Ohio State is in talks with Urban Meyer. No need to go any further in their hunt.

There will be if Meyer decides not to go to Columbus...

Rich Rod in as Arizona coach.

Time for ASU to get on there as well.

I had high hopes for Arizona State, but loses to Washington St., UCLA, and Arizona. Ouch.

Added, along with FAU. I had forgotten Schnelley was retiring this year.

Anyone else I missed? The pre/mid season firings/retirements are tough to remember.

Rumors are circulating that Akron will release Ianello from the remainder of his contract. No surprise - 2 years, 2 wins (only one against an FBS team).

Yep. I wonder if Erickson fell off the wagon or something. That's a bad streak.

No reason to keep him around.

None.

Remembered to add UNC and Butch Davis.

Any predictions for who else gets the axe in the next few weeks?

I really hope ECU ends up on that list. I can't stand two losing seasons in a row.

I just follow the bouncing heads...

Porter out at Memphis.

Davis was fired in July, wasn't he? That's last season.

And I wouldn't mind seeing ASU get Davis.
