2013 College Football Coaching Carousel

Jurich is merely doing this so he can laugh while watching football and basketball games when the announcers constantly trip over saying Petrino instead of Pitino and vise-verse.

Beyond the adultery... why re-hire the guy who ditched you for the NFL in the first place? And it seems that his appetite for women rivals only his appetite for coaching jobs.

Someone was going to hire Petrino eventually. Loyalty be damned, he's a proven successful college football coach. That being said, I am just as surprised that it's Louisville. Perhaps he didn't burn bridges there the same way he did in Atlanta and Fayetteville, but damned if they aren't playing with poison. Too bad. I think there were several better candidates available to them.

Maybe Bobby will take some of the headlines from the unc mess. GoDuke!

It sounds like James Franklin is leaving Vanderbilt for Penn State.

Indeed he is. I fret what this means for my 'dores. Did Franklin do enough to make the job interesting to a strong mid-major up and comer? FWIW, he had the 5th highest salary among SEC coaches, so it isn't like he was poorly compensated. There are some interesting clauses in his contract regarding upgrades that he requested, we'll see how those work out.
