Report: Florida hires Michigan's Doug Nussmeier to be offensive coordinator
According to a report from Sports Illustrated, Nussmeier is expected to be hired as offensive coordinator at Florida under new Gators head coach Jim McElwain.
Nussmeier recently completed his first season as offensive coordinator at Michigan under Brady Hoke, who was fired on Dec. 2 after going 5-7 in his fourth season with the program.
Before accepting the job at Michigan, Nussmeier was the offensive coordinator at Alabama in 2012 and 2013. He also served as offensive coordinator at Fresno State in 2008 and at Washington from 2009 to 2011. Previously, he had stints as a quarterbacks coach with the BC Lions and Ottawa Renegades of the CFL in 2001 and 2002, at Michigan State from 2003-05 and with the St. Louis Rams in 2006 and 2007.
Nussmeier previously worked with McElwain on John L. Smith’s staff at Michigan State. McElwain was the Spartans’ associate head coach and wide receivers coach while Nussmeier coached the quarterbacks.
Additionally, when McElwain left Alabama to accept the head-coaching job at Colorado State, Nussmeier succeeded him as the Crimson Tide’s offensive coordinator. Alabama won the BCS National Championship in Nussmeier’s first season as offensive coordinator.
McElwain, who was hired on Dec. 4, is still in the process of rounding out his staff. Before his reported hire of Nussmeier, McElwain hired Mississippi State’s Geoff Collins to be his defensive coordinator.

AAC commish, school ADs disappointed in Miami Beach Bowl fight
Memphis athletic director Tom Bowen said he and head coach Justin Fuente will review the video footage of the fight, which took place immediately after the Tigers beat the Cougars 55-48 in double overtime, over the next few days. At that point, “appropriate disciplinary measures” will be issued to student-athletes.
“Hopefully, it will be a learning lesson for both teams,” Bowen said, per the Associated Press.
After the game, Fuente said the fight was not representative of the Memphis program.
“I don't know what happened at the end, first of all, so I don't know how upset I am," Fuente said. “I'm sure I'll see it eventually. It's not who we are, it's not what we want to represent. I hope it doesn't take away from an incredible football game, for both sides.”
Memphis is a member of the American Athletic Conference, and in a statement, AAC commissioner Mike Aresco expressed his displeasure and said that the conference will work with the school to review the incident.
“I have communicated with the University of Memphis, which is committed to the highest standard of sportsmanship for its student-athletes. The conference office is working with the university to review the Miami Beach Bowl post-game altercation pursuant to our conference’s Code of Sportsmanship review process. The university will respond accordingly following this detailed review. Needless to say, we are extremely disappointed that this happened, as we expect the highest standard of conduct from our student-athletes.”
BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe issued an apology to Cougar fans on Twitter on Monday night.
We expect better of our athletes, even in the face of a difficult loss. We intend to fully review this matter. I apologize to Cougar Nation.
— Tom Holmoe (@TomHolmoe) December 23, 2014 As an independent, BYU is not subject to any potential punishment from a conference. However, the athletic department may decide to punish individual players.
“You want them to rise above that and have fantastic sportsmanship,” BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said after the game. “I'm sure if you go back and look, there'll be an instance or two that ignited. Probably the majority wanted to handle it really well.”

Hawaii Bowl: Fresno State tries to break its bowl losing streak against Rice
Hawaii Bowl
Fresno State (6-7) vs. Rice (7-5)
Honolulu
Dec 24, 2014
The reason this bowl was ranked the worst of all the bowls this season by the Dr. Saturday staff is pretty simple — it’s not a good game and these are not good teams.
Both team’s records are products of subpar teams playing even worse teams and scraping by with wins. Fresno State got into its conference title game just because it wasn’t as bad as everyone else, though it did nearly blow a 28-0 lead against Hawaii, which would have cost the Bulldogs that championship spot. Rice had a chance to play for its conference title but lost 76-31 to Louisiana Tech in the final game of the regular season. In fact, of Rice’s seven wins, only one came against a team with a winning record and that was UTEP.
So now we bring these mediocre teams together and hope that the beautiful backdrop of Hawaii will somehow make this game just a little bit better.
Fresno State has been here before. Two years ago, SMU beat up the Bulldogs in the Hawaii Bowl. Fresno State also lost to USC in its bowl game last year.
Fresno State does have two dynamic players in running back Marteze Waller, who has rushed for 1,292 yards and 11 touchdowns, and receiver Josh Harper, who leads the Bulldogs with 86 catches for 1,072 yards. However, Fresno State’s hopes of winning this game will rest on quarterback Bryan Burrell, who has played inconsistently all season, He threw three interceptions against Boise State in the Mountain West title game and two against Hawaii in the game before that. These performances were after he had the best game of his season in a 40-20 win against Nevada.
Rice actually has the longest active bowl streak in Conference USA at three games, but the Owls lost 44-7 to Mississippi State in the Liberty Bowl last season. It did win its previous two bowl games, however.
These teams are evenly matched on paper, so it might be a back and forth defensive affair. The team that can stop the run could have the advantage as neither Burrell or Rice quarterback Driphus Jackson has been consistent this season.
Vegas odds: Rice (-2.5)
FUN FACT
Fresno State is the only team to earn a bowl berth this season despite a sub .500 record.
PREDICTIONS
Graham: Is it possible not to like anyone in a game? I’m giving the nod to Fresno State simply because the competition it faced was better than what Rice face. Also, Josh Harper and Marteze Waller can be difference-makers. Fresno State 24, Rice 21.
Nick: Is there anything better than watching this game on Christmas Eve? OK, it depends on how much you like your family and how addicted to college football you are. The pick here is to go with the team that's above .500. Rice 30, Fresno State 20.
Sam: Fresno has lost bowl games in the last two years in embarrassing fashion, but I can't bring myself to pick a Rice squad that just gave up 76 points to Louisiana Tech. Fresno State 31, Rice 24 .

49ers GM confirms that Michigan has reached out about Jim Harbaugh
Harbaugh, a former Michigan quarterback, has been viewed as a candidate to succeed Brady Hoke for months. With the NFL season approaching its end, it could finally come to fruition with Harbaugh’s job status being addressed following San Francisco’s season finale against Arizona on Sunday.
"I don't know that it's been offered to him. I don't know that it's been offered at all," Baalke said, per TheWolverine.com. "I haven't seen a report that the contract has been handed to him and he's mulling it over. I think the University of Michigan, in reaching out, did handle it correctly.
“As I look at it, guys, it's very simple – he's the head football coach of the San Francisco 49ers. You read a lot of speculation. We heard the same thing about Texas and USC and others making overtures. He's a good football coach. Anytime there's a good opportunity like the University of Michigan or the University of Texas, they do that. That's expected. You'd rather have somebody coveted than somebody who's not."
Harbaugh has one season remaining on his contract with the 49ers, but his relationship with the organization has reportedly gone south over the course of the season.
Michigan reportedly offered Harbaugh a six-year, $48 million contract. He has also been linked to the Oakland Raiders. If there’s one thing we do know, Michigan really wants Harbaugh to be their man.
Happy Birthday, Jim. #GoBlue http://ift.tt/1AWIHRc

Several applicants for Wisconsin head coaching job listed video game skills
According to an open records request filed by the Associated Press, 45 others applied for the opening, created when Gary Andersen left for Oregon State. Among those who applied were three men who you may not have heard of, but they have some unique qualifications that were probably tough for Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez to pass up.
One man, Jarrad Dann of Chandler, Ariz., listed himself as “The Man, The Myth, The Legend,” and claimed his “ridiculously good” ability at playing NCAA Football on XBOX 360 qualified him for the job. It’s hard to argue with him.
Elsewhere, a man from Racine, Wis., named Greg Miller listed his skills in “Madden ’92, Bill Walsh ’93, and NCAA Football ’96 and ’97.” He also has some coaching experience of his own.
“I have further successfully coached from my sofa every Saturday since 1987,” Miller, who said he was unemployed and living with his parents, wrote in his cover letter to Alvarez.
On top of that, Alvarez also turned down a very intriguing candidate in Arturo Bonomie, a YMCA coach for first graders, who would have accepted the position in a package deal with his wife.
“People tell me I can give one heck of a good pep talk on the sidelines and my wife makes a mean Gatorade,” Bonomie wrote.
Ultimately, Alvarez hired Chryst, a former Badgers quarterback and longtime assistant coach. Per the AP, Chryst “submitted his application on Dec. 12,” two days after Andersen’s departure.
Per ESPN.com, his cover letter in its entirety read:
This is my expression of interest of Head Football Coach at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My resume is attached. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Personally, I would have gone with the guy whose wife makes the awesome Gatorade, but that’s just me.
