Just in case you have not heard by now, Coach Richt has hired the new defensive backs coach. The Grit Tree has some thoughts on the new coach. DawgSports finds reason to be pleased.

Tankertoad applauds Coach Richt and sees a bright future for the program.

Mr. SEC rates the conference coaches and picks Coach Richt at #3. I guess it is reasonable to rank Richt behind Saban and Meyer although it remains to be seen if either of them stick around for the long haul.

If the Bills hire Chan maybe Reggie Ball will get a job.

Clay Travis has a good piece on the Kiffin debacle.

UCLA is excited about Kiffin coming to LA

Kiffin is at least being honest to himself (if no one else) in that he wanted the USC job and he's taking it. If Meyer is telling recruits that he's going to be back in August, then he had better have his burnt out ass on the practice field on the opening day of fall practices or he not only becomes one of college football's top scam artists and scumbags, he ruins his recruiting reputation for life. And if you're a top player and you're going to sign on at the University of Florida, and if Meyer isn't your coach for all five years, if at all, then that's 100% totally and completely on you if things don't turn out like you want.

Dr. Saturday has his list of the 5 most surreal moments of the 2009 season. Remember Meyer's $30k fine? That's number 4. Then there's my personal favorite. The Les Myles clock management issue is #3.

The 2010 Fulmer Cup gets off to a bizarre start with no representation from the SEC.

Super Bowl hospitality is making a comeback from last years doldrums. I'm guessing that Masters hospitality spending will follow and begin to drive secondary market ticket prices back to pre-recession levels
