Is Time Running Out For Steve Spurrier?

Categories:

SEC Coaches, SEC Football

A loss to Vanderbilt (a program that hasn’t been to a bowl in 26 years) and the involvement of five players in an on-campus fight – the hits just keep on coming for Steve Spurrier. Since becoming the Gamecocks’ head coach in 2005, the Ole Ball Coach has been a mediocre 22-17, including a dismal …

What’s Wrong with Greg Schiano?

Categories:

Big East Football

by

The ESPN crew calling tonight’s UNC/Rutgers game made an observation that I’ve noticed for the past two seasons – Greg Schiano no longer appears to be enjoying himself as the head coach of Rutgers. Once the picture of a resurgent program, Schiano was arguably one of the most energetic, demonstrative coaches in all of college …

With the start of the 2008-2009 college football season looming head, I thought it time to post my obligatory list of those coaches who might find themselves without a job or under intense scrutiny this time next year. I broke it down by conference and I should preface this by saying this is a list …

ESPN’s Big Ten blog posted its hot seat list today and topping the list was Iowa head coach — and former much sought-after golden boy — Kirk Ferentz. The blogger writes of Ferentz: “(Ferentz’s) contract extension takes him through the 2012 season and includes a heavy buyout, but Ferentz needs strong results this season to …

Should the NCAA be in charge of non-conference schedules?

Categories:

college football

by

After reading a post on the Orlando Sentinel’s college football blog a while back about a study done on strength of non-conference schedules, it got me thinking about just how much discussion, debate and controversy is generated by non-conference schedules and the strength (or lack thereof) of many of college football’s best teams and how …
