Interesting...Bellard was 45 when he took the A&M job in 1972, so he was probably not washed up at that point. In the spring of 1975 he agreed to move the Arkansas game to December for tv. Since only about 1 game a week was on tv in those days, and the money was really good, he did that. Unfortunately that decision cost him a shot at a NC.
Fran was 52 when he took the A&M job, but was the wrong hire. That by the way occurs in all professions.

i would like to hear some of yinz thoughts on what coaching vacancies are likely to pop up at the end of this season? Off the top of my head I can't think of many big schools, i know there likely will be some just can't think of them. I'd like to know who we will possibly be competing with?
In the SEC all i can think of is Tenn possibly and Old Piss. We won't have to compete with Old piss for a coach, but Tenn maybe. Auburn and Arkansas I think will do well enough to keep their coaches around. All the other big jobs in the conference have coaches that are relatively new, or ones that are established. Florida maybe if they have a terrible year, but mcelwain is still newish. plus he's finished first in the east both seasons he's been there, and won their bowl game last year, so he's probably good.
nationally it seems like Notre Dame might need a new coach if kelly has a bad year, and even the miracle win against the ags won't keep Mora from getting fired by UCLA when he racks up loses with his average, at best, squad....but i still think ags might be more attractive than ucla. But other than them I'm not sure of any big time jobs possibly opening up.
it seems like it will be an easier go of it this year finding a good coach and not having to compete with other big programs.
