1. If you're worried about Oklahoma tailback Adrian Peterson's ankle, don't. When offseason conditioning began, Peterson ran a 4.41 in the 40. Strength coach Jerry Schmidt announced, "4.4" and told Peterson not to run again. When a couple of teammates also ran "4.4s", albeit 4.46 or so, Peterson's competitive instinct took over. He got back in line. This time: 4.35.
2. There may not have been many head coaching changes, but coordinators continue to move around. That's just another sign that next year, there will be a lot of head coaching changes. When the mob comes, throw them a coordinator. That staves them off for a year. If the mob comes back, coordinators won't be enough.
3. Michigan's Lloyd Carr replaced his coordinators quietly and bloodlessly. In the last few days, Terry Malone (offense) and Jim Herrmann (defense) left for the NFL, replaced by fellow staffers Mike DeBord and, after a two-day stint with the Bears, Ron English, respectively. Smart moves by Carr, even if no one at Fortress Wolverine ever acknowledged the need for change.
