Coaching Carousel

[ab2cmiller]

Keep going, BK

I assumed he was mocking MF's response earlier in the season.

 

[Lberry]

Making a prediction now - if UF fires Napier he should be first call as offensive coordinator at ND.

If only we had an OC opening at ND.

Carousel predictions sure to go wrong:

A&M: Urban
Michigan State: Elko
Mississippi State: Jeff Lebby
USC: (Lincoln goes pro): James Franklin
Penn State: Manny Diaz
Duke: Tommy Rees

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Northwestern
Michigan State
Texas A&M
Mississippi State

Boise State
San Diego State

The carousel is moving now.

Interesting names being tossed out for Mississippi State already: Tom Herman and Jamey Chadwell.

Northwestern should seriously consider giving it to the interim.

It's more a reminder of BK's awful attempt at the John McKay quip in his last season.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I suspect this is going to happen. They're a win from bowl eligibility.

 

[PutuporShutup]

That's all Saban should care about, barring objective misconduct.

Yes, but the back and forth those two had were personal. I would be shocked if he wanted to work with him, but who knows. Money and winning talk.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Tom Herman's agent is Trace Armstrong.
Jamey Chadwell's agent is Jimmy Sexton.

So if anyone is going to Stark Vegas, my money is on Chadwell.

Pretty impressive. With Purdue and Illinois left, you'd expect they'd get there. He's a young guy, too. Northwestern may have lucked out.

 

[domerfreak]

Play calling isn't the problem. It's the execution

Its both play calling and execution which comes back to Parker.

 

[ulukinatme]

Brady Hoke will retire at seasons end at San Diego St

In honor of the Hokester, bringing these back

This guy just wants a pancake!

 

[LSWho?]

There was always something charming about Brady Hoke. I wish a good retirement to him!

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

They can probably get him on the cost efficient end and if the players like him that's going to be enough.

I think they beat Purdue but lose to Illinois. Losing both would be ideal.

 

[ThePiombino]

I have zero faith we do anything but run it back next year with Parker unfortunately

There's no way. Right? RIGHT???

Franklin has parlayed his winning seasons at Vandy to where he’s at now. It’s funny that in 2012 he voted Bama, UGA & UF ahead of undefeated ND b/c of how tough he believed the SEC was as a conference but didn’t beat one fellow SEC team w/ a winning record. Credit him for what he did at Vandy but also credit the following SEC coaches who were driving their respective teams into a ditch at the time:

Derek Dooley at UT (5-7; 1-7 SEC)
Gene Chizik at Auburn ((3-9; 0-8 SEC)
Joker Phillips at KY (2-10; 0-8 SEC)
Hugh Freeze at Miss (7-6; 3-5 SEC)

I know…it’s Vandy. I already gave him credit. But he wasn’t exactly doing what Ara Parseghian did at NW. Speaking of NW, they beat Vandy that year by 10 pts before Vandy backed out of future games citing scheduling conflicts.

Success at Vandy came at a cost as he left just as a rape investigation was being concluded.

I hope he stays at PSU for decades.

How dare you mention Franklin in the same post as Ara.

Yeah, he was the Michigan coach I struggled to hate.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I had absolutely zero issues with it.

Fortunately, Shane Morris was there to help resolve my cognitive dissonance.

I assume Arnett at MS State was fired because they had everything but ink dry on the Dan Mullen contract?

That would be uber interesting. He seems like a great fit for that program. I could see his blue collar attitude and ability to scout underrated talent playing very well there. Same as he's doing at Duke but with more resources and cache.

Penn State’s usefulness to me as the only other Big Ten program with the want to compete at Michigan and OSU’s level has greatly diminished with USC/Washington/Oregon coming in next year.

I’d rather not root for Penn State, but I want Michigan and OSU to lose as much as possible, and the entire Big Ten West ain’t gonna help me get there.

Nebraska, but they've just been stalled out for the past 20 or so years. I do think Rhule will get them back to relevancy though.

They'll be relevant like Wisconsin and Sparty and Iowa have been relevant. They can put together a good season with the right breaks, but they'll still get blasted by Ohio State (and now Oregon/Washington) when it matters.

 

[Lberry]

MSU would be a marginal upgrade from Duke. He should wait for Michigan to open up EOY, or ND next year before I just to MSU.

He's 47 (looking 57) and will have to start all over as the 7th best (8th with Nebraska?) Recruting team in the conference. Michigan, PSU, OSU, USC, Oregon, UCLA all ahead of them. His time at Duke will quickly be forgotten if he doesn't get MSU to 9/10 wins consistently.

Elko taking MSU would be dumb IMO, he deserves better and his time is now.

Are they bringing Mullen back??

Until a new steroid type comes around. Like bama’s HGH.
