You would think Kansas to MSU would be a side step in career trajectory. Sure MSU probably pays more, but they're going to finish behind Wisconsin, Michigan and OSU pretty much every single year.

 

[KryHavok]

But in the MSU role, wouldn’t there be less pressure to win outright given that Michigan and OSU are perennial leaders? A 10 win season (playing the occasional spoiler) would be pretty good, and they achieved that six times from 2010-2017.

I love Mora, but we missed out on Leipold when we had the chance

The Big 10 is going divisionless in 2024 and Michigan State's 1 protected rival is Michigan. In other words, they only play Michigan every year and not Ohio St. and Penn State like they do now. And, they have won during the last 15 years, winning 10 or more games 6 times. And, Michigan State can pay more than Kansas. Besides, Kansas is usually ranked as the worst job in the P5.

How is Kansas worse the BC?

BC has way more history than Kansas

Maybe in football, but as an overall AD Kansas has a much more storied past than BC ever had.

Every job in the BIG is better than any job in the new B12

Not to mention USC, Oregon …

Much better salary — didn’t Tucker make gazillions?
easier to make the CFP as BiG #4 than bxii #2.

Even UCLA and Washington are doing well.

Not a head coach, but looks like we have our first in-season firing. Walt Bell, OC at Indiana. He used to be the Head Coach at UMass.

Indiana fires coordinator after offense stalls again

Indiana fired offensive coordinator Walt Bell on Sunday, a day after the team failed to score more than 17 points for the third time against a major conference opponent.

Really?

Flutie was better than Gale Sayers?

Jimbo Fisher to UConn.

Jimbo Fisher to UConn.

I like it, except for the fact that statutory regulations prevent anyone named Jimbo from advancing north of Carolina/Tennessee.

 

[Vowelguy]

Is TAMU still paying Sumlin?

Didn’t they have a blockbuster recruiting class last year?

[UCFBfan]

Jimbo Fisher to UConn.

He could work for free with that $76 million buyout! Holy crap!! Stuff like that is gross considering what actual things in our world could benefit from $76 million dollars. Yet here we are, prioritizing buying out a college coach with insane money. Sorry I digress. It's insane that they have that cash floating around. CFB is just a different galaxy in Texas

[NowInStorrs]

Getting paid $75 million to not show up to work is truly the dream

 

[ktuck911]

Let the poaching begin.

 

[BRS24]

Ok, so I occasionally watch CFB, but am not an expert on athletic dept budgets, contracts, etc, so here's my question. Fisher will reportedly get $76 million (!!!) if he's terminated. At some point, will schools step in and make the termination conditions in contracts much more realistic?
