Sumlin should be in line for some big time gigs.

[OklahomaTuba]

I really hope Penn State makes this list....

[badger]

Don't forget Zona canning Mike

Also, New Mexico canned Locksley

[TopDawg]

Oh yeah. Wow. Completely forgot about Mike. (Stoops, not Locksley).

Headline: Nutt Sacked!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

One of my favorite threads of the year

[Vegas Sooner]

UCLA hopes the Rick keeps sucking it.

Leach needs to stop his lawsuit and got to the pac-12.

[badger]

If you want to go REALLY far back, you could also include UNC's Butch Davis and tOSU's Jim Tressel as they were technically forced out this season, even though the season hadn't technically started.

You're very technical tonight

[ouleaf]

Hasn't Leach been rumored for the Arizona and New Mexico jobs?

[badger]

Hasn't Leach been rumored for the Arizona and New Mexico jobs?

He's been rumored for every job, whether it's open or not. Fans covet him. Hell, I want him back in coaching and he ruined a few of our seasons when he was at Tech!

[AlbqSooner]

One of the leading candidates to replace Locksley as the UNM football coach is rumored to be Kelvin Sampson.(insert winky here)

[OUmillenium]

Leading candidates for all openings...Brent Venables!!!

[oksoonerdave]

And Mike Stoops as his replacement

[Football Jim]

Headline: Nutt Sacked!

LMAO I love this board!

[OUHOMER]

Might have to add Joe Pa, hes taking some moral heat......

[swardboy]

The skeptic in me wonders if the scandal at PU isn't the reason Joe Pa never retired. Cover up conspiracy you know....

[possumfat]

HIRE VENABLES!
