Who'll Be The First College FB Coach To Get fired?

[griswold]

My nominees:

Chuck Amato NC State

John L. Smith Michigan State

Sylvester Croom Mississippi State

Joe Tiller Purdue

Brent Guy Utah State

Pat Fitzgerald Northwestern

Jack Bicknell Louisiana Tech

And, in the injustice of all time:

Larry Coker Miami-FL

[frazer43]

coker

[10DimeBry]

John Loser Smith

[Kaptain]

Definitely not Croom from Miss St----he has a 9 year contract, and they knew he would have problems rebuilding this team after all the NCAA sanctions due to the Jackie Sherril era.......

Croom was guaranteed something like 4-5 years before they would think of pulling the plug...He is well liked by the players, alumni, and the Staff of Miss St.........

PS---I look for em to be tough this week against W Va.

I think
Coker
Tiller
Smith
Amato

in that order

[packer34]

Amato!

[Dead Presidents]

Smith

[Three Jack]

Chuck Amato

Smith

I think Coker will go before anyone... too good of a program to deal with him any longer

[TwoTonTony]

Smith...but usually in NCAA they wait until the season is over

[CMER79]

Smith...but usually in NCAA they wait until the season is over

Huskers fired Solich after regular season but with Bowl to go... Miami might just follow suit if Coker doesn't pull his head out. But of course that wouldn't hurt my feelings.

No way that Pat Fitzgerald should be on that list. He is going to be a FANTASTIC coach. He's coming in on a very unfortunate situation with Randy Walker passing away.

I think it's Smith from Michigan State bar none.

When NC State beats Florida State, Amato's job will be safe for another year.

Rook,

You really don't think Northwestern won't can an interim coach if he ends up going 2-6 (or worse) in the Big Ten?

Fitzgerald is in over his head, the top offensive assistant left before the season began and the Northwestern job is attractive enough to pull in an up and coming coach from a smaller school.

As for Coker, it is shocking to me that one bad season would be enough to axe a guy who was 53-9 coming in to this season.

My own guess is that the first to be fired will be Bicknell and it could come after they get killed (again) this weekend

John---your batteries need recharging---

Of course, I could be just as far off myself, cause I think Miss St, gives W Va. a decent struggle this weekend........kapt
