[mdklatt]

John L. Smith is gone at Arkansas, no surprise. They want to move quickly to find his replacement but no candidates have been mentioned.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8668259/john-l-smith-back-coach-arkansas-razorbacks

[mdklatt]

And of course Chizik is gone at Bama Aggy. They're also facing new NCAA scrutiny, so "dumpster fire" is an understatement. More like a landfill conflagration on The Plains.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8674097/gene-chizik-fired-auburn-tigers

[badger]

OK, I think I found all of the current ones. Please post rumors, hirings, firings, retirements, etc.

I checked out every rumor I could find --- no imminent firings in the works other than Purdue at the moment, reportedly.

Stay tuned...

[Flying Scotsman]

Chizik back to Tejas to work for Mack?

[bluedogok]

I think UT is too "high and mighty" to take someone while they still have an NCAA "taint" on them, even as an assistant. Chizik is probably going to have to do a similar redemption tour through a mid-major unless he get the "just cause" tag slapped on him by the NCAA.

[bluedogok]

Boston College head coach Frank Spaziani will not be retained.

Boston Globe - AD Brad Bates lowers boom on Boston College football coach Frank Spaziani (http://www.boston.com/sports/colleges/football/2012/11/25/brad-bates-lowers-boom-boston-college-football-coach-frank-spaziani/09ulIqCoIfdEgqfRwGml8M/story.html)

[Sabanball]

Keep your eye on James Franklin at Vanderbilt. He's going to get some offers.

[Sabanball]

Jon Embree is out at Colorado after just two seasons, per Bruce Feldman @CBS Sports.

[mdklatt]

Jon Embree is out at Colorado after just two seasons, per Bruce Feldman @CBS Sports.

CU has a football team? I thought they dropped football after leaving for the Pac-12. When I saw that Utah or Oregon or whoever beat "COLO" by 50 points week after week I just assumed it was this Colorado (http://www.coloradocollege.edu/).

[badger]

That surprises me, not cuz of the losses, but cuz i read that the utah win this weekend saved jon and that he could get away with just ousting assistants and get another year coaching the beefaloes. Guess not.

Ive also checked up on rumors on june jones (smu), skip holtz (usf) and ruffie mcneill (ecu, but yall may remember him as leach's HUGE assistant at tech). They all have been rumored to have hot seats, but didnt see anything definite on ousters for them.

There were tons others but didnt find anything of substance.

I think with the year we had, our coaches are all safe from poaching and from firing... good but not spectacular season. The programs that have been consistently good, however, are gonna have to up salaries or see exoduses. Think anyone major gives frank solich another chance? I think nebraska didnt suck as much as their ex-ad suggested... i think nebraska is just never going to be what it once was under dr ozzie

[swardboy]

i think nebraska is just never going to be what it once was under dr ozzie

I think most cornholios would disagree, being in the first B10 championship game. Ok, so they're delusional.

[bluedogok]

It might have helped him if CU would have won.....instead they lost a closer game than most of them this season. This was the first time they have not won a home game in a season, their only win was against CSU at Mile High.

CSU went 4-8 with first year coach Jim McElwain. Air Force went 6-6, not a great season for college football here on the Front Range.

Denver Post - Jon Embree fired as Colorado Buffaloes coach, says he needed more time (http://www.denverpost.com/cu/ci_22064455/jon-embree-out-colorado-buffaloes-football-coach)

[Plexis22]

This was the first time they have not won a home game in a season, their only win was against CSU at Mile High.


CU lost to CSU this season. Their lone win was against Mike Leach at Washington State.

[bluedogok]

CU lost to CSU this season. Their lone win was against Mike Leach at Washington State.
That's right, we listened to the game that day and CSU eeked it out.

[badger]

list updated. i'm sure more will be added after next week/bowl season.

[8timechamps]

Who's next to be fired? Randy Edsall @ Maryland? What about Lane Kiffin?

[badger]

ah memories...

Ive also checked up on rumors on june jones (smu)

I doubt June Jones will be going anywhere. Back in 2010, he signed a contract extension through 2014. SMU didn't have a stellar year this year. See how it goes next year though.

[Scott D]

I doubt June Jones will be going anywhere. Back in 2010, he signed a contract extension through 2014. SMU didn't have a stellar year this year. See how it goes next year though.

I just had to look

everybody's favorite Gilbert 53% completions 14 TD 13 INT 2720 Yds
his replacement Ash 68% completions 17 TD 7 INT 2458 Yds

Serves no real purpose...was just amused is all.

[deweydw]

I got to go to an SMU game this year. When they played Sam Houston State. It was a blow out. Gilbert did not impress. But it seemed everyone loves JJ. If they have a good season next year. He may stick around a while.

By the way, two foot long corndogs. And two fresh squeezed lemonades, $22.

[redkid]

look for monken at OSU to be mentioned as candidate for HC somewhere

[Scott D]

Things that amuse me,
I wonder where Todd Graham's dream job is this year ;)
How sad is it that right now staying at Miss. St. or Ole Miss is more desirable than coaching at Tenn. or Auburn.
Petrino will probably be the top choice for Auburn, although, he's allegedly in Tennessee's top three candidates as well.
Arky fan thinks they will get Chris Petersen to leave his empire in Boise.
Tennessee seems to be putting all of their eggs in the Gruden basket.

Someone to keep an eye on as a potential for the SEC jobs may actually be Jeff Tedford. He got jobbed by Cal hardcore, and will be successful elsewhere.

[Boomer.....]

Word is that Gundy might not be as happy as we thought with Holder and T Bone.

[Scott D]

no contact made at this point, but Auburn appears to be hotter for Kirby Smart than Bobby Petrino.

[bluedogok]

Someone to keep an eye on as a potential for the SEC jobs may actually be Jeff Tedford. He got jobbed by Cal hardcore, and will be successful elsewhere.
Cal's Tedford is the hot rumor for CU around here, he has a $6.9 million buyout for not coaching this year, any salary made will be deducted from that. Others rumored to be interested are Fresno State's Tim DeRuyter and Colorado School of Mines Bob Stitt.
Denver Post - After Embree firing, Colorado and Mike Bohn will pay for Buffs football (http://www.denverpost.com/cu/ci_22070004/embree-firing-colorado-mike-bohn-football)

[badger]

Remember when two years till firing was declared unfair?

Welll... ONE year is the new TWO years... especially if you go 0-12 that ONE year! (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/article.aspx?subjectid=231&articleid=20121127_231_0_Suhris566154)

[Scott D]

Rumored Candidates for the NC State job....

Chad Morris (Clemson OC)
Mike Leach (Washington St. HC)

[badger]

MARKY MARK!

Translation: Mark Stoops is the new Kentucky coach... poor Mark.

[bluedogok]

Seems like Morgan State's coach Donald Hill-Eley is out, through an inadvertent email....

Yahoo Sports - Morgan State coach learns of a plan to fire him through an inadvertently forwarded email (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/morgan-state-coach-learns-plan-fire-him-inadvertently-004059077--ncaaf.html)

This still surprises me. Gundy would be a great hire for Tennessee, but I would never have thought he would leave Stillwater.

Is orange power crying?

[CowboyMRW]

Is orange power crying?

The zoo probably is but I spend all my time in the A/V where there is a lot more level headedness

[bluedogok]

This still surprises me. Gundy would be a great hire for Tennessee, but I would never have thought he would leave Stillwater.
Not me, I think Holder pissed him off trying to low ball him and play the whole "family discount" aspect into it.

[badger]

Not me, I think Holder pissed him off trying to low ball him and play the whole "family discount" aspect into it.

Gundy was foolish enough to call it his "new york yankees" job ahead of negotiations.

Now it's time for Joe Torre to leave for the Dodgers, I guess? [hairGel]

Yeah. NYTimes did a story on it here. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/sports/ncaafootball/florida-international-fires-football-coach-mario-cristobal.html?_r=0)

Remember WVU's bball coach Huggie when he left K-State? He was beloved, he was winning, but he knew exactly what the coaching profession entailed when he tried to stay loyal to Cincy and they fired him at the first sign of losing.

Mario tried to be loyal to FIU and they fired him after 3-9 season.

Guess they didn't really mind being known as F_U with FAU in the Bottom 10, because that's where they're headed back to now.

On her kids:

"They're out of my house. Thank you, Lord!"

How do you feel about players and fans?

"I was telling somebody the other day we've looked at writing a book called, You People Are Freaking Nuts: Life from Inside the Fishbowl."

"I still stand in amazement that anybody would dare to want my husband's autograph. I mean seriously, why?"

On Lou Holtz:

"I kept saying he has a lisp or something, there's something going on with his mouth. I can't understand what he's saying, and Gus was like 'shut up.' "

On the 2010 BCS National Championship:

"(mockingly) The offensive showdown. Whoa! 22 points. Wow. 22 points really, that's what happened. Are you serious? That was our conversation."


On Cam Newton:

"He is cute. I love him, but don't tell Gus."

On college kids:

"If you've worked with kids, if you've worked with 18- to 22-year-old individuals, most of the time they's not the most intelligent people that are out there anyway."

Bielema didn't tell Alvarez, because he apparently contacted Arky back in September about the job.

Also, Charlie Strong and Louisville have agreed to a new 8 yr contract. Butch Jones has turned down the Colorado gig.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Wisky must be going crazy!

[aurorasooner]

Bielema didn't tell Alvarez, because he apparently contacted Arky back in September about the job. I read something yesterday in the Milwaukee paper (I think) that Bielema left Wiskey because they wouldn't pay his assistant coaches enough to keep them, and he was tired of losing them. Seems like he was quoted in that article that Wiskey was paying their coordinators about 225K each. The Pigs gave him enough money on top of his coaching salary to pay his assistant coaches more so he could keep them. Obviously, there was some friction there between Bielema and Alvarez over the FB coaching staff salaries, according to the article.
Also, I heard that Butch Jones turned CU down because he was being interviewed for both the Wisconsin and Tennessee jobs

[badger]

Football salaries are out of control, especially considering that football programs in general lose money. The mighty Midwest is losing population and with it, butts for seats to fill (and wallets to pay seat premiums and donor charges), so the B1G has to be at least a bit concerned about its bottom line.

If the Big 12 is looking to expand, they should try to poach the B1G. The future of this country and in football is NOT up in the freezing north where jobs and people are fleeing, along with political clout and tax dollars. It's right here (and in the SEC, of course). I bet Iowa State wouldn't mind having Iowa as an in-conference foe. We could drag Nebraska back to Texas kicking and screaming if necessary

A rant: I still can't believe that Bobby Petrino's name was tossed out there as much as it was among melting down fanbases and school rumors alike during this football coaching vacancy "offseason" of sorts.

Even if you look past the womanizing, the irresponsible motorcycling that led to a near-fatal incident for himself and another, the hiring of a mistress for a well-paid position she was blatantly unqualified for... HE LIED ABOUT IT.

He was apparently too dumb to think that a highway patrol report would have the truth available for public record and that obsessive compulsive Piggie fans who used flight aware for years to stalk Houston Nutt wouldn't be demanding the original document like a copy machine would be part of an anti-Arky media conspiracy or some sh!t.

Saban to the Browns?

http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-georgia-sports/2012/12/11/report-cleveland-browns-lure-saban-back-to-nfl/


Alabama’s Nick Saban could become the next head coach of the Cleveland Browns, the Boston Globe is reporting.

It’s far from a done deal, and a number of pieces would have to fall into place, but the Globe said on Monday that if the Browns hire Michael Lombardi as general manager as rumored, the door could be open to bringing in Saban as head coach. Saban and Lombardi, who is currently an analyst for the NFL Network, worked together for the Cleveland Browns in the early ’90s, where Saban was defensive coordinator and Lombardi was player personnel director.

According to the Globe, “Saban has let it be known that if he returns to the NFL — where he flopped, going 15-17 with the Dolphins from 2005-06 — it would likely be with Lombardi playing Scott Pioli to his Bill Belichick.” Pioli and Belichick are the GM-coach tandem who created a New England Patriots dynasty.

The Browns are suffering through another woeful season at 5-8 and have had only two winning seasons since 1999.

Owner Jimmy Haslam might have more than one reason for luring Saban to the NFL: He’s a prominent University of Tennessee booster, and the Vols are 0-6 against Saban’s Alabama teams.

For his part, Saban has already won two national championships at Alabama (and one at LSU) and will be going for another one on Jan. 7 against Notre Dame. With no mountains left to climb in the college game, could Saban be looking for another shot at the NFL?

yeah but with the way ESPN was going nuts with Mrs. Saban's phone call in about ole Nick not enjoying wins at all anymore, and just being relieved about them, this dog is going to grow some pretty long legs until the Browns hire a new coach.

Watched quiet a few SJDU late games this year, and he had a scrappy bunch. He's an 'in your face', 'I tell it like I see it' kind of coach. He's walking into a situation where the facilities and level of support is better than where he came from, so he'll probably be pretty pumped at first. Once he realizes that all of that stuff is nothing in comparison to the rest of the PAC, he'll realize why he's going to have to work his *** of tom resurrect that program.

[badger]

I never would have thought CU would turn into such a college football wasteland.

their state laws hold them back, but then again, it's not like they can sell out that marshmallow-throwing dump anyways, so maybe the state's doing them a favor by not allowing more non-teaching posts to have multi-year contracts.

[Scott D]

I think it's a great hire for them actually.

The expectations going in couldn't be lower. I talked to a long time fan (not many of those left) and he said most fans were upset that Embree got so little time. I suspect this guy will have more time to get things done due to those 2 factors. If he can just produce a scrappy team that wins their OOC games and gets out of the pac12 cellar, he would be considered a success.

The ones that I know were ecstatic that Embree was gone, when you start losing games the way they did this season, you tend to lose the faithful no matter where you went to school. Last season they lost games by 20-28, this year by 60+ points, that is a program going in the wrong direction.

we will hit them we will wreck, we will ****ing break their neck, then it's goodbye to texas tech!
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8741465/kliff-kingsbury-hired-texas-tech-red-raiders-coach

main list updated

[SoonerNomad]

Kingsbury is a very interesting hire. I don't think it's a good choice but I think that only because of his age and apparent lack of gravitas. He does have the "street cred" of having played at the school and of coaching up the legend in College Station.

On a side note, when I briefly attended Texas Tech in the mid 80's (during my seven years as a college sophomore and just one of my five college locations), the head coach was Jerry Moore. The teams was so bad that they were often called "Jerry's Kids." (Probably dating myself with that reference to the Jerry Lewis telethon). That is the same Jerry Moore that retired this year as the Appalachian State coach.

[goingoneight]

It's Texas Tech. So what if they're adopting the oSu model. In order to have any sustained success at all, you've got to know you can keep a guy there. If it doesn't work out, oh well... it's only Texas Tech. No matter how much the mid-majors have improved their stock, they're still not as attractive as places like OU, Bama, Tejas, ND, etc. as far as knowing you can keep a guy there goes (sleaze balls like Kiffin and morons like Franchione don't count).

Skip Holtz to La Tech

[Collier11]

Kingsbury is the perfect hire for TT and the Right hire. Not because he will for sure be good but TT has a PR problem with their fans. After the Leach screw up, then the Tuberville hire, then Tuberville dropping them like a bad habit, if they didnt hire Kingsbury and they didnt do well it would be a fan mutiny. He has excited the fanbase and will bring in booster money. If he doesnt win the AD can say "you wanted him"

crap am i behind. what on the list needs updating?

[badger]

OK, I ran down the big list to see what I could find on each:

Florida A&M is still searching.
FIU is not going to get Texas' Diaz (http://www.rantsports.com/ncaa-football/2012/12/18/texas-dc-manny-diaz-withdraws-from-florida-international-consideration/)
Georgia State hired Trent Miles back on Dec. 5. (http://www.georgiastatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=12700&ATCLID=205819928)

Trent Miles himself already had a job at Indiana State, so that opened when he left. They already hired Mike Sanford, who was fired by UNLV back in 2009.

Kent State hired Paul Haynes, a longtime tOSU assistant and Kent State alum. It was announced last night.

San Jose hired University of San Diego's Ron Caragher Monday. Fortunately, San Diego doesn't appear to be an FBS program, so I am going to ignore that vacancy.

Temple hired Matt Rhule, a NYG assistant. He was introduced Monday.

Western Michigan beat Tech for having the youngest head coach. PJ Fleck is 32 years old (Kliff is 33).

So, we have three openings left, and strong rumors suggest Utah State's guy is going to Wisconsin. Stay tuned!

[Sooner in Tampa]

The Western Meetchicken hire stings here in Tampa. P.J. Fleck has been one, if not THE, most popular coach on the staff. The guy is non-stop ball of energy. The receivers here in Tampa are one the best performing units on the team...week in and week out...He is going to be missed.

He's also one of the few D-1 football coaches in college to not be married or at least have a family. It's a dangerous road to take, not making friends at a program. Making friends has saved Mack Brown's job in this era of 5-7, mid-tier bowls and no Big 12 titles (let alone national titles). So long as Chip wins he is safe (because I think Mr. Nike is on his side still), but if he's not competing for national/Pac 12 titles for even a season, the boosters will want him out and a coach they can own

That is one reason why I think he might head to the NFL where the focus is pretty much only on football and satisfying one person, the owner and in the NFL family seems to get in the way. Even though Oregon has an owner to satisfy, there are still underlings to placate. He always knows that he can go Saban/Petrino and head back to college if he fails in the NFL.

[OUTrumpet]

No, Chip Kelly will be getting the eff out of Dodge before the probation hits.

Coming from someone that now knows what Oregon does, wouldn't be surprised. What Oregon is doing is definitely against the spirit of the rules, but they're getting away on a technicality. Definitely interested to see what the NCAA does about it. Not hard to figure it out when you start looking for it.

Welcome to Black Monday. Because of the college implications, I have added NFL firings to this thread. You can see the updated list on the first page (complete with the college coaching changes) or here's the ones I just put up:

FIU: Ron Turner (http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8811661/ron-turner-hired-florida-international-golden-panthers-coach). He was the Bucs QB coach.

Nevada: Reports are Brian Polian (http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/bruce-feldman/21503001/brian-polian-expected-to-be-next-nevada-head-coach), who is Aggroid's special teams coach. Not official yet, so not gonna add yet.

NIU: I guess I just missed that they upgraded Ron Carey (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2012/12/2/3719940/northern-illinois-huskies-rod-carey-bcs-2012). There ya go.

Buffalo Bills/Syracuse: Doug Marrone is going to Beefalo Bills (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/06/bills-hire-syracuse-coach-doug-marrone/related/), so that's now open. I'll add it to the list (and put that with Beefalo)

KC Chefs: Andy Reid. (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8812387/andy-reid-reaches-agreement-next-coach-kansas-city-chiefs)

A few new ones to add since my last posting: The Jaguars' new GM fired their one-season coach and the Browns have a new coach. To my knowledge, no new coaching developments in college football or NFL, as far as head coaches go.
