Hopefully he comes back to Stanford! They just fired their coach this weekend.

Hope they get the program back on track with a new coach/staff.

GO IRISH.

People are speculating Urban Meyer from Utah (he has a buyout clause for Notre Dame), but I'm sure the Utes will do their best to stop that.

Urban Meyer would be nice.

Some people are partial to Gruden as well..

Urban Meyer is almost certain to replace Willingham.

Too late, he's already talking to Washington...

I'm betting Butch Davis is headed to Florida.

With Willingham out -- and after the recent firing of New Mexico State's Tony Samuel and resignation of Fitz Hill from San Jose State -- there are now only two black head coaches in Division I-A: Karl Dorrell at UCLA and Sylvester Croom at Mississippi State.

Isn't it amazing that to some people, this is the most important fact! Women make up over 50% of the population, but how many Division I-A coaches are women?

Y'know, maybe they should have kept Lou Holtz on board...

I wonder why this had to be included. I thought race was not supposed to matter.

I agree.

I am thrilled at the prospect of getting Urban Meyer, though.

Actually Meyer has an explicit out for three schools that he can designate each season. Right now those three are Notre Dame, Michigan, and Ohio State. So he can go there without any buyout being required.

Or offered Barry Alvarez whatever it took not to leave as DC.

Sure sounds like it. I'm sure Jesse and Al are already hiring protesters to picket in from the Notre Dame. Then I imagine some hate crimes charges will be brought up.
