The Trib: Eberflus surprised by Browns
Considering the Tigers’ struggles on defense last season — and the buyout clause in Eberflus’ contract — some have speculated that Pinkel might have orchestrated Eberflus’ interview in lieu of firing his coordinator. But sources have refuted that theory.
“There were no closed-door talks that Gary wanted Matt to get another job this year. That never happened,” one person said. “If Gary wanted Matt to leave, he would fire him. He doesn’t play games like, ‘We’re going to help find you a job to get you out of here.’ Gary’s not like that.”
Baseball links! A mighty forgettable weekend for Mizzou in Arizona...I don't believe giving up 30 runs in 3 games after a season-opening 12-1 win was the plan...
