Virginia: Athletic director Craig Littlepage has announced that head coach Mike London will return for the 2015 season. London is 5-6 this year, and 23-37 in five seasons.
 
So far:

Florida - Muschamp fired
Buffalo - Jeff Quinn fired
Kansas - Charlie Weis fired
SMU - June Jones quit
Troy - Larry Blakeney retiring

Of those, Buffalo, Kansas and SMU hired interim coaches that are not expected to be retained after the season. BTW. Buffalo's interim coach is Alex Wood was an OC at WF under Jim Caldwell.

Of the Power 5 schools, Michigan is the only school that is certain to fire the current head coach. Coaching changes could occur at VT, Illinois, Indiana, Oregon State, S. Carolina, Iowa State either due to retirements or firings. Also, you never know if the NFL is going to try to steal a big name college coach like when the Eagles hired Chip Kelly (or even a lesser name like when the Bills hired Doug Marrone) two years ago. Next few weeks will be interesting.

Well yeah, we knew that. My all-too-subtle point was that OP started a thread about something that wasn't happening and neglected to mention all the things that did happen. Pilch got it right

UF is inconsequential because we all know that KIFFIN is taking his talents to LANESVILLE.
 
London is ACC Football's version of Peter Gibbons. Doing just enough to not get fired.

UVA has had 3 coaches in thirty years, Welsh, Groh and London. Must be something in the water in Charlottesville.

No way Mile Riley gets fired at Oregon St. Dude's a legend over there.

There's talk about Oregon State firing Reilly? Doesn't that seem kind of rash? I mean I guess it's apparent that they aren't going to reach elite level under him and Oregon looms large, but still..seems like he has done a good job at a historically weak program.

In the 25 years before Reilly, they won more than 3 games 4 times and never more than 4. In his 15 years they won less than 5 twice and have been bowl eligible 9 times.

ETA: Would think Ferentz and Pelini have hotter seats.

Some rumors on Twitter that Chad Morris is headed to SMU.
 
@ChipBrownHD
A high-level #SMU source told me #Clemson OC Chad Morris has agreed to a multi-year contract averaging more than $3 million per year.

That kind of deal for SMU strikes me that they're trying to position themselves for a power conference invite down the road. If Morris can duplicate the success TCU had before they moved up they might pull it off. They have an excellent location if they build a big winner there.

For Clemson, this could really hurt them against South Carolina this weekend. Might cost them a few recruits as well.
