The College Coaching carousel never seems to stop. On Tuesday, Rice Football coach agreed to a 5 year extension to keep him with the Owls until 2012. Now there's word the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes want Graham back in Oklahoma.

There's even a report a contract is on the table, all which has not been confirmed either by the school or by Graham.

Contracts these days contain all kinds of outs. Texas A&M was able to steer Dennis Franchone away from Alabama, and last week the Crimson Tide rolled over the Miami Dolphins bringing Nick Saban back to the college game. So in the world where contracts used to be your word, there's always an exception.

So far Graham has taken the high road, or at least kept his mouth closed. Calls have not been returned. Saban on the other hand foolishly stated to the reporters as late as December 21st he was not taking the Alabama job only to have his credibility questioned a few weeks later.

Graham guided the Owls to their first bowl game in 45 years, but even he admits there's still a lot of work to do at Rice.
