Some new coaching vacancies have opened up across the country, especially in the past few weeks. If your looking to woo Tennessee farm boys or whatever the kind of people are in Washington then we may just have your job posting.
Clemson:
After 10 years of Tommy Bowden's own brand of underachievement the Tigers have moved on. Right now the top candidate appears to be Phillip Fulmer, formerly of Tennessee. There is also talk of Lane Kiffin, the ex-Raiders coach and former USC offensive coordinator.
Tennessee:
The Vols appear to be doing their homework and shopping their program. They have apparently contacted Lovie Smith of the Bears and Jon Gruden of the Buccaneers (although neither is expected to take the job). Butch Davis and David Cutcliffee both have said they are staying at North Carolina and Duke, respectively. Although with coaches who the hell knows (see Saban Nick and Petrino, Bobby). Also Mike Leach, Texas Tech head coach, has been mentioned.
Syracuse:
Just this morning Greg Robinson was fired from the 'Cuse. There is not many details about who will step in next. Wouldn't be surprised if names like Skip Holtz, Randy Edsall, Chris Peterson and Lane Kiffin show up on the radar.
Washington
Another Tyrone Willingham flameout... are you surprised? The names coming up for this job include Gary Pinkel, head coach of Missouri, Dave Christiansen, Missouri offensive coordintaor, Will Muschamp, Texas defensive coordinator, Chris Peterson, Boise State head coach and Seahawks assistant Jim Mora Jr.

Did Tennessee actually think Gruden would leave Tampa to go to the toothless capital of the southeast? My money is on Kiffin and FAIL!
