Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Coaching hires and fires: Mike Sherman is expected in at Texas A&M, and Chan Gailey may be out at Georgia Tech. GT has called a press conference for this afternoon. Duke's Ted Roof is also likely gone, opening up one of the least desirable coaching slots in America. Also, a little odd: there is increasing buzz that Kirk Ferentz has been offered the Michigan job, via mgoblog and a handful of other sources. Lloyd Carr has also apparently been in touch with Grand Valley State to check up on the background of Brian Kelly, their former head coach and current Cincy head coach.

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Some coaching changes at the FCS level... Alcorn State: Johnny Thomas is out. He's been largely mediocre (46-53 entering 2007). Went 2-8 this season. Florida A&M: Rubin Carter is out. He did well but his defense was considerably worse than his offensive production. Went 3-8 this season. Western Carolina: Kent Briggs is out. He was mediocre to poor, going 2-9 in 2006. Went 1-10 this season. Southern Utah: Wes Meier is out. See Rubin Carter but he sucked record wise. Went 0-11 this season. A brief recap of coaching hires for the 2007 season... From least productive to most productive. Kerwin Bell (Jacksonville): 3-8 Jerry Glanville (Portland State): 3-8 Pat Sullivan (Samford): 4-7 Reggie Barlow (Alabama State): 5-6 *Unsure if he stayed the head coach the full season as he was mentioned as interim* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 In smaller coaching news, long-tenured Sonny Lubick and Jeff Bower are out at Colorado State and Southern Miss, respectively. Also, Arkansas' athletic department is having a press conference on the future of the program tonight, suggesting that Houston Nutt might be gone too.

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 I was perusing some college stats at PFR and noticed the following (after Tebow's 20/20 season). Anybody else have any QBs who were close? QB Josh Harris (Bowling Green): Threw for 19 TD and ran for 20 TD in 2002. He also had 2 receiving TD(!) QB Ell Roberson (Kansas State): Threw for 24 TD and ran for 15 TD in 2003. QB Josh Cribbs (Kent State): Threw for 14 TD and ran for 14 TD in 2003. He also had 1 receiving TD. QB Troy Smith (Ohio State): Threw for 16 TD and ran for 11 TD in 2005. QB Eric Crouch (Nebraska): Threw for 11 TD and ran for 20 TD in 2000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd really hate to see Kelly leave after one great season but Michigan is a such a huge job that I wouldn't hold it against him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
