Silly Season 2015/2016 (Coaching Changes)

[TheSunIsRising]

If those UT's are for Texas and Tennessee I would like to know what brought you to the conclusion that they will be coachless soon? I don't see Stone or Davis coaching anywhere else and they are not getting fired.

Strong & Jones??

(or did Texas and Tennessee just have a coaching change this weekend?? )

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Maybe one of the UT's is Toledo :

If Toledo keeps it up, Matt Campbell will be more than just a sought after commodity; he will be on every AD's Christmas list!

The Rockets are far from having a coach on the hot seat, but they probably will be looking after this season. Unless the President and board loosen up the purse strings. After all, they can buy her a 900K house; (do you know what that takes in the NWO market?)

Originally, Matt wanted to stay long-term at U of T and build a program. He mustered a lot of resources in troubled times (for the University), and did better than his most enthusiastic supporters could have expected.

But Matt is young. Hopefully he is still young enough that it will count against him with the elite programs.

In my opinion, he is one of the few guys I wish ND could bring in at a time in the future, based upon his resume, his character and what I expect from his future growth, and development as a coach.

I have a gut feeling USC found their new head coach. They really need to put the decadent decade of Pete Carroll behind them.

Time of Terror!

I just thought of a subject for a great Halloween short :

This year, just in time for Halloween, The University of Miami - Graveyard of coaches rises up and beckons again. [Shows pictures of a mostly empty stadium during almost any home game.]

This ghostly apparition demands a new blood sacrifice! First Coker, then Sharp, now Golden. [Pictures of all these coaches, first in their energetic glory as new coaches, and then just before the axe falls!] All these young and hopeful coaches, felled before their prime, by a program that can't find a way to play home games within an hour of their campus.

Time of terror! Who will be next?!?!?!?!

Strong & Jones??

My bad... NOT sure why I put Davis, my phone auto corrected Strong to Stone due to my posting in the what are you drinking thread.

Moral of the story, proofread!

Too bad. He's a heck of a coach. Wish him well.

 

[rtrn2glory]

That's a job I could see Campbell at Toledo taking.

Or Fleck at Western Michigan.

Best of luck to Coach Kill he hung in there as long as he could, and his players seemed to love him.

"Last night when I walked off the practice field, I feel like a part of me died," Kill told reporters.

"People are going to ask, 'What are you going to do now,'" Kill said. "I don't know. I've never done anything else."

Right in the feels

Wow!

Minnesota
USC
U$C
Maryland
UCF
Miami

I feel like I am missing someone.

That's a lot of jobs open with the season only at it's midway point.

Maryland needs to open the purse and get a good coach. Throw in a little UA money and that program should be better than it is. Sneak down the Carolina's, Va, and over into the upper midwest and pull some recruits. No reason why the Terps couldn't be successful with the right coach running things.

They had the right coach, and then they got greedy. Bring back the Fridge!

Oregon just signed Heilfrich to a 5 year extension that is a freaking bargain. Well done by them.

looking like a bad deal these days

 

[texbender]

UNT has an opening.
Wonder if SMU coach will depart for more lucrative stop? Houston coach, too?
Isn't Rutgers coach on way out?
Will PSU coach hang, or bolt?
How long will Davey hang in at UNM?
Will definitely be an interesting off season, with big time program hires that will undoubtedly affect other schools.

This is really sad. He was doing a good job.

I have been saying this since they hired Edsall. I thought it was a very bad hire. With the talent in MD,Northern DE,PA,NJ,NC,OH,DC there is no reason they should be this bad.

So this was the old thread from last year... I'll get around to cleaning up the front page later today.

He has had a nice career at VT but this move might be to late.

Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer to retire at end of season

The winningest major college coach ... 26-22 past 4 years struggling to get to .500 this year.

Beamer was a great coach but it seems time has passed him by a little bit. Good luck to him.

Now... Va Tech's DC. He would be one I would look at to replace BVG if that day comes.

Ever since he left southern cal (Tennessee Titans, UCLA, and Utah), he's stunk. Certainly not the offensive genius some thought he was when he doesn't have the benefits associated with a renegade program.

Is it a given that the DC will get that job?
