Mario turned around FIU and they canned him after one down year.Was Bama's oline coach for 2-3 seasons and a evidently a good recruiter.That is what is needed in Autzen could work out

I don't know what to think of Oregon's hire.

Cristobal's FUI W/L is also "I don't know what to think."

1-11
5-7
3-9
7-6
8-5
3-9

"Unthreatening" might best describe Cristobol for outsiders.

I understand that Herm Edwards just found out that the team he coaches is called the Sun Devils. 

[FearlessF]

and he is a deeply religious man and wants the name changed?

Well it's going to be 40 degrees in Phoenix tonight, so a hot-tempereatured mascot isn't a layup.  

Killer Cacti?  The Apathetic Fanbase?  Dante's Tridents?  

Hell, just use Admiral Akbar, let someone have that fun for real.

It  is interesting to live in this Indy market in a post-Bobby Knight era, as that is a topic that has such deep wounds for a number of people.  Some people never want to talk about it again, others dig in and want to keep fighting it,  others beg and plead to bring Bobby back into the fold in some way.  Obviously Knight has been approached many many times and wants none of it.     Some thought he would've come back for the anniversary of the last perfect record basketball season.  Nope.    He still casts a shadow around here, partly because he does make appearances at events.  I actually went to one of his talks once as a guest of a friend.

I wish they would find a way to bring him back in, but, as I'm sure you know, he's pretty stubborn.

[FearlessF]

I doubt it will ever happen, groveling or kissing his arse won't help

[Brutus Buckeye]

Yeah, sorry fellas. 

Knight is ours as well.

Florida has seven FBS programs, and the coach with the most longevity of the bunch is Mark Richt.

That's crazy.

They're great jobs (at least UF, FSU, and Miami are) from a certain point of view (pay, prestige, recruiting, etc). Unfortunately they're all pressure cookers and if you're not winning yesterday, you're not doing your job and could find yourself looking for a new job in less than 3 years.

Deja vu?

ASU's defensive coordinator Phil Bennett steps down for "personal and health" reasons.  Was offered a job on Herm's staff, but is moving on. He was brought in by Todd Graham in 2014 mostly because he was in agreement with running their blitz-aggressive defense which most ASU fans wanted to see moved on from anyway. If one of the strategies of the Herm hire was to keep assistants, the main target was keeping the OC Billy Napier.
