What do Brent Key, Shaun Aguano, Mickey Joseph and Jim Leonhard all have in common? They are interim coaches who all won this week.
At Georgia Tech, Key improved to 2–0 since taking over for Geoff Collins with an overtime win over Duke. Aguano led Arizona State to a victory over No. 21 Washington. On Friday night, Joseph’s Nebraska team won a second straight game, this time over Rutgers, and Leonhard, in his first game as interim at Wisconsin, got a 42–7 rout of Northwestern.
In their short interim stints so far, the four coaches are 6–2. Meanwhile, UAB interim coach Bryant Vincent picked up a win over Middle Tennessee to improve to 3–2. Maybe more head coaches should be fired? Well, we all know more will very well be coming.
