College FB coaching openings

That made me laugh really hard.

 

Leach and Hill are not going to Washington.

 

You obviously know nothing about the Atlantic Coast Conference.

 

The Mid-American Conference could have as many as eight new coaches next year:

Toledo, Miami and Eastern Michigan have already whacked their incumbents; Hoke at Ball State, Gill at Buffalo, Jones at Central Michigan and Cubit at Western Michigan could all be candidates to move up the food chain. And Golden at Temple is being talked about in the Syracuse mix (although with a record of something like 9-27, hard to understand why).

Although presumably some of these guys may be candidates for the same jobs (Gill and Golden for starters). It's all a big musical-chairs situation dependent on what other jobs are open -- I'd guess for instance if Brian Kelly bolts from Cincinnati, the MAC guys would be prime candidates.

 

I don't think Kelly is going anywhere. Washington already getting turned down by Leach and Hill is not a good sign, of course, it might mean they are getting ready to name Sarkesian (which wouldn't be a bad hire, I think), but it isn't going to light the world on fire of alums.

 

Heard a well-respected Big 12 writer on the radio today say that Leach wasn't a top candidate for the Washington job, but he invited himself up to Seattle for an interview anyway ...

 

Al Groh wasn't as responsible for forcing anyone to get a band. Administration had to give things time considering what the last reincarnation of UVa's band did to get, er, disbanded.

Administration wasn't being a bunch of sticks in the mud. What UVa's band did to embarrass the school justified the actions of the administration.

 

Hence why his agent had a lot to say about his TT contract yesterday/day before. Total money grab on Leach's part.

 

Louisville getting boat-raced by Rutgers, 42-0 just before halftime, which won't help Kragthorpe's job security.

(EDIT: Make it 49-0 just before halftime).

If for whatever reason UL opens up, I imagine the hot prospects from the MAC I listed above would be among the contenders.

 

Golden declined the interview request at Syracuse. I think he's got a chance to get Temple into the upper tier of the MAC in a couple of years, then make a move.

 

According to ESPN, UW is going with Sarkisian.
