Not sure if that's an upgrade....Updates
Toledo HC Matt Campbell is the new coach at Iowa State.

That's a great hire for UCF. Homefield recruiting advantages, good conference to win, can schedule big OOC games, and huge school. That program can take off quickly.Matt Campbell has done wonders at Toledo.
UCF has named Scott Frost as their head coach. That is a very solid hire as I felt Nebraska should have hired him last year.
Their facilities are top notch as well. With the offense Frost runs, he'll have no problem attracting top offensive talent to Orlando.That's a great hire for UCF. Homefield recruiting advantages, good conference to win, can schedule big OOC games, and huge school. That program can take off quickly.
Late to reply to this but to say I am excited about this hire would be a fairly large understatement. There might be a year or two of growing pains but I am really looking forward to what he can do to jump start the offense. And if Foster can even keep up a top 20 defense let alone the good old top 2 or 3 days this could be really fun again.Memphis coach Justin Fuente is going to become the new head coach at Virginia Tech. Bud Foster will stay on at DC(at least for now).
They don't, he was great for them, and this was an exceptionally poor decision. From what I read today it looked like they had Oklahoma's OC Lincoln Riley as a target, and multiple reporters came out saying that won't happen because Riley and McNeill are close.UVa hires Bronco Mendenhall http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/12/4/7360507/bronco-mendenhall-virginia-head-coach-byu
ECU fired Ruffin McNeill, wonder if they have someone lined up, he wasn't bad and had a few wins over P5 teams.

Not a lawyer but have dealt with a lot of employment law at work.Sorry in advance for the ESPN link, but apparently Sarkisian has filed a lawsuit worth a read saying he was wrongfully terminated.
Sarkisian was on a flight to enter alcohol-rehabilitation treatment on Oct. 12when he was fired via email by athletic director Pat Haden.
"Instead of supporting its Head Coach, Steve Sarkisian, when he needed its help the most, USC kicked him to the curb," the lawsuit states. "Instead of honoring the contract it made with Steve Sarkisian, USC kicked him to the curb.
Not a lawyer, but I'd be surprised if there's a precedent for this sort of thing in labor law. It's like needing airline pilots to be sober or Hooters waitresses to be busty.
Agree. Its a long road to recovery on many levels. All the more reason to go after the money. Nothing will be coming quickly or easy for him that's for sure.He needs a bridge job to show he's attained sobriety. Something like a special assistant for a pro team.
Wonder what happens to him when Sumlin's fired next year?aTm just stole Noel Mazzone from UCLA to be their OC. Really good hire.
On the flip side, I wonder if Josh Rosen will have a Christian Hackenberg-esque career now.
Not so sure it's such a good hire. UCLA fans and the Rosen family have, according to 100% accurate and always-true internet scuttlebutt, been calling for Mazzone's ouster for months now. Rumor has it that he was finished at UCLA in any case, but that Sumlin saved him by offering the aggy OC position as they go way back. Aggieland doesn't seem very excited, either.aTm just stole Noel Mazzone from UCLA to be their OC. Really good hire.

Hoke subtly revealed his disdain for the tactical shift Michigan experienced under Rodriguez. He is convinced that modern spread option offenses can be counterproductive to the core values of smashmouth football and are, therefore, to be avoided.
"Right, wrong or indifferent, when you're zone blocking all the time -- when you're playing basketball on grass -- you practice against that all spring, you practice against it all fall and then you're going to play a two-back team that wants to knock you off the football," Hoke said. "I don't think you're prepared.
"I think there's a toughness level (required in college football). I still believe you win with defense. That's been beaten into my head a long time, but I really believe that. The toughness of your team has to be the offensive front and your defensive front."
It definitely brings excitement to the program and shows that new AD Josh Whitman, having very quickly climbed the ranks from DIII, is not intimidated. He's proving to be bold and decisive in just a couple weeks.Lovie Smith to Illinois. That was out of nowhere. Seems like a potentially great hire
