Coaches Hot Seat '17 CFB

[NDMIA]

With Tennessee, Texas A&M, Florida, Arkansas, Ole Miss, UCLA and Nebraska all maybe being openings for jobs I’d be shocked if Chip Kelly & Les Miles didn’t have jobs next fall. That’s of course if they want a job next fall. I think Chip Kelly goes to UCLA or Florida. UCLA is a really really really good job.

I have never viewed UCLA as a great football job. Good maybe, not great.

UCLA wouldn't be my first or second choice on that list.

Nebraska or Florida if you like to dwell on old times.

Aggies or Tennessee should have a lot of resources at your disposal.

UCLA though?

I'm not sure how Arkansas or Ole Miss think they can get a top tier choice in this environment.

Or Florida if you like working in one of the most talent rich states in the nation and be able to recruit 4 and 5 star kids like 15 minutes from your home stadium...

Florida won 2 national titles in the last 11 years. I would hardly say they are "old times."

Agree on talent. But the program has been broken since Urban left. Some would say before he left.

My guess is they were doing all kinds of shady crap when they had that run and Urban knew it, and didn't want to be forever tarnished by it. Fixing Florida is an uphill battle.

With the right coach it's a very fixable problem. And could be done quickly. McElwain was simply a bad hire.

If they hire Chip Kelly they will be title contenders within 2 seasons.

A source has confirmed that Les Miles is interested in the Oregon State football coach position #gtsports #gobeavs

 

[Wingman Ray]

Florida is the best option IMO and it’s not even close

I dont know about that.

FL you have direct competition with FSU and Miami. Was a lot easier when they were both not so good teams. Plus, everyone in the world is looking to pull kids out of FL

LSU imo all day long. No state school to compete against and the people flat out worship LSU football there like Texas people do Texas. Louisiana has a ton of local talent and the school isnt hard to succeed in academically nor get into.

But you have to win. Lesticles was there for 11 years. That is eternity as a HFC

 

[BGIF]

Ark drops to 4-6. IF they split with MSSt and Mizzou they'll get a 5-7 Bowl Bid.

 

[dwshade]

Bielema has a 12 million dollar buyout in his contract. Sumlin has an 11.5 million dollar buyout. Interesting to see if the schools are willing to pony up that amount of money.

TAMU will write that check in a heartbeat.

Ags will spend it. I'm not sure who Arky thinks they are going to get.

My best guess would be they look right down the road in Memphis. Mike Norvell. Sure Ole Miss is thinking the same thing.

 

[NDMIA]

We are already going after commits from...

FSU
Arkansas
Tennessee

Need to chase some recruits from

Nebraska
UCLA

Chase Williams for CB anyone? Or maybe the fastest guy in the Midwest in Cameron Brown?

Shaping up to be an interesting off season with a truckload of coaches in line for replacement.

 

[dwshade]

Mentioned on NFL Today that Colts may make a run at Harbaugh after this year. Also mentioned that the one job that could lure Gruden back into coaching is the Bucs job. Apparently fans were chanting his name last week at the Bucs game.

You obviously don't read volnation...

 

[ickythump1225]

For one I don't think Gruden is ever going to coach again. If he did, I think he is far more likely to end up back in the NFL. He's a pro coach, not a college coach.

I think if signs are that Luck is good to go next year Harbaugh might be tempted.

 

[dwshade]

LOL, how much property do they claim Gruden has bought? He must own most of Knoxville by now.

 

[ickythump1225]

It's going to be a tough year to look for a coach. Good thing BK turned it around at least enough to buy another year because I wouldn't want to be in the market.

 

[Junkhead]

I am always amused at the coach firings. Half the teams win, half have to lose. Every team wants to win, but it just is impossible to happen. It is whoever wants to throw more money at being a winning team. To be expected but also kind of ridiculous if you look at it.

 

[aaronb]

If you were an up and coming, young, ball coach and had a choice of the likely SEC jobs, what would you take?

Texas A&M? Tennessee? Florida? Ole Miss? Arkansas?

I think I'd go to Aggieland where they spend the money and have a good recruiting base against a state where the competition is hurting.

Florida would be tempting.

Florida all day long. Deep pockets, fertile recruiting ground. It's been done there many times whenever they have good coaches.

Many times?


Spurrier who previously won at doormat, Duke.

Meyer who's won wherever he went in 4 different conferences and 3 US regions.


Then there was ... (crickets)

Agreed. Your only competition for the foreseeable future in the SECe is UGA and Florida has a pretty good track record against them over the past 25 years. At aTm you have play Alabama, Auburn, and LSU every year. I'd take my chances in Gainesville that I could coast on that cupcake SECe schedule and then only have to play Bama in Atlanta.

 

[stlnd01]

The thing is, A&M is always always going to be second fiddle to Texas in that state. So they'll invest in facilities/staff to keep up, but it's forever going to be an uphill battle to recruit the best talent. Plus you've got OU hanging around and the various Texas schools to contend with. And you're in the SEC West.

At Florida, you do have all those other programs to compete with for talent, especially FSU (and perhaps Miami now), but it's a fair fight. The balance of power there has ebbed and flowed between those three schools over the years, and UF has all the resources a coach could ever hope for. Plus it's got SEC cache, with the easier schedule in the east. Agree something has gone sideways in that program over the last decade, but the right coach can clean it up and put them right back into contention, I'd think.

Tennessee is probably third. Ole Miss will have to catch lightning in a bottle. Arkansas should maybe just keep Big Buyout Beilema for another season.

Cache or cachet?

This has been rumored (and spread by me) for at least a year now

LSU too. East Texas is practically Louisiana to a lot of people
