. . . will pick up the phone if it rings.

I gotta figure Pelini is on the hot seat. With Dr. Tom gone, I always figured it was a matter of time before a performance blip happened and without Osborne around, Bo has one less very important friend.

I think Wilson survives. Indiana has been up and down and he has to find a way to figure out the defensive side of the ball for them. They've got a tremendous set of offensive players who are going to be around for a few more years and he should get his five years. But again, he absolutely has to create a defensive mindset for that team.

Not sure on Beckman.

I think Weis is safe for now.

What about Gary Patterson?

Beckmann should be gone. I think the other two deserve another year. Kansas was worse under Gill than Minnesota was under Brewster.

Indiana needs to recruit some JUCO defensive players. They may want to think of a DC switch. Clearly something isn't working over there.


Glen mason would be a good hire for Illinois I actually think. He's old. Spend 6-10 years before retiring stabilizing Illinois.

Haven't seen any predictions from you lately on when Kill would be fired. Any update?

Patterson's conference record since moving to the Big 12 was 4-5 last year and 2-6 so far this year. Not the right direction, but it would have to be hard to fire him now after the long run of success he had prior to the move to the Big 12.

What about Jeff Tedford, another guy who did great things for his school but has fallen on hard times? His conference records the past four years have been 3-6, 4-5, 2-7 and 0-8 so far this year.

Out of curiosity I tried to revisit the Fire Jerry Kill website. It now redirects to Zombo.com. Can't say the guy doesn't have a sense of humor about it.


In any case, I think Pelini gets fired. And it wouldn't surprise me to see Will Muschamp go, too, though it's possible he might get one more year.

He must not have re-upped his website domain for another year. He had written more about the Vikings than anything else over the past year. Not much written about Kill.
 


It seems that a lot of delusional Husker fans have turned against Pelini, so I wouldn't be surprised if he got fired. But he shouldn't be fired. He's won 9 or 10 games every year at Nebraska and is on pace to win 9 or possibly 10 again this year. This would be on par with firing Solich after winning 10 games every year, and that was a huge mistake. If Nebraska does fire Pelini, they deserve to suffer for the next 4 years under another Bill Callahan type hire.

And wouldn't that be sweet.

Oh, been meaning to point out that there's a mistake in your avatar. That's not a gopher that's Bill Murray. :eek:

What exactly has Pelini put in the trophy case, for the millions he's been paid? What part of his erratic record is supposed to give anyone a really warm glow?

Really? His record in Lincoln is 56-23 (33-13) and has won his division in 3 out of the 4 years he's been there. I fully expect him to get fired, but you can't argue that it's because of the on-the-field performance. If Nebraska fans think they're going to find a coach that can better a 72% conference win percentage, they're going to be looking for a long time.

Now, if he gets fired for being a complete ass clown, that's another story...

That was Khaliq's site. Haven't seen him around in a long time either.

It absolutely is because of on-the-field performance. He should be able to do better against these powderpuff schedules. The team has lacked toughness and discipline in recent years. They're only managing one or two good wins a year, offset by one or two REALLY embarrassing losses a year. Zero conference championships. His teams have a losing record against ranked opponents. Nebraska is unranked, as well. That might be success in Minneapolis, but not in Lincoln. You guys are fixated on meaningless W/L records instead of looking at the lack of meaningful accomplishments. There is nothing in the trophy case, and the team regularly gets embarrassed on national TV.

(BTW, it's his 6th year)

Nah, just would be happy with this:

If Nebraska does fire Pelini, they deserve to suffer for the next 4 years under another Bill Callahan type hire.

Sounds like that would really bother you.
 



I think Pellini, Wilson and Weiss survive.

Beckman is 50/50. Mike London at UVa might be gone, though he has a good recruiting class that might save him. Mack Brown will 'retire.' I'm sure there will be others (UConn, USF?)

Didn't UCONN already fire their coach a few weeks ago? Does it count as a firing if they decide not to re-up the interim head coach? If it does might as well throw FAU in there as well. Other potentials that would be big splash firings (though some of them are unlikely):

Florida-Muschamp
MSU-Mullen
Virginia Tech-Beamer
 

UConn fired its head coach a few weeks ago.

Kevin Wilson deserves another season. Even though Indiana has been up and down this season, the ups have shown enough light that there's reason to think he has them going in the right direction.

Will Muschamp got the dreaded vote of confidence from the Florida president and AD. However, he's only 22-13 (13-10) at a school whose fans expect to annually contend for the National Title. The Gators are also one certain loss to Florida State away from not going to a bowl for reasons other than probation for the first time since the late 1970s. The fans are mad and if the team loses by too great a margin to the Noles, especially at home, that may be it for Muschamp regardless of the support he's presently receiving.
 

There is no way Virgina Tech fires Beamer

I just don't see a guy like Beamer being fired, asked to retire next year maybe but not after this year.
MSU: Mullen he is probably on the hot seat as his team has taken a step backwards.
Florida- Muschamp this I could see happening lot's of Po'ed people in Gator country.

My no brainers are:
West Virgina: Halgorsen is overmatched and ****** to boot. He thought his stuff didn't stink at Okie State
Illinois: Beckman another overmatched coach and a fraud

Contenders: Pelini Nebraska losing to the Gophers is like the end of the world for them even with the Injury's.
Purdue: Hazel might not get more than one year after a winless Big 10 season, it is not just how they lose but the way there losing.
Indiana: I could Wilson getting the boot just because that job is like Minnesota they fire a lot of coaches.
Arizona: Rich Rodiguez they have found out as Michigan that he is a bad football coach.
Possible: Bielema at Arkansas, they have cash to burn and could decide to can him after one year and move on.
Seat Starting to heat up: Al Golden U of Miami

That's fair about Beamer. I guess I just place the forced retirement in with the firings. I just can't believe how much VT has stalled in recent years.

Can't believe I forgot about WVU, what a dumpster fire.

I think Hazel is fine for now. They realize they can't keep just canning their coaches.

I was thinking about including AZ as well but don't follow the program well enough to have an educated opinion.

Arkansas's buyout on Bielema's contract is HUGE for the next few years. He's not going anywhere.

Thought about including Golden at Miami but I feel like they'll give him more opportunity now that the cloud of potential sanctions has lifted.
 


Wilson should not get fired, first of all they still play Purdue so that should get them to 5 wins this year which is one more then last year which would be considered progress, and i see a bright future with that team and the players that they have coming back, Nate Sudfeld, Tre Roberson and Tevin coleman all great players are all sophmores who will be around for a while, Cody Latimer and Shane Wynn will both be coming back for next year as well, they have also been recruiting pretty good, they landed six 4 star recruits and many of them play defense which should only help so overall i only see them getting better and better
 

I just don't see Beckman getting canned this year. If they would, they would be paying Beckman, Zook, Weber, Groce and the new football coach in salaries. That is a tough sell. I just don't see that happening. You would be paying 5 Head Coaches salaries, 3 of which in the form of buyouts between 2 sports, and 2 of those 5 would actually still be employed by the university. But, then again, who knows.
