BTW just a tad bit of smoke on an interesting move for OU. The hint was that they may go get a big name "out of spite" of what just happened to them.

Clues lead to...Pete Carroll.

Which doesn't make a ton a sense but would be absolutely hilarious.

Yeah I guess but never gonna happen, guy is in his 70s

NFL head coach compensation is as tough to nail down as what ND pays, but there is certainly reason to assume that $10M a year would be an increase for a few really good coaches. Carroll is on the high end, but I am sure there are a few other coaches who are paid a fair bit less than what Riley got from USC.

So as it stands, OU job is still open and Fickell is still at Cincinnati despite ND, LSU, Florida and USC jobs all being open.

What a week.

When asked about the ND job, Fickell said he wouldn't leave until the season is over if offered. With no other rumors flying around I suspect he's not been contacted by anyone else where he might have interest.

OU is the last big domino to fall. Might be a boring December after 48 hours of crazy. Still hoping for Tom Herman at OU,

He's a complete ass to anyone he gets within social distance of. No.

The good news though is, that due to the 'rona, that's at least 6 feet now. Bring him to coach OL, but he has to stay 6 ft away?

He's an insufferable ass. Coached here under Davie from 99-01 and was a Meyer lieutenant at Florida.

He was just fired and is unavailable. I understand the appeal.

There's always more dominoes to fall! Fickell could get poached, or Saban decides to hang it up after his 8th title, or the NFL comes calling for somebody. The carousel...it never ends.

Anthony Poindexter, former UVA player, coach and VA native, I just board hopped and could have support. PSU Co-DC with Pry. So PSU could lose 2 big pieces.

Curious….This can’t be pressure for a lackluster year? They were a different team after loosing their QB.

Sounds like stepping away from football as a whole

See what I mean lol?! UVA open now, not that they're as big a program as OU, but still a P5 team and they were coming off a decent year.

Dakota Twitty would be worth checking on, reporting a Yale offer so that seems to indicate fit.

I only see Fickell leaving for the Ohio state job if it opens, depending what happens in Chicago
