Bingo. Makes absolutely no sense. Get fired then go get your next job.

I have been noticing a lot of these recently fired coaches or guys on the hot seat, like Allen, had their programs in good places in 2019. Then 2020 happened. IU goes 8-5 in 2019, made it through pandemic ball at 6-2, then it all falls off.

I assume in addition to Covid they're dealing with NIL and The Portal now same as everyone else.
If you look at the history of IU FB, every time they get a new coach, he takes a couple of years then has a winning record maybe two in a row and then the bottom falls out. Rinse repeat.

Huh. Could be a good hire. But he’s been out the college game for over a decade. And it’s not a good look to quit on your team that’s chasing a playoff spot.

So apparently little Petey Golding done stepped in it again and Saban is going to send him packing. Looks like my guys will be in the market for a DC and an OC.
If you hate screens and slants, you can have Tommy R!

Just my opinion, but you'd have to be certifiable to leave an NFL job for a college job right now...of any kind.

I don't care for the Ravens but they're a pretty well run franchise with a lot of stability. You're going to leave being Lamar Jackson's OC for Stanford?

Maybe Roman wants to be a head coach. He's interviewed numerous times throughout the last few seasons and has gotten nothing.

That’s why McCullough left the NFL for college isn’t it? He ultimately wants to be a head coach and sees an easier road in college ball. (Thought I read that somewhere anyway).

How much more than nothing is Stanford right now?

This is an incredibly difficult climate right now, especially at a place like Stanford.

Yep, Stanford was never a great job. Now it's not even a good job with portal and NIL. Their best bet is to be a poor man's Wiscy. Get a defensive minded HC, get the best Oline possible, a decent pocket passer, and give it all ya got.

Going from a WR coach to a head coach is insane. I know Dabo exists but you have to think that 9/10 that's a disaster hire.

Whatever gets him away from OSU I guess.

Bingo get him out of Cbus.

Cincy swinging for the fences with a hire they think can help recruit Ohio and some elite talent on the perimeter maybe? would think if hired, he'd keep Coombs as well to help out, maybe as Assistant HC and Cornerbacks or something?
