Kevin Sumlin really did fire the pool boy who overheard him on the phone
While Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin was having a phone conversation to finalize the hiring of the Aggies’ next defensive coordinator, an A&M student who was cleaning his pool sent out a tweet that ultimately cost him his job.
You just lost your job!RT“@mcfarlandrk8: Just cleaned Sumlin's pool. Saw him on the phone, hopefully with our new DC!”
— Kevin Sumlin (@CoachSumlin) December 30, 2014 When Sumlin replied, people weren’t entirely sure if he was being serious, but in a radio interview with ESPN’s Mike & Mike on Wednesday, Sumlin confirmed that he was.
Sumlin said that he was actually on the phone with John Chavis, who he hired away from LSU the day after the pool boy, Rustin McFarland, overheard him on the phone. Sumlin said the decision to fire McFarland came down to an invasion of privacy.
(The pool boy question comes around the 15:00 mark)
“We try to teach lessons to young people and I’ve got a great company that built my pool and (McFarland’s) boss is a good friend – I’ve known him for a long time,” Sumlin said. “I was on the phone. Obviously everybody wanted to know who we were going to hire as a D coordinator and I was on the phone with John Chavis at the time and (McFarland’s) looking through the pool and I’m coming out of the car and he’s still standing around, looking.
“The message is if you come to somebody’s house and somebody hires you, whatever you’re doing – it’s a little bit personal. If you’re invading privacy, it’s not a public deal and Twitter is public. So, you know, guess what? Don’t come back.”
Sumlin said it’s a lesson for young people, including his players, to take social media seriously.
“Guys are going to make mistakes. Think before you tweet,” Sumin said.
McFarland definitely received that lesson loud and clear.

National Championship Preview: Ohio State's O-line
The first College Football Playoff National Championship Game is finally upon us and Dr. Saturday has your pregame prep covered. Every day leading up to the game, we’ll breakdown a piece of each team and preview its role in the upcoming title game. Previous previews: Ohio State's front 7, Oregon's front 7, Ohio State's secondary.
Season highlight: Ohio State’s starting left guard Billy Price said he thought the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin completed the turnaround of the Ohio State offensive line and he was right. The game showed complete domination by a line that allowed just one sack and five tackles for loss while the offense rolled up 558 total yards and seven touchdowns in a 59-0 performance.
Player to Watch: Guard Pat Elflein was one of just two Buckeyes with starting experience on the line this season and as the year has progressed, he has become the anchor. In the semifinal against Alabama, Elflein actually slid over to center when Jacoby Boren was injured late in the first half. Three plays later, the Buckeyes scored their first touchdown of the game on a 3-yard run by Ezekiel Elliott.
Strengths: Ohio State can run the ball. There was definitely some doubt about whether the Buckeyes could do it against Alabama and one of the best defensive lines in the game, but those concerns were alleviated when the Buckeyes rattled off 281 rushing yards against a defense that was allowing less than 100 rushing yards per game and had not allowed a 100-yard rusher this season. Elliott finished with 230 yards. Since struggling against Navy and Virginia Tech, Ohio State has not rushed for fewer than 219 yards and has rushed for 300 yards three times.
Weaknesses: While the running game has been good, opponents haven’t had much trouble getting into the backfield. Teams average 5.21 tackles for loss against the Buckeyes and Alabama managed a season-high tying 11. The only other team to have 11 tackles for loss on Ohio State was Virginia Tech, the team's only loss of the season. The Hokies also managed a season-high seven sacks. The Buckeyes have been much better since that game and have definitely cut down the sack totals, but did allow three to the Tide.
Overview: Ohio State’s offensive line was the most talked about weakness leading up to the 2014 season. It had just two players with starting experience — not even fulltime starting experience — and was filling holes with a bunch of unknowns.
When quarterback Braxton Miller suffered a season-ending shoulder injury during fall camp, even more attention was placed on a line that needed to gel together quickly and protect and young, inexperienced quarterback.
It didn’t respond well.
The Buckeyes were shaky at best against an undersized Navy defensive front and allowed five tackles for loss and a sack while the offense had to come from behind to win the game.
Things got worse the following week when the Buckeyes allowed 11 tackles for loss and seven sacks to Virginia Tech. Quarterback J.T. Barrett threw three interceptions and the running game had its lowest output of the season with 108 yards. Overall, the Ohio State offense mustered just 327 total yards.
It was the low point of the season for Ohio State's offensive line and a rallying point of sorts for left tackle Taylor Decker, Price, Boren, Elflein and right tackle Darryl Baldwin. From that game on, the line steadily improved. There were hiccups here and there, but it opened holes for the Buckeyes to be one of the dominant running games in the country and it kept its quarterback clean.
The biggest test of the line’s cohesiveness and growth came in the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin when it adjusted to its third quarterback of the season and kept him fairly unscathed.
Oregon doesn’t present as big of a threat to the offensive line as Alabama did. The Ducks have been gashed in yardage this season and haven’t done a great job of getting into the backfield. However, where the Buckeyes offensive line will truly be tested is in the red zone. While Oregon allows a lot of yards, it doesn’t allow a ton of points and touchdowns are often hard to come by once teams get into the 20s.
Elliott has rushed for more than 200 yards in each of his past two games and quarterback Cardale Jones has shown he can use his big frame to bowl over defenders and pick up yardage. Oregon hasn’t faced a lot of good backs in the Pac-12 and definitely hasn’t faced a lot of good power backs. The ground game is definitely an advantage for the Buckeyes and if its offensive line can continue to open holes, it might be the difference in the game.

Georgia hires Brian Schottenheimer as offensive coordinator
The school announced on Wednesday that it has hired Brian Schottenheimer, the long-time NFL assistant, as the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Schottenheimer was the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams for the past three seasons and hasn’t coached in college since 2000, when he was USC’s tight ends coach.
Schottenheimer will replace Mike Bobo, who had been with the program since 2001 but accepted the head-coaching job at Colorado State in December.
“This is a great opportunity to become a Georgia Bulldog for both my career and my family,” Schottenheimer said in a statement. “I'm thrilled to be part of an elite program with such national tradition and a great staff already in place. I look forward to working with young men and being a positive and significant influence on their lives as we develop them athletically, academically, and socially.”
Before his time with St. Louis, Schottenheimer was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the New York Jets from 2006-11 and also was the quarterbacks coach for the San Diego Chargers from 2002-05 and the Washington Redskins in 2001.
In addition to his one season at USC in 2000, Schottenheimer coached wide receivers at Syracuse in 1999.
The son of longtime NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer, Schottenheimer played at Florida under Steve Spurrier from 1994-96 and was the backup quarterback behind Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel.
“I'm excited to have Brian join our coaching staff,” said head coach Mark Richt. "His NFL experience will be a perfect fit for how we like to play offensive football here at Georgia. He'll be excellent in developing our players in both the running and passing games which will benefit them while they are at Georgia and for their future.”
With Schottenheimer running the offense, the Rams were 28th in the NFL this season in total offense, averaging 314.7 yards and 20.3 points per game.

USC's O.J. Simpson Heisman Trophy found 20 years after it was stolen
Simpson's Heisman was burglarized along with a jersey in July of that year while Simpson was set to begin the murder trial for the death of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Simpson was ultimately found not guilty in the trial.
Police would give no further details on where or how they found the trophy, saying the investigation was still open. They sought the public's help with further leads in the probe and any word on the location of the jersey, which remains missing.
The recovered Heisman was the duplicate that is given to the university of the winning player and not the one given to Simpson himself in 1968, police said.
It remained in police possession, and USC athletic officials had no immediate comment Tuesday night.
Simpson's trophy was seized after he was found liable for the deaths in civil court. He's currently in prison after a 2008 kidnapping and robbery conviction in Nevada.
He won the Heisman Trophy in 1968 after finishing second in the voting in 1967. In 1968 he had 383 carries for 1,880 yards and 23 touchdowns. He went to the NFL the following season and was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1969 NFL draft by the Buffalo Bulls.

Former Georgia DT Jonathan Taylor reportedly enrolling at Alabama
Per TideSports.com, former Georgia defensive tackle Jonathan Taylor will enroll at Alabama on Wednesday. Taylor was dismissed from Georgia in July and spent the 2014 season at a junior college.
His dismissal came after he was arrested for aggravated assault after allegedly assaulting his girfriend at a dorm. Per police, the evidence and witness accounts in the incident showed that Taylor had choked her and struck her with a closed fist. According to Georgia's Clarke County court records system, the bench warrant in the case was dismissed on December 29.
The aggravated assault charges were Taylor's second run-in with the law at Georgia. He was one of the Georgia players who were accused of double-dipping tuition checks in the spring.
Taylor was a four-star defensive tackle in the class of 2012 according to Rivals and set to be a redshirt sophomore in 2014. He played at Copiah-Lincoln Community college in Mississippi this season.
