Despite two ugly losses in mid-November and injuries all over the offense - including to starting quarterback Maddux Madsen - the Boise State football team somehow will get a chance to play for a third straight Mountain West Championship." And maybe even more remarkable? They get to host the game." The Mountain West announced Sunday morning that UNLV and Boise State will meet Friday night at 6 p.m. at Albertsons Stadium in Boise in the championship." The Broncos and Rebels finished tied with San Diego State and New Mexico at 6-2 in league play, sending it to a confusing computer rankings formula to decide the two participants. UNLV finished first and Boise State was second in the final composite rankings, but the Broncos earned the right to host by beating UNLV in a head-to-head matchup earlier…...

3+ hour, 35+ min ago (380+ words) CLEVELAND, OHIO (TheOBR.com) - Good morning, Cleveland Browns fans! The big news yesterday, supposedly, was that ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Browns are open to giving Shedeur Sanders "an extended look" this season. Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz has done a fantastic job for the Browns, and by all rights should be considered for any open head coaching job. But he likely won't, and one reason is that he's 59. Don't let anyone kid you that NFL teams don't factor that into the equation, given their preference for hot young coordinators when searching for head coaches. Which is a real shame, because Jim Schwartz is a hell of a coach and has earned another shot at a top job. But I suspect he won't get it.

10+ hour, 21+ min ago (218+ words) New athletic director J Batt arrived at MSU from Georgia Tech this past summer. While Batt originally believed in Smith and the stability of the football program was one of the draws of the job, Batt quickly adapted to drastically-changing outlook of the program and made the necessary decision to fire Smith. Smith's contract includes a ~$30M buyout, but he's obligated to make a reasonable effort to seek new employment - which would partially offset MSU's financial obligations with the buyout. Regarding MSU's financial landscape, sources have indicated that MSU has some notable news on the horizon that'll be a huge feat for the athletic department. It's unclear whether that upcoming development played a role in this decision. As for MSU's next steps, multiple sources have indicated that the school will not conduct a national search for its new head coach. Instead,…...

12+ hour, 39+ min ago (204+ words) The search for a coach at Florida has come to a close, as the Gators are expected to hire Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall as their next head coach. To say this came out of the blue would be false, and Gator fans have had varying thoughts on Sumrall and how he'd fit at Florida." Before taking the job at Florida, Sumrall had head coaching jobs at both Troy and Tulane, each tenure lasting for two seasons. At Troy, Sumrall led the Trojans to a 23-4 record over two seasons, to back-to-back Sun Belt Conference championships and to a rank inside the AP Top 25 for the first time in program history. At Tulane, where he had previously served as defensive coordinator from 2012-2014, he currently has a 19-7 record.
