wow one year after his butt buddy timmy he leaves he quits. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is the HC of the Denver Broncos by next season.

And I thought he told that recruit (shariff floyd maybe) last year the reason he decided to come back from retirement after one day was he had a dream where God told him he was supposed to win a national championship as the coach of Floyd. I guess the dream didn't really happen.

Oh well, they crushed OSU so I guess who am I to make jokes right?
 
As everyone here knows, I hate the Florida Gators and hate Urban Meyer even more. I am glad to see him gone from coaching for a little bit.

However, Dan Mullen was the brains behind the operation and will likely be the next head coach at UF. Meyer was burnt out and would never have returned to greatness, with Mullen at the helm the Gators will be national contenders again.
 
the coaching vacancy at Florida should definitely be a black hole in college football, one of the most high-status coaching jobs available... along with Michigan. the Gators job is such a NCAA football black hole, that I am sure it will affect the Miami Hurricanes

however, I think that the Hurricanes and even the Pittsburgh Panthers should be more attractive options to coaches than just Florida. the Panthers in the Big East, is ripe for the taking. I can't believe Pitt has been so bad, due to the school having great recruits in their backyard Western Pennsylvania area. all the dismal Big East is waiting for, is for a coach to take advantage of that conferences' sorrows. same thing for the Canes and the ACC, although not as drastic as a situation

for a good, solid HC, those two conferences are more easy to win at than say the Big Ten or the SEC
 
no way he goes to Denver, aren't they still paying shanahan's buy out? anyway, urban won't go to the pro's.

i truely believe he resigned for his family. this has been in the making since he quit last year, it's no real surprise. he's going to take 2 or 3 years off and come back somewhere else, maybe notre dame? who knows.

Mullen is the obvious choice, no way stoops goes but I'm sure they're talking to him.

here's a curve ball, what about gus malzahn? probably won't happen, but what i could see happening is mullen going to florida and malzahn going to mississippi st for the head coach job. he's ready.

also, don't rule out that piece of shit bobby patrino. i don't think florida would want him but i can guarantee you that motherfucker would take the job.
 
I haven't read anything but the headline, and I'd agree with CS's take. He needed to pull back last year and tried to quit...was talked into taking it easier and sticking around, but we see how that didn't work. I think he got to the end of this year and said "If I have to kill myself to win like that....I'd rather live." Yeah, he'll keep his head down for a few years, get the itch, and who knows...maybe show up somewhere else like ND if their current coach hasn't made the turnaround there. He'll stay Div1 for the level of competitiveness he needs to maintain, but he'll pick a school that isn't at the top, so expectations aren't so unrealistically high all the time (that might prove a problem for ND fans).

As for replacements, there is so much incest in the SEC coaching ranks, and I don't mean hiring your brother in law, I mean coaches fucking their program to jump to another school IN THE SAME CONFERENCE if the opportunity is right. 8) You've got history of this all over the place, and I do see FLA keeping their choices in-conference to a large degree.

They wouldn't want Petrino, and they wouldn't seek out Spurrier (love him, but 'has been'), and they probably would want Mullen - but I think he's building his own history there, and having been over scrutinized by the fan base when he was here...I'm not sure he wants the pressure at FLA). Malzahn probably does make the most in-conference sense, and if he's itching for a HC job, this would be it. I don't know how much loyalty he has to AU though.

If they went outside, they could consider Stoops, but I don't think he'd want it either, given the program he's got at OU and the stress he knows is at FLA. What about the star everyone discussed earlier, Peterson at Boise?
 
Axl, I think the problem with Pitt is a lot of coaches might not want to coach at a school that doesn't even have their own stadium. I know that would affect my decision.
 
yeah, but at least they play in the Pittsburgh Steelers stadium. it's not like they have some rinky-dinky joke stadium

I have a gut feeling that Jim Harbaugh, the hottest open coaching candidate, will be moving on over to Carolina. then, Jimmy Clausen will get the boot, because Carolina is so bad there is no way they are not getting the first round draft pick. with this first round draft pick, they will choose Andrew Luck, one of the most hyped collegiate QBs to come out of the draft in a LONG time

I don't have any facts on this, it is just a gut feeling, if you will. while the Stanford job is nice, I think Jim Harbaugh deserves more. Stanford is having their best season in decades, and their measly stadium of 50, 000 still has about 10, 000 empty seats. the passion for college football just isn't there, at a small school like Stanford

a coach of Harbaugh's supremacy should be a lock in the NFL, just like his older brother. the only program that I see interfering with my ballsy prediction is Michigan, just because Harbaugh is a "Michigan-man"

For those that don't recognize, that's our OC (Steve Addazzio) on the ground being left behind.

out of all the travesties and absurd horrors the BCS has tortured us through the last 20 or so years - the fact that Temple is not in a bowl game really irks you? I mean, this is a problem that the Owls didn't get in, but really only a minor blip in the problematic BCS formula over the years. are you a Temple Owls fan or something?

this year, at least the BCS got it close enough. Auburn VS Oregon is a helluva lot more attractive than another TCU VS BSU

Because out of all the travesties of the past few years, I haven't really given a fuck about half of them because I stopped watching college football closely about 10 years ago because of the lack of a playoff system. I just happened to be at a Round Table last week to eat the buffet, when the TV in the place was tuned to ESPN and informed me of this bullshit. This was merely the final straw.

Pegasus, I don't care if the way they played wasn't anything special. They had an 8-4 record. Show me any other sport where a team has double the number of wins that they do losses but doesn't make the postseason. Temple may not be a big time program or anything, but I respect any team that has double the wins they do losses. Not to mention, I'm an underdog kind of guy, and the BCS ensures only 10 to 15 teams will actually be vying for the title in any given season.

College basketball has it right. College football is a joke.

I am loving it as a Sooner fan. He was a good DC, and I feel Texas' implosion has left us a relatively easy road for future automatic BCS bids and a possible NC. We just need to Big 12 to win most of their bowl games this year. Maybe Texas can get their shit together, but I don't think so by next season.

To everyone who doubted Andrew Luck wouldnt be the #1 overall if he declares....

http://walterfootball.com/draftdata.php

whomever gets the pic will pick him, if they dont need a QB someone will trade up, he is too good a prospect .

although I doubted you initially, I see myself more agreeing with you on this one. Andrew Luck is very good, I would have never questioned that. but what I have been starting to realize is that, on paper, Luck could be one of the hottest pro QB prospects in a LONG time. it took me awhile to shed off some of his mega-hype, see some of his season highlights, and look at his physical and year-long stats

lets hope that his on-paper prowess translates in the ridiculously difficult NFL. better QBs than him have failed, and less talented QBs than him have (more than likely) accomplished more
 
Luck grades out as the best QB since Manning, and the best overall prospect since Tony Boselli.

Carolina tanking again today, Clausen is trash IMHO, So they should get first shot at him ahead of Cincy( damn Carson got picked again just now).

Golden rule of the NFL is never pass up on a franchise QB, Carolina cant afford to do that, there is a world of difference between a QB who can get you to the playoffs , and one that can take you deep into the playoffs.
The most impressive thing about Luck is his understanding of the game, in his worst statistical game this year he threw 2 picks, one on a deflection and the other on a WR who ran the wrong route.


ALlmost every playoff game comes down to one factor, turnovers, and Luck moves the chains and doesnt turn the ball over. and he does it with a supporting cast whom would never even get a sniff at being NFL players.
 
Miami just hired Temple coach Al Golden. This is a fucking good hire for once, considering Peterson and Harbaugh weren't going anywhere this year.

I feel better about Golden than I do about Muschamp, Florida is in for the world of shit Miami went through after hiring a coordinator with no head coaching experience.

Remember that when Shannon took over as head coach of Miami, he was the best defensive coordinator in all of college football.

will muschamp is florida's next coach... thoughts?

No, they doubled his salary to $900,000 already to ensure he stays at Texas and takes over after Mack Brown. I just don't see him leaving a place that he considers, in his own words, "THE premier job in the nation".
 
^Ha, I thought you were asking a theoretical question. Dude! :p

I guess that goes to prove you can't buy commitment in college football. Though I don't blame him, I'd not want to stay in Texas after the Big 12 collapse! Back to the SEC!

Not having a TV around is fucking with me...
 
the Big 12 is going to be pretty bad without Nebraska. hopefully Texas can pull themselves together to give the conference some credibility next year

with all the talk of high profile coaches moving to both the U and Florida, I will be honest in saying that I am sorta disappoint in these picks
 
i suspect muschamp will be the end of the OMG NICK SABAN PEDIGREE frenzy, but i still think he's well-suited to florida and the conference. As a dawgs fan, i"m more interested in seeing where gus malzahn goes (if anywhere). If I was him, I'd rather be an OC at auburn than a head coach at Vandy.


Head coach at UGA, though... ;) I hope to god our athletic director and president are actively scouting talent right now, because nobody in athens should be willing to stand idly by while an OKish USC and a listless florida battle it out next year for the SEC east. If Dooley does something with tennessee in 2011, even threatens to get to the conference championship, Richt had better not get to attached to his office.

As for the U-- I don't see what the fuss is about, and I've read the Owl's stats under Golden. I don't understand why we can't have somebody willing to recruit thugs and train them to hit hard down there. Instead, miami gets squeaky clean guys now. :\ I wish him the best of luck though-- anything to undermine the gator's recruiting efforts in-state.

I guess that goes to prove you can't buy commitment in college football.

I'm personally surprised he didn't leave sooner. I get the feeling working under mac brown sucks dicks, and the growing resentment of waiting year-in and year-out for him to retire and hand over the reigns must have been exhausting.
