As we highlighted in this entry last week, injuries and attrition have been a major topic in WolfpackNation over the last couple of years. Our numbers are not a pretty sight; but, we’ve surprisingly found another program that has had it worse. Of course, that program has fired their coach (who will stay on until […]
Coaches
The Fall Guys
After a busy weekend of college football, we are a week closer to the cranking up of the coaching carousel. The Wiz of Odds has an interesting entry this morning on college football coaches and their coordinators.

RUMOR: “BOWDEN TO BE FIRED THIS AFTERNOON” – from Block C (didn’t happen…yet) The Wolfpack’s idle week has obviously given us the opportunity to focus on some interesting coaching situations developing across the country at places like Tennessee and Auburn.

Tommy Bowden Dead Index
A preseason top 10 ranking in your 12th season as a team’s head coach is a death sentence only if you’re the sort of coach who enjoys toying with failure, running the program perilously close to the gaping edge of a losing season, and then dramatically rallying in WWE style from a sure submission hold.
