Solid chance Aranda is out at Baylor. He was on the bubble last year so another bad year probably gets him canned. Auburn is an interesting one. I thought Freeze would do well there but hasn't happened. Stanford currently has an "interim" head coach Frank Reich so I assume they look for a permanent one. He isn't exactly crushing it anyway. On the other side - Fran Brown is going to be a popular name. He claimed he was at Syracuse for life when hired but we'll see... Lastly - can Sark hire Pittman as an analyst to help with the OL? Please? I was not a believer in Freeze. The dude was a classic dirtbag SEC idiot who cheated his ass off and still managed to lose stupid games every year, except for one great season at Liberty. Never put teams that were amazingly coached on the field. Without dropping bags and prostitutes he has no competitive edge. The platonic ideal of a failed Auburn corch TBH.

Solid list. Cignetti and Fran Brown will get a lot of calls. Elko might too but he'll get a Jimbo-ish contract to stay. Fisch is in a good spot so I don't see him leaving.

Eh, look at GaTech, Vandy, Indiana, and Illinois all being good. Duke has pretty excellent NIL money, too. Depends on the midmajor. Feels like Northwestern could really prosper once the new stadium is done with their alumni base.
September 28Sep 28 Is Arkansas even an attractive position anymore? Feel like they’ve made their decision that football is third. I wonder if Matt Campbell would take that job.

September 28Sep 28 Franklin is not going to get fired. He doesn’t lose enough. Now, maybe next year if he loses a lot of games like that covid year, I think. That could be their excuse. Maybe Riley will get canned but idk, isn’t his buyout big? And Clemson? They should. Auburn should, freeze ain’t it but I also feel like he’s barely been there. I bet they let him stay this year, kinda like Napier last year, knowing good and well they will have to fire him next year.

Rumors are Riley’s buyout is approaching 9 figures, plus he has perks like housing, vehicles, and private plane hours. USC could definitely swing it, but they won’t until they have an upgrade in place. I hate to disappoint Greenspoint, but I think most programs are closer to LSU than USC. They simply can’t afford massive buyouts with House looming. I think most will handle it like piggy. Wait until the buyout becomes manageable and pull the trigger. I think the coaching market is due for a reset. Sexton has leverage on the big boys because they’ll pay whatever it costs to be good at football. But the bottom half of P4 is going to stop giving out contracts with ridiculously high buyouts.

That's basically it and Arkansas isn't serious about football in regards to NIL. Their money goes to basketball and baseball and for some reason, their fans still see themselves as a "football school." Unless they step up their NIL game, that's a complete dead end job. Brutal schedules, no instate talent, hit or miss fan base, etc.

The proven formula: identify diamonds in the rough, build a culture, make waves with a few upper-classmen heavy teams that bought into your system— is over. Underrecruited breakout players are not staying around after their breakout year at OSU to get a great senior year in the system. Hotshots are better off staying as well paid coordinators and then parachuting into a great job where they hit the ground running with the roster, NIL, and portal.
September 28Sep 28 Popular Post Kentucky will be 0-8 in the conference and that should get Mark Stoops fired but he has a huge buyout so Kentucky might give up trying to field a competitive football team. When Texas plays Kentucky our quarterback will have more turnovers than completions. Drinking is popular in Kentucky because of the football program.

September 28Sep 28 I likely don't have a full grasp of the new coaching world that is developing, but surely one can still become a millionaire by becoming a head coach just about anywhere. Plus, the title of head coach is what the majority of football coaches are aiming for. I think it was another thread where someone brought up parity. I'm thinking that since the top schools don't have the money to buy up all the talent, it becomes possible for the non-elite hoi poloi to pay for a few difference makers for themselves. That could lead to winning records against your peers and the occasional upset of an elite team. Or so it seems to me.
September 28Sep 28 Petrino at Arky. L O fucking L. So who’s the best HC candidate out there? If you were looking, who would you take if you had first pick?
September 28Sep 28 Arky should throw some coin at Traylor. He’s accomplished what he can at UTSA, has a great rep in Texas, and at 57 he’s got really one shot in him to move to P5. He’d be a good choice to right the ship, maybe groom a successor.

SMU is in a bit of a down/reset year (we'll see what happens in conference I guess) but I still really like Lashlee and he's just 42. If I'm a P4 with money and history I'm giving him a look. I think what's maybe trickier to figure out is how many jobs are actually better than SMU? Someone started some dumb rumor about him going to UCLA and my instant reaction was that that's not even a lateral move at this point. 17 minutes ago, 4th&Five said: With their schedule I wouldn’t count them out of the playoff.
