College FB coaching openings

None, but EMU is a place that has fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
It is the place that gave Louisville Ron Cooper, and that turned out lousy...
The last EMU head coach to get a job somewhere else as a head coach was Bob LaPointe and that was at Belleville High School...

 

Lloyd Carr was on the search committee.

 

Apparently Michael Haywood is getting the Miami job - and now we're back to six black coaches in the FBS, with three in the MAC. Army and New Mexico State are still open, and unless Saban, Pete Carroll or Meyer get itchy, I don't see another job opening up. Those are about the only college coaches I could see an NFL team hiring.

 

Rich Ellerson at Cal Poly-SLO is the supposed Army front-runner. I have no fucking clue what New Mexico State is going to do.

And, yeah, I can't see another FBS head coach jumping for either of those jobs so that means that with all the movement this year there were only two FBS head coaches who switched jobs? Chizik and Hoke? Or am I forgetting someone?

EDIT: Miami U website makes it official. Haywood is their new coach. Which means there are again six African-American head coaches in the FBS.

 

Here's a question, say Saban, Carroll or Meyer do jump to the NFL. Who would get those jobs. Tuberville at Bama? Spurrier to Florida? I can't see any coach wanting to follow Carroll at USC. Maybe Ken Norton Jr.?

 

Tuberville won't coach next season. Now if Saban jumps after 09? Who knows.

Spurrier ain't going back to Gainesville either.

 

It would be a cold day in hell before Tubs coached in T-Town. And that's even if he were the hard-working Tuberville from four or five years ago, instead of the the current one who did a half-assed job the last few years and couldn't recruit top talent unless it happened to share the same duck blind with him.

 

My point wasn't who should get one of the jobs, more to the point of who could be named to replace them without a huge drop-off. I wouldn't want to be the next guy at any of the schools I mentioned, the winning is tough enough, but all three have achieved "God-like status" at their schools.

 

Kirby Smart is slowly being groomed at Bama, but if Saban went on a Ricky Williams trip tonight he (Smart) would be nowhere near ready. Long-term it is probably him or Dabo Swinney (assuming he does well at Clemson).

 

You thinkin too far ahead, there college boy... Bammer can money whip any coach they want... they don't have to groom nothin.

 

Congratulations go out to Mike Haywood.
That brings the number of African American coaches to 6.

Sorry, still in disbelief.
