HOOSIER FUNBAG: How much does Kevin Wilson have to do to become Indiana's best football coach ever? - The Crimson Quarry

Indiana's best three football coaches ever are pretty obvious. Though it was ages ago (1934-1947), Bo McMillan gave Indiana its only outright Big Ten title in football, an undefeated season, and 10 winning seasons. Long ago or not, that's enough to be the best Hoosier football coach ever. The bar's not high, here.

He’s dumbfounded that he was fired. Sounds like a guy who understands what he did wrong and will work real hard to make sure it never happens again.

Dallas Cowboys: Jerry Jones vouches for former Baylor coach Art Briles, says he'd be 'a great asset to an organization' | SportsDay

Owner Jerry Jones voiced his support for Art Briles on Tuesday, saying he believes the former Baylor coach will be back in football soon and adding that he would want his grandson to play for him.

Does Jerry Jones have any credibility for anyone but other rich white men? Maybe that’s all that matters.

It’s not a matter of whether Jerry would let his grandson play for Briles, it’s a matter of whether he would allow his granddaughter around his players on a constant basis.
