Falwell says Trump offered him education secretary job (AP) — Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. says President elect-Donald Trump offered him the job of education secretary, but that he turned it down for personal reasons.

Unfortunately for the 49ers, Dolphins rookie head coach Adam Gase figured something out about his offense last month: Specifically, Miami is quite good when it hands off to Jay Ajayi, a 2015 fifth-round pick who had 31 carries in his first four games. Ajayi has since averaged 23 carries and 136 yards during Miami’s five-game winning streak. Gase’s bad-coaching correction is a bad omen for the 49ers (1-9), who will visit Miami on Sunday in danger of becoming the only team in the franchise’s 70-year history to lose 10 straight games.
