>> FootballScoop reports that Central Michigan coach Jim McElwain is one of the coaches emerging as a candidate for the Missouri job following the firing of Barry Odom, along with Tulane's Willie Fritz, Louisiana Tech's Skip Holtz, Air Force's Troy Calhoun, Army's Jeff Monken and Charlotte's Will Healy.<<
Gulp!Attention bottom 50 programs...no one wants your career killing job
Conference realignment has made some P5 football and basketball jobs much more difficult. For example, adding Texas A&M to the SEC West means the ceiling for Arkansas and Ole Miss is the 5th or 6th best program in the division. Sure, you can have a good year, but you can not consistently win at those schools. Why would any up and coming G5 coach or P5 coordinator take the Arkansas or Ole Miss jobs unless they have previous ties to the school or state? Look at Ole Miss schedule for next year. These are the teams they play in 5 consecutive weeks: Auburn, @LSU, Alabama, @Vandy, Florida (and then UConn!). And, they play Baylor and @Texas A&M.Attention bottom 50 programs...no one wants your career killing job

Last 5 coaches at Ole Miss lasted: 3, 5, 4, 3 years before being fired. Last 5 coaches at Arkansas lasted: 2, 5, 1, 4 years before being fired.
Does this mean our next hire is coming from pee wee’s
Early in the week, Healy had emerged as an option for the Missouri job, according to multiple sources.
Yup, yet Healy’s one year with UNC Charlotte and overall bio suggests a P5 opportunity may still be a bit premature versus say a Chris Klieman’s longer experience and success with ND State. No doubt, Healy’s cat’s out of the hat and his agents may be earning their potential keep.I was kind of hoping this guy would be under the radar for a few more years. I love the focus on the positive - reinforcing that aspect rather than highlighting the negative. Seems like a terrific culture builder.
I feel it will come from a proven FCS / DII or even possibly a DIII head coach..... someone from the northeast with several years of demonstrated ability to run a program. Someone making a big step up. Someone like what Buffalo did with Lance Leipold. I dont we are willing to pay enough to get any other type of coach....unless we get someone looking for a sunset job who already made their $$ elsewhere.

I took a look at their home game vs Boise last week, they spent a fortune on a new stadium to attract the B12's attention, about 10k at best in a 40k stadium. The odd thing is they were all forced into the same sections at midfield, so there was miles of gleaming aluminum benches displayed everywhere else.Mike Bobo - 28-35
Seems like a six year would not have been a bad idea...Colorado State might just find out you can do worse.

Not true. Here's what the top 3 G5 jobs on the list paid:Five of these schools pays competitive wages. The rest pays with food stamps.
Not true. Here's what the top 3 G5 jobs on the list paid:
USF: $2.7 million. This year, he also got a $2.5 million retention bonus.
Colorado St.: $1.8 million plus bonus potential of $905k
UTSA: $1.2 million plus $185k bonus.
I think UConn initially paid Diaco 1.6 million, which was like 200k less than Clemson was paying Dabo. Then P5 money happened and coaching salaries exploded.Not true. Here's what the top 3 G5 jobs on the list paid:

Urban Meyer probably turned them down.Wanna know why Helton is sticking around? Check out the first half of USC’s 2020 schedule. 2021 is a cakewalk by comparison. Why set the new guy up for failure?
Nah. SC is a top 5 coach job. They can get anyone. They’re throwing Helton back to the wolves and biding time. Their recruiting class is also weak, so he can blamed for that as well. He’s a lame duck patsy any way you slice it.Urban Meyer probably turned them down.
