I think if every rumor were real Coach Prime would have 40 job interviews lined up at this point.

This one is kind of interesting though because it isn't a P5 gig and seems like natural progression from JSU.

i think hes self aware to know that he needs to get a G5 gig before he can be successful in a SEC/P5. A lot of folks will want him to fail, Auburn or the likes is too big for him right now

State law saving these schools from themselves I suppose.

Apparently, a lot of them need to be saved from themselves. When Saban first signed with Bama in '07 for $4M/year, that made him the highest paid coach in CFB. Today, $4M/year is on the low end of the spectrum, and way too many guys who are unproven at the highest level get a lot more than that in their first big job, or mediocre coaches have one good season and get a big raise and extension. I don't know why you extend a Franklin or hire a Harsin for huge bucks. Auburn extended Malzahn and paid through the nose to get rid of him shortly afterwards. A&M can't afford to keep Jimbo nor fire him. These and so many other schools grossly overpay unproven coaches or coaches who've had limited/one-off success, then pay for that mistake. I'd like to see more lower base salaries with incentive bonuses. If you perform and win, you get paid. If you don't, getting rid of you is not financially disastrous.

Deion isn’t dumb. Reminds me of the Logan Paul always boxing against an old guy in Floyd or wrestlers or whatever he usually does. He’s not gonna pick a fight he will likely lose before he’s ready. He has to deep down know he might get his ass kicked in the SEC. North Texas is just another step forward instead.

Everything has devolved to this since P5 schools started getting drunk w/ TV money.

Nebraska coaching search: What I’m hearing about candidates, Trev Alberts’ efforts

Some of the speculation has legs as we reach the midpoint of November. With two games left, Nebraska is expected to make its hire soon.
theathletic.com theathletic.com

Indications are the Nebraska job is Rhule's if he wants it. He's at the top of their list and he has spoken with Nebraska A.D. Trev Alberts.

Leipold, Aranda, Doeren, Jeff Monken from Army and Bill O'Brien are all still part of a supposed short list.

I'm a little surprised that Luke Fickell's name isnt being mentioned much this year.

He got his extension and raise in February. Not that those are ironclad binding.

I'm guessing the only way he moves is if ND or Ohio State opens up. I don't know what kind of NFL aspirations he may have, if any. Hard to think of any SEC jobs he'd be a fit for other than Kentucky maybe? UC is making the P5 move to the Big 12 as well.

Could see Michigan or Penn State making a run at him too, should either of them open (more likely than ND or OSU in the short term). But yeah he's not an SEC guy, nor likely to bother with the lower half of the B1G. He's got a pretty good thing going.

I don't know how deep the rivalry runs that Michigan would consider Fickell or that Fickell would consider Michigan.

Penn State would be interesting. I think he could transfer a lot of his UC success to that program and maybe win a big game every now and again.

I think Fickell would want that Ohio State gig if offered to him. He was the interim between Senator Sweatervest and Pope Ohio. He was a good soldier in terms of doing that and stayed on as a lieuteant under Pope Ohio, and endured his bullshit during that time. I don't know how Fickell would turn them down if they came asking for him.

Agreed. I just think Day's going to be there for awhile, whereas Franklin is 10 posts up in a pic on a story about Auburn's coaching search. (not that he'd take it but eventually he will take something)

But if/when Day leaves, I'd sure rather OSU come asking for Fickell than for Freeman.

Isn't this like a Win/Win? If OSU opens up, and they go for Freeman, we get Fickell, or if OSU goes w/ Fick, we keep Free?

Ill take either

Day is 43 and has already coached in the NFL, so he has gotten a taste of what that's like. If he can win a National Championship at Ohio State, I think he won't be around much longer than that. Meyer got one in Year 3, then not again. Tressel got one in Year 2, then not again. John Cooper never got one and had mad talent every year.

If Day can take home a title, wouldn't shock me if he bolts out. This is Year 4 for him and he was already in one title game.

This made me laugh. They're 5-6 and likely to finish 5-7. But they're BACK! :rolleyes::ROFLMAO::rolleyes:
