Or they can just hire Al Gore. After all, Al invented football.

AlGore, what a GREAT idea! Well, maybe Nick uses the rumour to up his package at LSU. The upping his package was in the news yesterday.

Great Job Mr. Blank!!! Now let's see if it can rub off on the BEARS organization. They can keep Jauron, but the offensive coordinator has to go!

Back to the ATL; I hear the choices for replacement next year are former Minnesota coach Dennis Green and college coaches Bob Stoops of Oklahoma , Nick Saban of LSU and Kirk Ferentz of Iowa .

Reeves seem to be a great coach (the sixth-winningest coach in NFL history), but he just can't get along with his QB's (Elway and now Vick).

No one will get Stoops away from OU. Why would he give up godhood for the NFL.

Nick Sabian has a quote in the sporting news that is something like 'Why would I want to coach a bunch of spoiled brats when I can coach college kids'

I don't think Sabian wants back in pro coaching
