Rumors of Chris Peterson to Arkansas. Would be huge.

Peterson has a lifetime job at BSU.

Arkansas was mid tier in the SWC and isn't any better in the SEC. They will have a year now and then but mostly then. They're historically a 59% winner.

Holtz and Hatfield were around 75% winners but they weren't Frank Broyles. Ironically Broyles was a 70% winner. Since Hatfield only Nutt who was run off and Peterino who ran himself over were better than 59%.

Just as in the SWC, ARK has a small recruiting base. They use to take Texas leftovers now they take SEC leftovers.

It's probably a bigger salary than BSU but Peterson will win 80 - 90% of his games at a school with realistic expectations if he doesn't move. If he goes to ARK he'll be gone in 5 years.

But does he want to compete for an NC? Given the new playoff system, Boise State will never get a chance to play for a title.

He may not be able to compete for an NC at Arkansas, either, but he could use it as a stepping stone to a better job.

He could get a better job now, he doesn't need Ark for a stepping stone.

FL RB Tarean Folston had USF, Auburn & Tennessee among favorites. All three have fired their coach. Advantage #NotreDame #Oregon

This would be a great destination for Western Kentucky's Willie Taggart. He is from Florida and recruits well there. After WKU stumbled at the end of the season I thought his chances to move on might fade, but Purdue has supposedly already been in contact with him. USF makes much more sense than PU.


Note: This link is incorrect that Willie guided WKU to 2 bowls, they have been bowl eligible both last year and this year, but were not selected last year and likely to be passed over this season as well.

And Chip Kelly is probably gone at Oregon.

I want to know where Skip ends up. I think he's a good coach.

Skip is a good coach I believe as well. If chip were to go somewhere where would go? He's at a good school with a hell of a sponsor in Nike and a good athletic program.

First time posting here, but have been reading for about a year. Most entertaining and informative ND site out there.

Apologies if this has already been brought up, but has anyone heard that Diaco is interviewing at BC tomorrow?

I hear Tennessee fans now actually think they'll land Chip Kelly... I know, it was hard to type that through the tears and laughter...

If Skip Holtz is a good head coach why has South Florida sucked so bad?

Always thought he should have stayed at East Carolina... I know why you go to Florida, but there is also a reason Peterson is smart not to leave Boise...

We knew it was coming. Hoping he is interviewing just for the exposure, and turns it down quickly. If this has any impact to recruiting, I'm going to $#!+ the bed.

Assistant HC and DC at ND > HC at BC... Looks to be simple to me.

Boston College Football Coaching Search: Notre Dame DC Bob Diaco To Interview - BC Interruption

Says Diaco will interview for BC job in the next few days. Not what I reallly want to hear, but you know he deserves a shot at a Head Coaching job if he desires.

Hopefully he is doing this to gain experience in the interview process. I've known guys to do interviews just to gain that type of experience.

On the off chance he does leave for BC, I will lose a bit of faith in the NCG game.
