    Jim Tressel.
     
  2. I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Tressel ended up the next Penn State coach

    Really? The guy lied to the NCAA, and could soon be getting a show-cause penalty for it. Even if he doesn't get a show-cause, the AD who hires him will have to answer a lot of unpleasant questions at the introductory press conference.

    Houston Nutt. Could coach again, but it won't be at a BCS school.

    Is that the synonym he's using for "nobody wants to hire me?"

    Probably. He is a terrible coach, Sarkisian is still cleaning up his mess and doing a decent job up here.

    Nueheisel did receive an extension at Colorado and then jumped his contract to go to Washington. He was not fired.

    But I don't think he could get a job at a BSC eligible school. I could see him getting a Mountain West or WAC job. Neuheisel can interview well.

    In that ilk, John Wooden, but I believe Wooden's ghost could coach a MEAC school to a national championship.

    Rene Portland and Dave Bliss are the two who come to mind.

    I disagree with a lot of names in this thread because, to me, unhireable means the person couldn't get a job at a small school or as an assistant. I absolutely think that if Todd Bozeman has a job, Bruce Pearl and Jim Tressel will find something.

    I forgot Bill Callahan existed. Haha. Nebraska. It's funny all over again.
