I hadn't seen anything about this, but it was more having to do with his coaching style and personality day to day with play calling, delegating, etc.
He’s gotten a lot of love for what he could be in CFB. I know Andy Staples said as much but admitted he had no idea if there would be an interest on his part.
To me, this is another example of the logic by which GP got his job.Looks like the Northwestern job is filled. Not much of a surprise.
Northwestern removes tag, names David Braun head coach
Northwestern has promoted interim football coach David Braun to the permanent head-coaching role, the school announced Wednesday.www.espn.com
What about when Michigan is about to get hammered by sanctions?
Yea, but I’m sure must want to see that shoe fall first. Right now you’ve got Michigan, OSU, and ND all recruiting and playing well. Not the time to pick up a job at a school that wants to compete for conference titles…and they’re adding more competition!
MSU is about to bat ~7th in recruting in the Big 10 once Oregon, USC, maybe even UCLA come to town.
I agree, and time will tell, but once he got to this point the sense among local people was he'd get the job. Now he has.
where do you think they currently stand in ACC recruiting?
Not saying he's going to land that job, but if he did that would be quite a pay raise over the last 2 seasons.
247 class rankings (we know you love your 247 rankings) had Duke with the 10 rated ACC class and were one of 5 schools to not sign a 4 star player. They were ranked 8th in ACC in 2022 and are currently ranked 8th for 2024.
If I was an AD right now, this is who I'd be going after. Impressive work at Kansas no less.
Same. Look at everything that happened there after Mangino left prior to Leipold arriving. It's a basketball school where winning at football has proven to be extremely difficult. Mangino won 50 games there and he's one of their most successful football coaches in the history of the school.
I remember when the Texas Longhorns were looking for a new coach around Charlie Strong's hire, there was a lot of buzz that they were going to throw "fuck you" money at Saban. Not sure if Saban just did this to visit a recruit or up his next contract, but the Longhorn fans started tracking a flight out of Tuscaloosa to Austin and they lost their fuckin' minds
Nothing came of it, of course.
If you want to use 2023 and 2024 classes to determine who east first, MSU averages 10th in Big 10 over those two years. Like you said, Duke is 8th.
for the record im not saying he should. just making sure were using same standards for evaluations.
Be even funnier if it was Ken Whisenhunt.
I think that is the realistic list... but the advantage of getting a head start on the competition is to start from the top and see if throwing around millions cant shake someone unexpected loose.
I think Saban was closer to joining Texas than people realize. At the end of the day, didn't he get a significant raise around that time with Bama?I remember when the Texas Longhorns were looking for a new coach around Charlie Strong's hire, there was a lot of buzz that they were going to throw "fuck you" money at Saban. Not sure if Saban just did this to visit a recruit or up his next contract, but the Longhorn fans started tracking a flight out of Tuscaloosa to Austin and they lost their fuckin' minds
