Jerry Kill, good coach, good man

rumor was that at one time, Patterson was offered the Nebraska job

Gary Patterson out at TCU. Our old friend Jerry Kill is the interim.
Gary‘s story is an illustrative one. In this business, it doesn’t end well almost all the time. 

if a coach is lucky, he leaves the Fanbase pissed at him and the players abandoned. And most get fired at one point.

Wasn't Jerry Kill the one that looked like the Minnesota mascot?

Wow, TCU is anxious to not matter ever again, aren't they?

Smoke is they want Sonny Dykes, as does Texas Tech, and maybe Virginia Tech. Not bad, for a guy with an overall record of 70-60

Brian Ferentz is being fired/resigning after desecrating the black and gold flag; Kevin Wilson will replace him. ;) Umm does nepotism work this way?

A lot of these firings I just don't understand, at all, but I figure the folks who write checks have a WIN NOW OR ELSE concept and drive the bus.

I kind of wonder how many work out for the better, overall.  It's been noted for example that Smart at UGA is barely doing better in wins than Richt did, and Smart inherited a pretty loaded team.  The Vols of course have been through a wringer, maybe they have their guy now, maybe not.

South Carolina is looking for the next Spurrier, and likely won't find one.

The Monday After: Florida coach Dan Mullen takes over hottest seat in SEC with Ed Orgeron out at LSU - CBSSports.com

Probably true, but it's not THAT hot, yet.  I think folks still view Mullen as a good coach overall, I think Grantham has to go.  They aren't going to find anyone better at this point.  But they do need to win out to get to 8-4, including a win over FSU.  All these teams wanting to WIN NOW and they all can't do it, it's impossible.  Some might, and some might find a nugget in the rough.

Miami's Diaz was on the chopping block as well.  Fire'em all?  The pool of candidates gets stretched.

Then you end up doing a Tennessee or a Texas.

Whose they?And what are they smoking?Have not followed TCU that closely but Patterson seems to be competent and consistent maybe not a big enough splash.Does TCU consistently have the draw to stay round out the Top 25.I'm guessing with out looking they seem to be the type of progam that loiters in the 20-30 rankings range.This could end like OAM hinted = :-[ .VTech is a team I thought would do better but Justin Fuentes did a great job in Memphis and don't hink he'll be let go just yet

There's a reason they're called "the cockroaches."

Is there some FCS coach who looks prominent or successful?  Or further down?  Anyone lighting it up down there?  And I know it may not translate.

Maybe there is a firey young guy somewhere who merits a shot?

Probably fired Patterson because TCU realizes they can't afford him on G6 conference revenues...
