29-22 in four years, 4-8 (1-7 AAC) this year.

Thought an experienced coach was a guaranteed way to victory?

The story mentions Fleck as a candidate. Why would he go there?

That job looked a lot better when everyone thought the big 12 was going to expand. Now, not so much.

Better stepping stone job then Purdue and some of the others he's been mentioned for, plus more money. Unless he is gonna get the Oregon job, it might be time to make the move.

I'm actually shocked he didn't succeed there. BTW, that's the first coach they've fired in ages. There's no bigger waste than having to fire coaches and ADs and having to pay out their contracts and all the assistants' contracts.

Sometimes when a coach like that resigns, assuming he is resigning because he wants to and is not being forced out, he will make a strong pitch for one of his loyal assistants to get the job. There may be a smooth transition there,

What makes you think we wants to? He's not retirement age and he looks pretty healthy.

He Resigned, was not fired. And he is not THAT young. A lot of folks retire by 62?

If you are Cinn,who would you rather have, Schiano (defense guru) or Lane Kiffen (offense guru) ? Cinncy one fo the best G5 jobs.

He did resign but the writing was on the wall. He would most likely have been fired soon. His act wore thin and the fans did not support him and attendance dropped. I am surprised he was not fired last off season.

I was never sold on him, but what is "his act?" His record was mediocre post Auburn.
