   he was actually promoted to vice-assistant-backup head coach

   Promotion is far more likely than termination under Mack Brown.

   We should move heaven and earth to get Ed Orgeron on this defensive staff. He’s exactly what we need.

   I doubt Mack would be ‘comfortable’ with Orgeron.

   Orgeron is oil (OK, a raging well fire that would make Red Adair shit his pantalones) and Mack is water.

   There were rumors about Orgeron (can we just call him “Orgazmo”?) coming in as DC back when Tomey/Robinson were brought in, but it faded when Ole Miss came calling.

   Ed and Mack are both nuts, so maybe they have something in common.

   My fairly obvious bets for future firings:

   Robinson out at Syracuse (probably tomorrow)
   Dorrell out at UCLA (probably one minute after their 63-7 loss to USC)
   Gailey out at GT (maybe tomorrow)

   I figured Doba out at WSU, but he won against UW today. So it may not happen for a month if at all.

   If Gailey is gone, then Tenuta may be job hunting. I don’t see 7-5 as a firable offense at GT, though, but maybe it is. Regardless, Akina most likely isn’t going anywhere, unless Mack is really feeling the heat from Big Money.

   Did Dorrell save his job today? I think much like Franchione it’s too little, too late but mathematically they do have a shot at the Rose.

    “I doubt Mack would be ‘comfortable’ with Orgeron.”

    And I doubt any coach with a set of balls would be comfortable answering to a pussy like Mack. He IS the problem, and the ass-clowns he hires are merely a reflection of his softness. Tomey and Robinson were exceptions, reluctantly hired to clean up the mess from the 2003 meltdown, and they bailed after one season.

    We’ll get out of this mess when Mack leaves, and not before.

    Yeah, it’s an awful mess we’re in. How will we go on.

    Do you guys really want Ed Orgeron to be DC? The guy is a good position coach and recruiter, but he has also proven to be a pathetic manager and strategist, not to mention a dumbass in general. He’s like a retarded version of Bobby Jack Wright.

13. HenryJames said:

    No one is advocating Orgeron for DC. Bring him on as a position coach.

14. BRAGGonUT said:

    Chan Gailey out at Georgia Tech.

15. HenryJames said:

    November 26th, 2007 at 9:13 am

    That means Jon Tenuta is available as well.

    Ted Roof, Ted Roof, Ted Roof has been fired.

    how long were you waiting to bust that one out?

18. kchorn04 said:

    November 26th, 2007 at 9:42 am

    Pretty soon after realizing that weren’t any bad puns coming out of the Jeff Bower firing at Southern Miss.

    Out of curiousity, throw out some “wish list” names for DC if you guys wise up and get rid of Akina. Our fanbase just spent an entire season throwing out the names of every coach in America from peewee to NFL who we want to bring on board, so I’m curious to hear it from another set of fans.

    my peewee DC gave up 0 yds passing per game for an entire season when I was 8. on 0 pass attempts.

21. kchorn04 said:

    Just to recap the day:

    Nutt out at Arkansas
    Jeff Bower out at Southern Miss
    Ted Roof out at Duke
    Chan Gailey out at GT

    Some really nice jobs on the market this year. Chizik must be pissed.
