Outgoing Coaches: Bowled Over
Since Ron Zook was shown the door he'd soon be exiting, twenty coaching changes to date have been announced. Of those twenty schools, seven teams were involved in post-season bowl games:
Florida Gators (Ron Zook) Miami 27 Florida 10
Notre Dame Fighting Irish (Tyrone Willingham) Oregon State 38 Notre Dame 21
Pittsburgh Panthers (Walt Harris) Utah 35 Pitt 7
Miami (Ohio) RedHawks (Terry Hoeppner) Iowa State 17 Miami (Ohio) 13
*Syracuse Orange (Paul Pasqualoni) Georgia Tech 51 Syracuse 14
Louisiana State Tigers (Nick Saban) Iowa 30 LSU 25
Utah Utes (Urban Meyer) Utah 35 Pitt 7
And of those seven teams, six of them lost...hmmm. [Note: the seventh (Utah), by virtue of the fact the Utes were playing Pitt, meant that the skein could not go to the full 0-7. ]
*Pasqualoni was rumored to be on the hot seat but was not fired until after the bowl game, though new Syracuse AD, Daryl Gross, did not give much of a ringing endorsement when interviewed during the Champs Sports Bowl thrashing.
