Coaching Carousel

Fleck to UCLA???

That seems like a horrible fit, at least on the surface. Can’t see much boat rowing going on in SoCal.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

There hasn’t been a lot of rowing in Minnesota lately either.

 

[notredomer23]

At this rate teams are going to start spring practice with an interim HC.

 

[Blazers46]

OSU obviously all-in in not losing to UM ever again. Easier solution would just be to fire Day. If OSU stumbles it’s going to look really bad. Expectations have to be through the roof.

UCLA Coaching Hot Board UPDATED

UCLA embarks on its February football coach coaching search. These are the coaches we've already heard mentioned, or those that make some sense as good fits, or both...

247sports.com

This has David Shaw, Tom Herman, Tony White, Justin Wilcox, Brian Hartline, PJ Fleck, Barry Odom, D'Anton Lynn, Jason Candle, and the obligatory Matt Campbell as names to watch. Pretty standard list for a mid-tier P4 IMO. Justin Wilcox could be an interesting one. Hartline may be a better HC than coordinator and would be great to get him out of OSU.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Fleck is 5-0 in bowl games at Minnesota. He's 50-34 overall.

We're in the upside down now. Anything that is perceived as not being a fit is probably not relevant any longer. It's all too bizarre.

I would be so pissed off as an OSU fan if Kelly coming in resulted in Hartline going out.

Go after Sturdivant

 

[Katzenboyer]

Am I the only one that thinks Chip Kelly is kind of a "meh" hire/candidate at this point, and that I don't think his offense will translate well to Columbus?

 

[notredomer23]

Tommy

 

[zelezo vlk]

Bieniemy is interesting just for the fact that he'd finally get his HC opportunity

 

[Katzenboyer]

I actually think Fleck would do well there.

National championship? No. But he could restore recruiting to Jim Mora levels, at least, and he'd have no pressure to win 10 games every year.

 

[rikkitikki08]

I don’t blame Chip, I’ve certainly had job moves in my life that are easier on myself and less demanding

 

[BoredIrish]

D'Anton Lynn would be awesome.

FUSC.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Bill Rees was at UCLA for a long time and used to keep a Bruins helmet in his home office when he lived in Lake Forest, IL.



Don't ask me how I know...

Fleck's also been coaching in the Big Ten for awhile, which might be a plus on his resume for UCLA right now.
Rees is funny. That would seem like a big jump for him. But I guess he was in the mix for Bama, so...

Grabbing women by the throat and threatening to rape them would go over well there.

You are Tommy Rees aren't you!?!

 

[NDRock]

Really. That kind of silly shit seems like a perfect fit in LA.

 

[notredomer23]

As posted in the Skunkbear thread, but noteworthy in retaining O’Leary that the Chargers hired Steve Clinkscale. His experience is DBs in general so this might not totally shut the door fully on O’Leary yet

 

[NDWarrior]

How about Tommy back to ‘bama as OC now that Grubb is leaving ?

 

[allenm5333]

They want an open and good offense. Rees provides neither

 

[T-Boone]

How about Tommy back to ‘bama as OC now that Grubb is leaving ?

I say now that chip Kelly has signed with OSU (well over a day ago), Bama should sign Chip Kelly to Bama.

 

[greyhammer90]

In all seriousness, seeing all this movement is making me even more pleased with the Denbrock hire. We got a guy who called one of the best offenses in the country last year, and I don't think anyone could call him with a reasonably possible job offer that he would take over what he has.

Tommy to UCLA is picking up major smoke

 

[NDPhilly]

Failing upwards - the Tommy Rees story.

[Wild Bill]

Rumor is Tommy was offered OSU coordinator job before chip and he turned them down. Probably bullshit.

 

[greyhammer90]

I like the idea of Tommy beating USC for us.

UCLA is probably the easiest school for me to root for him at tbh
