Akron Zips fire coach Tom Arth during his third season after posting 3-24 record

Akron fired coach Tom Arth on Thursday, a day after the Zips fell to 2-7 on the season.

Arth went just 3-24 in two-plus seasons at the school. Associate head coach and inside linebackers coach Oscar Rodriguez will serve as interim coach for the final three games.

Akron is just a loser job for head coaches. Even big name coaches like Gerry Faust and Terry Bowden had losing records there. Ohio has a lot of high school Div 1 football prospects; however, Akron seems to be last in the in state pecking order, i.e. Ohio State, Juggalos, Ohio*, Miami*, Bowling Green*, Toledo*, Kent State*, and lastly Akron.

* order may change year by year.

Alabama defensive analyst, Gary Patterson.

TCU and head football coach Gary Patterson have reached an agreement on a contract extension to keep him with the Horned Frogs program through 2024.

He's probably going to get his $6M a year from TCU through the 2024 season so he can be very choosy. It will be interesting to see if LSU or USC has any interest in him. Even if he has an offset provision in his TCU contact, a school can hire him for a minimum amount the next 3 years and let TCU pay the bulk of his salary.....:biggrin2:

FBS schools spent over $533.6 million in dead money over 10+ years

November can be a cold and expensive month in college football. A number of coaches nationwide remain on the hot seat two-thirds of the way through the season, which has already seen eight Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches out of a job and owed dead money -- money owed to fulfill their contracts.

From Jan. 1, 2010 to Jan. 31, 2021, public universities in FBS conferences paid out more than $533.6 million in dead money to head coaches and assistant coaches in football and men's and women's basketball, according to an analysis of financial records obtained by ESPN through state open records laws.

The total does not include tens of millions of dollars in severance payments to coaches who have been fired or resigned since then, including head football coaches at Georgia Southern, LSU, TCU, Texas Tech, Akron, UConn and USC. LSU football coach Ed Orgeron, who guided the Tigers to a College Football Playoff national championship in 2019 and was then dismissed last month, is owed about $16.9 million, which will be doled out in 18 installment payments through December 2025, according to the university.

Auburn ($31.2 million) and Nebraska ($25.8 million) led the way in dead money payments, followed by Texas ($21.5 million), Ole Miss ($20.4 million) and Kansas ($20 million).

I'd love to know how much of that was paid out by deadbeat Athletic departments surviving off student fees and subsidies from the university.

UCLA fires head coach Jim Mora
Under the terms of his contract, Mora is owed approximately $12.36 million. UCLA said it will exclusively use department-generated funds to cover the cost. Before bonuses, he was scheduled to make roughly $3.7 million annually through the 2021 season. He was California's highest-paid state employee.

Apparently his income from UCLA ends after this season. Time to look for another job.....:lol:

Mora and UConn have agreed to a five-year contract in which he will make $1.5 million in the first season and could earn another $200,000 in annual performance incentives. He will begin his head-coaching duties Nov. 28 after serving as an assistant coach for the rest of the 2021 season, which will allow him to recruit.

Regardless, probably a good hire for UConn.

Washington fires their HC…that guy…what’s his name? Something Lake…after 13 games. Jimmy. It’s Jimmy Lake…names right there in the url.

https://www.espn.com/college-footba...fires-football-coach-jimmy-lake-second-season

I saw people hyping UW up going into this season and thought it was odd because I literally couldn’t name a player on their roster and had no idea who their HC was other than he had been on Peterson’s staff. Well, he lasted 13 games before getting tossed because the team sucked, the recruiting sucked and apparently he liked to get “handsy” with players. Shock, horror.
