Update:

As far as I can tell…

Akron got their guy.  Joe Moorhead is their HC.  Surprisingly he would take a job at a program like that.  He must really want to be a HC again.  Really badly.

UM is said to be really close to signing Cristobal to a huge contract (in the $8 million/year range).  But they have no AD, boosters are involved and who knows how much authority they have to get a deal done?  And Oregon is apparently trying really hard to retain Mario.  I think with each hour that passes, UM’s chances to get Cristobal decrease.

Oklahoma is in a similar situation with Venables.  He is their clear choice (after swinging and missing at a few others).  A deal is said to be imminent.  OU officials flew to Clemson to get the deal signed.  But still no announcement of a deal.  Again, with every hour that passes, I think it is more likely Clemson will retain Brent.

Just like everyone else in the SU OC Rumor thread, I have absolutely nothing on the SU OC job.  Agree with others though that it will be interesting to see how long it takes before Dino gets his guy.  I would ordinarily expect an announcement after the coaches convention in January but we really need to lock up some portal transfers in the next week or two and that is going to be close to impossible on the offensive side with no OC announced.

Dino has to do something he is uncomfortable doing again.  He has to move an important move and he needs to do it fast.  IMHO, we have to get a couple of quality WRs in the portal, as well as a TE, a QB, a RB and a couple of OL.  Our ability to get immediate contributors at all these positions could well determine if the team goes to a bowl game next season,

Lots of high stakes drama for the SU football program and other programs in the conference.  The next week or so should be very interesting.
