In the advent of brevity, this is a shortened version of my full blog.

The coaches of the OLD Guard are in jeopardy, so what will become of the storied programs of the SEC, ACC, Big 12, and PAC-10?

I assess the six oldest and most reputable coaches of college football.  The concensus is while some teams have a successor plans in place, some schools of the changing guard are ill prepared for the next generation.

OLD GUARD LEGACY

  • 1. Joe Paterno, Penn State University - Uncertain
  • 2. Bobby Bowden, Florida State University - Secure
  • 3. Steve Spurrier, University of South Carolina - Dim Outlook
  • 4. Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech - Uncertain
  • 5. Mack Brown, University of Texas at Austin - Secure
  • 6. Mike Bellotti, University of Oregon - Uncertain

If Spurrier has another non-producing season he will be wishing he never left FL

Mack Brown is 57 years old. Why do so many believe he will retire soon?

Bobby Bowden has flem balls in his throat older then that.

Mack is only 57? He looks like he's 67...

Mack has that "coach in waiting", and I doubt they would name him that title if Brown were not considering retiring from coaching the football team. He has amassed a fortune, and you know that job must be stressful.

Watch if he wins the Big 12 this year and plays for the NC. I think that may be it.
