New York Jets: Manish Meta tweets to “keep an eye” on Baylor’s Matt Rhule as the Jets look to fill their head coaching opening. Rhule has spent the past two seasons in Waco (1-11 in year one and 7-6 this past season), and prior to that was the head coach and Temple for four years (28-23 overall including 10-win seasons in 2015 and 2016). Prior to that, he spent a year on staff as the assistant offensive line coach for the NY Giants, and was a part of the Temple staff as an assistant or coordinator from 2006-11.

New York Jets: The Jets are “interested” in Baylor’s Matt Rhule, tweets ESPN’s Dan Graziano. The club will be in Texas this weekend to interview Cowboys assistant Kris Richard on Sunday.

Odd that the Temple rumors pretty much disappeared for their coaching search #2.

 

Havent even seen a preliminary list of aby rumors regarding interviews.

Schiano was thought to have one foot out of the door for the Temple job and now they’re slow playing it.  Interesting.

Interesting that Schiano may not stay on at Ohio State, and they allow Grinch to leave.

Guess Grinch did not impress Day/Urban??

He didn't impress me.

That was before the Diaz hire. I don't know what's going on. Maybe another school has gotten involved in the mean time. 

Temple is unwise to go slow now. The sooner they get their next guy signed up, the sooner they are eligible to charge another buyout.

Day keeping Schiano is almost like Riley keeping Stoops.

Well, both Day and Riley are OCs who were promoted to the top spot when the head coach retired, and both Schiano and Stoops are DCs who were already on the staff at the time. In that respect, they'd be exactly the same.

Would be surprised if Scott goes to Miami..... Better gigs than that for a guy with his pedigree.

Lots of theatrics and misdirection in all of these frenzy hires that fulfill multiple agendas, not just from the schools but the alleged “candidates under consideration “. Some are pay raise shakedowns, others are schills to get foot draggers  to sign. Entertaining but not always/often accurate IMO.

Crazy that 20% of college football is replacing their HC this year

In coaching there's a mandate to win and it's a zero-sum game: for every winner there's a loser. Winner's laugh and tell jokes; losers . . . well, they hit the breadlines.

Schiano is a much better coach

Based on what standard?

 

Do you think an NFL team, much less Urban Meyer, would have ever hire Mike Stoops as even a coordinator?   He’s a fool.

Mike Stoop has gone from a somewhat respected defensive coach circa mid 2000's to a complete caricature of himself.  By any statistical measure, his defenses are horrible in both talent and scheme.  Meanwhile, there he is on the sidelines yelling and screaming at players.

All true.  But he ate Greg Davis’s lunch.

you're..

My kid goes to Troy and they are heartbroken over losing Neal Brown.

They knew he wouldn’t stay forever but they love him and what he’s done down there has been amazing.

And he did it the right way. He not only stayed to tell the team, he went to their basketball game last night and spoke to the students and fans to thank them and tell them goodbye and that he owes everything to the university.

He’s a class dude. Whoever they hire has mighty big shoes to fill.

WVU got a great coach.

So do you think OU got a less than optimal hire..? Folks on dirt are already complaining that Grinch is starting out paid "too much"...

I'm sure Browns wife is excited about the extra 2.5M a year, until she realizes Pittsburgh is probably the closest city she can spend it.

So Holgorson just left Wickline out to dry

I hope Wickline is gone. That might mean his son (Kelby Wickline) is gone too. Think he's being projected to be WV's starting LT next year.

Hmm...

 

I don't really have an issue with this. If he signed a contract with USC, well, contracts are contracts and they are binding.

I mean, Kingsbury kind of has to quit USC at this point, right?

He’s been there less than a month and I can’t imagine starting off with all this nonsense bodes well for his relationship with Helton and the AD there.

No way they can just let bygones be bygones after all this.

That's just fucked up by USC.  It would be understandable if he was being interviewed for NFL OC jobs, but these are head coaching job interviews. It's industry standard to allow employees to interview for promotions.

My thought is I (would have assumed) the ability to be named USC head coach mid season as attractive vs a handful of NFL spots, that's all...

As a general rule, in the long run, you and your organization will fare better if you work for the good of those under you. More and higher quality people will want to work for you and will work harder. Inmates are not known for their exceptional performance on behalf of wardens, for the most part. The whole “you can’t quit” attitude is not a recipe for building esprit de corps.

After 2 weeks though?  You would be spot on if we were talking a year from  now.  I'm seriously not sure why Kingsbury jumped the gun, there were rumors he'd get a look at the NFL as soon as he was fired, all he had to do was wait out the NFL season.  I'm sure if those had fallen through he could have lived off his tech buyout for year working as one of Sabans analyst, then gotten a college  OC gig.  

KK was running out of hair gel in LBB so he was forced into signing the SoCal gig.

I would think the atmosphere has to be caustic now.

If I were USC, I'd let KK interview for HC jobs but they're well within their rights to hold him.  They made a commitment to him and he signed a contract.  Part of that commitment is USC chose not to hire another OC.  How would everyone fell is the fired KK a moth after hiring him because a better OC came along?  Same difference.

The wife and family thing is the most underrated thing in all of coaching hires.  Sure, they money is nice but the wives don't want to live in some rural outpost.  The husband/coach is at work or traveling all the time.  Meanwhile, she's still in Bumblefuckville.

Well, she’s been living in Troy, Alabama.

She had to drive an hour to get to a freaking Target.

My kid loves going to school there and I’m super happy with our experience so far but the “city” has 19,000 people. Take out the 8,000 students and it’s tiny.

Morgantown has a population of 30,000.

They’re actually moving up lol.

They’ve got a Dick’s and Bed Bath & Beyond and Hobby Lobby and Ann Taylor Loft and Old Navy and Sam’s Club and Talbots and Target TJ Maxx and Ulta!!!

Troy has a Wal-Mart and Publix and multiple Dollar Generals.

She’s going to be in heaven!
