Coaching Carousel Rumors and Facts

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Thought it might be a good idea to start a thread that contains nothing but (legitimate) coaching rumors and actual facts related to hirings and firings. This is going to be a wild "silly season" in the college football coaching ranks. There is no telling which dominos will fall where.

I'll start with a few (legitimate rumors) I have seen recently so you guys can see what I'm thinking for this thread.

I meant for this one to be just for actual updates and not discussion - like the recruiting news thread in the recruiting forum.

Philly has become the city of losers all of a sudden -- Phillies - Eagles - 76ers all horrible I didnt even bother to check the Flyers

I'd really be surprised. SC has prided itself on running pro type offenses and being Tailback U for years. Pat Haden is the AD, former NFLer, I cannot see him giving Chip Kelly and his gimmick offense, that did not work in the NFL the time of day. Time will tell.
