Coaching Hot Seat?

[Patman]

Oklahoma is going to become another Nebraska in the SEC. I think long term Texas will too. Opening the door to the SEC into their recruiting grounds won’t end well for either one.
Leopold probably still has some goodwill at Kansas, but that is a really difficult job.

The other one I think is probably feeling some heat is Kelly. LSU isn’t paying him $10 million to lose to a mediocre USC and play in the Reliaquest Bowl.

I don't think that'll be true about Texas. I think they'll get the rough end of officiating but Texas has its own gravitational field

Here is the primary reason UConn has struggled attracting good QBs:

Scoring Offense:
2024: #24, 35.8 pts/game
2023: #121, 19.1 pts/game
2022: #117, 19.4 pts/game
2021: #129, 15.6 pts/game
2019: #120: 18.4 pts/game
2018: #112, 22.2 pts/game
2017: #103, 23.6 pts/hame

Hopefully, 2024's offensive production will change the narrative.

The top HS QBs are going to commit to top programs, but the top programs recruit top QBs every season and many will transfer. That is UConn's opportunity. Getting top QBs who didn't gain the starting QB spot to transfer to UConn. With an attractive offense and NIL, it makes it easier.

2024 ESPN top 300 actually #10 QB on the list is there and sitting.

Good question. Was watching Jeff Sims backup a freshman at Arizona State and wondered why we couldn't land a kid like that. I get CT angle with Pyne, but productive QBs that bounce around to end their careers as backups somewhere seems strange.

Sometimes I wonder if they know they likely won't play beyond college, but will try anyway, so they settle for a nice little payday. They don't go to these situations with plans to be a back up, I think. So my guess is a nice chunk of change of shelled out. Maybe these guys just want the money and don't mind backing up a guy for another year?

Riley can be made to leave of his own hand. Collectives simply cut off NIL funding thereby killing his ability to recruit.

One more loss and Kalen DeBoar will feel flames licking his butt.

He could win the NC and their fans will just say that was the bare minimum.

 

[Brochacho]

This could be their normal season moving forward

Yup, something that's always glossed over in realignment. Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida are all programs that I think their fans expect to have top ten teams yearly. Then you'll have the B-Tier teams like Ole Miss or Auburn making runs now and then. These super conferences can't keep everyone happy. USC is feeling it now too.

Not so sure about that. They hadn’t won a Big 12 title since 2009 until last year.

there's a difference between not winning and not competitive

 

[DoctorWho85]

Brett Venables at Oklahoma to me, has to be feeling the heat.

I think Venebales is safe right now. OK is still a very good team, I just think he needs another year to fully get his full schemes in place

After the Vandy game I saw where Paul Finebaum said he felt the same as he did when Vandy beat a Ray Perkins coached Alabama team. Meaning that it just hammered home the fact that the Bear wasn't around anymore and things were not going to be the same. Now I see him saying that Deboer gets "no credit" for winning the South Carolina game, that it was almost as bad of a finish as Cristobol not kneeling against GT last year, and that Alabama is the most disappointing team in college football this year. If he is any view into how the average Alabama fan thinks, then Deboer is in for one rough ride over there.

That’s what he signed up for. He could have stayed in Washington and been fine with nearly ultimate job security. But with these buy outs who cares about that?

Yeah, the money and the presige that comes with a job like that has to be a powerful lure. To me, this is more about a crazy fan base that may be ready to hang the guy.
