Rather than individual threads, I thought we could have a thread dedicated to coaching changes now that the regular season has ended.

Danny Hope is reportedly out at Purdue. Gene Chiznik was released from Auburn earlier, but apparently will still be employed by the school in another department.

So, here is the running list.


DeWayne Walker - New Mexico St.
Chip Kelly - Oregon, replaced by Mark Helfrich
Chris Ault - Nevada, replaced by Brian Polian
Doug Marrone - Syracuse, replaced by Scott Shafer
Mario Cristobal - Fla. International, replaced by Ron Turner

Gary Andersen - Utah State, replaced by Matt Wells
Mike MacIntyre - San Jose State, replaced by Ron Caragher
Gene Chizik - Auburn, replaced by Gus Malzahn
Danny Hope - Purdue, replaced by Darrell Hazell
Joker Phillips - Kentucky, replaced by Mark Stoops
John L. Smith - Arkansas, replaced by Bret Bielema
Derek Dooley - Tennessee, replaced by Butch Jones
Jeff Tedford - California, replaced by Sonny Dykes
Tom O'Brien - N.C. State, replaced by Dave Doeren
Frank Spaziani - Boston College, replaced by Steve Addazio
Jon Embree - Colorado, replaced by Mike MacIntyre
Bill Cubit - Western Michigan, replaced by PJ Fleck
Mike Price - UTEP, replaced by Sean Kugler
Robb Akey - Idaho, replaced by Paul Petrino
Ellis Johnson - Southern Miss, replaces by Todd Monken
Northern Illinois - Dave Doeren, replaced by Rod Carey
Skip Holtz - South Florida, replaced by Willie Taggart
Bret Bielema - Wisconsin, replaced by Gary Andersen
Gus Malzahn - Arkansas State, replaced by Bryan Harsin
Darrell Hazell - Kent State, replaced by Paul Haynes
Steve Addazio - Temple, replaced by Matt Ruhle
Sonny Dykes - La. Tech, replaced by Skip Holtz
Butch Jones - Cincinnati, replaced by Tommy Tuberville
Tommy Tuberville - Texas Tech, replaced by Kliff Kingsbury
Willie Taggart - W. Kentucky, replaced by Bobby Petrino

Whoa, why? Isn't there some kind of family health issues or am I thinking of someone else?

I wonder where Hazell is going to end up.

Pinkel resigning is very surprising

Although they did get embarrassed all season long.

Right now it's just rumor. A lot of people wondering why he would as well.

Purdue fires Danny Hope.

http://www.rantsports.com/ncaa-football/2012/11/25/purdue-fires-danny-hope/

Article states that, are you sitting down, Jim Tressel has been spotted on campus the past few weeks and is rumored to be interviewing.

I'd be shocked if he went to another B1G school.

I really hope Tressel doesn't end up with a B1G school. That's feel weird. Maybe he's a consultant helping with the coaching search.

Purdue is a team that has a chance to be bowl eligible every year. Not sure why Purdue would want to hire him with 4 years of his 5 year show-cause left.

Tressel got slapped with a 5-year Show Cause penalty after the tattoo incident, a school would be crazy to hire him during this 5-year window. If I understand the sanction correct, the hiring school would have to prove to the NCAA why they too shouldn't be sanctioned for hiring him, and even if they get past that hurdle, any small infraction under his watch would be magnified for the hiring school.

Apparently Bo Jackson is leading the committee to find a coach at Auburn. LOL

Tom O'Brien back to BC? LOL. Remember the drama when he bolted in the middle of his deal for NC State?

Word is Pinkel was not on board with joining the SEC, he sees the writing on the wall that they will not be able to compete, will be interesting to see were he ends up if he does resign.

Great read on Purdue....

http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=ncfnation&id=72341

Even mention Tressel, and the fact that Purdue is reportedly raising $4.5 million to find the next coach and staff. I don't think Tress will get hired or approached, still interesting.

Tress would be a great hire for a down and out team that needs to put people in the stands.

Tress won't take another job in the B1G IMO. He's too loyal to Ohio State

He'll take whoever the best team is that offers. Don't kid yourself.


Also Jon Embree is out at Colorado

N
ot sure if we're doing BCS schools here or all of D1, but Western Michigan whacked Bill Cubit last week (they played their last game on 11/17, losing to EMU, and fired him a couple hours later). Also Mike Price is resigning/reitring at UTEP.

Idaho shitcanned Robb Akey midseason, so technically it's open I think. Interim Jason Gesser was not formally awarded the permanent job. yet. He may end up getting it, but they may interview others.

Saw that Embree and the Colorado players were very surprised that he was fired. That in itself surprised me.

The program is in much worse shape than it was with Dan Hawkins. They were one of the worst teams in college football this season.

I'd say they are the only ones surprised then.
