Ray Melick takes a look at the shenanigans of hiring former coaches as graduate assistants.

In Tuscaloosa, Alabama is expected to bring on former Virginia offensive coordinator Mike Groh as a graduate assistant. In Knoxville, Tennessee is reportedly set to make former Minnesota and Syracuse offensive coordinator Mitch Browning a graduate assistant. In Auburn, Gene Chizik brought in his tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator from Iowa State, Scott Fountain, as Football Operations Coordinator.

Obviously the NCAA is going to outlaw this shiznit and they should. Graduate positions were created as a way for students entering the coaching profession to get their feet wet. My suggestion for a rule would be you cannot be a graduate assistant once you are paid to coach at the college or professional level. Also, why would anyone not named Al let Mike Groh any where near their team?

Scrimmaging during Spring? Furrer4heisman wants to know why teams cannot hold a scrimmage during the spring.

I think it would be in the sports best interest to let teams scrimmage. If not in August, then at least during spring drills. Virginia Tech would get a much better bearing on its players and be better prepared for Alabama if it was allowed to scrimmage Liberty or another team that’s close by prior to the season.

I tried thinking of logical reasons as to why this cannot happen and I’ve got nothing. Its kind of like a playoff, it makes too much sense.

Ginormous Sandwiches Rule with a Greasy Fist

The sandwich above is from Primanti Brothers. I had the pleasure of eating a pastrami sandwich from there and I came so hard while eating it I impregnated a woman two booths down. Check out the rest at The Angry T.
