It seems like 20 head coaches were fired today in the world of sports.

First, the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes fired head coach Peter Laviolette. No big deal. He forgot how to set his lines after they won the cup, or so it seemed.
The Hurricanes re-hired former coach Paul Maurice to run the show. Former Whaler, Penguin, and Hurricane Ron Francis was moved behind the bench as Maurice's associate head coach.
Next, the NBA's Toronto Raptors fired head coach Sam Mitchell today after they lost by 39 points to Denver. We're not sure anyone still cares about the NBA, but it is a firing nonetheless.
Finally...

College football coach Tommy Tuberville has been fired by the Auburn Tigers. Whatever. He'll have no trouble finding another gig.

What surprises us the most is that Charlie Weis still has a job at Notre Dame. His team is awful despite having highly rated recruits. If it keeps up, he won't be at ND much longer.
Of course, if the golden domers finally pull the trigger on Weis, he'll always have a job at McDonalds.

Thank you and goodnight.
