I'd love to see Strong on the staff, but I highly doubt it happens. Frost will likely ride with his guys at least one more year unless someone leaves on their own. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Chris Petersen’s surprise resignation at Washington spins college football coaching carousel By Matt Bonesteel Dec. 2, 2019 at 1:19 p.m. CST The college football regular season was barely a memory before struggling programs started firing coaches Sunday. And, considering the early signing period in recruiting begins in less than three weeks, those programs are likely to move fast. “The early signing [period] has complicated football searches,” Missouri Athletic Director Jim Sterk, who fired Coach Barry Odom on Sunday, told Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports. “Speed is important.” LINK =================================================================== This is a pretty good Washington Post article highlighting who's in, who's out, and who the candidates are for all of college football.
