They just extended him! He's not going anywhere.
They extending him with a HUGE buyout. He's there as long as he wants to be.

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.
I can't imagine that ND, LSU, and other top notch P5 programs are going to settle for an up and comer. That is beneath them and maybe Herman will be the exception. I expect many P5 schools will get their coaches poached thus starting the giant domino effect that will cause those P5 schools to take the up and come G5 coaches or coordinators. There's no way I see those big names that may have openings settling for a PJ Fleck or other types of coaches that are having success at smaller G5 schoolsEh, 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?

Go after John HarbaughYup, I agree wholeheartedly. I think someone like Pat Narduzzi at Pitt would be a good fit for a team like ND. Will Lane Kiffen get another shot? (No, but stranger things have happened). Would Paul Cryst leave Wisky? How about the Colorado coach? There are just so few quality coaches that seem willing to move, I have no clue.

Go after John Harbaugh
IMO Kelly could be in trouble this year, if he tanks(5-7 or worse). Crossroads project opening next year they need money flowing in. 450 million adds a different dynamic.
If Oklahoma lets Stoops go, I can see ND making a big push to hire him.

Just need OU to do the right thingIf Oklahoma lets Stoops go, I can see ND making a big push to hire him.

Kelly is "only" under contract through 2021. If form holds, Kelly is due a 10 year extension before being fired
Word from the car wash WF RR guy is that his source says rumor inside the ACC is that the Big 12 will announce the expansion candidates on or before August 29. I said I hope they're right, the suspense is killing me. UCONN is one of the candidates, TV still drives the bus and the expansion will be 4, not 2. He stands by the 4, UCONN, BYU, CINCY and HOUSTON. There you have it, go UCONN !!!!
I'm not losing hope, but it's kind of obvious ESPN and FOX clearly promised them something. We will find a home, that league is clearly run by twiddle dee and twiddle dum...
