college football head coach hiring/firing thread, '08 - Page 13

I just read a sourceless post on a different board that said Tech has caved and is negotiating a new deal with Leach as we speak. Take it for what it's worth...

Yeah, the deal was just announced. Evidently Leach sat down with the school's chancellor and they worked everything out, leaving the agents and the AD out of the meeting. 3 more years, no buyout, and he has to inform the AD if he is going to interview for another job, but the AD cannot stop him from interviewing.

Can't believe that Bellotti's stepping down as the head coach hasn't been discussed here. Kelly was already in place, though, and while this move was ready to be made...did anyone believe it would be made so quickly?

Does this hamper their recruitment of Bryce Brown any? Surely Brown knew the writing was on the wall.

Oh, man, I saw this thread was bumped, and Ardent was the most recent poster, and I thought, OMG UT already broke off Kiffin!!!@1!

Thank goodness I was wrong.

Chip Kelly is the one who has had any contact with.

Kiffin was the offensive coordinator in 05 when USC had one of its best offensive years ever. I still think he may struggle as a head coach, but I'd love to have him back at USC as an offensive coordinator/coach again. On the other hand, Sarkasian has been much worse than expected and should be let go ASAP IMHO.

Amazing what a year can do for you.

Thanks for the bump. The more I review Crompton's stats and how Lane helped develop him, the more my elation grows. This staff has me so excited. I don't know how I'm going to get to sleep.. already up an hour later than I planned.
