    I just read on ESPN.COM that Ty Willingham said that he will step down at the end of the season.

    It will be interesting to see if he ever gets another major head coaching job.

    Leaving early on a 5 yr. contract? He should have coached his full 5 yrs. Apparently that's when his true genius comes out.

    I can't imagine that he will get another job in football to tell you the truth. Unlike some guys who were great coordinators and can go back to that or were great position coaches and can go back to that, Tyrone was RB coach and it was a long time ago. He also has no personality so don't look for him as a studio analyst or a color guy like Bob Davie. But with his buyouts from Notre Dame and Washington he probably won't need a job for awhile. Maybe he should take the Brown opening when it comes up.

    Ted Miller gets it mostly right.
    Willingham never a good fit

    Obviously this is reverse discrimination. That is if the ESPN theory of him leaving ND was correct. Somebody call that windbag Mark May and ask him. My theory? Shitty coaches come in all colors.
