Week six was not kind to college football coaches. Sure, Charlie Strong got to wear his gold cowboy hat and put off unemployment for the time being, but both Maryland and North Texas finally decided to pull plug on their head coaches, the later after losing by nearly 60 points to an FCS program.
With half of the college season in the books, we may be seeing a few other coaches get axed over the next few weeks. The blind optimism of August is giving way to the grim realities of October, after all.
Let's welcome Randy Edsall and Dan McCarney to the Tim Beckman Unemployment Club
Randy Edsall, Maryland
Record this year:2-4
Record at Maryland: 22-33
Possible replacements: Al Golden, Chip Kelly, Justin Fuente, Matt Rhule, Dino Babers, Frank Reich
The rumors were true and Saturday's 49-21 loss at Ohio State marked the end of the Randy Edsall era at Maryland.
