When was the last time a coach recovered like we have seen with Michigan football. He was given the dreaded “this is a contract so we can fire you” deal. Tried to bolt multiple times and yet now is flying as high as can be

The difference between the Big Ten East vs West is hilarious. The B1G East is gonna have 3 teams in the top 10 after this weekend. The West is gonna be represented by a program that will have played one team in the final top 25, and lost to them. Lol

Yup. Unless you’re Pat Fitzgerald or David Shaw and you’re never gonna leave and they’re never gonna fire you, you had better jump when the opportunity presents itself. If CTA had gone to FSU and failed, he might have had a shot at another decent gig. He gets fired here, good luck. Maybe he’ll be able to replace Kane Wommack when he moves up.

One guy that did strike while the iron was hot? Willie Taggart. That man got PAID by some big time football schools and sucked extravagantly going forward. 

Just got fired by FAU today, but his kids and his kids’ kids and maybe beyond won’t ever have to worry about money.

Yeah honestly not sure if I knew he was there til I saw that they fired him lol. 

[Alford Bailey 12,386]

USC is gonna give the B1G another perennial playoff contender I think

Just took a peek at an OSU board to see how they're handling this. Already multiple "Fire Day" threads. 

45-5 overall and 31-2 in conference and they want to fire their coach. If this is the case then sports fans are way out of control.

The 2 conference losses are to Michigan and that’s all that matters

2 other losses are in the CFP against Clemson and Alabama. If they want to fire him go for it and let IU have him.

Watching Penix throwing ropes again tonight.

Hard to believe he was our QB and that he and CB play the same position.

As he should. That program has become a joke. 

[Demo 20,031]

Not sure if this is the job for Fickell, but this is the time. He’s taken Cincinnati as far as it’s gonna go, Big 12 move or not.

There must be some serious burnout or something non-football related at play here. Zero chance that guy got pushed out.

Whatever ends up happening at Auburn, someone - whether it be G5, FCS, etc. - needs to get Cadillac Williams on the phone yesterday for a head gig. He had more than just the interim coach bump going the last couple months. The guy is electric and half the battle in CFB is finding a coach that can connect with kids. I’d love to see him get a shot somewhere.
