Sort of like a Muschamp-Brown situation at Texas except Bellotti has a designated job as an AD. I wonder how this will impact the decision of WR Diante Jackson?

Strange
I remember that story about Belotti hiding the fact that a player (his son) got in trouble with the law and then his wife attacking the reporter who broke the story…
I’m guessing Phil Knight is a big Bellotti fan for this to happen.

Chris Jessie - announced next coach after Muschamp

OOPS: Chris Jessie, stepson of Texas coach Mack Brown, steps onto the field, apparently touching an ASU fumble during the second quarter. Texas was given a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct and the Devils scored on the next play.

Well...
Muschamp always seems like he’s 5 minutes from putting on a jersey and tackling someone. This guy just took it one step further.
OT – I’m still not sure if he touched it or not. It’s really close… and really dumb regardless.

It's offical here
Looks like a ploy to keep Kelly here and not have him take another job, Belotti hasn’t said when or if he will retire. But if I am Kelly I would keep my options open, he could still come back after Belotti retires.
