Coaching Carousel

[stlnd01]

That seems rather disappointing.

For who? Penn State could do a lot worse and at this point appear they likely will.

 

[irishff1014]

DeBoer isn’t leaving irrespective of the Iron Bowl outcome.

Riley - who cares? I don’t think he’s a winner wherever he’s coaching.

I think Lane is in a no win situation and that’s ironic given the amount of money being tossed around. It’s LSU or stay at Ole Miss IMO. I am betting he bolts for Red Stick because he believes he can win a natty there.

I think there is a chance DeBoer bolts for Penn State.

Other than that I agree with you.

For Penn State. That seems like a failure in the recruiting world.

 

[irishff1014]

Yeah. I suspect Riley would love an easier road than USC. But Florida ain’t that. If Texas Tech were to open, maybe.

Florida doesn’t do the traveling that USC has too. That will help his soft ass.

 

[stlnd01]

Sure. But their other best option was coaching at Holy Cross the year before last.

All things are possible I guess. But Byrne knows this isn’t the year to lose a coach, a couple of coordinators, and your best recruiter. DeBoer only leaves if he wants to… and he just doesn’t strike me as that type of coach. Miss the playoffs this year… the seat gets hot next year for sure. Guess we will see how it all shakes out in the coming weeks.

There were runote of deboer wanting usc if lincoln jumps

 

[Bane]

I should have been more specific. My bad. The LSU board says it’s done

Eh, their boards have been saying that since the day after they fired BK. He could end up there for sure but I take LSU and UF "insiders" with tablespoons of salt from now on after this ordeal.

 

[T Town Tommy]

I think USC, and even Penn St would be easier routes for DeBoer for sure. Still, I just don’t see him jumping off at this point.

 

[Bane]

They just compiling a list of offensive minded coaches who wear visors?

There's a strong contingent of UF fans for which this is not a joke. I get the vibe from some of them they would rather be a 9-3/10-2 type team with a pretty offense than ever win like Kirby Smart at UGA. Being reared on the Fun 'N Gun broke their brains.

 

[Dale]

Where would LR go? He’s clearly scared of competition or any place with high expectations. That leaves out the SEC or Big 10. Some big 12 school? Has Oklahoma State hired anyone?

Because he’ll be fired regardless after 2026

[Dale]

DeBoer would probably bounce in an heartbeat at an open USC vacancy.

 

[notredomer23]

Sumrall and Florida have come to contract terms but nothing is signed yet. Guessing he’s probably waiting to see what Lane does as well and would prefer LSU to Florida

 

[T Town Tommy]

If he’s looking to get back out west and have an easier path then maybe so. If that’s the challenge he is truly looking for then he isn’t what Bama needs.

 

[NDMatt91]

What's interesting is if Lane the WR comes back, USC will likely be better next year. They'd have 2/3 of their starters back. The schedule is tougher, though. ND, at Indiana, and Ohio State/Oregon/Washington at home.

Nick Saban ain’t walking through that door

 

[T Town Tommy]

Nick Saban ain’t walking through that door

True. But if DeBoer walks then I wish him well. I like DeBoer and think he can have success at Bama but if he isn’t up for the challenge then bye.

 

[irishff1014]

I think you need more experience at Florida then Sumrall.

 

[Bane]

Oh don't be so dramatic, look at what happened the last time UF hired a G5 coach from a school in Louisiana...

 

[BleedingGold]

I’d be interested to do a prediction after the season on each coaching change to see what people think: Better/Worse/About the same.

 

[BleedingGold]

I think many teams will be lucky to pick a coach that is about the same. Sort of trading around a lot of grade C+/B- quality to hope fit is better.

 

[RudyVerse]

When does this end? If every other Big Ten college wants to show their coach, either New or existing, how much they value him by making him the next highest paid coach, where does this go? Everyone’s just gonna continually one up the next. The money has to come from somewhere. Same with paying these recruits $10 million. It’s just insane. It going to get to the point where the only people that can go to football games are wealthy people and that’s just not right. I know this doesn’t sound very American, but there has to be caps put in place with serious consequences for backdoor shady breaking. It’s just a flipping sport.

When the ROI for a top coach flatlines. But if you have a top 5 coach you could pay them $30M and it’s better for the program than having a 6-15 coach for $12M a year.

That said, overpaying and missing will cost you big. But MF will not be a miss in the next 10 years. He’s as sure thing as it gets.

Wasn’t there a rumor his wife hates Tuscaloosa? If that’s true a move makes sense but otherwise he should just stay put.

USC is a better job than Alabama

What job is this in reference to?

 

[irishff1014]

I know this is fake. But if you aren’t paying attention it looks real.

googled tyler donohue and it said penn state

That'd be an interesting move for Riley. It's a good job, but he doesn't really feel like the sort who'd play well in the northeast. The expectations are probably higher than USC's at this point. And what about that killer Big Ten travel???

All the PSU people I know (who are admittedly delusional) say DeBoer remains their top target.
