An interesting point I thought of last night: Has any team ever fired a national championship winning coach and went on to win a national championship with the coach they hired to replace him?



Ohio State
fired Tressel and hired Urban

I thought about Ohio State, but they are not exactly the same situation.

Tressell officially resigned, though he would have been fired.

He resigned in May of 2011, and Luke Fickell coached the team for a year before the team hired Meyer.

I will give partial credit, but it's not the same situation as Orgeron, who was the interim coach as well.

Cheers.

So tOSU is in the same boat as us, potentially 3 national championship coaches in a row if they can win one.

edit: nope, scratch that I forgot Mark Texiera was their coach for a season before urbs.
