Coaching Carousel

There have been some more changes in the coaching ranks, two of them involving the University of Cincinnati. First, the Bearcats have hired their new head coach, and they returned to Central Michigan to find him. Butch Jones will be the next head coach of UC after leading the Chippewas to an 11-2 mark this season.

Jeff Quinn, the offensive coordinator of Cincinnati and the interim coach for the Sugar Bowl, has been hired by the University of Buffalo. Quinn had hopes to be the next coach of Cincinnati and there were talks that he would rejoin Brian Kelly at Notre Dame if he did not land the UC job. However, Quinn will take over at Buffalo after Turner Gill left for Kansas. Quinn will stay with the Bearcats to coach them against Florida in the Sugar Bowl.
