Specific UAB reference towards the end...
Quote:you can find an established former head coach over 55 and out of college coaching -- Houston Nutt (56), Ron Zook (59), Butch Davis (62), Phil Fulmer (63).

These coaches have a combined 61.3 winning percentage (371-234) when coaching at the BCS-conference level.

Ron Zook is bringing that average down. He has a losing record overall as a coach. Butch Davis is tainted by scandal. Does Fulmer even want to get back into coaching? These guys should be enjoying retirement or working in a AD office somewhere. Their coaching days are over. The only reasonable option from that list is Nutt.
