Steven M. Sipple: Fisher, Held check key boxes; Burrow's stage; and BTN analyst goes too far

Things I know, and things I think I know:

If you're in the workforce and want to stay in the workforce — and also want to get paid handsomely — you could learn something from secondary coach Travis Fisher and Ryan Held.

Imagine the reaction of plugged-in Nebraska football fans if Husker head coach Scott Frost had lost Fisher to Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. There would have been ample concern, even some (misguided) panic. But Frost reacted properly last month when Kiffin came calling. Fisher, basically in a snap, received a $125,000 raise and now makes $450,000, a standard salary for an SEC secondary coach.
