St. John's, Antigua (December 2, 2004)-The firing of Notre Dame head coach Tyrone
Willingham is already sending ripples throughout college football with rumors about
potential successors instantly surfacing. With the most storied football program in
America now in need of a new coach, www.wageronsports.com today announced odds on who
will be named Notre Dame's next head football coach.
The premium sports betting destination online, WagerOnSports.com has created odds on
a number of coaching luminaries taking over the reigns of the Fighting Irish. Like a
number of analysts and reporters, the odds makers at WagerOnSports.com believe Utah
head coach Urban Meyer will succeed Willingham at Notre Dame, listing Meyer as an
overwhelming 1/8 favorite. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz, who has been rumored for
several high-profile jobs in the past, has been listed with the second best odds at
8/1. The names of some NFL coaches are also being mentioned for the Notre Dame job
and WagerOnSports.com has included odds on Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden (10/1) and New
England offensive coordinator Charlie Weis (15/1) taking over for the Irish.
"The head coaching job at Notre Dame is widely considered one of the most
prestigious positions at any level of football," said Michael Perry, odds maker at
WagerOnSports.com. "Urban Meyer is a virtual lock to be offered the Notre Dame
position - he's a former assistant and has an out in his Utah contract if he's
offered the job. Although the odds are on Meyer's side, Ferentz's name always seems
to pop up whenever there's a high profile coaching opening and being a good friend
of athletic director Kevin White could help bring him to South Bend. Gruden was
considered for the job when Willingham was hired and Weis is a Notre Dame graduate
who is known to have interest in the job."
www.wageronsports.com has also calculated odds on several other current collegiate
coaches taking over under the Golden Dome. These include: California's Jeff Tedford
(20/1); LSU's Nick Saban (40/1); Louisville's Bobby Petrino (50/1); and Oklahoma's
Bob Stoops (50/1). Currently unemployed coaches such as Butch Davis (100/1), Ron
Zook (200/1) and Rick Neuheisel (200/1) could also be in the running for the Irish
job. The odds makers at WagerOnSports.com have even calculated the odds on Notre
Dame bringing back former coach Lou Holtz, who stands at 50/1 to reclaim the head
coaching position in South Bend.
