southern miss fired their coach? wow. what happened there?
my opinion of price would go down if he takes the wazzu job. doba was a longtime assistant and to dance on his grave like that is low. the move wouldn't make sense for wsu either as price hasn't been doing all that great at utep and is pretty old by coaching standards.
i have no idea why michigan would go after ferentz. he has one of the biggest salaries in college football so it'd be a very expensive move. he hasn't produced much the last few years in a fairly weak bcs conference. if they're willing to spend huge money then they might as well put in a call to bill cowher. les miles has underachieved a bit at lsu and i'm not sure he's the type of person that michigan wants. he is the easy choice though.
from the very little i know about peterson, i don't think he's going anywhere. isn't he in boise because of good available care for a chronically sick child?
houston nutt was a good hire for ole miss. they shouldn't have fired cuttlif in the first place though.
gill is a stretch for nebraska, but osbourne has the standing to hire the easter bunny and have everyone be ok with it. the key is not only hiring the right candidate, but also making sure that that candidate has enough institutional support. osbourne is only an interim ad iirc and new ads like to hire their own coaches. it may take the new coach there a few years to get things in place to run whatever system and that's hard without institutional backing.

Actually, according to an article I saw in the Seattle PI, Doba will be consulting with WSU during the search for a replacement. If they hire Price they will likely have Doba's support (and Price will likely have Doba's blessing as well).
I agree, thought, that the Cougs need to go with someone other than Price. They need to bring in someone with a completely different philosophy than Price and Doba; a younger coach who has a firm grasp of the Pac-10 game and has new, creative ideas. Given that WSU has asked former Oregon AD (and WSU alum) Bill Moos to head the coaching search, I would not be surprised to see someone form Bellotti's current or past staff to be on the list (Aliott, maybe?).
This space needs to be filled with a new sig...but I'm too lazy to make one.

I don't see Price taking over WSU again as a diss on Doba. I honestly didn't think Doba should be fired, but the fact is he just can't recruit talent to go to WSU (I'd like to see any of us try, though). Doba may either retire or take a job at a D-II school because he's getting up there in age. You never know though. Jerry Glanville, after all, is now the head football coach at Portland State.
Chris Petersen is going nowhere and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. He has a chance to build Boise State into something better than Hawkins' creation.
Jim Grobe would be a very good coach pretty much anywhere but I can't see him leaving Wake Forest unless he finds an offer he can't refuse.

my best friends dad was on the last baylor team to go to a bowl game, i believe it was the honolulu bowl
and stfu aj, he probably knows the task at hand will be hard as hell but maybe he can start a legacy or if he experiences immediate success he can use baylor to land an even bigger job, smart move, u almost always take a job like this no matter how crappy b/c its in a bcs conference.

Kiffin may suprise some people, but he's always wanted to be a college HC and has roots in Fayetteville. This comes from Mortensen, who's pretty knowledgeable about the Hogs.
I've heard from some Raiders people that Kiffin is dismayed by the demands of the NFL job and the attitude of the players, so it does make sense he'd want to leave to take over a college program. Think about it--if you're a good NFL coach, you will be lucky to last 10 years in one spot. If you can get to a bowl game 9 years out of 10, you can keep your job until you die in your office, or lose to Ohio State every year

Couple things I've heard lately:
- Brian Kelly unlikely to be the next UM coach, mainly because Michigan wanted him to keep the current coaching staff in place
- LSU granted official permission to talk to Les Miles. Undoubtedly they were talking before, but now that it's out in the open I'd say he has a good chance of being the next coach.
- Pelini had a bad interview with Nebraska, they are apparently down to Gill and Jim Grobe.
- Don't expect Brian Kelly to stay anywhere for too long; he tells every AD he talks to that he's looking to move up the coaching ranks as fast as possible until he gets to the NFL. A lot of coaches do this, but I doubt any are as honest about it as Kelly is.
- I know I'm basically the only ND fan, but Weis has contacted Mike Markuson in regards to coaching the OL, which has me giddy.

Rampant speculation on my part:
Brian Kelly would take over Iowa if Kirk Ferentz goes to Michigan.
He's definitely looking to move up quickly. A couple of things about Kelly the average fan should know:
1. He's a master recruiter. At GVSU he regularly stole kids from the MAC schools and a few from schools like Indiana and (irony) Cincinnati. He's kind of like Bob Huggins in that he scours the junior colleges very well, but he also created a pretty good pipeline of taking in transfers from Notre Dame and the Big Ten schools, particularly RBs and OL. There's no doubt in my mind his last two Lakers teams would have won the MAC, even though it's a D-II school that's hard to get to with (at the time) unimpressive facilities.
2. He's not one of those "burn both ends of the candle" guys. He has his system and doesn't make major adjustments from game to game; it's based on his players executing better and trusting in the system, kind of like how Rich Rodriguez or Urban Meyer run things. He'll put a few tweaks into each gameplan, but he's not agonizing until 4 AM over scouting the opponent. He trusts his assistants and his players, and they haven't let him down yet. I've seen it breed confidence amongst his players and a greater sense of responsibility and trust on the team, perfect for college football.
