Coaching carousel 2011

@fbrumormill saying Hugh Freeze has been hired at Ole Miss. He was Arkansas State's coach. He was also Michael "Blind Side" Oher's high school football coach.

I guess there was other stuff going on with Pat Hill with his attitude and a degenerate son causing problems.

Sports by Brooks Twitter just mentioned that a former North Carolina player just tweeted that Southern Miss's Larry Fedora is expected to be named the new Tar Heels coach later today.

 
June Jones to take the ASU job and Fedora to UNC. Also read that Randy Shannon to Arky for DC job.

One source said negative reaction from fans and boosters to the selection of Jones prompted the reversal.

Who is ASU holding out for?

I have a good friend who's an ASU booster and this is my take on all of it based on what he's told me...

ASU backed out of the Sumlin deal when aTm got involved as they were not willing to get into a bidding war which is where I think it was headed very quickly. I think this looked worse for ASU than it actually was...they simply just bowed out of the auction which is respectable. If I extend someone an offer and they start playing the "well...aTm is coming at me pretty hard - might need you to come up with some more money" game then I'd tell them just to have fun with aTm too.

That being said, it does sound like they have an "inmates running the asylum" problem when it comes to Jones. A couple of very vocal boosters (the vocal minority) were trying to push the Jones thing through so the AD went ahead with it feeling as though that's what the boosters wanted. Once the offer had been extended, the formerly quiet majority started becoming more vocal about their displeasure with the decision. So, literally before the details could be ironed out on the contract, enough boosters had pitched enough of a fit to overturn the decision created by those couple boosters trying to get it pushed through from the start. So the offer was pulled. Sounds like their AD needs to decide who's calling the shots around there.

As far as who they are holding out for, I don't think that's the issue nor can anyone really agree on one name. I don't think the June Jones decision had anything to do with who else they knew they wanted, but more to do with who they knew they didn't want...June Jones.
