Brigham Young -- Gary Crowton -- "resigned" -- (n/a)
East Carolina -- John Thompson -- "resigned" -- Spanky Holtz
Florida -- Ronnie Zook -- F-F-F-FIRED -- Urban Meyer
Illinois -- Ron Turner -- fired -- Ron Zook
Indiana -- Gerry DiNardo -- doesn't matter, he's gone -- (n/a)
Mississippi -- David Cutcliffe -- Fired -- (n/a)
New Mexico State -- Tony Samuel -- Fired -- (n/a)
Notre Dame -- Tyrone Willingham -- extremely fired -- (n/a)
Ohio -- Brian Knorr -- fired -- (n/a)
San Jose State -- Fitz Hill -- "resigned" -- (n/a)
South Carolina -- Lou Holtz -- resigned -- Steve Spurrier
Stanford -- Buddy Teevans -- fired -- (n/a)
UNLV -- John Robinson -- "resigned" -- Mike Sanford
Utah -- Urban Meyer -- resigned -- Kyle Whittingham
Utah State -- Mike Dennehy -- fired -- Brent Guy
Washington -- Keith Gilbertson -- who cares -- (n/a)
Western Michigan -- Gary Darnell -- fired -- Bill Cubit
===========================
The Whittingham hiring is not surprising, but is probably a mistake. Everyone is scrambling for a Utah coach. It's hard to give any credit to anyone but Meyer, being that Meyer ran that same offense at Bowling Green as well. It's Meyer's credit, folks. You'd think with 15 million bucks they'd want to go out and get a coach with name recognition.
As far as Brent Guy, he was defensive coordinator at Arizona State in at least this past season. Arizona State lost to the 2 best teams on their schedule, and then couldn't stop the Arizona Wildcats. So you make your own decision. In this guys credit, he was defensive coordinator at Boise from 98-00.
