Can confirm Jay Glazer report that Gary Kubiak has been fired 3 games sny of 8 full seasons.


So the NFL team can let a guy go with 3 games left and no one gets up in arms.

If Boise State hires Harsin, does Arkansas State hire Rhett Lashlee? At 30, would probably be the youngest head coach in FBS history.

Kyle Flood's job as Rutgers head coach appears to be safe (for now), but the same reportedly can't be said for a trio of assistants on his coaching staff.

Citing a source inside the RU football program, the Newark Star-Ledger is reporting that Flood has dismissed defensive coordinator Dave Cohen, quarterbacks coach Rob Spence and offensive line coach Damian Wroblewski

Rutgers are reported to be in the Pinstripe Bowl against Notre Dame. Another report claims Coach Kelly has stated that Golson will not practice for ND prior to this bowl game.

Welcome Back, Koetter?

Will Boise return to the late-90s well and talk with Dirk Koetter? A report out of Idaho says Boise will do so Monday. Koetter coached Boise to a 26-10 record from 1998-2000, followed by six decent but not great years at Arizona State and a good run as an NFL offensive coordinator since then.

Coach Koetter replaced Houston Nutt in Boise.

I'm surprised no big time program has at least tried to hire Tedford as an OC. Talk about major recruiting connections to Cali

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Dave Clawson today was named as the 32nd head football coach in Wake Forest University history. The head coach at Bowling Green State University for the past five seasons, Clawson led the Falcons to the 2013 Mid-American Conference championship on Friday with a 47-27 win over No. 16 Northern Illinois.

"We are very pleased to have Dave Clawson leading our football program," said Director of Athletics Ron Wellman.

Reportedly Briles intends to retire at Baylor. Apparently his family feels very comfortable with the central Texas Baptist culture. Briles seems to be from the, how much money do you want and how much do you really need culture, much like Patterson at TCU.

UAB: Despite a report that has surfaced on another website, Garrick McGee has not dismissed his entire defensive staff. As CoachingSearch.com reported a couple of weeks ago, McGee will hire a new defensive coordinator who will be allowed to bring one assistant with him.  Defensive line coach Kevin Peoples and defensive backs coach Brandon Sharpe remain with the staff.

Central Arkansas: Expect former Arkansas State head coach Steve Roberts to interview for the head coaching job at Central Arkansas. As CoachingSearch.com mentioned recently, I continue to hear that Abilene Christian head coach Ken Collums is also likely to interview.

Nebraska: Athletic director Shawn Eichorst denies to the Omaha World-Herald any rumors that Nebraska reached out to Mack Brown.

FAU: According to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, Charlie Partridge's five-year contract is worth $2.76 million, and he will be introduced on Tuesday.

Vandy's James Franklin was asked about being a potential candidate for the Texas job that opened up when Mack Brown resigned over the weekend. Franklin is leading a coachingsearch.com poll about who should be the Longhorns' next coach.

"I'm really excited about playing Houston," Franklin said. "That's what our focus is. Any of those other things, you know, we don't talk about that are outside of our area of control or focus or concern."
