Michigan , but it wasn't enough to save the job of offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell. The , which also included quarterbacks coach. Tight ends coach Steve Casula will become the interim offensive coordinator for bowl season. Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore's comment, via the program: "After a thorough assessment of our offense, I made the decision to relieve Kirk Campbell of his duties and move in a different direction," said Moore. "This was a decision that I felt was in the best interest of our football program. I want to thank Kirk for his hard work and dedication to the university, Michigan Football and our student-athletes. I wish him well in his future coaching endeavors." It was a challenging year for Michigan in its first season under Moore, who took over for Jim Harbaugh full-time after a breakthrough national championship. Moore filled his old offensive coordinator position with Campbell, who was previously the program's quarterbacks coach in 2023 and an offensive analyst in 2022. Before Michigan, Campbell's play-calling experience consisted of stints at Old Dominion and Division II Alderson Broaddus. The offensive results weren't pretty for Michigan, which also saw seven offensive players get selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, including quarterback J.J. McCarthy, running back Blake Corum and wide receiver Roman Wilson. The Wolverines ranked 117th in the country in yards per play — after ranking 24th last season — and didn't score more than 17 points in any of its six games against ranked opponents. Those struggles didn't prevent Michigan from , though the numbers from that game normally wouldn't be an argument for keeping Campbell. Quarterback Davis Warren was 9-for-16 for 62 passing yards and two interceptions, while the run game averaged 4.2 yards on 41 attempts. Before its game-winning field goal, Michigan had scored all of its points on drives of three yards or less. Its touchdown came after an interception deep in Buckeyes territory, while the first field goal was the product of a weak punt and a three-and-out. As for what Michigan will do going forward, it at least has plenty to offer the next offensive coordinator. Thanks to a donation from tech billionaire Larry Ellison, the program was able to . It helps when .

On Sunday of Week 12, the wackiest game of the 1 P.M. window was easily the NFC East divisional rivalry matchup between the Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys. Dallas' 34-26 victory over Washington featured more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie, most via the special teams variety. Special teams in the Dallas vs. Washington game today has had a blocked field goal, a blocked punt, three missed field goals, two missed extra points, a 99-yard kickoff return, and an onside kickoff return touchdown. WHAT IN THE WORLD. https://t.co/5UUbcItPl8 The first half was a low-scoring affair, with both teams going into the break tied at three. It could have seen more points on the board had the two teams not combined for three missed field goals, though. That was only the warmup act. After the Cowboys went ahead 20-9 late in the fourth quarter, things truly went off the rails. Zach Ertz caught a late touchdown, and following a successful two-point conversion attempt, Washington was within three and needed to hold Dallas to a punt to have a chance to tie or take the lead. Instead, the Commanders allowed a KaVontae Turpin kickoff return touchdown to find themselves down 27-17. Still, the game was far from over. Washington quickly got within field goal range to get back within one score, then forced a Dallas three-and-out following an onside kick attempt and received the ball needing a touchdown with no timeouts and less than a minute to play. They got it on the first play from scrimmage on an 86-yard Terry McLaurin catch and run ... just for Austin Seibert to miss the extra point. Even still , there was more. The Cowboys took the next onside kick attempt to the house, which was ironically the best possible outcome for the Commanders, who got the ball back one more time hoping for some more Hail Mary magic . This time, though, it was not to be found and the Cowboys won 34-26. All in all, the game was a comedy of errors on special teams, mostly on Washington's side. That ended up being what made the difference, and instead of improving to 8-4, the Commanders lose their third straight and drop to a record of 7-5.

Qualcomm Scores Key Win In Licensing Dispute With ArmFew companies in the world are as old and as successful as The Coca-Cola Company ( KO 0.16% ) . Its namesake drink was invented in 1886, and the logo for this beverage company is reportedly recognizable by an astounding 94% of the world's population today. Its scale is absolutely massive, and the market capitalization is an enormous $270 billion. Founded in 1923, The Walt Disney Company ( DIS 0.59% ) isn't as old as Coca-Cola. But its brand is similarly far-reaching. According to the Los Angeles Times , more people have heard of Mickey Mouse than Santa Claus. It's not surprising that this company has also reached a hefty market cap of more than $200 billion. As big and as iconic as Coca-Cola and Disney are, it's hard to imagine younger companies being more valuable. But the truth is that both of these companies are slow-growing, meaning their respective market valuations are going up relatively slowly, allowing some faster-growth companies to make up ground. A decade from now, I believe that MercadoLibre ( MELI 3.26% ) and Airbnb ( ABNB 3.76% ) could be worth more than Coca-Cola and Disney. Here's why. 1. MercadoLibre: $88 billion market cap As of this writing, MercadoLibre needs to gain about 130% to overtake Disney and gain about 210% to surpass Coca-Cola. I wouldn't be surprised to see MercadoLibre pass Disney within the next five years and Coca-Cola within the next 10. MercadoLibre already has the dominant e-commerce platform of Latin America, but it has ways to increase its market share in this still fast-growing space. For starters, the company launched loyalty program Meli+ last year, which gives its users perks that many other platforms don't offer. That's good incentive to use it over some rivals. One of the things offered by the loyalty program is free shipping. This is only possible because MercadoLibre spent years building its impressive logistics network. It can ship many products free and fast, which is an important driver of adoption. In terms of incremental opportunity, MercadoLibre's large e-commerce presence gives it the ability to branch into the rewarding new business of advertising. Consider that Amazon launched advertising relatively recently. In the third quarter of 2020, it had just $5 billion in revenue from advertising services, whereas it had well over $14 billion in Q3 2024. MercadoLibre's advertising revenue won't necessarily be this big. But the growth trajectory will likely follow a similar path. For the requisite growth to carry MercadoLibre's valuation beyond $200 billion, e-commerce, logistics, loyalty programs, and advertising are promising enough on their own. But there's an entire other component of the company in financial technology, and all those metrics are growing at strong double-digit rates as well. In short, MercadoLibre does business in a lot of different areas, and all are fast-growing. Therefore, when looking 10 years down the road, I feel confident that MercadoLibre could be worth $300 billion or more. 2. Airbnb: $81 billion market cap Airbnb stock needs to go up by 152% and 237% to pass Disney and Coca-Cola, respectively. But even though it needs to go up by more than MercadoLibre stock, I still think that Airbnb can get there on a similar timetable due to its big opportunities. Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky recently said: "What I expect is every year now, for the coming years, we will launch one to two new businesses that will generate $1 billion or more of revenue incrementally a year." Some of these launches could be in areas such as travel software and tourism experiences, but not all launches will necessarily be travel-related. Investors should temper expectations. But I believe the high-upside strategy is what's particularly exciting here. Airbnb is looking to try a lot of big ideas over the next decade. Many will probably fail. But by trying a lot of things, the odds increase for finding another lucrative revenue stream. Regarding the potential to pass Coca-Cola or Disney in value, I think that Airbnb will eventually come up with something that will get it there. Airbnb's core business is solid, which allows for experimentation elsewhere. For perspective, nearly 123 million nights and experiences were booked on the platform during Q3 2024 alone. It also generated $3.7 billion in revenue at a free-cash-flow margin of 29%. That's incredibly strong. Indeed, over the last five years, Airbnb's revenue has more than doubled and its free cash flow has skyrocketed, which is great for investors. ABNB Free Cash Flow Per Share data by YCharts. In other words, my investment thesis for Airbnb here is that its core business is rock solid, still growing, and incredibly profitable. This alone represents an upside opportunity for shareholders. But the company is also using its financial strength to experiment with many adjacent opportunities. If just one of these experiments is successful over the next decade, I believe this could provide the additional lift needed to surpass even Coca-Cola's value. Over the long term, growth is an extremely important component in investing. Looking at MercadoLibre and Airbnb, it's clear that a healthy amount of growth will be served up during the next decade. This is why I believe both could become more valuable than Coca-Cola and Disney, and it's why both are key holdings in my own portfolio.
