With a month left in the regular season, the bloodletting in the coaching ranks has now officially begun in earnest. If you had money on Mike Locksley of New Mexico in your coaching death pool, today is the day you lose. The guy who allegedly punched an assistant and has not won a game this season as a head coach still stands, while Tommy West of Memphis met his end as the head coach of the Memphis Tigers.
According to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, West was let go Monday morning two days after the Tigers lost 56-28 to Tennessee in Knoxville. West finishes with a record of 49-56 at Memphis, but did take Memphis to five bowl games in his nine years at the school before an injury-plagued season and back-to-back losses on national television doomed him.
