Quick, someone calculate the amount of money spent this year on buyouts alone. Are we cracking $50 million? $100 million? Any schools in play to hire Charlie Weis and give him another awful contract?

About damn time.  President Barchi is in his last year so he doesn't even care about any blow-back.  Flood was the biggest joke of a coach ever and I can't believe he held down a FBS HC job this long.

Would they take him?

 

After UM fired Hoke, I remarked that I saw him as MAYBE a power 5 big program DL coach/associate HC, or if he wanted to be a HC again, he'd have to go to the MAC, Mountain West, etc.

 

But now that I think about it, if he went to UVA and won 6-7 games a year and took them bowling, they'd love him.  And his competition in the ACC Coastal doesn't include Florida State and Clemson.  Plus, he coached at Michigan, another public school with high academic reputations and requirements.

That shit-show needs fixed.  It's an embarassment to the entire league and pulls down eveyone's strength of schedule.  Even Purdon't is ashamed of Rutgers.  They need to hire a quality AD.  The B1G better be involved to make sure they don't screw this one up.

The big ten needs to drop five teams, I'm thinking Rutgers, Maryland, and Nebraska(?). The next two are up for debate. We add ND. No divisions, no conference championship game. Three non conference games against solid opponents will make up for the championship game. Pipe dream obviously.
