Why don't Cincy and Notre Dame just trade coaches?
Because Cincy won't want Weis. :lol:

Charlie's ego wont allow him to become an assistant in the NFL.
Probably a year off, then back to the NFL. Unless he wants to settle for Northwestern.
He may never feel the need to work a sideline again, he is about to be a very wealthy man. I wouldn't be shocked to see him go into broadcasting, like every other former ND coach in recent history except Willingham.
Its Official!
Mike Sanford has been fired
UNLV has no interest in upgrading anything related to their football program, they have fallen far behind almost every school in their conference and that decline has been very visible. Whoever takes that job will have to use any sort of progress made there as a stepping stone to a better job.
Sanford, 54, will be paid a $225,000 buyout, under terms of a three-year contract extension the coach signed last year.
Sanford had been watched closely by Smatresk and Koloskie since Oct. 3, when UNLV lost 63-28 to rival Nevada, allowing 773 total yards.
After that game, Smatresk said he would evaluate Sanford on a game-by-game basis and expressed concern for players and fans.
I would be interested to see if Stoops has any interest in that job. He is perfectly safe at OU - but I have to wonder if he is feeling a little heat. He hasn't beaten Texas in, what, four years? He is getting quite a lot of smack locally for their record this season - even though they have a ton of injuries - and I think it's possible they still lose another game. This is his 11th season at OU. His star has faded a great deal over the past few years.
Why the hell would Stoops leave Norman? OU is a premier program. ND is a rebuilding project.
He makes a freaking ton of money at Oklahoma. I am sure they would up his compensation if necessary to keep him there.
I don't see why a successful coach would leave that program.
ND is a rebuilding project.
Stoops seems like the kind of guy who thrives on challenges. He may be bored in Norman and wants a rebuilding effort.
Perhaps there is a player he get to come to ND that he can't get to come to Norman. I don't know.
Notre Dame really isn't a rebuilding effort.Stoops seems like the kind of guy who thrives on challenges. He may be bored in Norman and wants a rebuilding effort.
Notre Dame really isn't a rebuilding effort.
They consistently have Top 15 classes, all they need is a system that works on offense, a new defensive scheme, and better player development.
Stoops really has built Oklahoma back up but if he goes to Notre Dame and builds them back up he will become a legend in college football, staying at Oklahoma just makes him a legend in Oklahoma.
He ought to be plenty challenged in Norman. His team is 6-4, with the very real possibility of finishing 6-6.Stoops seems like the kind of guy who thrives on challenges. He may be bored in Norman and wants a rebuilding effort.
Thep.So you're saying Holtz is a legend somewhere besides his own mind? Aaaarrrrggggghhhh!!!! :wow:
If RichRod goesRichRod is on the hot seat, and it is now looking a little hotter, apparently the CARA logs from 2008 are missing. Maybe somebody else knows more, but my understanding is the CARA log shows how the University complied with NCAA practice limitations. If that results in an infraction, UM can give Rich Rod the hook for cause...and not pay him a penny more. OUCH. Detroit Free Press is reporting this. No word on whether anybody is left in Detroit to read that paper...
If RichRod goes
Goodbye Les Miles at LSU, Michigan will scoop him up this time.
SJSU- a new name being tossed around...Mark Helfrich. Old Helmet Cam himself is being suggested as a replacement for Tomey.
RichRod as good as gone per Michael Wilbon, if that means anything to you.
This year's carousel could be very entertaining. The Irish could be flopping around looking for a HC, Michigan, KU, CU, UVa, Louisville and others could be out there. If Stoops goes to ND and Leach tries to get another gig like he does every year, the Big 12 could have some fresh new faces next fall.
Here's something scary to ponder...Brian Kelly at OU.
Oh, come on. You get a chance to go to a place like OU you take it.
Agreed. Cincy could very well be undefeated this season and not make the national championship. That should be motivation right there to get up and leave the Big East.

Thats because Cincy isn't a power "yet".Agreed. Cincy could very well be undefeated this season and not make the national championship. That should be motivation right there to get up and leave the Big East.

If he can turn Cincy into a consistent power in the Big East it will give them a better opportunity and starting point to reach a BCS NC.
I know, I was just giving my 2 cents about the idea.:smile:FWIW. Kelly to OU is a pure guess on my part. It seems like a good fit to me. BK runs a version of the spread and so does OU. The palyers are there and BK has stepped in and made good use of other coaches' talent. Just a thought.
