Randy Edsall was fired on Sunday. OC Mike Locksley will be the interim coach.

Sark wasn't on the hot seat long. He gone!

[SmoothPancakes]

Sarki fell off the wagon. Checked into rehab today according to SB Nation.

Damn. According to ESPN, it's immediately. An interim coach will be named Wednesday morning.

Translation: Steve, you suck this season. Retire or you will be fired. Choose now!

Sarki fell off the wagon. Checked into rehab today according to SB Nation.

IMO, it seemed like USC leaked some of the sordid details of Sark's issues to 1) justify firing him to possibly save Haden's job and 2) get Sark out of there following a very underachieving start to the season. I thought it was pretty tacky for the media (some in CA, some national) to be sharing those details. The guy has already been through enough and is trying to resolve his issues.

Haden is stepping down anyway after the season for health reasons.

He's had a rough past 6 months. Went through a divorce. Wife (now ex) got full custody of the kids, now lost his dream job. Hope he takes rehab seriously.

Technically, we could/should have started it on 8/28 with Illinois firing Tim Beckman.

UCF beats Miami....in changing their coach first today.

Frank Beamer to retire at the end of the season.

Norm Chow fired at Hawai'i.

[cdj]

Name I'm hearing could be in play at Maryland: JMU's Everett Withers. Knows the Big Ten.

Minnesota removes interim tag from DC Tracy Claeys. He signs a 3-year deal worth $1.4M a year.

[cdj]

Reports that Missouri's Gary Pinkel will be stepping down at the end of the year.

[CLW]

Reports that Missouri's Gary Pinkel will be stepping down at the end of the year.

sadly sounds like he has cancer

[SmoothPancakes]

sadly sounds like he has cancer

Trying to remember off the top of my head, but lymphoma if I remember right. Got diagnosed with it back in May. I guess the season ended up being more wear on him post-diagnosis than he expected or thought. Still sad all the way around. He had a hell of a career, sad to see it cut short early like this.
