Confirmed: I have just learned that UAB head coach Neil Callaway has been dismissed.
Nothing official from the university yet, but shouldn't be long.

I can't imagine they'll hire anyone worth a shite. Isn't their whole program basically just falling apart?

If they can hire who they want, I think they could get someone good.

Doesn't help when you lose to a zero-win team who's sole highlight is opening a new stadium.

So who does Alabama have in mind to hire for UAB?

Callaway left Georgia in January 2007 to take the UAB head coaching position. He had not been widely linked to any other head coaching jobs, and was considered a sleeper choice by UAB. UAB was rumored to have initially offered the job to Pat Sullivan (then UAB offensive coordinator) and later to Jimbo Fisher, leading many to speculate that the UA Board of Trustees vetoed the contract offers preventing UAB from hiring more sought after coaches and instead appointing Callaway as the new head coach as a ploy to keep the program in a lower status than Alabama’s own.[1]23 However much of this speculation was shot down once Jimbo Fisher accepted the Offensive Coordinator position and became “head coach in waiting” at Florida State ultimately succeeding Bobby Bowden in 2010.

Saw that this morning. Don't know who they can get that's worth a shite. Hoover has a better program than UAB.

Hoover could beat a top 25 Southern Miss team?

Meaning in terms of facilities, etc. I think UAB could be a TCU kind of team with the right backing. If a coach could lock B'ham down... watchout.

Nobody. Alabama won't let them. Bear's kid will continue to hire his buddies.

Maybe Saban will recommend Nutt for the UAB job

UAB is without a doubt the biggest graveyard of coaches around.

I think FAU would have a better chance. New stadium, access to South Florida recruits, and much nicer weather to boot.

UAB can be one of the better conference usa teams if they can get some decent financial backing.

Which is why their fans need to get their buts in the seats and put their money with their mouth is instead of pulling this whole "Free UAB" crap. Seriously...they paid for a plane to fly a "Free UAB" banner Saturday. Why didn't they donate that money to their athletic department?
