2021 Coaching Carousel picking up riders…

[SubbaBub]

I can think of a half dozen B12 schools and a handful of SEC schools that will take him right now. No one else need apply as he is a geographic anomaly. I don't even think any FL school should bother. Maybe he'd go to Missouri, but TX, LA, MS, GA is his area. Tennessee might want to kick the tires though.

I like HC's coach. Heck, even Yales's.

Please stop with the Holy Cross or Yale talk. There's a greater likelihood that a "never before' HC with a vision and a plan--and a team of assistants already in place will be here than any current HC at an FCS school.

I would expect Cheney to at least get an interview. Is Mangini off the market?

I wouldn't want Magini. He's an ornery type with no history if recruiting. We need a guy who is going to energize the fan base with his results and maybe when he takes the podium as well. Mangini can be a bit of rooster.

 

[Chin Diesel]

There are some tasty names right there.

Kiffin would be huge but I wouldn't do it.

I don't see Franklin going from Happy Valley to Death Valley.

Stoops I could see.

 

[noeynox]

This is stunning but Orgeron has always seemed overrated to me. But he did win a national Chip with Joe Burrow and that stacked team. I just feel like his tough guy act runs stale quick.

The Athletic pitching Jimbo as well…




->Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher has been linked to the LSU job many times, including back when he was the Florida State head coach, because he worked at LSU from 2000 to ’06. Current LSU athletic director Scott Woodward hired Fisher away from Tallahassee to College Station with a massive 10-year, $75 million contract. That has since been extended through 2031 and Fisher’s salary has risen to $9 million. Could or would LSU be willing to pay even more than that? Well, it helps that Fisher has no buyout owed if he leaves. <-

I may be in the minority in this thinking, but with Cincy set to join the Big XII I don’t see USC as a major step up. PAC-12 is not that much better and I get it’s a school with history, but he’s got perennial top 10 teams where he is currently, why leave to start over elsewhere?

USC is just not a place to go these days. Pete Carrol had the rare, flakey perspective that fit into that peculiar culture and was able to motivate the players and fanbase. Fickle is a straight down the middle guy with a great opportunity in front of him with $$ to follow.

I don't know if I would rule out any coach from FCS....but I wasn't impressed with the HC or the Yale coach. Especially the Yale coach. Lots of questionable decisions yesterday.

 

[ktuck911]

Just wonder.... what's UConn's most recent list of potential HC???

I am looking forward to the list of possible names/interview candidates.

So you are saying that UConn is opting for on the job training?

With this much time to evaluate, I do like the idea of making the HC candidates specify whom they would bring in for staff, if that is possible.

Is there any chance Fickell stays at Cincy? I would think that Cincy would cough up some serious money to keep him and he’s very happy there.

 

[Stinger92860]

It’s only a matter of time before Jason Garrett becomes available. Gentlemen goes into the portal too.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I think Dave Aranda will have first right of refusal.

If they win out they'll make the CFP this year and going to the B12 will give them opportunities going forward.

I wouldn't be shocked if he stayed provided they pay him

 

[bobbyinaz]

I have a hunch somebody is bringing Stoops out of retirement. Don't know if it's LSU or USC but I think he ends up at one of those gigs

He's going P5. He'd be crazy not to

 

[noeynox]

He's going P5. He'd be crazy not to

And he's taking Cincy with him. Big12!

 

[WestHartHusk]

And he's taking Cincy with him. Big12!

Say it with me: the Big 12 is no longer a power football conference.

 

[huskymedic]

Printing money…

 

[Vowelguy]

As it turned out Miles deserved to be fired for off the field behavior.
And Chizik's only skill was knowing how to back up a bank trunk at Cam Newton's house.

Stop. Please stop.

Unfortunately for Lsu most of the guys they would like to have already make a great deal of money, and live in much nicer places than Baton Rouge. Who would want to work for that organization which fires a guy less than 2 years after he won a national championship and they gave him a ton of money? We're not talking about guys here who have limited earning potential or money.

 

[noeynox]

Say it with me: the Big 12 is no longer a power football conference.

Yeah, but until they are out of the contract language that says they're no longer P5, they're P5. Big East was BCS until that contract ended and the P5 was created.

 

[Yup!]

Say it with me: the Big 12 is no longer a power football conference.

Says who? you? Yes they lose Texas and Oklahoma, but they’re still better than any G5 conference. Big 12 will still be respected.

I think he would rather go with experience , then a assistant..
