Possible replacements at Boston College according to Pete Roussel at coachingsearch.com

Danny Rocco (Richmond - head coach): In his first season as the Richmond head coach, Rocco led the Spiders to an 8-3 record while claiming the Colonial Athletic Association championship. He previously served as the head coach at Liberty, where he led the program to six consecutive winning seasons and four Big South Conference championships. Rocco is a former Boston College defensive line coach under Tom Coughlin from 1991-1993.

Sean McDonnell (New Hampshire - head coach): Sean McDonnell is 88-55 in twelve seasons at the New Hampshire head coach. In the last three seasons, McDonnell has led his program to 28-11 record. He was the 2005 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year and three-time New England Coach of the Year (2005, 2008, 2010). McDonnell served as a grad assistant at Boston College in 1988. He served on the Boston University staff from 1985-87.

Mike Sherman (Miami Dolphins - offensive coordinator): Sherman is in the first season as the Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator after four seasons as the head coach at Texas A&M. Sherman (57) is from Norwood, Massachusetts. His parents live in Cape Cod.

Darrell Hazell (Kent State - head coach): In his second season as the Kent State head coach, Hazell has led the program to an 11-1 record. Kent State will play Northern Illinois on Friday night in the MAC championship. During his career, Hazell has coached at Oberlin, Eastern Illinois, Penn, Western Michigan, Army, West Virginia, Rutgers, and Ohio State. The last minority head coach (major sport) Boston College hired was basketball coach Al Skinner.

Houston Nutt (former Arkansas and Ole Miss head coach): On the surface, it seems like a stretch because Nutt has not coached in the northeast region, but don't be surprised if he enters the mix. Nutt (55) is a three-time SEC Coach of the Year.

Pat Narduzzi (Michigan State - defensive coordinator): Narduzzi (46) has done a terrific job as the defensive coordinator at Michigan State. He is originally from New Haven, CT. Narduzzi once coached at Rhode Island from 1993-1999.

There is a rumor circulating that Gary Pinkel is stepping down. I don't believe that is happening.

not surprising if true - he will never be successful in our league

Butch Jones as well MT @BTNTomDienhart: Don't be shocked if Texas A&M assistant Brian Polian--son of Bill--emerges as a #Purdue candidate

Butch Jones is being mentioned for basically every available job

Most of thoese names sound like great hires for Purdue. I especially like Jones, Doeren, Taggart, Helfrich, and Dykes for that job.

I went back and forth on which job was better (Cal or Colorado), and while Colorado has much better tradition and a higher ceiling to be an excellent program, they have showed no commitment to their football program over the last 15 years or so. Cal just built brand new facilities and fired their longtime coach which is an obvious sign of commitment to winning.....Soooo, I decided to put Cal ahead of Colorado..... do yall agree?

I would put Cal ahead of Colorado. Colorado is a mess right now.

I can see where you would, but lets be real here. Who in the hell is Kentucky gonna get? Bear Bryant said it best. "Rupp got a Cadillac at the end of the year, and I got a watch."

No one wants to go there. They're lucky to have new cleats every year.

That story is a myth. Didn't happen.
