Gill, Auburn to talk; Fisher hasn't made contact

Well, a lot happened on the coaching front while I was at what turned out to be an excellent SEC championship game.

Here's the rundown of three different development from a few different outlets:
  • Turner Gill, who has completed one of the great reclamations in college football, taking Buffalo from the bottom of the FBS to MAC champions, will talk with Auburn after the school sought permission to speak to the third-year coach, according to the Buffalo News.
  • Florida State head coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher told ESPN.com he has had no contact with Auburn and he is content to stay with the Seminoles. Fisher has been touted as the frontrunner for the Tigers' job. The Orlando Sentinel reported that Fisher will remove his name from consideration for the Auburn job.
  • Paul Johnson might parlay the buzz surrounding his name into a better contract at Georgia Tech, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Discussions will take place this week. to increase the first-year coach's seven-year deal, which pays him an average of $1.6 million per season. It seems like a lot of coaches -- Johnson, Houston Nutt, Mike Leach -- are going to get raises because of Auburn's vacancy.
