Todd Graham out at ASU.  Owed $12.3 million with no offset clause.  Leader in the clubhouse for dumbest contract?

No tears for Todd.  He's a rotter.  Rah-rah "faith, family, football" guy on the surface, and a stinker underneath.

I'm kind of surprised that Kent St would fire a coach who missed the first few games of the season fighting cancer.

Good hire and realistically probably the best they could do. Tennessee will play defense and run the ball and they won't be soft like they have been.

Tennessee fans are up in arms and pissed over this but who did they think they were going to get? Jon Gruden was a complete fantasy and they were never in the running for Chip or Scott Frost.

Schiano was a bad fit in the NFL but few college coaches are good fits there. He put Rutgers on the map and has been a long time assistant at PSU, Miami, and OSU.

Dan Wolken- CFB reporter for USA Today just tweeted Frost turned down Florida. 

Hope that means he's a lock to go to Nebraska.

Good Hire if true Mullen is very solid.Lost to Ole Miss after the QB went down early

Does it look bad or Florida that their #1 candidate ran off to LA to coach the 2nd best team in that city?

Not if they really landed Mullen. 
He's probably a better fit at UF than Chip.

yes, and even worse if Frost (#2) turned them down to go to UNL

Is Graham the guy who told his player to lay on the ball till the clock expired? Yah, no love loss for that @ss h@t.

And group texted his players last time he jumped jobs.  And has held about five dream jobs.

Nobody is shedding a tear for him.

One of my favorite EDSBS blogs is the Todd Graham challenge where you play NCAA on the PlayStation, but have to change jobs every two years, and can only use Coaching Loyalty as your recruiting pitch.

That said, I don't get firing him right now.  If anything, ASU vastly overachieved to get to 7-5.  That roster, on paper, was awful.  Granted he's been there long enough that it's his fault the roster got so bad.
