Coastal Carolina announces plans for teal-colored field (Photo)
The trend of making college football field turf a color other than green has just taken a bluish-green turn.
Coastal Carolina announced via Twitter this week that it was in the process of finalizing plays to lay teal turf in its stadium for 2015.
You read that right, teal.
Coastal Carolina's Teal Turf rendering @CCUJoeMoglia http://ift.tt/1D0Lb1Z
— CCU Chanticleers (@GoCCUsports) January 23, 2015 It’s that color that’s not quite green and not quite blue and definitely not turquoise. It’s the color of the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Miami Dolphins, but neither of those teams thought the color would look good on the turf.
This is what happens when you go 12-2 and finish as Big South co-champions for the third consecutive season. You start getting wild ideas about what football turf should really look like.
Go ahead, called me a traditionalist stick in the mud for thinking that grass should be green. Honestly, we can all blame Boise State for this.
After all, the Broncos were the first to go away from the traditional green field and use a bright blue (royal blue?) in its place. Then teams like Eastern Washington, Central Arkansas and Eastern Michigan all decided to get in on the field game turning their turf red and a couple shades of gray respectively.
Fear the day when the color green is the “strange” field color because this is a slippery slope, people.

Baylor will have a bronze helmet in 2015 to go with its rotation of other helmets.

— Jeff Barlow (@JeffEquipBU) January 24, 2015 Will this go with a new set of uniforms too or, at the very least, uniform numbers? We're going to refrain from complete judgment until we see them paired with uniforms. However, we will say that they don't top Baylor's chrome domes.

Braxton Miller to Ohio State fans: 'We've got another year'
Miller hasn’t definitively declared his intentions on whether he'll stay with the Buckeyes for the 2015 season or whether he'll try to start elsewhere, but during the Buckeyes national championship celebration at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, Miller gave the crowd of about 45,000 fans a small glimmer of hope.
"Privilege and honor to be part of this team," Miller said. "Guess what, we've got another year to do it. So go Bucks."
Wait, that was a glimmer of hope, right? Because he did used the word “we.” But wait, that first part sounded a little bit like a goodbye.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN???
Coach Urban Meyer has said for the past month or so that he thought Miller was going to stay with the program, but there's no denying the quarterbacking situation has become far more complex than it was when Miller injured last fall camp. Since then, J.T. Barrett, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury, lost just one game in Miller's stead, broke all sorts of records and finished fifth in Heisman voting. Third-stringer Cardale Jones went on to lead the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title, a win against Alabama in the College Football Playoff Semifinal and ultimately a national championship victory against Oregon.
So becoming the starter is going to be increasingly difficult for Miller, who was a two-time Big Ten MVP and a Heisman hopeful before his injury.
Miller is enrolled in spring classes, but that doesn’t mean much. Russell Wilson, another once-coveted transfer, didn’t make his decision to attend Wisconsin until June.

Kiffin to remain Alabama OC, turn down NFL
Lane Kiffin, reportedly a candidate for the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator job, will return to Alabama next season as offensive coordinator, the Crimson Tide announced Saturday. From ESPN.com - College Football - Kiffin to remain Alabama OC, turn down NFL
Lane Kiffin returning to Alabama in 2015
Lane Kiffin is not going to the NFL for the 2015 season.
Alabama announced Saturday that Kiffin would return for a second season as the Crimson Tide's offensive coordinator. Kiffin had been mentioned as a candidate for the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator opening.
"I made a comment at the Sugar Bowl that I would be back this fall at Alabama and that is definitely the plan," Kiffin said in an Alabama statement. "This time of year, there are lots of things out there regarding other coaching opportunities, but I want to reaffirm my commitment to the University of Alabama, Coach Saban, and our team. I'm excited about what our offensive staff was able to accomplish last year, but I also think there are a lot of things we can do a better job of in terms of putting our players in the best situation to have success."
When asked at the Senior Bowl about Kiffin's status for 2015, Nick Saban said he hoped Kiffin would return and said the former USC coach was committed to Alabama "right now." Kiffin was hired as Alabama's offensive coordinator following Doug Nussmeier's departure to Michigan after the 2013 season. He was fired as USC's coach midway through the 2013 season.
"We've very pleased and happy that Lane is going to be staying here at the University of Alabama with us," Saban said. "He's done a fabulous job and is one of the finest offensive coaches in the country. He is going to have plenty of opportunities in the future and we want to continue to help him develop as a coach so when he leaves here, he'll be in a very good situation. Our offense was extremely productive last season and we look forward to building on some of the good things we did on that side of the ball with this year's team."
Quarterback Blake Sims threw for over 3,400 yards in 2014 while running backs T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry each ran for over 900. Wide receiver Amari Cooper, considered a likely top-10 pick in the 2015 NFL draft, was a Heisman finalist and had 1,727 yards receiving and 16 touchdowns.
