Have to say I felt bad, but only for a moment, watching the Pumpkin cry at the press conference.

Has there been any talk out there of Tommy Bowden going to the Washington Huskies? I say he is the darkhorse surprise. I've seen mention of Pat Hill's name with this job. I think he could do well there, I think a lot of him as a coach. I wonder if he is about ready to move on from Fresno???

My crystal ball says Tennessee gets Lane Kiffin or Chris Petersen and Clemson gets Will Muschamp (or keeps Dabo if Clemson finishes out strong... beating USCe).

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Lane Kiffin is my bet at UT. Bowden at Washington is interesting. Recruiting would be something Washington hasn't seen in a while. Bowden can recruit, but can he recruit there?

Pat Hill, with the exception of his NFL days, has bounced around the Mountain West/PAC 10 all of his collegiate career. I'd like to see him get a shot at Washington.

On that note, I've thought for a few years that someone was going to pluck Tedford from Cal and Hill end up getting that job.

Jim Mora Jr would have to get serious consideration for that job. Him saying he would leave the Atlanta Falcons for the Washington job was one of the things that got him fired.

I think he is coach-in-waiting for the Seahawks (in writing), otherwise, I'd agree.

You just know that with 2 of the 6 black head coaches being fired someone has to hire a black candidate.

That said, who are the maid guys?

Charlie Strong at Florida seems to be getting some love.

 

[imported_Porter]

Brian Kelly, while not black, would be a good hire for anyone (Tennessee, Clemson, Washington, etc.) that could get him. Supposedly, Tennessee is seriously considering him.

 

[Argo]

I keep expecting Tyrone Nix to get a shot from somebody, but I haven't even seen his name mentioned yet.

 

[imported_RollTideRandy]

I think Chris Petersen is the best option out there for these teams. If he ends up at Tennessee, I won't be happy. The only question mark with him would be recruiting. He could end up being another Fran if he can't bring in top notch Athletes.

 

[Guest]

I expect Charlie Strong to get some looks and at least some interviews.

I hope the VILES get LAne Kiffin...in a package they also get Al Davis!

Jim Mora Jr. was quoted on local radio saying he is not a candidate for the Huskies job. Lane Kiffin has been mentioned but all talk right now is "we need to go out and make a Nick Saban type hire".

As weird as it sounds, I'm getting that Tommy Bowden and Dabo (if he doesn't get the Clemson job himself)are going to Florida State and Jimbo Fisher will be cut loose. Now, I have heard two different variations of this which makes me somewhat suspicious, but both seem to have Jimbo out and Tommy in. I have a call in to a buddy that can confirm this, but he will not be able to investigate it until next week when he returns home. Once he lets me know, I will pass it along provided he doesn't mind.Take it for what it is worth, but there may be something to it.

The Great Pumpkin to Clemson?

[ORANGEADDICT]

lane kiffen was a rumor...thats all

 

[rammerjammer]

FWIW on the radio today they said that Lane Kiffen has interviewed twice already with the brass at Clemsom.

Here is a link on ESPN....they state the Brent Venables at DC@OU has interviewed as well.

Guys my barner buddy emailed me and said that ctt should be fired soon. He also said muschump is wanting the barn job and look for ctt to clemson.I don't like this one bit. Not that I fear muschump but I want ears to take his lumps for at least 10 years or more.
