While I feel Bowden deserved to get the axe, there are still several other coaches out there that should soon find their way out the door. In fact, I'm gonna do a blog about that right now.
I know Pat Forde has already done something like this, but my shit is way cooler than his. Also, I know what I'm talking about. Most of the time.
Here are a few ass bags that I feel should be thrown from the coaching carousel in the near future.
1. Greg Robinson - SyracuseRecord at 'Cuse - 8-33
4th year
I will officially boycott life if Greg Robinson is the head coach at Syracuse next season. Frankly, I'm surprised he has made it this far. If there were to be any more mid-season firings, Robinson is the most likely candidate. Syracuse not only sucks on the field, but they are getting out recruited out of their own backyard by Penn St., Rutgers, Pittsburgh and even Bucknell. This travesty has gone too far. It's time for the Syracuse administration to fix their errors.
Possible replacement - Steve Addazio, Florida Tight Ends Coach
2. Brent Guy - Utah St.Record with the Aggies - 7-34
4th year
I know that no one really cares about Utah St. Even in their own state they are hardly mentioned. A little bit of winning could change that. Unfortunately for Utah St., there will be no winning as long as Brent Guy is the head coach. I'm not exactly blaming Guy entirely. Really, it will take an amazing, ungodly coach to turn things around here. The Aggies might just hold on to Guy because they'll have some trouble finding someone willing to replace him.
Possible replacement - Bobby Hauck - Montana Head Coach
3. Tyrone Willingham - WashingtonRecord at U-Dub - 11-30
4th year
Unfortunately for coach Ty, it's pretty much inevitable that he's gone after this year. I wonder if things would have been different for him if that sorry ass excuse for a ref would not have made that ridiculous unsportsmanlike call on Jake Locker against BYU. Who knows. Knowing the Huskies' luck, BYU probably would have just won in overtime anyway.
Possible replacement - Gary Pinkel - Missouri Head Coach
4. Phillip Fulmer - TennesseeRecord with the Vols - 149-49
17th year
17th year
Don't let that record fool you. Fulmer is leading the Vols straight down the tubes. The call for Fulmer's job has never been louder in Knoxville. The man is strictly getting by on his past right now. The Vols actually find themselves in a similar situation to Clemson, they will be firing a coach that just received a contract extension before the season started. The growing off the field trouble doesn't help Phil either.
Possible replacement - David Cutcliffe - Duke Head Coach
5. Chuck Long - San Diego St.Record at SDSU - 8-22
3rd year
The loss to Cal Poly put the final nail in Chuck Long's coaching career coffin. San Diego St. was once a very respectable non-BCS team. Now they are a laughing stock almost on par with Idaho. (Which is pretty bad.) I really don't see why a coach can't be successful at a school like San Diego St. There's great weather, women and a decent football tradition.
Possible replacement - David Bailiff - Rice Head Coach
6. Joe Glenn - WyomingRecord at Wyoming - 28-38
6th year
I have no idea what's going on at Wyoming. All I know is that the Cowboys are severely falling behind the vastly improved Mountain West pack. Glenn is a coaching legend who just seems to have finally worn on his players, who are no longer responding to him. To make matters worse, it's been reported that Glenn is refusing to send his assistant coaches out on recruiting visits during bye weeks. Ouch.
Possible Replacement - Tyrone Willingham - Possible Former Washington Head Coach
7. Kirk Ferentz - IowaRecord at Iowa - 65-50
10th year
The most overpaid coach in America might finally be shown the door after this season. I would almost expect Ferentz to be ousted if the Hawkeyes were to miss a bowl game once again. Man I'm actually glad Florida chose the Zooker over Ferentz. I cant believe this guy was even in the running for some NFL head coaching vacancies. As long as Ferentz is at Iowa, the Hawkeyes will never compete for another Big Eleven title.
Possible Replacement - Brian Kelly - Cincinnati Head Coach.
8. Dave Wannstedt - PittsburghRecord at Pitt - 20-20
4th year
We all know Wannstedt is one hell of a recruiter. Unfortunately for Pitt, he may be the worst game day coach in all of division 1 football. The upset win over South Florida quited some of Wannstedt's critics for the moment. I'm sure a loss to Navy this week will get them all riled up once again.
Possible replacement - Skip Holtz - East Carolina Head Coach
9. Bob Toledo - TulaneRecord in Nawlins - 6-12
2nd year
I usually like to give a coach 3 years before I consider him to be on the hot seat. I'm gonna have to waive that provision for Mr. Toledo. I thought this was a bad hire for the Pelicans and I complained about it from the very beginning. I think Tulane needs to go back to the days of a wide open offense and absolutely no defense. It seemed to work better than what they have now. I know Hurricane Katrina set this program back a bit, but with the right coach, they can get right back on track.
Possible replacement - Gary Crowton - LSU Quarterbacks Coach
10. Shane Montgomery - Miami(OH)Record at the OTHER Miami - 16-26
4th year
4th year
Back in the day, the RedHawks used to be the team to beat in the MAC. You couldn't envision a MAC championship game or a Motor City Bowl without Miami(OH) there. Now, MAC opponents circle their date with Miami as a guaranteed victory. Some schools are even scheduling Miami for their homecoming game. I like Montgomery. He seems like a nice guy. But perhaps it's time for the program to look for a new direction. Miami used to be the 5th best team in the Big Eleven. Now they're probably only the 8th best team in that conference.
Possible replacement - Chuck Martin - Grand Valley St. Head Coach

- Ralph Friedgen - Maryland
- Al Groh - Virginia
- Gene Chizik - Iowa St.
- Steve Kragthorpe - Louisville
- Tommy West - Memphis

- Pat Hill - Fresno St.
