Here we are still in September and we have our first coaching change. I’ll attempt to update as the season progresses and will list regardless if it’s fired, retired, reassigned, stepped down, took another job, etc etc etc

Rutgers - Chris Ash (Sept 29)
Florida St - Willie Taggart (Nov 3)
Arkansas - Chad Morris (Nov 10)
New Mexico - Bob Davie (Nov 25)
UNLV - Tony Sanchez (Nov 25)
Missouri - Barry Odom (Nov 30)
Colorado St - Mike Bobo (Nov 30)
UTSA - Frank Wilson (Dec 1)
USF - Charlie Strong (Dec 1)
Boston College - Steve Addazio (Dec 1)
Ole Miss - Matt Luke (Dec 1)
ODU - Bobby Wilder (Dec 2)
Washington - Chris Peterson (Dec 2)

Wilder and Wilson are most tenuous. The East division is wide open and ODU is playing well right now. UTSA is slipping.

Florida State has parted ways with Willie Taggart

If ODU retains Wilder, the admin should seek counseling.

Arkansas has fired Chad Morris.

Ya. I respect him greatly but the program needs the change.

Well....they had too. He was about to burn the whole place down.

I predict Arkansas will hire Memphis coach Norvell.

Can Clark win without a team full of 25 year olds or the easiest schedule in coach football? Plus his offense sucks and you need a great offense in the sec west to compete

Add New Mexico and UNLV to the list.

I realize you posted this 2 weeks ago, but I don't know what else the dude has to do. He's 33-17 (66%) overall at UAB even though when he got here we had no facilities and played in a total dump of a field.

The previous year before he got here our defense gave up 44 points a game under McGee. The WORST team in Southern Miss history put 62 points on us in Legion Field that year.

He shows up and the next year we go 6-6 against a very difficult schedule.

In nearly unprecedented fashion, the football program is dropped and he has the balls to stay and rebuild the program. Now we have an IPF, a football foundation filled with Birmingham business leaders, and a brand new stadium in 2021. He rebuilt the program.

2017: 8-5
2018: 11-3
2019: Now 8-3 in a huge rebuilding year with one of the least experienced teams in the nation and it is looking like we have a good shot at getting into another CUSA championship game.

Clark's biggest miscue (in my opinion) is that he needs to hire his assistants based on results and less based on friendships. As soon as he is able to put together a complete season where he beats 1 or 2 P5 programs I imagine he is hired away after that year.

With that said, I have no idea why he would go to Arkansas.

edit: and our schedule gets mocked because it is of course weak, but we would also be 8-3 with La. Tech's schedule. Probably 7-4 with USM's schedule. 7-4 to 8-3 with FAU's schedule. No one in this conference near the top exactly has some highly difficult schedule. 1-2 body bag games + 1-2 games versus decent teams. The difference in schedules are literally just playing a bad 3-4 win team instead of a 0-1 team like South Alabama/Akron. It's simply not that much of a difference.

Dodd is a good writer but I completely disagree on this one. Arkansas has stopped payment to Coach Bilema (Misspelled). I expect Petrino (Misspelled) to get this job. Clark has turned down quiet a few jobs. He is someone who really knows what he wants. I'm not saying he will never leave but he is probably waiting on the Auburn job.

Well they have to seek medical help first after the fans stomp their asses if they retain that tree hugger then they can head to all sorts of counselling.

Nothing you said has anything to do with taking a job in the SEC West...

as I said you need a damn good offense to compete and that is something Clark has failed to show at UAB. So it's not just my opinion let me quote more than a few UAB fans. "Bill Clark's offense is like a high school offense"

That will not get you wins in the SEC West. As for the other part...has he shown he can win without 25 year old players or a weak schedule.

Below are the UAB wins for this season and the only one with a winning record came with their starting QB and WR out. So my statement still goes and in my opinion UAB will win the West because USM will get the crap kicked out of them by FAU...UAB will also

With the regular season winding down this week expect to see this thread explode with all the firings and job changes. My guess is around 10-12 will be added in the next 2 weeks whether it be fired or changing schools.

That's great and all about Arkansas, but this is the same argument that has been used against him on this board repeatedly for anything.

It went from people telling us we were going to be lucky to win 2 games -> to we only won our first 2 years back because of 25 year old players and CUAB refs -> to now we are only winning because of our schedule. Cant wait to hear next year's excuse and all about how the 2015 and 2016 WKU teams were the greatest teams to ever grace CUSA football

To each their own

Lots of chatter that Mississippi State’s coach will be fired after tonight’s Egg Bowl game win or lose

Just reported on Game Day that Missouri is now looking for new coach. Will probably be a lot more changes after this last weekend of the regular season.
