I wouldn’t want that mess, but I’m not a football coach. I enjoy having a normal life. You take that job then you better be ready to deal with craziness every single day. 

I think Saban should shock everybody and take the Michigan job…..just for the hell of it…..then we could watch Bama heads explode!

That might be one of the best things to happen in the sport in years. Would be plenty of Lulz on that Finebaum show for sure.

Neal Brown bringing a state champion high school coach to North Texas

By Zach Barnett   Dec 17, 2025

North Crowley (Texas) High School head coach Ray Gates is joining Neal Brown's new North Texas staff, according to a report on Wednesday from Matt Stepp of Dave Campbell's Texas Football.

Viewed as one of the rising stars in Texas high school coaching, Gates went 54-4 in his four seasons at North Crowley, his first head coaching job. Located just south of Fort Worth, the Panthers went 7-4 and finished in third place in their district prior to his arrival, and did not post a winning record from 2006-19. 

Gates first North Crowley team went 12-1 and reached the regional semifinals, and the Panthers then went 14-1 and fell in the state semifinals in 2023. The 2024 outfit went 16-0 and won the Class 6A Division I state championship. 

North Crowley is the only school other than Duncanville, Galena Park North Shore or Austin Westlake to win the championship in Texas's largest classification since 2017. They became the first Greater Fort Worth school to win a state championship since their own 4A title in 2003. Gates was named the MaxPreps national coach of the year following last season.

Ironically, Gates's North Crowley tenure ended at his new place of work; the Panthers lost to Allen in the Region I final on Dec. 5. He's expected to serve as a special assistant to head coach Brown at North Texas while also working with the Mean Green's edge defenders. Gates was the defensive coordinator at Cedar Hill, Joey McGuire's former school, before landing the North Crowley job. He previously served as a graduate assistant at West Texas A&M.

Personnel move by Auburn...

Sources: Auburn lands top young executive for key off-field role

By John Brice    Dec 16, 2025 

Alex Golesh continues to assemble quite the first-year staff for his inaugural season atop the Auburn Tigers football program.

Golesh's right-hand man, Andrew Warsaw, the Tigers' general manager, is making his own major moves for the Auburn program as well.

Multiple sources tell FootballScoop that Golesh, Warsaw and the Tigers are hiring Luke Haker, one of the top, up-and-coming directors of football operations in collegiate athletics, for Auburn's DFO position.

It was just earlier this fall that Haker was nominated for FootballScoop's annual DFO of the Year award by his current boss, record-setting Austin Peay coach Jeff Faris.

"Luke Haker is as relentless, organized and forward-thinking as anyone I've been around," Faris, at the time of his nomination of Haker, told FootballScoop. "Players love him. He handles every component of operations seamlessly.

"As the head coach, he takes so much off my plate it allows me to focus on what I love most. His work ethic and ability to stay one step ahead are unmatched."

Already with experience in the NFL at the Cleveland Browns and in the Southeastern Conference at Mississippi State, Haker also is set to be reunited on the Plains with Warsaw -- his longtime mentor.

He's worked with some of college football's new wave of ascending head coaches. In addition to his time as chief of staff and director of team operations at Austin Peay for Faris the past two years, Haker also served as assistant director of football operations for Charles Huff at Marshall from 2021-22. There, Haker was part of the Marshall Thundering Herd team that shocked the college football world with its win at then-nationally ranked Notre Dame -- a triumph that prompted West Virginia's governor to call Huff and the Herd on their flight home.

Haker is a Mississippi State alum.
