Most college coaching searches are conducted over weeks, sometimes days. To find a replacement for Maryland football coach Randy Edsall, athletic director Kevin Anderson will have a couple of months. In some ways, it might make the search easier, given that Anderson will have a lot more time than he did when he hired Edsall to replace Ralph Friedgen in 2011.

"Seven football players arrested on sex-related charges" — the headline in the New York Times made me think that here's another case of football players behaving badly toward women. But the story went in another direction.

A punishing lineman on the field, Ravens' John Urschel is more of the quiet, professor-type off it.

Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell met with Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford during his lengthy Friday interview along with Lions vice chairman Bill Ford Jr., during what was described as an "excellent, outstanding interview" by Fritz Pollard Alliance chairman John Wooten.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh was presented the Amos Alonzo Stagg Coaching Award on Monday at team headquarters, recognition for winning Super Bowl XLVII last season.

Sometimes, Maryland defensive line coach Greg Gattuso will lapse back to when he was a howling bear of a head coach stalking the sidelines as if looking for prey.

We need more attention on helping sexual abuse survivors, less on the travails of Penn State football.

Son of former Oriole Mickey Tettleton lead Ohio University to upset of Penn State

Sadly, the theme of the story was simply a rehash of the same old media hype ¿ football ruled Penn State and Joe Paterno was king. Glimmers of truth shone through in his article with "People rarely talked about the excellent education that students received there." But he neglected to mention the excellent graduation rate of Penn State's student-athletes (87 percent), consistently the highest in the nation.
