College football coaching vacancies

[BigBlue75]

Let's see, so far Colorado State, Duke, Michigan, Arkansas, and Georgia Tech are all shopping for new HC's. (and I feel like I've left one or two out but I can't think of them.)

Is it just me or is that an unusually high number to have at the end of one season?

Considering THIS season?

Nah.

Nebraska....

Southern Miss and Southern Methodist

[BigBlue75]

Yeah, the 'Huskers, SMU, and Southern Miss. I knew there were a few more.
The list keeps growing...:icon_mrgreen:

Shouldn't Texas A&M be on the list too?

Shouldn't Texas A&M be on the list too?

They were without a coach for about a day and a half. They hired Mike Sherman to be their new coach. That's why I didn't put them on the list originally.

Of course, the domino effect could add several others to the list. Both Les Miles (LSU) and Bob Stoops (Oklahoma) have been rumored to be candidates at Michigan. Turner Gill (Buffalo) has been linked to the Nebraska job. Several of those other openings could also be filled by current coaches at other schools thus opening up more positions.

I plan to keep it updated with new hires and departures. I hope to add the win/loss record of each coach involved, too.

LSU gives Michigan permission to talk to Miles (http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7439014)

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Michigan officials asked for and received permission from LSU to meet with Les Miles about the Wolverines' head football coaching vacancy.

LSU athletic director Skip Bertman granted the request on condition that Michigan representatives wait until after Saturday's Southeastern Conference championship game in Atlanta before starting negotiations, LSU spokesman Herb Vincent said.

Vincent said Bertman and LSU chancellor Sean O'Keefe also plan to meet with Miles next week to discuss his contract.
"We're trying to get the SEC championship game behind us that's why we're scheduling these things for next week," Vincent said.
LSU was not prepared to make a statement about the extent to which the school was prepared to compete with Michigan's offer, should one be made, Vincent said. "We're just looking forward to the game Saturday and that's the focus of the entire program right now, Saturday's game against Tennessee," Vincent said.......

Osborne hits road as interim coach (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3133259)

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Tom Osborne is back as Nebraska's football coach -- but just temporarily.
Osborne, already the interim athletic director, on Wednesday declared himself interim head coach until he hires a successor to Bill Callahan.
The interim coach designation lets Osborne visit prospective recruits away from campus, athletic department communications chief Randy York said Thursday.
The 70-year-old Osborne passed the NCAA certification test on his first try Wednesday, York said. Osborne went on the road to recruit Thursday and Friday, and the school sent a letter notifying the Big 12 of Osborne's new title, York said.
Once a hire is made, Osborne could continue to recruit until the new coach assembles a full staff of nine assistants, York said.
As the Cornhuskers' head coach from 1973 to 1997, Osborne won 255 games and three national championships.
Osborne said in a radio interview with the Husker Sports Network on Wednesday that he hoped to have a new coach selected by next week. He already interviewed Buffalo coach Turner Gill and LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini and spoke informally with Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe, according to media reports.
Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly told local radio station WCKY on Wednesday that he had not been contacted by Nebraska.
Two assistants from Callahan's staff, defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove and cornerbacks coach Phil Elmassian, are no longer recruiting for Nebraska, York said.
