50+ min ago (285+ words) The post USF's Alex Golesh calls out untrue Arkansas report, only to wind up at Auburn instead appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Arkansas search for a new head coach put Alex Golesh squarely in the rumor mill. After Sam Pittman's firing and a 2-9 Razorbacks season, multiple reports framed the USF football team coach as the favorite in Fayetteville, pointing to his rapid rebuild in Tampa and SEC ties from his Tennessee days. Publicly, though, nothing was confirmed, and Golesh kept coaching a Bulls team that surged to a nine-win regular season and blowout wins over UAB and Rice. Right after USF's 52-3 demolition of Rice, Golesh was asked directly about a report that had effectively labeled him "the next Arkansas coach." Speaking to reporters, he pushed back hard, saying the story did not come from him and was simply not true, as…...

1+ day, 20+ hour ago (296+ words) LAWRENCE "Kansas football failed to capture an upset win at home against Utah on Friday, and lost 31-21 during Big 12 Conference play. Here's how the Jayhawks (5-7, 3-6 in Big 12) graded out from their win against the Utes (10-2, 7-2): RELATED: Kansas football falls to Utah in regular-season finale, no bowl bid This was nowhere near the performance the Jayhawks needed from quarterback Jalon Daniels, who threw three interceptions and had one of those turnovers taken back for a touchdown. As much as Kansas was able to run for 290 yards and average 5.7 yards per carry, that wasn't going to be enough to overcome the poor decisions Daniels was making while throwing the ball. That interception returned for a score has to be one of the most deflating moments of KU's season, even if Daniels came back on the next drive and threw a touchdown pass....

2+ day, 1+ hour ago (1485+ words) The 2025-26 college basketball season is underway, and the top programs around the country are starting to separate themselves from the pack. So who are the best of the best in the sport right now? We look to answer that question with our updated men's college basketball rankings, showcasing the top 25 teams heading into the weekend. Texas Tech has progressed yearly over Grant McCasland's first two seasons overseeing the Red Raiders program. Meaning 2025-26 has a lot of potential and could see the team win 30 games for the first time in 30 years. If the impressive duo of JT Toppin and Christian Anderson can continue to play like they already have this season, Texas Tech can be a tough out for teams in the Big 12. However, early-season losses to Illinois and Purdue show they are not a threat to Houston or Arizona yet....

4+ day, 14+ hour ago (314+ words) Lamar Jackson has missed the first day of practice each of the last three weeks. It hasn't been the same injury listed for the Baltimore Ravens' superstar quarterback, either. First it was knee, then ankle and now toe. This all comes after he missed three games earlier in the season with a hamstring problem. Something definitely seems a little bit off here. This is what ESPN's Dan Graziano shared about the situation in a new report on Wednesday: MORE:LeBron passes Michael in a stat that means nothing in the GOAT debate That's certainly not ideal. Jackson has managed the pain well enough of late, as the Ravens have won five in a row (four with Jackson) to improve to 6-5 and move into a tie for first in the AFC North. Baltimore plays on Thanksgiving night against the Cincinnati Bengals,…...

4+ day, 16+ hour ago (246+ words) The Arkansas Razorbacks have not yet found their head coach for the 2026 season, but that could change in a hurry. Arkansas fired head coach Sam Pittman following a 2-3 start to the 2025 season. He was then replaced by Bobby Petrino, who led the program from 2008-2011. Some fans have mentioned Jon Gruden as a potential option for Arkansas. Former ESPN analyst Mark May, meanwhile, believes Mack Brown is the perfect candidate for the Razorbacks. "If y'all hire Mack Brown, I'll come down and give those offensive linemen some lessons," May said. "I'll help you recruit if you hire Mack." Apparently, we could also add a current head coach to the mix for Arkansas. On Tuesday, someone claimed New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore is a contender for the job. They posted this message on HawgSports. Moore is currently in his first…...

4+ day, 23+ hour ago (281+ words) As we head into the final week of the college football regular season for most teams across the country, there are 12 FBS head coaching openings remaining after the Virginia Tech Hokies hired James Franklin. While the courting of the Ole Miss Rebels' Lane Kiffin by the Florida Gators and LSU Tigers has made the most headlines, there are a handful of intriguing jobs around the country that are also quite interesting. One of those is the Arkansas Razorbacks' opening, as they fired sixth-year head coach Sam Pittman after the team's 2-3 start to the season. When speaking at the Little Rock Touchdown Club recently, May suggested that Arkansas hire former Texas Longhorns and North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Mack Brown. He even offered to help Brown coach up the offensive line if he were to be hired. "He knows the…...

6+ day, 4+ hour ago (363+ words) Lamar Jackson was listed as a DNP for a Baltimore Ravens practice Monday for a third straight week with another new injury, this time to his toe. The injury for Jackson, whose 2025 season has been plagued by injuries, wasn't previously disclosed. Jackson missed a practice last week with an ankle injury. The week prior, he was sidelined in practice with knee soreness. Jackson previously missed three games with a hamstring injury. Monday's injury surfaced on a short week for the Ravens as they prepare for a Thanksgiving matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, who expect to have quarterback Joe Burrow back from his own toe injury. The Ravens conducted a walkthrough on Monday rather than a full practice. Jackson's status indicates that he would not have been available had the Ravens practiced in full. The precise nature of the injury isn't…...

6+ day, 7+ hour ago (621+ words) FAYETTEVILLE " This was not the intended path when John Calipari and D.J. Wagner agreed to join forces in 2022. When he committed to Kentucky, following in his father's footsteps of playing for Calipari, Wagner was the No. 1 recruit in America. He was supposed to be a one-year player in college before becoming a lottery pick in the NBA draft. Instead, Wagner is in the midst of his third year at the collegiate level, now at his second school with Arkansas basketball. He's still playing for the same coach that recruited him out of Camden High School, and Calipari sees a different version of Wagner now as the experienced veteran. Maturation often happens through adversity, and Wagner's first two seasons were far from smooth. He dealt with a nagging ankle injury as a freshman at Kentucky. The ailment might have been the biggest…...
