Re: NFL 2015 - Week 5

Re: College Football Week 6

Crazy to have three college jobs open up in a four day span in the middle of the season. As a Virginia fan who is hoping to hire a good coach after the season, it's disconcerting to see so many openings already. USC - the good one - will lead to a waterfall of openings. Illinois is already open as w...
