Melick: Seeing stars? Signing top-ranked players makes top-ranked college football teams
Melick: Seeing stars? Signing top-ranked players makes top-ranked college football teams Interesting, didn’t you think, that while Tennessee’s coaching staff was running its collective mouth about what a great job of recruiting they did this year, Alabama was getting its first commitment for 2010 – from a top recruit in Memphis? Especially since it happened…

Recruiting at Vanderbilt is a bit different
Recruiting at Vanderbilt is a bit different Scour the national recruiting rankings, and you won’t find Vanderbilt’s class anywhere in the Top 25. Heck, you’re lucky to find it in the Top 75, whatever that means. The Commodores won seven games last season and won a bowl game. That’s as many games as South Carolina…

Both sides frustrated with Leach contract process Monthslong communication between Texas Tech and agents for football coach Mike Leach show a growing frustration on both sides — including a rebuke to the agents from the chairman of Tech’s Board of Regents.

Lane Kiffin can fire up fans, but better not fire up rivals
Lane Kiffin can fire up fans, but better not fire up rivals Lane Kiffin seems like a smart, eager to learn, young football coach. If I were him, I would start hanging around Pat Summitt. He could absorb volumes from her, things he needs to learn if he is to become a successful head coach.…

Haley, Belichick share similarities
Haley, Belichick share similarities The similarities are eerie. They are both sons of football men. That’s obvious enough. But it goes much deeper than that. They are both sons of real football men, hard-nosed football scouts, the kind who loved to study film and break down the game and search for secrets in the rewind.…

Commentary: Recruiting shows its ugly side
Commentary: Recruiting shows its ugly side The “soft verbal” is a creepy term in the creepy world of the college football recruiting process. It adds to the sleazy nature of the beast that opens its voracious mouth every year on national feeding, er, signing day. It is part of the annual madness of greed and…

Kiffin’s mouth earns him a penalty
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&id=3887550&sportCat=ncf Man-made devices wouldn’t have been able to measure the size of Kiffin’s smirk. Problem is, Kiffin was spectacularly and laughably wrong. He was so wrong that Florida AD Jeremy Foley issued a statement that all but called 33-year-old Kiffin a punk. He was so wrong that SEC commissioner Mike Slive publicly attached Kiffin to…
