Some coaching hires happened in the last day or so. Michigan has found a new head coach to replace Rich Rod and it's not Les Miles who they tried to hire for a 2nd time. Its Brady Hoke who was recently the head coach for San Diego State. While he is not really a Michigan man per say, he was a coach there from 1995-2002. He has some noteworthy seasons as head coach of other teams including the 2008 Ball State Cardinals who were 12-1 (under his control) and this last season with San Diego State going 9-4. Hopefully Hoke is the guy they are looking for to turn that program around.
As for the NFL, the Carolina Panthers have found a new head coach and his name is Ron Rivera. He was recently the defensive coordinator for the Chargers and has been a coach in the NFL since 1997. He was actually a linebacker for the Bears from 1984-1992 including the 85 Bears that won the Super Bowl. Rivera had tried to get head coaching jobs before but has fallen short. This job with Carolina will be his first one. Hopefully he will make the best of the opportunity and somehow rebuild this struggling franchise. Good luck dude.
More coaches moving from one place to another. The only head coaching vacancies I can see left in the NFL are Cleveland and Oakland that's if Eric Studesville stays on as the Broncos head coach. If not, that's 3 spots to fill. Looks like Gruden and Cowher are staying in the media for another year.
