First coaching casualty

The Birmingham (Ala.) News says Bill Gray is out at Samford. Here's a link to a short item the paper posted tonight. More to come tomorrow, I'm sure.

Gray was 27-33 over five and a half years after taking over in midseason 2001 for the fired Pete Hurt. In 2003 he was the OVC's coach of the year after posting a 7-4 record. Gray's Bulldogs were 3-8 this year, 1-7 in OVC play, including a season-ending 55-7 loss to in-state rival Jacksonville State.

Samfordbulldogs.com gets credit for posting this first, about an hour and a half ago.

Who's next?
