2016 Coaching Carousel Begins...

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

NC State Dave Doeren back for 5th year.

Beating UNC may have helped a wee bit.

Texas will pay Charlie Strong and his staff a $18 million buyout, (offset by future employment), per report

Steve Berkowitz@ByBerkowitz10 mins ago
In addition to buyouts to Strong & Co., remember Texas also likely to pay buyout a new coach would owe (e.g.,Tom Herman would owe UH $2.5M)

LOL...

This is not etched in stone, but I'm hearing that PJ Fleck will soon be named as Purdue's next football coach.

Lots of chatter about Strong and Cincinnati from a few journalists. Would be a great hire for Cincinnati and horrendous for UConn. We simply can't afford to fall further back from the AAC pack.

All the "tweet rumors" are out of control this year... Dana Holgorsen/Narduzzi to Houston?? C'mon. This is like reading Facebook for news.

This "reporter" should be ashamed of himself for tweeting these obvious red herrings. No one is leaving a P5 school.

The Houston HC job is better than a lot of lower level P5 jobs. Cuse for example. I think it's better than the Purdue opening. They have the recruiting area to be a great stepping stone to a top P5 program for the HC.

But I don't think it's better than WVU.

Possibly, but any guy reporting someone leaving Cal for Houston shows that he's a hack.

I remember reading that Dykes had a contentious relationship with Cal administration. That could explain it.

UH is probably a better job than many mid-lower tier p5s in that it is a lot easier to make the leap to a top tier P5 from UH than it is from some mediocre P5 where its much more difficult to succeed.

This would not explain some of the bogus names on that list, though.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Holgersen is nonsense, ain't happening unless there's some kind of serious rift between him and WVU administration. I know nothing about Dykes so I won't comment but Babers might make the move if he feels UH is a better stepping stone to a top-tier P5 job. But is going 4-8/5-7 at Syracuse anything to get excited about? He had two good seasons at Bowling Green but nothing groundbreaking. Not sure what UH would be seeing there.

... Or playing surrogate for an coach's agent. Leverage (real or perceived) is why salaries have escalated and why you end up w/ $5m buyouts,

 

[Vowelguy]

... Or playing surrogate for an coach's agent.

This guy is a beat writer from the Houston Chronicle. If he's a surrogate for a coach's agent then that confirms he's a hack.

Shocked you don't here more about Kiffin getting another shot somewhere.
I know he bailed on TN and didn't get it done at USC ( don't remember what exactly happened there aside from not winning with recruiting restrictions if memory serves).

Seems to me he must have done more that what we have heard about considering what he is doing at high profile Alabama.

I have this feeling Sarkisian will get another HC job before Kiffin

Kiffin has a great gig. He ain't leaving unless a top team comes knocking.

Houston offensive line coach Derek Warehime will join Tom Herman's staff at Texas

Additionally - Houston defensive line / assistant head coach Oscar Giles, tight ends / fullbacks coach Corby Meekins, cornerbacks coach / special teams coordinator Jason Washington and recruiting director Derek Chang will join Tom Herman at Texas, according to ESPN and 247Sports. The three coaches spent two years at UH, while Chang spent one year and previously worked at the Longhorn Network.

To be expected - the back fill @ Houston will be interesting to watch once they settle on coach.
