  3. TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama fired coach Mike Shula less than a year after the Crimson Tide finished a 10-2 season, according to a newspaper report.

    Shula told his assistant coaches late Sunday night that Alabama athletic director Mal Moore had dismissed him, The Tuscaloosa News reported on its Web site.

    The Crimson Tide went 6-6 this season, finishing the season with three straight losses.

    Shula, a former Alabama quarterback, was winless in four tries against Auburn, his team's biggest rival. The Tigers beat the Crimson Tide 22-15 on Nov. 18, leaving Shula to answer questions about his job security.

    "I haven't even thought about all that stuff," Shula said after the game. He had received a vote of Moore several weeks ago.

    Shula took over the proud but troubled program less than four months before the 2003 season after Mike Price was fired following spring practice for his off-the-field behavior on a night of drinking at a Pensacola, Fla., strip club. Price got the job only after Dennis Franchione bolted for Texas A&M.

    Shula, son of Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula, spent 15 years as an NFL assistant before he took the Alabama job but he had no experience as a head coach or on a college staff.

    He received a new six-year contract in May worth $1.55 million per year. The deal extended his contract two years through early 2012, with a raise of $650,000 plus a $200,000 signing bonus.

    Shula, 41, led Alabama to a 10-2 record and a Cotton Bowl victory in his third season. He has a 26-23 record in four seasons with the Crimson Tide.

    Both North Carolina State and Arizona State fired their football coaches on Sunday.

    The Wolfpack dismissed Chuck Amato a day after he completed his seventh season at his alma mater. The former N.C. State linebacker had a 49-37 record at the school and led the team to five bowl games. But his squads were 25-31 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and never finished higher than fourth.

    Dirk Koetter was out at Arizona State after leading his team to a bowl the last three seasons. Koetter went 40-33 in six seasons at ASU.

    Does Alabama want to talk to Leavitt??

  4. South Florida at No. 10 Louisville

    Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET

    1019.gif   Line:  Louisville -16.5

    Last week, everyone wondered if Louisville was worthy of the No. 3 hole in the BCS batting order. After squandering a lead at Rutgers and losing for the first time, this week's debate is whether the Cardinals can recover in time to win the Big East title or elevate high enough to warrant BCS at-large consideration. They'll have to shake off last Thursday's game quickly because South Florida comes to town streaking and confident one year after pounding the Cards in Tampa. Fueled by a suffocating defense, the Bulls have won four of five to secure a spot in the post-season for the second straight year. A win this week or next week at West Virginia would elevate the program to an entirely new echelon of national respect and notoriety. Do you think Louisville remembers getting blasted 45-14 last year in one of the embarrassing shockers of the first half of the season? A motivated and focused Brohm will seal the victory with a 4th quarter TD pass.

    Prediction: Louisville 38 ... South Florida 17

  5. Keith Jackson says he's done broadcasting games

    April 27, 2006

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Keith Jackson thinks this is the right time for him to retire.

    Jackson, widely regarded as the voice of college football, has decided to stop broadcasting games.

    "I'm finished with play-by-play forever," he told The New York Times, which first reported his retirement.

    Jackson spent some 40 years calling the action in a folksy, down-to-earth manner that made him one of the most popular play-by-play personalities in the business.

    "Keith Jackson is a man of great character and a legendary broadcaster. For decades, his unmistakable style defined college football for millions of fans," George Bodenheimer, the president of ESPN and ABC Sports, said in a statement Thursday. "While we hate to say goodbye, we understand his decision and wish him the very best."

    Jackson also announced he would retire after the 1998 season, but ended up continuing with ABC Sports. He said this time is different.

    "This is the perfect time," Jackson told the newspaper. "I don't want to get back into the pressure cooker of play-by-play and worry about travel. I don't want to die in a stadium parking lot."

    Jackson, 77, began calling college football games with ABC in 1966. He also worked NBA, NFL games and the Olympics, but was always best known for college football.

    An ABC Sports executive said they tried to keep Jackson, but respect his decision.

    **** now we will never get to hear him call our National Championship game.
