The wrath of the FP


The FP has wreaked havoc on college football coaches this season. All but one of the following recently fired coaches received at least one loss at the hands of an FP coach's team:

  • Alabama -- Fired Mike Shula (GQ, Rob, Bando)
  • Arizona State -- Fired Dirk Koetter (GQ, Rob)*
  • Cincinnati -- Mark Dantonio left for Michigan State (Woody and Bando twice, Rob once)
  • Florida International -- Fired Don Strock (Bando)
  • Iowa State -- Dan McCarney Resigned (Rob, GQ and Bando)
  • Miami -- Fired Larry Coker (Woody twice, Rob)
  • Michigan State -- Fired John L. Smith (GQ, Woody and Bando)
  • North Carolina -- Fired John Bunting (Rob, Bando and Woody)
  • North Texas -- Fired Darrell Dickey (Rob)
Which coach and team are missing from this list? Chuck Amato and N.C. State, who downed Woody's woeful Florida State Seminoles 24-20 in October. (Ouch.) By the way, did Arizona State fire Dirk Koetter, or did Woody?

I thought about the similar scenarios when I saw the the ASU firing.

Notice how the two FP coaches that have teams on this list are struggling for the bottom this coming weekend.
Word to the wise... don't pick a team that is going to have it's coach fired.

Who would have thought the season would come down to watching the ticker for the TCU score.

Yep, that's definitely the moral of the story. Would you mind filling me in on which coaches are going to be fired at the end of the 2007 season? ;)

No kidding. It's not quite Iowa State-Missouri, but it's still exciting.

Yep. Jim Tressel and Philip Fulmer both get canned at the end of next year. That would be fine with me.
