If by "anywhere" you mean "a bowl game" you got that right.

Add Chan Gailey (Ga Tech) to the list. Although signed to a ridiculous contract by outgoing Crohn's disease-afflicted moran Dave Braine, he may be shown the door early. Consistent mediocrity (always finishing the year 7-5) and a boring, staid, and ineffective offense are hallmarks of this beleaguered heartattack victim and his program.

Also,
I do agree with the Willingham comments. I don't really think he's really on the hot seat. UW is playing against a fairly competitive schedule and is also a pretty young team. I think they give TW a few more years to improve before he gets on the hot seat.

Also, yeah, NE is going through a large whirlpool of change at the moment. I think that Bill is going to get the axe. Not that NE is my favorite team, but I still don't mind seeing them do well.

Great thread.

Willingham should not be fired, nor should Croom (Beating Bama at home would not be a major surprise, by the way. That game will be a tossup.) The Callahan situation is pretty amazing. How do you [censored] up that bad at a traditional power? I'm also amazed at how bad Pitt is this year. I thought they were recruiting at a pretty high level.

Wanny has done quite well on the recruiting trail, as he's plucked away lots of top talent from W. PA that would otherwise end up in JoePa's hands. His game day abilities and skill with developing players is what's being questioned now.

FWIW, PSU didn't target a large portion of Wanny's recruits.

Also, they can attribute part of their lofty recruiting rankings to the fact that a major scout.com guru is a lifelong Pitt fan. Although he claims no bias, there seems to be some inflated rankings for Pitt recruits (and Western PA kids in general). The rankings generated a good amount of hype and expectations around the program that Wanny hasn't been able to live up to.

I think Pitt has a new AD on the way and I expect Wanny to be out the door at the end of the year.

In regards to Carr, yeah I'm pretty sure he'll be "retiring" after this year no matter what happens. Michigan can win out and win a BCS game and nobody would want him back. I personally want him and both major coordinators gone since they are all birds of the same feather. Either way, we graduate a ton of talent and will be rebuilding next year, although to us that still means a winning season and a bowl game, not starting out 1-7 or whatever.

Regarding Weis, I just keep laughing. Blaming the current junior class on Willingham is absurd when he made the decision to stay with the Pats instead of recruiting. MT2R talks about this all the time. I just don't see how ND fans are not more skeptical of him when Zook came in under similar conditions (inheriting subpar classes, recruiting good classes, same area of the country) and is exceeding expectations greatly at Illinois. If the freshmen and sophomores are really that good (lol Sam Young), then they should be playing much better.
