College Football News and Notes
We haven't posted anything at Trentonian U in awhile, but here's a look at some news and notes from college football...
Unconfirmed reports began surfacing last week that UCLA was in the process of dismissing offensive coordinator Norm Chow.
Today, unconfirmed reports surfaced that current San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Johnson had reached an agreement with UCLA to join the Bruins in the same capacity.
The Daily Bruin points out that the flux in the school's offensive coordinator position might be so that Chow is allowed time to find a job before the Johnson hire is formally announced.
Regardless, as of right now it looks like Norm Chow is still the offensive coordinator at UCLA.

Long was given a five-year contract worth $800,000 a year. San Diego State athletic director Jim Sterk also notes that Michigan will be paying $1 million as a buyout for Hoke's contract.
Hoke last month had just signed a two-year extension to his original five-year contract signed in 2008.
Long and Hoke will not have to wait long to see each other, as the Aztecs visit the Wolverines on September 24th.
