Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

I don't know if you can ever sell a sub-500 coach whose never won anything in college football to a group of fans/ex-players/etc. that just ousted your last guy for competing in 3 CCGs in 7 years (granted losing all of them).
That's going to be a hard sell no matter how you slice it... and I have a feeling it would've been an easier sell to tell them "look, this isn't the 1990s anymore..." six weeks from now.


I don't think Nebraska can pull Oregon's OC for a parallel move, but Orgeron could be interesting. Then again, this is all coming from the same people who thought they were going to hire Tressel.

There's some strangely confident chatter that Big Game Bob is heading to Ann Arbor.

That'd be a VERY interesting move.
it would be great... Bob would lose out on his Texas recruiting base and have to go national... plus he's Big Game Bob... then theirs the amount of fun I get to have with OU fans... .Shit Tejas fans might even pay for the move

So they'd rather hire a guy who's greatest post-season achievement to date is winning two Grey Cups (in 1988 and 1990) while having to eat $150K a week for 51 weeks to pay off a guy who was 67-27 in his career at your school.

Riley has four 9-win seasons in 14 years of coaching at Oregon State. Pelini won nine games all 7 years he was at Nebraska. Maybe Pelini needed to go, but Riley isn't the answer.

I'm personally looking forward to Bo being in the booth next year. That's gonna be GOLD!
