Yup. Fired 2 seasons after being ACC coach of the year. 9 seasons, 5 bowl games, winning overall record, 2x ACC COY. Wasn't great but sure beats a guy who is 23-37 (11-28 ACC).

sticking with the ACC theme, I offer Frank Beamer's position at VT for discussion.
my favorite part are Bobby Bowden's quotes:
DiNardo also had some good comments
well, maybe FB himself had my favorite:
The loyalty/PR issue is tough: you have a coach who is no longer able to field competitive teams, who is getting out-recruited by an in-state rival, but who is much loved by the fans and media. Is the 'goodness' that comes from a demonstration of loyalty for past performance sufficiently justifiable to allow the program to further sink into irrelevance? I mean, sh*t, a few more seasons like this and we'll be playing football on Fridays. oh, wait...

Where Nebraska is and where they think they are could be two very different things.
Bo also hasn't helped himself by a number of obvious PR gaffs that have kept him from being one of "Big Red community." If you will remember he almost challenged them to fire him a couple years ago. His brother was caught messing with the wife of a big booster. He has also made some other public and not intended for public comments that weren't taken favorably by the polyester red crowd. If they have a bad showing against Iowa the local real estate agents can go pick up their yard signs at the Pelini residence on Sunday morning.
The Husker administrators are sitting there in the middle of corn worshiping central. Everything they hear on the media, from the fans, the boosters is all about how kNU is a football superpower and should be contending for NC games every year.
They wouldn't be the first team to fire a coach only to find that the interest level in their job isn't what they expected it to to be. Even then no matter who they hired they would somehow convince themselves that he was the guy all along and they are on their way back to their rightful place at the top of the standings.
Talking about Sparkles both OSU and kNU are schools that have a history of hiring guys who weren't already successful at top level school, they are also schools that wouldn't blink at the cost of the buyout.

Speaking of Nebraska, I thought this was interesting.
At any rate, I hope that they fire Bo. I think they'd have about a 50/50 shot of hiring another Callahan.

If Beamer is going to be gone in the next year or 2 he will have to step down himself. I've heard that he wants to stick around for the Bristol game which isn't until 2016, but at least his upcoming recruiting class is stacking up well which should help buy him some time. I've also heard there are some questions about his health, is there anything to that?
Crazy how fast his stock has dropped. Always thought he was a great coach but shows you how much I know.

There was a few years ago but Ferentz had like a $20 million buyout. His contract was rock solid due to NFL speculation. Either it still is or Iowa has accepted their fate as a Ferentz one.
Wow. That is a good hire, IMO.
$$$$$
If we're going down this path...
After the 2015 season, if the Buffs are in the market, there is good reason to believe that Les Miles will be willing to listen to tickets out of Baton Rouge.
One to keep an eye on is Kevin Sumlin. Recruiting is great, but results are mediocre. I hadn't thought about him being in jeopardy, but then read a comment that opened my eyes: "If you can't win a conference title when Johnny Manziel is your QB, it's never going to happen for you."
That defense he had that year is probably a hair better than ours today.

The Chad Morris deal will be make or break for his career in college. Obviously Clemson didn't get as hot as they were hoping to which I think made a non-power a more realistic option for his first head coaching job. It's going to be tough to make SMU relevant again, so it will matter who this former high school coach can lure to the program as assistants who can recruit and gameplan.

Pelini going to keep his job after all? Meanwhile Ferentz should be fired for pissing this game away.

Loser of this game needs to get fired, period. Just because it's a very competitive game does not mean it is a good one.
With a few notable exceptions the B1G just doesn't have the skill postion players anymore. They have linemen and do well in the trenches but looking at these receivers, backs, DBs, returners I wonder how many of them would even play for the better teams in the PAC or SEC or the B12. They look a step slow, don't have the superior athleticism that you see in other conferences.
As stated there are some notable exceptions but overall would either of these teams be in a game at this point against a comparable record team from those other conferences?

Fired his DC today.

Does Aggy write Muschamp a check big enough to overcome his past aversion to visiting the Brazos Valley?
Fusker win was their worst nightmare. If they win the also-ran bowl, no way they fire Bobo for winning 10 games. It's more fun watching them stew than the optimism of getting a new coach.
Just saw that Bobby Hauck will step down at UNLV
