>>24632In Dorrell's defense, Toledo wasn't fired for not winning, but for losing control of the program and bringing bad publicity to the university. Also there's no embarassment in losing to Fresno State, since they're one of the better programs around - you could stick them in the Pac10 and they'd do very well thank you. And there's really no shame in being 2nd best recruiter in town when Pete Carroll's the other guy.
That said, most of the rest of your points are pretty good. But who replaces Dorrell? I wonder if Norm Chow is tired of the NFL yet? He may be excited about planning an offense around Vince Young, though. Petrino SAYS he's committed to Louisville, but you never know. Rich Rodriguez would be an exciting choice, too, but they'd have to hurry to beat 'bama to the punch.
