There are going to be some HUGE job openings this post season. Right now, the LSU job is open (Les Miles fired). If the reports are correct, Brian Kelly was forced to fire his DC today. That signals that he may be done at the end of the season. Who knows how long Charlie Strong will be at Texas? Even Kevin Sumlin at TAMU may be on the hot seat. The USC coach may be done as well. The hot name coaches will be able to name their price.

It's always great visiting Rock's House over at NDNation. The names thrown around include Herman, Cryst, Dantonio and Stoops. There was one guy who said it was time for the Gruden talk to be true this time.

Lol that ND thinks firing Kelly would be a good thing.

Stoops will likely be available after this season as well. Actually 3 of them will be.

If Stoops is available, there's another blueblood program looking for a coach.

I dont see how he makes it to next season. Any more losses in conference play will not go over well, especially if it's UT.

I don't see who is going to fill these jobs to be honest with you. Not a good year to be looking for a coach. Briles is available and I think Mike Leach might have worn out his welcome at WSU.
 
I think Diaco is already penciled in for the ND job (1) assuming we can keep it respectable vs. BC; and (2) depending on pant choices as the season progresses (critter pants w leprechauns would mean he's already gone).

I don't get the negativity on this board recently. UConn is the best property on the board and is going to get taken - period. The details have to be worked out, and that takes time, but the deal will be done. The only question now is whether it's B12, or whether ACC swoops in late. Looks like it's B12. I can live with that - gives us a shot at B1G in 9 years.

We'll still be in the AAC at this time next year, sorry to say.

I have been trying to avoid posting, but Bob Diaco would have to probably work his way up through another job or two (and have lots of success) before he would get any serious consideration by ND.

Brian Kelly won two national titles at Grand Valley State, won the MAC at Central Michigan and went 34-6 at Cincy. Many ND people thought that his resume when hired by ND was too "small timey".

Kelly could not win over many ND alumni and fans from day one because of that "lack of major college head coaching experience".

Ara Parseghian and Lou Holtz have said over and over that they both needed every bit of major college head coaching experience they had to deal with the media and fan pressures, off-the-field distractions and unique challenges of the ND head coaching job.

Bob Diaco has only been a head coach at one stop and only for three years. He would have no shot at the ND job.

My God Terry, you do know we were being sarcastic, right?

We're paying Diaco $1,500,000 as a management trainee.

I'd take Kelley in heartbeat

@TerryD Who would you see as the realistic candidates? I don't discount much as many thought Jim Harbaugh to Michigan was a pipe dream.

Eh, they may not go over well, but he's still a top notch coach who is one season removed from a playoff season. You can fire him, but who will be his replacement? If you can't anybody worth hiring, than kicking out one of the most successful coaches the school has had seems a bit premature.

Everybody will be after Herman, but who else is there? PJ Fleck at Western Michigan will be somewhere else next year, but I'm not sure if he is ready for a Notre Dame or Oklahoma. Diaco? Same boat as Fleck. Can you get a Paul Cryst to leave Wisconsin? Maybe, maybe not. There are going to be a lot of high profile jobs this year and the money will be flying out of big money boosters bank accounts. Who will fill these positions?

Try $1.8M. That's his salary right now. That's crazy considering he has so many holes as a head coach.

ND - please hire him back as your DC. I am sure some Boneyarders will help him move.

Hell, you got me. I didn't think that Kelly's seat would even be warm this season after winning 12 games in 2012 and 10 last season.
 
Imagine a world where ND pays Diacos 5 mil buyout and we spend that money on Les Miles... a man can dream.

I hear Todd Graham answers his phone....
 
While I don't expect anyone to stop talking about it, it seems to me Diaco is here through the end of the 2017 season at an absolute minimum given the $$ owed. The university isn't in position to replace him financially. And one of my many quibbles about the coaching staff he has assembled is that there is no one in the building right now that could be given the job on the cheap like we had with TJ a few years ago.... I don't think that is by chance.

Do you think ND faithful would accept a coach like Pat Narduzzi?
 
What has Notre Dame even won recently? Seriously they didn't' even win a BCS bowl and that goes all the way back to the 90's.

My post was not funny enough. I thought a reference to critter pants was going to be enough but, in retrospect, that was lazy, corny posting. The confusion is my bad.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if you see Dan Mullen's seat heating up a bit. MSU is one of those schools who has somewhat delusional expectations. The last couple years with Prescott is about as good as that school can do in the SEC West. A downtick or two and I can see them getting antsy with Mullen.

He is a bit of a tool..but he is a northeast guy who has shown under Meyer to be able to be creative offensively. May be a good match with UCOnn down the road.
 
After losing to NDSU, if Iowa starts sliding to the middle of the pack in the B1G, watch UConn alum Kirk Ferentz's seat start to go caliente. I'd take him in a heart beat if he still has the stomach for it. He may just want to retire & get a tv gig like Mack Brown.

They just extended him! He's not going anywhere.
