So my doctor sent me to have a MRI yesterday evening as the pain and swelling in my fractured heel still remains after physical therapy and immobilization for nine weeks.

Will He or Won’t He? – With the departure of offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin imminent, Alabama head coach Nick Saban will not say whether or not Kiffin will stay on and coach through the College Football Playoff.

No Longer Men of Troy – The USC Trojans and head coach Clay Helton have lost a commitment for the second time this week, this time being three-star cornerback Wylan Free.

Unfortunately, after further consideration and talking it over with my family, I have decided to respectfully announce my decommitment from USC, and [I will] open up my recruiting process again.”
Weird Times in Oxford – The season was a disappointment for Ole Miss, with the Rebels ended 5-7 and missing out on a bowl game. Now, head coach Hugh Freeze must find both an offensive and defensive coordinator, after co-offensive coordinator Dan Werner was fired on Thursday.
