Coaching Changes

Tulane was able to keep its offensive coordinator going forward, as Eric Price signed a 2-yr extension.

Other Coaching Changes:

Art Briles fired at Baylor (now HC at Texas Tech). IRONY...
June Jones fired at SMU despite 9-4 record & BCS berth. WTF?????
then-fired Tommy Tuberville (HC, Texas Tech) now HC at UConn
Mark Richt fired at Georgia (now HC at FIU).
After being fired at FIU, HC Mario Cristobal becomes HC at rival FAU. Haha!
