Columnist John Bridges is a little shocked how quickly some of the college coaching hires have been done. It took less than 24 hours for Houston Nutt to move from Arkansas to Mississippi.
It took only a single interview with Mike Sherman (who the AD previously didn't even know) for Sherman to take over the Aggies. The best part is that Sherman will be the 3rd highest paid employee of the State of Texas, just behind Mack Brown and the still vacant position of University President at the school he is going to be coaching at.
Bridges suggests that the NCAA goes to a National Firing Day, much like National Signing Day, where coaches can be hired and fired all within 24 hours. Of course, it would be televised on ESPN. At least then we could get rid of the charade that some amount of due diligence has been done on these coaching hires.
Is there a 25-second clock on hiring college coaches? [Statesman]
