The "I don't really care so much the inevitable fanny kicking in Eugene occurred" update....
Open jobs:
Texas Tech- Matt Wells fired in year three. (h/t onealcd) Art Briles? (h/t AlbasterYak)
WSU- Nick Rolovich fired for cause over vaccination status. (h/t BCS) Bringing out some of the best recriminations between the antivaxxers and branch covidians yet.
Ohio- Frank Solich retires at the end of the year after 16 successful years as the Bobcat HC. (h/t Deniro) Health related retirement. Good for him to leave on his own terms.
UCONN- Randy Edsall, formerly a hot prospect, has taken UCONN to depths of despair not previously known. Losses to FCS Holy Cross, and two shutouts against Purdue and Fresno St. sealed his fate. Six wins in his four years as HC of UCONN, 2.0. Ouch. (h/t Deniro) Who is the next person up? Don't know, but Joe Moorhead has been mentioned, I kind of will believe that when I see it.
USC- The big one. (h/t Deniro, also check Jens' USC Fires Clay Helton megathread). Mike Bohn is on the clock. My guess is Fickell, and then Franklin, in that order. UPDATE- Apparently, Mike Tomlin is not interested (h/t AlbasterYak)
Georgia Southern- Chad Lunsford out. (h/t Carolina Buff)
FIU- Butch Davis is a gonna hang it up at the end of the year and retire.
LSU- Ed O out. (h/t Carolina Buff), apparently when Ed O isn't covering up sexual assaults and turning in unsatisfactory W-L records, he is propositioning random women at gas stations, unfortunately, the last lady of the pump was an LSU muckety-muck's wife. (h/t 14er). Who's gonna be? Melvin? Dave Aranda? Jakes Franklin? Joe Brady? Billy Napier? Ed O's buyout is $17M (h/t Creebuzz), about a dollar more than luminaries like HCKD. I would say Ed O will retire and go into broadcasting, but.....
Filled Jobs:
Ohio- Tim Albin gets the job (h/t ahoelsken).
Possibles:
ASU- Herm Edwards has some pretty flagrant stuff hanging over his head, hard to believe it doesn't cost him.
N. Texas- Seth Littrell siting at about .500
UNLV- Arroyo 0-12. (h/t ahoelsken)
kNU- Frosty probably done before the end of the year according to Steve Sipple.
Other news:

Okie Lite- Gundy leverages a perpetual extension (h/t AlbasterYak)
James Franklin- Switches agent to Jimmy Sexton for moving and or pay raise negotiations (h/t nik)
CU OL- Coach Rod fired, now embarking on second career in ebay sales.
