The Sun Devils can definitely compete in the PAC-12 with the right coach.

We've been hearing that about ASU and the Pac 10/12 for what? 30 years?

So nearly a year later, I guess we can make the final diagnosis: Urban Meyer was indeed sick...of coaching Florida.

Schiano was Curley's guy so I think he is probably out.

I had forgotten that. That's a good point.

Schiano's Rutgers teams have underachieved in a terribly weak conference the last four or five years, and that's another reason he's probably out.

If Stanford and Cal can, so can ASU. But I agree, it has been said a lot over the years.

Schiano should have bolted in '06 after the Texas Bowl win. His window of opportunity has closed IMO.

I think he gets one more year, but mercy, he didn't do himself any favors. Vols haven't really been competitive outside of tomato-can games since September, and that was a baaaad Kentucky game they lost the streak to.

It also says a lot about the depth of the Pac-12 that, most likely, one-third of its programs will be starting over with a new coach next season.

Maybe he can convince his dad to join his staff next season...

Pretty crazy huh? Think Neuheisel gets the pink slip after Chip Kelly takes him behind the woodshed this Friday? Call me crazy, but the fire needs to be turned up on Tedford's seat.

...and a number of comments from current and former players in the wake of the disastrous loss to Kentucky did him no favors, nor did his comment that the program hit rock bottom and he'd now rebuild it.

Um, Dooley, you are entering your third year.

His buyout is $5 million, so he's most likely safe for another year. But there are two wild cards: (1) Dave Hart is not the AD who hired him and (2) lose 20,000 season tickets and another 20,000 in single game sales, which is a realistic expectation for next season, and a $5 million buyout becomes chump change.

As a Vol fanboi, I'd rather have his mom.

Babs would be a great addition to the staff. I'm a Gator BTW

Flying - a guy comes in after a school just fired an alumn who had sime success and he was presumably hired to put his own stamp on the program and change the culture and in order to do that he is gonna step on toes. Giving up now would be silly

A $5 million buyout is chump change for a most SEC schools.

Any chance Phat Phil pulls an Uncle Bill Snyder, and returns back to Rocky Top?

Kids will never play for him. Like His idol Coughlin, Edsall better off in NFL. All that a Western PA BS isn't going to play well with inner city kids from Baltimore and DC.

If kids won't play for him why did he have success at Conn

I would doubt it. Even though Fulmer won a title at UT, I think it's safe to say people there were ready for him to go. Tennessee, unlike K-state, also can afford to bring in a big-name coach if it so desires. The Vols have been down for a few years, but its still a destination job if they bring in the right person.
