I know that this is for head coaches, but Georgia had some firings today as well.

OUT- Willie Martinez, Jon Fabris, and John Jancek.

IN? Hopefully this will lead to Kirby Smart's return to Athens.

There will be some in Auburn too if Smart leaves Bama. Or maybe not if Tuberville comes. He and Richt are pretty close.

It's being reported that Mark Mangino resigned, not that he was fired. It could've bee one of those "resign or we fire you publicly" deals. But I really don't see why they would feel it necessary to do so.sith_acolyte15

Rich Brooks has retired from Ketucky which means Joker Phillips should be taking over.

Jim Leavitt was also fired from South Florida.

Great jab by Mark Sanchex about Pete Carroll going to the NFL.

So, what do the Florida fans thinks of George Edwards as their new DC? That hiring went by quietly.

Georgia's on the verge of hiring Alabama DC Kirby Smart for around $750,000 a year. I hope this one actually goes through. edit: it didn't. Also interesting to see GT close to hiring Al Groh for their DC position.

I can't believe they did that. Talk about a coach that is completely incompatible with the type of offense Tech currently runs.sith_acolyte15

There is no reason why Ruffin Mcneil should not have got the the job at Texas Tech. I feel like that the Higher ups at Texas Tech did not want to give him a fair shot at getting the job, because of his friendship and connection with Mike Leach. There is no reason why Ruffin Mcneil would not have got hired, if he was not connected to Mike Leach

I hate to even use the word class to refering to somebody in any context, but Ruffin Mcneil knows this is why he did not get the job; He just has too much class to say it

Does anybody else think that they did not give him a fair chance to get the job, because of his connections with Mike Leach?

Per ESPN, Kiffin to USC.

Lol Tennessee and lol USC. :lol:

EDIT: Oh, and Dan Enos (RB coach at Michigan State) has taken the job at CMU. Not sure if I like that hire.

Kiffin to Tennessee is just freakin classic. Vols fans think this means the return of Fulmer. I want to see UT lose some out-of-state recruits now. They're ****ed. GamerForca

Go look at the Tennessee forums on Scout. They want him dead. And actually, the few UT people I know really liked the guy.

And Lame apparently just made his final statements from UT. He said a few sentences, never sat down, and just left. I bet he's already boarding a plane to get the **** out of there.

David Cutcliffe has withdrawn his name from the UT opening. That leaves Derek Dooley. Oh.. ma... gawd. :|

On a slightly happier note for me, Georgia hires Dallas DL coach Todd Grantham as DC. Good hire, even though that will switch the defense to a 3-4. GT gets Al Groh.

edit: It's official. Derek Dooley is Tennessee's new coach. No... :cry:

Well, barring anything major, it looks like the coaching carousel has come to a halt. For now, at least.
