Washington State fires Paul Wulff
Washington State fired head coach Paul Wulff after going 9-40 in four seasons. He posted the best record of his tenure this season at 4-8. Wulff obviously wasn't getting the job done and needed to be replaced.

Ohio State hires Urban Meyer
Ohio State announced Urban Meyer as its new head coach today. Obviously, this is a great hire. Meyer has won two national championships plus another undefeated season at Utah. He is 4-0 in BCS bowl games and 7-1 overall in bowl games. He has never won fewer than eight games in a season as head coach. Interim coach Luke Fickell is rumored to be retained by Urban Meyer, although I wouldn't be surprised if he interviewed for another head coaching vacancy.

Arizona State fires Dennis Erickson
Arizona State fired head coach Dennis Erickson after five seasons. He earned a 31-30 record with bowl appearances in his first year and an upcoming bowl bid this season. Arizona State started off strong this year with a 5-1 record including a 21-point beatdown of USC that looked more and more impressive as the season continued. Unfortunately, the Sun Devils only won one more game the rest of the way and choked away their chance to win the Pac-12 South.

UCLA fires Rick Neuheisel
UCLA fired head coach Rick Neuheisel after four seasons. He earned a 21-28 record with one bowl appearance, a win. UCLA actually won the Pac-12 South despite a 6-6 overall record and will play in the inaugural championship game. Neuheisel will coach the conference championship game but not the bowl game. The Bruins did appear to be mired in mediocrity, and losing to your crosstown rival USC 50-0 is inexcusable. I think the timing of this announcement is strange. I realize that it's a long shot, but what if UCLA upsets Oregon and plays in the Rose Bowl. UCLA should have waited a week before deciding Neuheisel's fate.

Kansas fires Turner Gill
Kansas fired head coach Turner Gill after two seasons. He recorded a 5-17 record with only one conference win. Kansas lost the last ten games of the season. Kansas has been terrible under Gill's leadership, and it was obvious that he was not the right guy for the job. Turner Gill had some success building a program at Buffalo, so maybe returning to the MAC and coaching at Akron would be a good move for him.

UAB fires Neil Callaway
UAB fired head coach Neil Callaway after five losing seasons. He compiled a 18-42 record failing to ever reach six wins in a season. With no postseason appearances and dwindling attendance, this move was inevitable.

Illinois fires Ron Zook
Illinois fired head coach Ron Zook after seven seasons. He compiled a 34-50 record with two bowl appearances. The Illini will also earn a bowl bid this season. This season started with much promise after a 6-0 start. Illinois went on to lose the final six games of the regular season, culminating with a blowout loss to Minnesota who had previously win only twice. Ron Zook did bring the Illini to a Rose Bowl, but was too inconsistent and just didn't win enough games. Upgrading Paul Petrino from offensive coordinator might be an option, or the Illini might go with a clean slate.

Link
Akron fired Rob Ianello
Akron fired head coach Rob Ianello after just two seasons. He compiled just a 2-22 record with just one FBS win. Rob Ianello was an assistant coach at every stop of his coaching career. Just like Larry Porter at Memphis, he was obviously not prepared to be a head coach. I strongly believe Akron should pursue Luke Fickell for its opening, who has only ever coached at Akron and Ohio State.
Link
Link
Memphis fires Larry Porter
Memphis has fired head coach Larry Porter after just two seasons. He compiled just a 3-21 record with only one conference win. Larry Porter was a running backs coach at every stop of his coaching career. I normally don't condone firing a coach after two years, but he was obviously not prepared to be a head coach.

Arizona hires Rich Rodriguez
Arizona hired Rich Rodriguez to a five-year contract. I think this is a great hire. Rodriguez never really fit it in Michigan, but he was very successful at West Virginia. If he can learn from the mistakes made at Michigan, he should have the Wildcats as annual contenders in the Pac-12 South.

New Mexico hires Bob Davie
New Mexico hired Bob Davie to be the new head coach. Bob Davie has spent the past decade away from coaching and has been an announcer instead. Davie has only been a head coach at one program, Notre Dame. He compiled a 35-25 record there including an 0-3 record in bowl games. I would say this hire is questionable at best. New Mexico has been one of the worst FBS programs over the past three seasons, and I don't expect that to change next year.

Joe Paterno out at Penn State
Joe Paterno was fired this week in the midst of the terrible Sandusky scandal. Joe Paterno will go down as one of the greatest coaches in college football history, but his legacy will also be forever tainted by this scandal. There have been five in-season firings so far this year.

Houston Nutt out at Mississippi
Houston Nutt will resign at the end of the season from Mississippi. He has a record of 24-23 in four seasons with three games left in the year. Mississippi is 2-7 and ineligible for the postseason. Houston Nutt led Mississippi to consecutive Cotton Bowl wins in his first two seasons, but has only won a single conference game in his past two seasons. I'm not surprised that Mississippi chose to make this move.
