JMU head coach Mickey Matthews has been fired, according to multiple reports.

[Sly Fox]

He'll land on his feet quickly with his resume.

[PAmedic]

[Sly Fox]

The fact that he's a Texan?

The fact that he's a Texan?

Another perfect example of Sly's Texas sized ego.

Another perfect example of Sly's Texas sized ego. :I chortle audibly.:

I think their gigantic ego means they're compensating for short-comings...

[Sly Fox]

While you folks are expressing your Texas envy, this has me wondering if having FCS advocate Matthews out of the way actually increases the chances that JMU will now accept an FBS invitation from the MAC, CUSA or Sun Belt.

Who they hire will tell a lot, but I would say having Mickey out of the picture increases the chances of a move.

Can we start the Rocco to JMU rumor?

[Cider Jim]

Or the London to JMU rumor?

[Purple Haize]

Or the London to JMU rumor?

Even better!

Don't forget the Gill to X rumor.

[Purple Haize]

Don't forget the Gill to X rumor.

He's already slated for the UVA job and we will get Mike Shannohan

[VAGolf]

Don't forget the Gill to X rumor.

The XFL is coming back? Uh oh.

He Hate Me could be the new JMU coach!

[jcmanson]

Sounds like Everett Withers is their new head coach. He's currently DC at Ohio State, was interim head coach at UNC. Sounds like a good get for them.

[Sly Fox]

Coach Withers always struck me as a good man during his time in Austin. He was a strong recruiter for Mack back in the days when UT would bring in the #1 class in the nation on an annual basis. The fact that he was able to manage a winning record in that crazy season in Chapel Hill shows that he has potential. Frankly I would have thought he could have done better than JMU coming from DC at Ohio State.

that OSU defense was really the highlight of the team this year.

Yeah, nobody around here is really saddened by this announcement.
