2022-20223 College Football Head Coach Fired/Hired Thread

[Some guy]

Odd picture to have him in notre dame since he doesn’t coach for notre dame nor is he leaving to coach for notre dame

 

[I'm A Maroon 2!]

Not really for McMurphy, he's a Christian going to a Christian school. It'd be like a Morman going to BYU or a Catholic heading to Notre Dame, or a corrupt SOB that cheats going to North Carolina.

I'm sure religion was the biggest factor here.

If you give a mormon a raise of over 3 million to coach a catholic team, he would likely turn it down to stay with those of his religion.

The corrupt SOB part may be on to something though.

Yikes would that be an uninspiring hire.

Also Sacramento State Coach Troy Taylor (all college experience). Garrett never coached at College Level. Interesting finalists if no one else is on the list.

Even at navy you can’t be 11-23 in your last 34
4-8 this year is probably the second best season the past 5

Wow

Don't think he'll be unemployed long, unless he wants to be.

He looked tired, like David Shaw. He'll take a year or two off and then join the staff at BYU.

I like Ken. Seems like a good coach and a good dude. The academies are a tough place to win and he's done pretty well.

IIRC, he was interviewed for BYU head coach at one point, but they refused to let him run the triple option there, and he felt that if they were putting those restrictions on him even before being hired, what other restrictions would they put on him, so he walked away.

Nowhere in the world can you be 11-23 in your last 44. It’s all about that pesky arithmetic.

Wow

What’s with the interim coach? Isn’t their season over?

 

[MaxyJR1]

Was Purdue completely unprepared for this day? Nothing really in the news of speculation that I have seen.

Open Jobs

Purdue
Navy
North Texas
Kent State

Wow

When the AD invades the locker room and fires the coach as he sits in front of his locker, immediately after losing a game, that indicates more than performance issues. It speaks of open hostility.

That happened? What a shitty way to treat a guy who by all accounts was a class act.

Kent State unfortunately chimes in:

Great for Coach Burns. Sad for us, but when you have talented assistants, this is inevitable. Now go get another “good un” Fleck/Coyle.

Odom putting together quit the staff at UNLV. Hiring Petrino at OC

Don’t know anything about Zach Arnett, but I’ll be rooting for him to succeed.

If you can’t bring in any transfers… who wants that job?

If you clicked on the link, you'd know a lot more about him.

That’s probably going to be a good hire for UNLV.
