Here ya go..

He won 10 games this year. Up from 9 the previous two years. I know they fired Solitch after a 9-3 season, but that AD is gone now.

he's also continuously blown away once a season, this year for the big 10 title against a 7-5 team. He's also managed to fall short in title games for Big 12. Nebraska fans didnt hire him to win 10 a year and go the holiday bowl. They are a very similar fan base to Bama or Notre Dame, its only a matter of time before the gap in expectations and achievement start to seem huge.

Keep in mind Les Miles has a National title, Richt has SEC titles and both are constantly bad mouthed by fans and finding themselves on hot seats. Chizik won a national title 2 years ago, now he's unemployed. Expectations kill coaches no matter how pretty the Win loss record sometime, when there is no hardware to justify the paycheck.

Sorry I didn't even see that 'word' when I read it before posting. Thanks for catching and deleting the post!

Getting back to the topic.....what about Tressel and/or Jim Leavitt?

I think at this point UT prospects know they are not their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th choice....that has to be an issue as well in the process.

Tressel doesnt have a show cause on him does he? Or was he coaching somewhere this year?

He does and there is conflicting information in various news outlets as to how severe it is. Mandel at SI wrote that all he had to do was sit out the 1st 5 games plus the bowl game the first year plus submit a report to NCAA every 6 months. Dunno?

Didn't finish my post - the flight attendant was giving me the evil eye.

This is the link to the SI article.

This is the link to a Florida article on Butch Davis. It mentions that he does not have a show clause and seems to think the Tressel one is a bigger deal than Mandel.

Tennessee hired Butch Jones from Cinci.

This is going to be an interesting hire.

South Florida has hired Willie Taggart from Western Kentucky.

Good move for them. USF has just enough going for it to become a spoiler, and Taggart will certainly help them.

One of the better hires so far.

Petrino to Arkansas State is picking up a lot of steam

LOL, Arky St is DYING to become the 'one and done' capital of the CFB world.

 

[CrimsonEyeshade]

Will an Arkansas school actually hire Petrino? Now that's desperation.

Is Ark ST part of the Univ of Ark system like UAB and UAH are for us? IF yes, I don't see them hiring him.

Word breaking now but reports are saying Tubberville has taken the Cincinnati job.

And, as expected, the general consensus is, "Say what!?"

Interesting..., I can't decide if it is a move up, down, or sideways.

A good point that was brought up: Cincy's path to a major bowl is far easier than Texas Tech's path.

Texas Tech confirms Tubberville to Cincy:

For a year... After the BCS is done, the Big East has no guarantee of anything. Perhaps he got assurance of a move to another conference?
