their time at Wisconsin and from what we hear this got serious quick. More to come…
According to the site, Eichorst hasn’t been taking calls from candidates and hasn’t been building a list of potential people to contact. He has been focused on Bielema and apparently the focus is mutual.
Bielema spent seven seasons at Wisconsin and led the Badgers to three consecutive Rose Bowls. He also posted five seasons with nine or more wins.
He left Wisconsin after the 2012 Big Ten Championship (where the Badgers, incidentally, beat Nebraska 70-31) for Arkansas. In two seasons with Arkansas, he’s posted 3-9 and 6-6 records.
While Bielema hasn’t shined on the SEC stage, there’s no denying how well he did in the Big Ten, Nebraska’s current conference. However, if this move happens, it won’t do much for Bielema from a PR standpoint. Wisconsin already held ill feelings toward him when it was revealed he had been talking to Arkansas during the Badgers season, one of the worst seasons in Bielema’s tenure. Leaving Arkansas after two seasons to go back to the Big Ten would definitely put him with the likes of Bobby Petrino, Todd Graham and Lane Kiffin in terms of fan ire.

Steve Gleason delivered an emotional speech before the Apple Cup
During last weekend’s Apple Cup game between Washington and Washington State, the Cougars inducted Steve Gleason as the exclusive honoree in the 2014 class of the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame.
But before Gleason’s induction, he met with Washington State players to offer inspirational words.
Four years ago, Gleason was diagnosed with ALS, which has left him bound to a wheelchair and unable to speak. Gleason used a computer to convey his emotional message that many of the players called inspiring.
"I learned this winning formula sitting in the same chairs you are sitting in now," Gleason told the players. "Taking this formula to my ALS diagnosis has born extraordinary results.
"The experts might say my play clock is ticking but I have no intention of fading away.”
Gleason was a four-year letterwinner in both football and baseball at Washington State from 1995-99. Gleason was a two-time captain in football, named All Pac-12 three times and finished his career with 282 tackles, ninth-most in school history.
He is the 178th member of the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame.

Vanderbilt fires offensive coordinator Karl Dorrell, two other coaches
Vanderbilt has parted ways with offensive coordinator Karl Dorrell, wide receivers coach Marc Lubick and strength coach Bill Hughan, the school announced Wednesday.
All three had spent just one season under first-year head coach Derek Mason.
Vanderbilt had one of the worst offenses in the country. It ranked 112nd in total yards, 112th in rushing and 106th in passing.
Dorrell also was in charge of a quarterbacking group that cycled through four different starters this past season and more than one quarterback appeared in eight of the Commodores 12 games this season.
As the quarterback position suffered, so did the receivers. The team ranked 121st in passing efficiency and the receivers had just one catch of more than 40 yards.
"I have great respect for Karl, Marc and Bill and appreciate their contributions to our program," Mason said in a statement in a university press release. "They are men of character and excellent coaches. I wish each of them nothing but success in the future."
Vanderbilt finished last in the SEC in scoring offense and total offense.

Miami athletic director reiterates support for Al Golden
On Tuesday, athletic director Blake James told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that “As I said last week, Al Golden is our coach and will continue to be our coach."
Questions about Golden's future arose as the Hurricanes ended the season with three straight losses to Florida State, Virginia and Pittsburgh.
The loss to Pitt was a 35-23 loss at home and put Miami at 6-6 on the season. Before losing three straight games, Miami had won three straight over Cincinnati, Virginia Tech and North Carolina.
Golden has been at Miami for four seasons and is 28-21 overall with a 16-16 mark in the ACC. He's finished 3-5 in two years in the ACC (including in 2014, as the Hurricanes finished in a tie for fifth in the Coastal Division) and 5-3 in two seasons. Last year, Miami went to the Russell Athletic Bowl and lost to Louisville.
As Miami was 3-3 and preparing to play Cincinnati, someone ponied up for a banner asking for Golden's dismissal to be flown over Sun Life Stadium.

Hawaii broadcaster apologizes for Fresno State comment
A broadcaster for Hawaii apologized for a comment he made near the end of the broadcast of Hawaii's game against Fresno State on Saturday night.
The game, at Fresno State, was broadcast on Oceanic Sports and the play-by-play broadcaster was Robert Kekaula, a broadcaster for Hawaii since 2011. As he was signing off, Kekaula said "Good night from the armpit of America."
After finding out about Kekaula's comment, Fresno State contacted Oceanic Sports and Kekaula wrote an apology letter to the school and said he was making a joke with a statistician.
“No excuses, that was wrong of me to say,” Kekaula said. “I’d like to offer my sincerest apologies to all of Bulldog Nation, to Fresno State President Joseph Castro, head football coach Tim DeRuyter and the always hospitable people of Fresno.
“There is no excuse for my action, and no defense I could make for what I uttered. I did mention in our broadcast, and have always felt, that Fresno State is, by a long shot, both the best and toughest place to play football in the Mountain West Conference. The fans at Bulldog Stadium are awesome. ...
“Nonetheless, my actions and my words, no matter the intent, were wrong. I offended some people, and to them … to all really … I’m sorry. Please accept my sincere apology.”
Hawaii lost the game 28-21 to drop to 4-9 on the season.
Entering the game, there was a scenario where Hawaii could have won a three-way tie at 4-4 atop the West Division of the Mountain West if the Warriors beat Fresno State and UNLV beat Nevada. Neither of those things happened, and Fresno State will play Boise State Saturday night for the MWC title.

Clint Trickett posts picture of letter from Bill Snyder (Photo)
Bill Snyder sent West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett a note after their game in Morgantown, W. Va.
The Wildcats beat the Mountaineers 26-20 on November 20 and Trickett had to be replaced by backup Skyler Howard after Trickett suffered a concussion. On Tuesday, Trickett posted a picture of a note he received from Snyder about the game and the injury.
This was honestly one of my goals for this season and game. Coach Snyder is the epitome of college football coaches! http://ift.tt/1yha3CD
— Clint Trickett (@CJTrickett9) December 2, 2014 Snyder sends notes after noteworthy games, including to Texas Tech's Jace Amaro last season and to North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen after the Bison beat the Wildcats in 2013.
The notes are a great gesture, and they all have a common theme – Snyder's writing format. As you can see in Trickett's picture, Snyder writes diagonally on the paper rather than horizontally. Given his meticulousness, there has to be a reason for it.

Watch UAB players being informed about the football shutdown (Video)
Imagine how you would feel if something you loved to do was taken away from you. And then imagine those emotions running through a room full of college football players. That's what it was like to be in the room on Tuesday when UAB football players were informed about the lack of a future of the Blazer football program.
Above is a video from when UAB president Ray Watts spoke to the players about the decision to shut down UAB's football program. UAB officially announced Tuesday that football, bowling and rifle would be dropped after this school year.
The pride the players have in their program is evident, and boy, is it tough to watch their emotions describing the team. While UAB said that player scholarships and coach contracts would be honored despite the shutdown, it's a no-brainder to say the members of the football team would like to continue playing.
The player near the end of the video is Tristan Henderson, a former military policeman in Iraq for the U.S. Army. He served an 18-month split tour of duty and came to UAB after playing at Cerritos College.
(Warning: video has NSFW language.)
