I'm fairly certain Vandy would be an attractive destination for any potential hires.IfWhen UM fires Hoke they'll still have a lot to choose from.

he's come off clueless in press conferences too, but can Vandy afford to can a HC after one season? And who would they get to replace him? I thought he was a good hire at the time, but bringing in Karl as OC and trying to run that abortion of an offensive system in the SEC at Vandy was never going to work.
Karl DorrellGlad you brought that up,what the BLUE HELL are they running on offense anyway & what is the OC's name?
Oh God (facepalm)Karl Dorrell
THIS IS KARL DORRELL FOOTBALL
You don't do nothing like that in the SEC,just stupidhaha, i was thinking the same thing. three starting qbs.

Count Gary Barnett among those interested in the Kansas job.
"Do I think I have a shot? I have no idea," the former Colorado and Northwestern coach told CBSSports.com. "Who knows what they're going to look for. It's a natural for me in so many ways. It's something that I would really want to do but who knows? They've got so many choices."
The Kansas job has been open for 12 days. Charlie Weis was fired Sept. 28. Barnett, 68, lives in the Phoenix area and does college football radio color commentary on the weekends.
He rose to prominence as an assistant under Bill McCartney during Colorado's glory years. As a head coach, he took Northwestern to the 1996 Rose Bowl in one of the best resurrection jobs in college football history. In his final two seasons he finished 8-16 before moving to Colorado in 1999.
From 2001-05, Barnett took the Buffs to four Big 12 Championship Games in five years, winning the 2001 Big 12 title. That 2001 season included the monumental upset of Nebraska (62-36). Despite that loss in the final regular-season game, the Huskers advanced to the BCS title game.
Barnett's tenure at CU ended amid scandal. At the time, the NCAA adopted new recruiting legislation due to situations at Colorado and Miami. There were also remarks made my Barnett about kicker Katie Hnida. Barnett resigned from Colorado in December 2005. The Buffaloes haven't had a winning season since.
"That piece of it, modeling programs, being in the Midwest, [fit]," Barnett said. "I know the conference. From my perspective it seems natural. ... It's something that I would do."
Barnett first publicly expressed interest in the Kansas opening Thursday during a radio interview with 810 WHB in Kansas City.
Kansas interim coach Clint Bowen lost his first game last week at West Virginia. Most speculation for a replacement revolves around former members of Mark Mangino's staff.Mangino, now the offensive coordinator at Iowa State, took the Jayhawks to the Orange Bowl in 2007.
Since Mangino left in 2009, KU is 11-42.
"They've got really to take a good hard look," Barnett said. "They've gone the hot young route [Turner Gill]. They've gone the guru route [Weis]. Who knows what they're going to do? I can't imagine anybody having a better résumé than I have."
I could see Houston being a good fit.
Gary Barnett probably still loves goat balls, too.
He's not a horrible idea, especially from the University that hired Weis, but you have to think there's someone better out there.
I met him - he's a fucking idiot. Also, go look up his "removing himself from consideration" for the ND job back in 2004. He's a putz.???
Why hatin' on Gary Barnett?
Jim Harbaugh... or Jon Gruden? hmmmm

Couldn't find much other than the Katie Hnida scandal.
Elaborate, pls?
''I am very humbled and flattered that Notre Dame has asked me to be considered a candidate for their head football coaching position,'' Barnett said in a statement released by Northwestern. ''However, for very personal and private reasons, I have informed Notre Dame officials that I wish not to be considered as a candidate.''Couldn't find much other than the Katie Hnida scandal.
Elaborate, pls?
Didn't the starting QB knock up the head coach's daughter when he was the OC/QB coach at Colorado in the late 80's/early 90's?
I could see Houston being a good fit.
Is Tony Levine on the hot seat?
Yes. The Coogs are 2-3 in Levine's 3rd season; QB John O'Korn (the 2013 AAC freshman of the year) has been benched; Greg Ward, who had switched to WR in the offseason, will start at QB against a much improved Memphis squad.
You can almost smell the desperation...
I watched a couple of their games this season,has Levine threw away the No Huddle system that has worked wonders through the years in a favor of a Pro Style system?
To be honest I have no idea what offense OC Travis Bush is trying to run. It clearly isn't the Air Raid we've employed since Sumlin was hired in 2008.
For reasons known only to Bush and Levine it was decided that we would de-emphasize the short crossing routes and quick sticks that are the bread and butter of the Air Raid in favor of slower developing (and lower %) vertical routes without changing the hurry up tempo that has been our calling card for the past few years. The UTSA game made it brutally obvious that we don't have nearly the caliber of OL or WR's necessary to do that. The running game has suffered badly as well. When Holgerson and Kingsbury were here they had less than stellar OL's, so they used wide splits to create running lanes and motion to influence the LB's away from where we wanted to run: TB's scheme has almost none of that. The result of all this is that we have an offense that is damn near impotent against FBS caliber defenses.
O'Korn has had very few clean pockets this season which has in turn resulted in lots of hurried off target throws. As the season has gone on Bush has slowed down the tempo and tried to mix in more short throws with very little success.
It appears that JOK's decision making and mechanics have regressed to the point where he has trouble completing even the most basic of throws; the receivers are dropping more passes as they are clearly starting to hear footsteps; the running game is a hit or miss affair at best. The result of all that is that UH is currently 93rd in the nation in scoring offense vs FBS schools (22.8/gm). In short, we suck.
Last season, Buffalo went 8-5.Wat why
I thought they won like 8 games the last 2 years
Right, I meant each of the last 2 years. It looks like he went 4-8 in 2012 doe.Last season, Buffalo went 8-5.
Jeff Quinn was fired from Buffalo. Had no idea until just now. Alex Wood was named interim HC.
