MICHIGAN HAS A GIF AND THAT'S A START

DOES MICHIGAN HAVE A COACH? No. But they do have this aspirational and inspirational GIF.

So you've got that, Michigan, and for now that'll have to be enough. (Because there's nothing else right now, save these denials of any interest or contact by both Les Miles and Dan Mullen.)

WELL LOOK AT THAT, A HIRE.

Mississippi State DC Geoff Collins is expected to accept the same position at Florida per a source.

Finally, someone else to help McElwain on the recruiting trail to bring up Florida from what is currently the fourth-ranked recruiting class in the state. (What can we say other than that Florida Atlantic is just a really, really good football program.)

Collins is also an artist, if you've forgotten.

WE'RE A BALLERS NOW, FLORIDA. Feels so good to be back already.

FURTHER SHUFFLING OF COACHING ASSETS TO COME. If and when Paul Chryst goes to Wisconsin from Pitt, he's expected to take a few assistants including his current defensive coordinator Matt House, who would go in "a different capacity" because it's assumed that lauded Badgers defensive coordinator Dave Aranda is someone you'd want to stay around. This means telling someone "You're good enough to be Pitt's defensive coordinator, but that's not like, a real thing or anything, and please just take this honorary title and pay raise to do something else. Please take this money I am trying to hand you."

IN CASE YOU WEREN'T READY TO LET THE UAB ANGER GO. You can go read Vice Sports' interview of UAB players who now, in their own words ,play football for "the biggest JuCo in the world" right now.

ESPN OFFICIALLY HATES EVERYONE. Thanks to Corn Nation, it's now a matter of science that ESPN hates your team.

ETC: Gonna have to read this before the holidays, if only to get in the right frame of mind for family time. Typography is an art, and be careful which artists you choose to do it.
