Memphis: There’s considerable pressure on Memphis Coach Tommy West. Early names: Former Southern Miss Coach Jeff Bower, current Florida DC Charlie Strong…
Syracuse: AD Daryl Gross’ ties to former Raiders Coach Lane Kiffin and USC OC Steve Sarkisian make them popular guesses. Illinois OC Mike Locksley has been working behind the scenes for months to position himself to take over. Syracuse alum and current UConn Coach Randy Edsall is probably the most-sure fire hire – if Gross can lure him away. Saints OC Doug Marrone also figures to be a player…
Virginia: There are a lot of boosters who believe ECU Coach Skip Holtz is the answer…
East Carolina: If Skip Holtz lands another job (likely), there are several names being floated to replace him. Illinois OC Mike Locksley, South Carolina DC Ellis Johnson and South Carolina State Head Coach Buddy Pough are the most popular at the moment…
Washington: The early favorite to replace the soon to be fired Washington Coach Tyrone Willingham is Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel. Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham’s name is also being floated.
