BYU finished 9-3 with wins against Nebraska and Boise State.
BYU has played in the Las Vegas Bowl five times, most recently in 2009. “You couldn’t ask for anything more out of a head coach. You shouldn’t be anxious about it, you shouldn’t be concerned about it. And you also should know that we’ve had these situations in the past and we always seem to bring the next best good coach in, so you’ll continue to get good coaching and help you develop as a football player”.
Mark Schlabach reported the firing of Richt at Georgia and was among those to break the news.

The Georgia Bulldogs are getting a new Bulldog coach to replace Mark Richt, who got fired this weekend after coaching the team for 15 seasons.

Richt has said that he wants to work hands-on with players, specifically quarterbacks, and Miami is returning quarterback Brad Kaaya next year. I think he really hit it off with him. Eighty-eight percent of the 5,000-plus participants in a Miami Herald poll voted they either liked or loved the hire. London went 27-46 in six year at UVA, including a 4-8 record this season.
