Well, that didn’t take long: Astros team president Tal Smith and general manager Ed Wade are done.
Also done: Bernie Fine, assistant basketball coach at Syracuse University and accused child molester.
Obit watch: rapper “Money Clip D”. Where do they get these names?
Edited to add: And not 30 seconds after I hit “publish”, Lawrence emailed me noting the death of director Ken Russell.
Edited to add 2: Missed that Ron Zook got fired from Illinois. That’s epic: start the season 6-0, then lose six games in a row.
Turner Gill is also out at Kansas after a 2-10 finish.
The high-water mark came in Gill’s second game, when the Jayhawks stunned then-No. 15 Georgia Tech last season. But that was the only victory over a ranked team, and Kansas would lose 17 of the next 21 with Gill on the sideline, the lone conference win coming against a Colorado program that fired its coach immediately after the defeat.
