2021 Coaching Carousel picking up riders…

a priori

Would you look at Joe Moorhead, Kirby Smart, Shane Beamer, Musgrove, Josh Heupel, Sam Pittman or others ... and think one would rise above the others or not?

You are right, That conferences eats the heart out of guys with great resumes and success elsewhere. I think it is the ultimare octagon.

Kirby Smart is the outlier and what everyone hopes they are hiring. Most teams end up with Will Muschamp. I said this before Florida is running the risk of becoming Texas. Paying big buyouts on top of huge salary to their HC because they're too inpatient. I think Mullen like Herman should have gotten another year. Their records seemed to warrant it.
 
USC is the top program in PAC 12, Oklahoma was the top dog in the Big 12, and Oklahoma is about to become a middle of the pack SEC program. No brainer move by Riley.

Wow. Cashout before the upcoming SEC gauntlet I guess. I think its a smart move tbh.

I dunno it's also cashout before your university athletic budget becomes higher than the GDP of most countries. Cuts both ways.
But yes easier to be successful at SC given the current state of the PAC, and to make the CFP.

LSU got rid of O two years after winning the national title. I understand there were other factors there, but those other factors would have remained in the dark if he was winning at the acceptable level. The SEC has unrealistic expectations and Oklahoma was not going to run through that league like they did the Big12.
 
USC can be a Top Program in the Pac12

So could Washington, Oregon, UCLA ... and maybe Utah or Stanford.

There's nothing structural about USC that makes it comparatively beyond the others. I dunno what is going on with Chip Kelly - and I have watched a half dozen games (one in person as a alum). But there is nothing in my mind that automatically gets you back to the Platform that Pete Carroll had. Lincoln Riley has to be special to chin his way beyond, I don't think we have seen the best of Cristobal.

Riley has proven to be a superior offensive coach. I think he will crush it at USC.

You mean other than being located in the 2nd or 3rd best HSFB region and having a long tradition of CFB success and national titles.

That's a whole lotta nothin.

Does Caleb Williams follow Riley to SC?
Or return east to Clemson or Ohio St perhaps

Great coach. Just looks worn out from the grind. He's almost 70.
Expand ...
He was a great fit for them. He was always a good offensive mind, and he rolled out some competitive teams there. He was probably as good as they could have had.

Pipe dream for him to ever come here huh?

Ugh. This was the risk with hiring so early in the process, would much rather have Coach Moorhead.

With that said you can’t blame UCONN for striking early. This program needed to hit ground running with recruiting and hiring Coach Mora when they did will help to that end.

Still bummed though.

I'm good with Mora. All signs are we outkicked our coverage with his hire.

My comment is more for the chatter on here how "Joe Moorhead is not a realistic option for UConn". Proving once again, no one knows anything. At the end of the day, doesn't look like P5 jobs are tripping over themselves to hire him.

Now he is still young and going there and having success could get him another opportunity and i think he is outstanding. I'll be rooting for him.
 
this is true for Mora ... and not hiring Mora

OR. Marrying that pretty flight attendant or waiting for the girl you grew up with

WE should feel confident about Mora and move along. Happy to watch/assist the rebuild something that is important to us. Moorhead would be great; I don't think AKRON is his destination - he has much greater opportunity set given this off-season; and who knows ... he might just hate Connecticut people or Pepys pizza or the Storrs campus or not get along with DB,

I think we can be confident that Dave Benedict (in my experience with highly competent productive people) would contact JM in the 60 days from HCRE exit to Mora hiring. He obviously had that guy on his mind in that term. Mora WAS the pick.

Al Golden on line 1:

Wow. I thought he'd be in line for one of the ACC openings. Well, it's still FBS....and the MAC is no slouch. It's more of a blue collar league. He'll do great here.
