FireCoach.com!

For today's angry football fan, message boards just aren't enough--they have to go and create a website. Let's go around the country and see who's on the hot seat (whether real or imagined by disgruntled fans).

FireDavidCutcliffe.com (Ole Miss): I've posted this one a few times. Interesting how it hasn't been updated since the Rebels beat South Carolina in Columbia...

FireJoePaterno.com (PSU): A case of "what have you done for me lately?" Probably started by some twenty-somethings who will never understand Paterno's impact on Penn State.

FireBowden.com (FSU/Clemson): I'm not sure what's more embarrassing--the fact that this website exists, or the site's "design." At least they're covering all bases with this general URL. No Bowden has too minor a coaching position for this site...

FireLouHoltz.com (South Carolina): A practical joke created by Clemson fans. Had me fooled...

FireJohnBunting.com (UNC-CH): A worthy cause if ever there was one.

FireMackBrown.com (Texas): This is a pretty good site if only for the pictures with the little thought clouds on the left side of the front page. A picture of Jim Mora is captioned: "Holiday Bowl?! You want to talk about the Holiday Bowl?!" Brilliant.

FireRonZook.com (Florida): This site was created before Zook had coached a single game because, well, we're Florida and we should have hired someone famous, dammit!!!

FireKeithGilbertson.com (Washington): There's not much here, but cut them some slack, they're only a few games into Gilbertson's career.

FireWaltHarris.com (Pitt): According to the site's owners, "Pitt should be a college football team in the top 20 every season at least with a chance for a conference title or BCS bowl bid every year." Just a pinch of delusion there. Hate to break it to you, fellas, but the 1970s are long gone.

FireGaryCrowton.com (BYU): Go figure ... these Cougars fans apparently think their success under LaVell Edwards wasn't a fluke. It's gonna be a rough century...
