This could go in several different directions.
But I think we can all agree on which particular one would be the most entertaining, right?

It’s not that some people never learn. Some people never **want** to learn.
This is your college football administrator’s brain on drugs.
Urban Meyer has been contacted by Nebraska as the team continues its process of determining candidates for its head coaching vacancy, sources told CBS Sports on Saturday. It was not made clear whether Meyer was asked about his interest in holding the job.
Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts went out of his way this week to caution that names mentioned in connection with the opening may not necessarily be candidates for the position. As such, Meyer may have been contacted as an outside source to vet other potential candidates for the position.
I exaggerate, of course. I’ve never heard that Alberts is a drug addict.
Seriously, why would anyone in their right mind consider Corch for a head coaching job after the bang up work he did in Jacksonville? For that matter, given that his last reference led to Addazio getting hired by Colorado State, why would anyone seek out his hiring advice?
Eh, don’t answer that. Purely rhetorical questions. Besides, part of me wants to see Nebraska do it, just so I can enjoy the flame out in three years. Like day follows night.

“If you don’t want Meyer there, you can vote with your remote.”
Wow — and I do mean wow. This Richard Deitch takedown of Corch’s return to Fox ($$) is just brutal, and I’m here for every punctuation mark of it.
Look for his on-set colleagues to pay homage to his college success. Normally, I would say that Meyer will try to win the audience by being self-deprecating about his tenure in Jacksonville, but my college football colleagues at The Athletic tell me he is incapable of that…
Perhaps Meyer will be a different person upon return. Perhaps sports networks in the future will stop making hires that insult your intelligence. Anything is possible. Maybe I’ll dunk over Giannis Antetokounmpo next month or travel back in time to stop Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard. Amazing things are always possible.
Read the whole thing, preferably before the next “Big Noon Kickoff” pregame show. It’s a doozy.
Return to greatness
With the news that Urban Meyer is returning to the broadcast crew for Fox’ college football game day show comes one question: what exactly is the demographic for people who say, “I ain’t watchin’ BIG NOON KICKOFF unless Corch is there”? Seriously?
Corch, doing it for the kids
Former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer is joining the board of a nonprofit that will pay Buckeyes football and basketball players to work with charities.
Meyer will serve on the board of THE Foundation, an organization co-founded by Brian Schottenstein, a Columbus real estate developer and Ohio State booster, and Cardale Jones, the former national championship-winning quarterback for the Buckeyes. It launches at the end of this month.
“There isn’t a better person to have on the board than Coach Urban Meyer,” Schottenstein said. “It goes without saying that he’s one of the greatest recruiters of student-athletes and coaches of all time. I appreciate his support and friendship.”
Definitely a go-to guy for mentoring. Maybe they can bring in Zach Smith while they’re at it and get the band back together.

Does Urban Meyer have a future in college football?
That was a topic of discussion for me and some friends last night, before the news of Corch’s firing broke. And, yes, I know Meyer’s got a 187-32 record as a college head coach, with three nattys. And, yes, I know there are plenty of examples of second acts for college coaches who couldn’t cut it in the pros. I mean, if a total douche like Bobby Petrino could land on his feet — handsomely, even — at Arkansas, surely there’s a place somewhere for Urban Meyer.
But this makes three fairly spectacular flame outs in a row for the guy when the going got tough. Beyond that, you can make the argument that Meyer’s stint at Jacksonville is the worst showing for any NFL coach, ever. And that’s before you get to the erratic personal behavior he displayed as the ship was sinking. Handling adversity isn’t Urban Meyer’s strong suit.
What has been his strong suit is talent accumulation, but with the advent of the transfer portal, even that has to be questioned somewhat. If your coach behaves like a complete dick, you don’t have to put up with that on the college level anymore.
I have no doubt Meyer intends to return to the college coaching ranks, because he’s not built to have the Jacksonville fiasco as the final item on his resume. But how many schools are prepared to roll the dice on an expensive chance like Corch (and he will be pricey), knowing that it’s likely he’ll flame out in less than five seasons and his tenure will play out in a very public way?
Okay… how many schools besides Auburn?

UPDATE: LOL. Stingtalk is all in on Corch.

A winning personality
Evidently, to know Dan Mullen is to love him.
David’s qualifier doesn’t help as much as he thinks.
Bad first impressions will kill you on the recruiting trail. Sometimes, you only get one crack.

Quick! To the bulletin board, lads!
So, Jimbo Fisher tells fans TAMU’s gonna beat Saban’s ass.
It’s obvious from the lighthearted tone there, and Jimbo’s relationship with Saban that he’s having a little fun. But that doesn’t stop the knicker-wadding in certain quarters from happening.
At least there’s some emotion going on there. Contrast that with how a robot takes a shot.
Yeesh.
I guarantee you after the excitement wears off, Jalen Camp is gonna be wondering what he’s getting into with Corch.
Today, in Mark Richt has lost control of Kirk Herbstreit
Just gag me with a spoon.

There’s a reason Corch had that fucker on speed dial.
That is an accurate number, per the New York Times.
A roster on the university’s Web site lists 121 players, 41 of whom have been arrested, either in college or afterward, and sometimes both. That number included 16 players on that season’s final two-deep roster, nine of whom were starters, as well as a kicker, punter and returner. Several of those players went on to the N.F.L., and one, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, later won the Heisman Trophy playing for Auburn.
Definitely a special team. Mrs. Corch was pretty special, too.
After Hernandez’s arrest, Florida declined to comment. Meyer, about to start his second season as coach of Ohio State, initially declined to answer questions about Hernandez, a player who reportedly went to regular Bible study in Meyer’s home.
But Meyer’s wife, Shelley, posted on her Twitter page, “When will we start holding individuals accountable for their own decisions/actions and stop blaming any/everyone else?” She added the hashtag “liveyourliferight.”
Praise Jesus!
But in 2009, the number of arrests was such that The Orlando Sentinel, which covers the university, decided to maintain an online database to keep track of them.
I guess those Bible studies didn’t take real well.
