I can't leave a list like this unfinished... Dan Enos steps down as a head coach to take an OC job at Arkansas. Last time I heard of that was our former great assistant Garrick McGee stepping down from UAB (who then lost their football program) to go to Louisville as an OC (with a pay raise). I'm assuming Enos is taking a pay raise here too.
The salary for a head coach in the MAC is about $250-$300 thousand. There are coordinators in the SEC making $1 mil. and then throw in the fact the wins and losses do not go on your record, plus the private planes for recruiting the big budgets etc. Probably a great career move

Yea but $200 K to do LESS work and have no wins or losses on your resume? Plus if Arkansas wins big he can get a better Head Coaching job next time around
Catsattack, I'm with you. I'm just saying he's making a couple hundred grand more (which is a lot when you're starting point is 360,000), but I read that you were implying that SEC coordinators are making 1mil so Enos will probably get that. Also leaving Michigan sounds pretty nice this time of year.
I also don't understand why you think it's bad not to have wins and losses on the record. He's 26-36, but seemed to have CMU progressing steadily. If he's up for a head coaching job in the future, he has to live with the record he has now. If he stayed for 2-3 more years (figure that'll be his tenure in Arkansas) and can average 8-4 that 50-48 which is a far more respectable record. At that point, he should be up for the Purdue job when it becomes available. Now if Arkansas is successful (I think they will be because Bielema is a good coach (like the guy or not)) he'll be in line for a job at Houston or directional Florida school?

Pro version
I was listening to a report this morning about a guy who did a study of pro coaching turnover, I was driving so I wasn't able to take any notes. The up shot was that team records were worse after one to three years of a coaching change. He attributed most cases of an improved record in year one as simply returning to the mean average. He sighted that one main issue was coaches were fired with out much thought to their replacement and that frequently an off year lead to a firing and the replacement coach was no more talented.

Part of the reason for these results is that there aren't that many fantastic coaches and you usually need an elite passer.
The other part of the reason is that most of the time organization sucks butt if a new coach is needed. Usually a new coach can't fix bad ownership, bad personnel, and bad culture. Bill Walsh was an exception, but the entire previous regime was swept out when he came aboard.
It will be interesting to see what happens in Denver. Sure seems like the QB is over the hill, many of the big names on defense are on the downside, and the top receiver could leave if he's not franchised. It might turn out that the Broncos org sucks butt, Kubiak ain't a great coach, and Manning is not elite anymore.

Re: Pro version
I really like the hire of Jim Tomsula by the 49ers. Yes it is a risk hiring someone who has never been a NFL coordinator (though he was a succesful head coach in NFL Europe). Just a real fiery guy and motivator. I hope he does well. The only problem I have with him is every time I see him I think of the little guy with the moustache in the old pink panther cartoons.
