Just thinking about how many big name coaches and schools have been in the news this offseason (and late in the regular season):

Charlie Weis- in the headlines every day for the last 3 or 4 weeks of the regular season; finally canned after a 6-6 season
Then there were the names put forward/rumored to replace him at ND:
Jim Harbaugh- nope, staying at Stanford
Bob Stoops- almost, staying at OU
Brian Kelly- hired by ND, after leaving Cincy before big BCS bowl game. And of course leading up to the Sugar Bowl, that was pretty much the major headline, how UC players & fans were upset that Kelly moved on

Urban Meyer- major news story that Urb was resigning to address health issues and spend more time with his family
A few days later, changes his mind and taking an indefinite leave of absence.

Mike Leach- Texas Tech's most successful coaching regime derailed by accusations of locking Adam James into closet/storage shed/electrical room/dark room/really small-but-not-that-small of a room; fired by Tech administration looking for a reason to get rid of him
Tommy Tuberville(?)- successful former Auburn coach hired (?) by T.Tech

Pete Carroll- leaving USC to get away from NCAA investigations, ERRRR, take a high-paying, perfect-situation NFL job with Seattle
Seahawks

Lane Kiffin- unproven Tenn coach bolts after one year to take USC job, causing riots in Knoxville

Maybe I forgot some, but does this seem like the wildest offseason ever?

I agree, its been nuts. Forgot Jim Leavitt at USF being fired for stiking a player... Or not striking a player, or striking a player, who knows.

In comes Skip Holtz.

And don't forget Central Michigan. They are beginning to hate Cincinnati since UC has taken their coach twice in three years.

And lets not forget Kansas firing their coach also

. . . Bobby Bowden retires.

^^^^^^
Sad day!lol

You know it's been a wild ride when Bobby Bowden retiring is minor news.

^^^^^^
This is very sad

Bowden should have walked away at least 3 years ago.

Maybe but with all the crap going on one of the greats was overshowed.

Wow- totally forgot about Bobby Bowden.

Maybe some history buffs can remember another recent offseason with multiple coaching moves at big-time programs. None come close to this, IMO.
