Franklin would have been entitled to a down year had they not pushed all their chips into the middle this off-season. Shelled out big bucks to get coaches and players to put them over the top and instead regressed.

And I go back to northwestern — nobody thinks they have more talent than PSU. That was just an abject failure in coaching, leading, and preparation. You think Geno or Hurley would allow players to feel sorry for themselves and sleep walk through games?

I find this funny. He is at a college where they will do anything to win a national championship- significant NIL and fan support. Austin is a nice city where UT is king. You would think he would at least want to win 1 National Championship before leaving town.,.,

If someone wants to give me a buttload of $$, I’m willing to listen 😁

He also could be someone who gets bored easily and is always looking for the next thing. Not a great trait in a coach but if folks are willing to pay….

Also we are still in NCAANIL flux with coaches realizing they don’t like the new environment.
 
Openings at major programs, buyouts not an issue, fixation on winning at any cost - an agent might look around and ask what more can I get for my client, esp in a year that will not meet expectations.

I miss college football.

The more success Mora has, the more it shows how little was expected of RE 2.0. Night and day from where we were.

Just shows what a good coach and an admin that wants to win can do.

RE was a good coach when he was at UConn the first time. Problem is the game changed dramatically by 2.0 and he just was out of his league. But expectations were so low after Diaco, that we were happy to have anything lol

Unless Mora is offered one of the college football jobs where winning a national championship is possible.

If the Washington coach goes elsewhere, and they decide to offer Mora. That is the only scenario I would worry about. He is happy here. He has been vocal about the support the program was lacking after year his year 2, and the school and donors stepped up and he is able to compete for players that make a difference.

-> Multiple program sources told The Athletic earlier Sunday, on the heels of LSU’s third loss in four games, that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward wanted Kelly to make staff changes, including firing offensive coordinator Joe Sloan, to try to fix an offense that ranks last in the SEC in rushing yards per game. However, when Kelly and Woodward met Sunday afternoon, things got very tense. After Woodward told the head coach to fire his play caller, Kelly fired back that he wanted to make other staff moves Woodward wasn’t comfortable with. The situation then escalated, with the head coach pushing back hard against his boss. “It went bad fast,” a program source told The Athletic. <-
 
Kelly = toast

How many P4 midseason firings would that be?

  1. UCLA
  2. Arkansas
  3. Florida
  4. OklaSt
  5. PennSt
  6. VaTech
  7. LSU
More than 1/10th of the p4!
Expand ...

Plus Wisconsin is on deck.
maybe FSU, auburn, texas, Kentucky

Can we get through a Sunday without firing?

Kelly sounds like he is daring them to do it.
Expand ...

LSU has no leverage at all. Kelly is certain to get a high level job, and he can work for $1 a year while LSU pays off his $53 million buyout.

Sounds like they are happy to pay it.

Where do these ADs think winning coaches will come from? You can count Urban Meyer, Nick Saban and Ryan Day on less than five fingers. Most of these open coaching opportunities are from schools with North of 50 million dollars annually....so it's really not a funding issue.

IU pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the hat with Cignetti.

And OSU fans wanted Ryan Days head after the loss to Michigan last Nov.

College fans are irrational.

As I’ve been saying, the SEC has created a problem: they have created a pro-type league in terms of competitiveness but the fans are still expecting college-level dominance. They have added teams at the top and simultaneously the teams at the bottom have been improving and raising their own expectations.
 
This is like one of those Med school matching situations:

Lane Kiffin to Florida
Memphis guy to Ole Miss
Brian Kelly to Wisconsin
James Franklin to VaTech
USF guy to Oklahoma St

Clark Lea?
