Head Coaching carrousel mania for 2020 begins

[UConnJim]

I'm curious to see what happens when Saban retires. Obviously they most likely will not see the success they have seen with Saban, but they have the resources and history to pretty much hire anyone they want, but how much of a drop of (if any) will we see? Where do they look for a coach? It's crazy the amount of success Bama has seen with Saban.

The first call is to Dabo Swinney. Born and raised in Alabama, Alabama fan from birth, played at Alabama, assistant coach at Alabama, wife is from Alabama and went to Alabama, mother lives in Alabama. And he is only 51. He has a much easier job at Clemson, but you have to let him turn down the job before you pursue anyone else.

Not positive but I think Dabo makes more money then Nick Saban with much less pressure then any coach at Bama would have! Why would he leave??

Saban salary is $9.3 million and Dabo is at $8.3 million. With bonuses, Saban will earn >$10 million for 2020.

Wonder if he's already called Lance Leipold up in Buffalo to chat?

Will be interesting to see how this impacts UCF's thin OOC scheduling going forward. They had been trying to be patient to get H&Hs with major P5 programs. As a result of the slow progress they have one of the more open OOC calendars.

Get them on the schedule more. I'd love to make a trip down to Orlando every couple years.

Home run hire for Tennessee. Look at White's coaching hires:

Buffalo: basketball - Bobby Hurley and Nate Oats. Football - Lance Leipold

UCF: basketball - Johnny Dawkins. Football - Scott Frost and Josh Heupel

FootballScoop is pointing @ Clemson’s Tony Elliott as a likely direction for White to head:

Sources: Tennessee's Danny White targeting 'offensive-minded' coach

The University of Tennessee has its new athletics director in place. That new leader, Danny White, in turn, already has set his sights on an “offensive-minded”

Phew, that eliminates Randy from consideration

Wonder if AD Dave will get an interview at UCF.

He might get an assistant slot.

Wonder if AD Dave will get an interview at UCF.

Why would he do that?

It feels like his next move is P5. Lower level P5.

Part of me is curious to see how he would do with SEC money paying his assistant pool. He's been pretty good at hiring coordinators over the years.

Not so fast we haven’t heard anything from him or his agent yet.

See Maryland 2011 to 2015 for preview.

Pretty sure Dave is sticking around to let his kids graduate high school unless he gets a huge job. He’s well compensated and appreciated at UConn. He’ll be looking at an SEC or maybe a very good ACC job next.

Mike Bianchi: Danny White leaving UCF is more devastating than Scott Frost, McKenzie Milton departures [Orlando Sentinel :: BC-FBC-BIANCHI-COLUMN:OS]

Danny White often told us over the years that being the athletics director at the University of Central Florida was “the best AD job in America.” He made us believe

Good to see our AD not being on that list. He's got unfinished business up here

How Saban reloads his staff is incredible to watch...

Chris Vannini @ChrisVannini 2m
Alabama officially hires former Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone as OL coach.

 

[Adios]

Former NFL head coaches taking position roles on Bama?!?!? Saban is going Brady in the college football coaching world. Do coaches get rings made of gold?

 

[DoctorWho85]

That's a huge get for Saban. The O-line will be top notch by the end of this season. Marrone is a very good coach.

I'll go on a limb and suggest they may have a top notch at the beginning of the season too.

I only say by the end of the season because there's always growing pains with new coaches, but I think Marrone is the kind of coach that is able to adapt to the situation and coach accordingly. I think it'll take a couple OOC games to hit the ground running. By conference play, I bet it'll be very difficult to sack or pressure the QB at Bama.
