bring june jones back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kevin Sumlin and Larry Fedora interviewed with A&M AD Bill Byrne for 2+ hours on Monday in NYC. Source
Strong rumors that Larry Fedora is going from Southern Miss to North Carolina; Kevin Sumlin from Houston to Illinois.
The stable of coaches in the Big Ten is turning into quite the one.
It'll be interesting to see who Southern Miss and Houston go after if those rumors become fact. Hire the wrong coaches, and the Southern Miss and Houston that we have right now, doing good and ending each year with good records, will potentially drop into pit of non-existence when it comes to football records, conference championships and bowl games.
I'm Southern Miss will probably continue to hire from within, likely their Offensive Coordinator. Not sure about Houston.
The three biggest names getting the most discussion from ASU fans are:
Jim Leavitt - overall everyone's #1 choice I think... aside from his run-in with hitting a player, the guy's a winner. He's currently the LB coach with the 49ers
Randy Fitchner - QB coach for the Steelers, he was the OC from 97-01. Said he wants to get into college coaching. He's also being rumored for Memphis... they'll pay a lot more, but we're a better situation.
Trooper Taylor - WR coach for Auburn. Rumor is Freeze suggested him on his way out the door. He's a polarizing figure and would be a tough sell for some of our fans due to his rah-rah attitude and rumors of being a dirty recruiter.
If that happens, I really begin to wonder who A&M ends up with. With the buyout they paid to Sherman, they need a slam-dunk hire to justify it. Not sure they have a hope of getting one at this point.

Based on the rumor mill, it sounds like the Sumlin-to-Illinois rumors are way off, but Fedora-to-UNC is all but a done deal.
Also hearing Alabama OC Jim McElwain is in the lead for the Memphis job.
AD Bill Byrne fired RC Slocum who went 123-47-2 at the school His two hires since then (Franchione & Sherman) have gone a combined 57-54. He must be getting bonus points for his basketball hires (Gillispie, Turgeon, Kennedy) and move to the SEC. Most ADs don't get to hire three football coaches without getting the ax.
SPORTSbyBROOKS posted earlier there's a rumor Slocum reached out to Tommy Tuberville to gauge his interest for the A&M job.Who knows how true that is.
Rumor is that Jim Leavitt is interested in the ASU job... if that's the case, it should be a short search.
Larry Fedora to UNC; Joe Schad reporting June Jones to be next coach at Arizona State.
Hmmmm... Arizona vs Arizona State would be an interesting game.
