    There could be guys who decide to transfer following spring practice when the writing is on the wall. For instance, QB Anthony Jennings just announced he's transferring from LSU a couple days ago

    Coaching Search is actually run by Chris Vannini now. It was originally both Roussel brothers, but the one that started Coaching Search left the site.

    Coaching Search reported Spencer was coming to Illinois. That's it. They never said he was staying, instead they tweeted he was weighing his options. The only tweet they deleted was the one that said Spencer was coming to Illinois. And this is the last time I'm going to try and make this point...

    I think the best way to put it is, if they hire McGee, the offense, schematically anyway, won't look all that different than what we saw the last two years. Only with less swing passes (I hope).

    McGee didn't run Petrino's offense at UAB, nor did he at Arkansas, and he isn't running it at Louisville. Petrino is. While at UAB his offense was very pass-heavy in his first season. In his second season, however, there was a lot more balance. They ran the ball 53% of the time and passed 47%...
