    One thing someone had mentioned this week when I was asking around, was that the early signees are guys who intend to enroll in college in January. So basically, JUCOs and guys who are good enough academically to graduate high school in December.
    Is that right? Or is it for anyone who wants to get it out of the way?

    It's changed. High schoolers are now able to sign their LOIs in December as well.

    Right. It's like basketball now. Seniors can sign in either December or February regardless of whether they are enrolling early or not.

    That I understand. However, one assistant is leaving because he got a head coaching job. Certainly understandable. The other is apparently getting fired.

    I'm still trying to find the issue. They didn't want to keep one assistant and the other is getting an opportunity to run a program.

    In actual football, Boise State just got hoisted on its own petard.
    It tried to run a Statue of Liberty play, the running back fumbled, and Oregon returned it for a touchdown. Then Boise marched right back down the field, threw an interception in the end zone and it got returned 101 yards for another score.
    So Oregon scored two defensive touchdowns in the last 40 seconds of the first half, and instead of it being at least 24-0 Boise at halftime it's now 24-14.

    That's why they're Boise State, Batman.

    Actually, I'll start a bowl thread so we can keep this one on the coaching carousel.

    The assistant that's being fired was going to run the defense a week ago.

    It kind of makes me wonder why. A two-year extension and raise? Sure. But it isn't like he isn't going to bail in the next two years anyway. Almost makes me wonder if someone besides his agent is hearing about potential NFL movement (either involving Kiffin or another P5 coach).

    Good for him, and good for the school.
