UCF: New athletic director Danny White's agreement is 5 years with "annual guaranteed compensation" of $525,000, "supplemental compensation...as determined by the President" of $50,000 and another $50,000 contributed annually to a deferred compensation plan that he gets if he stays 5 years. If White leaves for another job in the first three years, he would owe UCF $1,050,000. UCF will pay the buyout to Buffalo. In a somewhat comical note, UCF said they "don't believe" White ever applied for the position.
Illinois: Colorado AD Rick George announced tonight that he intends to stay at Colorado.

FootballScoop had heard some chatter today that if George said no that Illinois might opt to bring on a search firm (heard Parker was frontrunner).

Targeting Mobile QBs Using Pre and Post-Snap Rush Points: Getting home on a dual threat quarterback can be a mammoth task for a defensive front because rush lanes often get compromised. This is why Rhode Island University defensive line coach Joe Coniglio uses separate landmarks for both interior and exterior rushers and does so by using what he calls "vacant square" and "inside square" principles which translate into specific rush moves. In X&O Labs exclusive clinic report, Coach Coniglio details how he teaches twist games up front which happen organically when players use these aiming points. Read X&O Labs clinic report here.
