Chan Gailey of Georgia Tech was reportedly fired. I'm kinda surprised by this because He was 44-32 with 6 bowl games in a row. They are expecting to do better?

How could tOSU fire John Cooper after going 111-43-4?

Is this the hiring thread too? Texas A&M hired former Packer coach Mike Sherman.

Bill Doba is apparently out at Washington State. A great guy, just couldn't get it done on the field after his first year (10 wins, including a Holiday Bowl win over Texas). Went 20-26 in the four years following that.

A lot of people are talking about bringing Mike Price back.

Cooper was fired because he said the OSU v Michigan game was "just another game"....not embracing that rivalry will get you fired

I would like to see Kiffman from the Raiders come back to college football, I think he's better suited for the college game and could impliment the system he learned at USC somewhere like Arkansas, Michigan, or even Ga Tech

That's true, his bowl/Michigan record was awful, but his overall record wasn't great either. Nothing wrong with that breakdown of wins/losses, but it wasn't evenly distributed. From 88-94 (7 seasons), he had 1 good year (93, 10-1-1 or something), all the rest were of the 4 loss variety, nothing to write home about and he lost to Michigan (except 94). He had a great run 95-98, 7 losses total, in the top 5 going into the Michigan game every year (only 1 once). Then his last two years were also quite mediocre (and the team he left behind did poorly in 01 too). So my argument is that he was a decent coach but probably not quite worthy of a Top Ten program who had 1 good dynasty-thing but was otherwise fairly mediocre (like a step below Lloyd mediocre). Not gonna get it done, and when you throw in Michigan, no way he could stick around.

Gailey's two stated goals upon being hired were beat UGA and win a conference championship. 0-12.

I've heard Cutcliffe a little, and that's a nice choice.
I'm pretty sold on Chris Hatcher or Charlie Strong right now, but always open to change.

Some of the awesomely ridiculous rumors so far: Dan Reeves, June Jones, Steve Spurrier.

There is 0% chance June Jones leaves Hawaii. I love rumors, they're so often a reflection of the source's stooopidity.
