Happy New Year! | by Pat

For those watching the Cincinnati-Florida Sugar Bowl, here's your open thread. It would be a stretch to try and take too much much from the game, but UC's defensive coordinator Bob Diaco will likely be ND's defensive coordinator as soon as the game ends, so the style of defense is worth paying attention to. Likewise, UC's spread offense is more or less what we should expect next season so fell free to note what you like and don't like.

And speaking of future ND assistant coaches, it sounds like Kelly has hired his new offensive line coach. Again, it probably won't be until next week for anything official, but it sounds like former Kansas assistant Ed Warinner is ND's next line coach.
