rams80 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Firing Ellis Johnson who was 0-12 after his initial at Southern Miss gives us 14 openings. To be fair to Southern Miss, this team won Conference USA last season, has been consistently hanging around the 6-9 win range since 1990, and was projected to be in said range this season. Also, it is arguable he just cost Southern Miss Big East membership.

And nothing official yet, but it's being reported that Mark Stoops has accepted the Kentucky job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 There are rumors that a booster-fueled palace coup may be in progress at Texas. Mack Brown could "resign" at some point in the next week. On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

dfwabel Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 A couple of reasons why rumors are just that and why tweets cannot be trustes:Footballscoop.com wrongly reported a Western Michigan hire.The Charlie Strong interviewing at Auburn report from The Birmingham News.As for Colorado, I still don't think that AD Mike Bohn should be the one to hire a coach. He has fired three (Barnett, Hawkins, Embree) and hired the last two. Regardless of local/alumni factors, he should not be given a chance to hire a third coach. Today's (Wednesday) ESPNU podcast with Ivan Maisel had Chris Fowler (a CU alum) on and Fowler was pretty damn honest on the situation an alum with overall knowledge of college football operations.

Cujo Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If Colorado does hire Mangino, there will be "June Jones" backlash by Colorado alumns and fans. I also agree with what dfwabel said regarding Bohn. In fact, I would go so far as to say CU should hold out on hiring a head coach until the find a replacement for Bohn. (Yes, he needs to go!)

I also agree with what dfwabel said regarding Bohn. In fact, I would go so far as to say CU should hold out on hiring a head coach until the find a replacement for Bohn. (Yes, he needs to go!)I just don't think that if you, as a CEO make two poor hires in your major position, you should not be able to get the opportunity to make a third.As far as the Colorado job, that team was young and the issues which Hawkins had in recruiting impacted Embree greatly. Now, Embree's record was unacceptable and there was a real reason to dismiss him. Colorado "people" wanted too many coaches who were connected to McCartney era and it got them zero home wins in 2012. Fact is that the state of Colorado is not a hub of 4 or 5-star HS players. Players of that caliber don't equate to a team's success, but there is little in-state talent. The last big name Colorado HS talent I recall was RB-Marcus Houston (not the IMX singer/actor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Steve Sarkisian is on his third bowl game after a long time of not very much for the Huskies. I think the job stays his until he himself finds something better (maybe back to USC?).DG,I look at the Washington job like many alums look at it. Sarkisian is not making the team better when getting paid $2.25+M. He is currently 26-23. The following are the records of other coaches still at the same school hired for the 2009 season:Dabo Swinney (Clemson) 35-18Dan Mullen (Miss. St.) 29-21Paul Rhoads (Iowa St) 24-26Doug Marrone (Syarcuse) 24-25Gary Andersen (UT St.) 25-24Danny Hope (Purdue) 21-27 FIREDUW has higher expectations for their program than each of those other schools. They fired staff last year and gave major money to assistants who really did not improve the team. The Wazzu loss was bad since they blew an 18 point lead in the 4th and lost to THAT team.

Cujo Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Colorado's firing of Jon Embree was anything BUT racially motivated. When you go 4-21 in two seasons, you just flat-out suck. Somebody please tell that to Bill McCartney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
