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.

Biding time for what?

With all the competition for head coaches out there, it is just as well that Randy stays around for one more year.

I was thinking this as well. Then I wondered whether some of these guys who are newly available might be clear upgrades over Randy. I doubt we'd make a move, but it could be a chance to grab a guy who didn't meet expectations at one school, but who could meet our expectations.

1.Mizzou - Money, chance to win, low pressure
2.Arkansas - among the lower pressure SEC jobs
3.USF - FL recruiting, can win, no pressure, door to huge P5 payday
4.OLE Miss - Beat Miss St and you're King
5.FSU - you can't win enough there to satisfy boosters.
6.BC - low expectations, P5 money, dead end job

Whatever...:
7.Colorado State
8.New Mexico
9.UNLV
10. UTSA
11.Old Dominion.[/QUOTE]

FSU is by far the best job on the list. They are in the weak ACC and they should be 1st or 2nd in the ACC Atlantic every year. They have 2 national championships in the past 20 years. If you want to win a national championship, FSU is one of the places you can do it and it is the only place on the list that you can. Yes, expectations are high, but they should be.

At Arkansas, expectations are way too high for a school in the SEC West. Are they a better program than LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M? No, and they play them every year.

Finally, Missouri is a very tough job. Natural recruiting base is Texas, but they almost never play in Texas anymore. SEC East has been weak, but Florida seems to be back and Tennessee seems to be on an upward trajectory. They just fired their coach (an alum!) after 4 seasons after finishing 3rd, 4th, and 4th in the SEC East. You think they should be finishing higher than that on a consistent basis? That is high pressure.

Agreed...what happened to Odom is proof that Mizzou is not a low pressure job. FSU the best job by far. Other than Clemson, ACC is wide open. Great recruiting...soft conference. Much easier than SEC.

In Tallahassee...insider reports are that it looks like Norvell to the Noles.

FSU and Miami need to get on track....it was only after the 2016 season that SI was reporting...

With the best non-conference season, the best bowl season, the top two Heisman finishers and a championship game participant, the ACC is clearly the best conference this year.

With most notably....NY 6 games, Clemson's win over #3 Ohio State and FSU's win over #6 Michigan.

I think Norvell is the sort of young coach that could build up a program.

After rumors of Free Shoes missing out on Stoops, Franklin and Fleck, erecting a stage earlier this week at their Champions Club typically used for coaching announcements and then disassembling it the next day, wonder which coach FSU actually planned to hire and announce?

Clearly, Norvell’s Memphis success makes him a hot young commodity. Must be nice to potentially hire a pretty darn good fall back. In the Sunshine State, will it be enough I f Norvell only matches his Memphis predecessor Fuente’s VT .600ish performance by 2023? Better recruiting territory, similarly minimal admissions obstacles, no excuses ... .600 must nice!

Matt Campbell decided to stay after his contract was extended a couple of days ago and he was given an extra $1 million for staff.
 
John Franklin at Penn State also got a contract extention...as did Fleck.

A good agent floats your name for a vacancy as a method of getting a new contract.

Pittman: Whoa Nellie, that could be interesting for an apparently well-respected OL coach and recruiter. Control the line, recruit well and all, yet potentially a high-risk reach in the SEC West.

Only head coaching experience 25+ years ago with a JC for 1 year and 1 year each with 2 high schools. MANY 1, 2 and 3 year puddle jumps as an OL coach and a few add Asst/Assoc HC titles for a year or 2, but never an OC/DC.
