October 25, 20241 yr Another heavily hot-seated candidate was head coach Dave Aranda, who got a key win against Texas Tech last week. Every game remaining on the schedule is critical and the Bears (3-4 overall, 1-3 Big 12) will likely be favored in most, if not all, of them. While the preference by Baylor brass may not be to move on from him, the Bears do need to take care of business coming down the stretch. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-coaching-carousel-latest-names-for-ecu-southern-miss-and-whether-aranda-is-safe-at-baylor/
October 25, 20241 yr Still can't align Baylor's 2021 season and Aranda's coach of the year performance with everything else he's shown at Baylor. It's just not a good fit and he's not head coach material. He seems much more suited as a DC focusing on just one side of the ball.

November 7, 20241 yr Not surprised. I take it as the coaches they want said "no thanks" or "not now" and there isn't a stomach to pay the big buyout without assurance they would get who they wanted.

They had to get a new president, a new AD, and then they could deal with the coach. Probably a similar situation at Florida.

November 11, 20241 yr Whoops. Quote Former NFL coach Jack Del Rio, the senior adviser to Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell, will resign after he was arrested early Friday and cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated following a crash in Madison, Wisconsin. Del Rio, 61, was arrested shortly after midnight Friday after a vehicle he was driving hit a street sign, broke a fence and came to a rest in a yard, according to a Madison Police incident report. Officers were dispatched to the scene, located west of campus and Camp Randall Stadium, at 12:35 a.m. Witnesses directed the officers to the driver, who was walking away from the area, according to the incident report. No injuries were reported. Del Rio "showed signs of impairment" and admitted to driving the vehicle. He was arrested for first-time OWI and released. "I'm grateful to Coach Fickell and the University of Wisconsin for the opportunity to work with such a talented coaching and support staff and some of the best young football players in the country," Del Rio said in a statement Monday. "I have decided to step away from my position with the team, so they can focus all their attention on the remainder of the season." Wisconsin issued a statement saying they were aware of the incident and "take matters like this very seriously." The former Jaguars and Raiders head coach joined Fickell's staff at Wisconsin in August. Del Rio had previously served as the Commanders' defensive coordinator and had held coordinator roles with Carolina and Denver. "He's going to move forward and he's going to resign and move on," Fickell said Monday. "But it's a tough situation. Decisions that all of us have to be able to take full responsibility for. So that's what Jack will do, and we'll continue to move forward." Del Rio played linebacker with four NFL teams before embarking on a coaching career entirely spent at the pro level until he came to Wisconsin. The Badgers are coming off a bye week heading into Saturday's showdown at home against No. 1 Oregon.
November 11, 20241 yr Bud Elliott-isms from the Cover 3 podcast today. - 1-9 gets you fired every time at Florida State but… they can’t fire Norvell because they just extended him. Whoopsie. - They fired their OC, DC and WR coach today. About $7 million to in dead money. Still cheaper than paying Norvell $63.8 million. - Even when FSU was 13-0 there was concerns about Norvell and staff’s ability to recruit high school recruits/portal reliance. To sum it up, Norvell is pretty easy to work for and doesn’t drive his guys hard. His staff in turn, doesn’t recruit very hard. - He said every recruit they sign is a pure NIL recruitment. They have to overpay especially on defense because their defensive coaches can’t recruit for shit. Kannell stayed silent during most of Bud’s rant. And really hasn’t been overly critical of Florida State. He’s even defended them at times by stating they still get good TV ratings. I’d theorize he wants to be the voice of the Noles or something official with the school, but I’m pretty sure he’s living the good life in Wyoming.
