Matt Burke '98, a former Dartmouth defensive back with 12 years as an NFL assistant behind him, is moving from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Miami Dolphins as linebackers coach. From a story out of Cincinnati.com (LINK)"Coach Burke, man, he’s like a player’s coach," linebacker Emmanuel Lamur said. "He understands. He put himself in our shoes. He sees things from a different perspective. He’s a great coach in what he does. Sometimes coaching is not all about coaching. it’s also having a good relationship with your players and vice versa. He’s done a great job in just explaining things thoroughly."

In a piece revisiting the number of national championships claimed by Alabama, Sports Illustrated writes of the 1925 season:Alabama (10–0) says the school shares the national title for this year with Dartmouth (8-0). The claim is based on votes by the Helms Athletic Foundation and the College Football Researchers Association. However, both HAF and CFRA were not founded until years later, meaning Alabama’s 1925 title was retroactively awarded. Alabama is not the only school to retroactively claim a title. In fact, schools are permitted to declare titles based on a set of standards of their own choosing. The NCAA only lists Alabama.
