While in the interim between the regular and Bowl seasons, the annual “Coaching Carousel” begins to spin. This year is no different, and we have already seen a slue of newcomers, many of which are filling holes that were vacated as a result of dramatic departures.
Probably the most notable is the resignation of living-legend Bobby Bowden. Although it was Bowden who announced his retirement, you must not have been paying attention if you don’t believe he was forced out. Since Mark Richt, took the head coaching position at Georgia following the 2000 season, things have been shaky for Bowden and the Seminoles. Bowden tapped his son, Jeff, to take over the Offensive Coordinator position, a

On the other hand, filling the void left by Charlie Weis at Notre Dame wasn’t so easy. Much like those at FSU, the Irish Boosters and fans were less than pleased with a 6-6 regular season, after going 7-6 in 2008, and 3-9 in 2007. With the firing of Weis came many rumors of Urban Meyer, Jon Gruden, and Tony Dungy, with the most attention going to the possibility of either Bob Stoops or Jim Harbaugh taking the job. Notre Dame ended up going with Cincinnati’s Brian Kelly – and current Bearcat players blasted him in the media for it. Needless to say, with Golden Tate and Jimmy Clausen leaving early for the NFL, Kelly will have a lot of work to do.

Other examples of such efforts can be seen in Virginia (hired Richmond HC, Mike London), Western Kentucky (hired Stanford RB coach, Willie Taggart), and Memphis (hired LSU RB coach, Larry Porter). But the most notable might be in Louisville, who hired Florida DC Charlie Strong. After beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant for UF in 1983,

Overall, out of the 14 coaching vacancies following the 2009 season 9 have been filled; 5 by African-Americans. Looks like some progress.
But that leaves 6 spots yet to be filled, and we will have to wait and see how that all pans out. Some of the more notable rumors include(d):
-Marshall: FSU O-Line coach, Rick Trickett (staying put in Tallahassee), and Central Michigan HC Butch Jones (hired by Cincinnati on Wednesday).
-San Jose State: UCLA OC, Norm Chow to San Jose State (Chow shot that one down, quickly). Alabama assistant, Jim McElwain reported to have turned down an offer on Monday.
-Buffalo: Cincinnati OC Jeff Quinn (Quinn is coaching the Bearcats in the Sugar Bowl), Boise State OC Bryan Harsin and Yale HC Tom Williams.
-Cincinnati: OC Jeff Quinn, East Carolina HC Skip Holtz, Temple HC Al Golden (withdrew Tuesday morning), and Central Michigan HC Butch Jones (interviewed Tuesday; hired Wednesday).
-UNLV: Former TCU, Alabama, and Texas A&M coach Dennis Fanchione, and Jacksonville Jaguars OC Dirk Koetter.
-Louisiana-Monroe: UNLV OC Todd Berry is reported on Tuesday to have accepted the position.
The Bowls start on Monday. Be sure to fill out your online Pick ‘Em entries!
