David Franklin is reporting that Joel Nachals has been fired from Virginia Tech. From Twitter -

Joel Nachlas has been fired from @HokieLax ... Nachlas was the longest tenured coach in the #SELC

2 big names out in SELC-land, it will be interesting to see where both teams go from here.

USC and Zona also have openings, I wonder what else the coaching carousel is going to bring throughout the league over the summer.

it is pretty shocking considering how much Joel and BIll battled for SELC titles for a long stretch until this year

Only one small thing.. Buff is the longest tenured coach in the SELC. Remember, VT joined the SELC in the early 2000's. So he was only an SELC coach for 12 years or so. Just want to credit to go to Buff.

I think he has coached in the SELC for like 20 years.

How about the longest tenure at one school. Buff had to switch from UT to Clemson and might have had a gap year in there.

Still pretty dang impressive stints by both gentlemen.

[KenLovic]

buff went to Wake Forest in between Clemson and UT

How long has that guy Ken Lovic been at GT? 16 years? That's gotta be up there. Do you count his half-retirement as breaking the tenure though?
