They absolutely need to cut bait with Riley, but it's looking like less and less of a good idea for them to be re-entering the market this offseason. USC, Miami, Virginia Tech and South Carolina are all better jobs so they're fifth in line before we even get to the vacancies come up at the end of the season.

Yeah - I have no idea what Riley's buyout is (it looks like if they fire him after this season it'd be $8.5 mill but I think he might be open to negotiate, if what I saw is accurate) but you have to think they'd consider it after what looks like a 4-8 season.

With Fuente being from Oklahoma, played at Oklahoma, I think they'd have to hope that he wants to return to the plains.

It sure will be - plenty of good young coaches though and established coordinators, shouldn't be too many reaches.

Tom Herman (even after just a year), Justin Fuente, Matt Rhule, Doc Holiday (not young...), Dino Babers, Matt Campbell, PJ Fleck, Scott Satterfield, Willie Fritz......then you go into the usual suspects on coordinators and former coaches like Kirby Smart, Greg Schiano, Chip Kelly, etc. etc.

It's a great time to be reloading. Have to wonder if Nebraska realizes they screwed this up, make a quick call to Fuente and I think he'd take it in a snap but that makes too much sense.

Not to mention Joey Freshwater

I'd be shocked if foster isn't promoted to follow up Beamer. If he's not, though, and they do open a coaching search that's another one like Maryland where the job is very good based on recruiting base alone. I'd say it's better than Maryland due to recent reputation. Would love to see Herman get a chance there.

Its kind of tough, because you kind of want to see him give Houston 2 years out if respect, kind of like urban requests from assistants, but with so many openings at good places, it'd be tough not to. And who knows what's out there next year. Best case for him is strong gets fired next year and he goes to Texas, but you can't bank on that.

Hard to imagine him not getting canned in the near future. He was always going to be on a short leash, and the results have been atrocious.
Really don't want to see Herman at USC or Texas though.
VTech would be a good look - but agree, it's Fosters job to lose. Not thrilled with seeing Herman in same Division either, but I could live with it.

Edit:
Which Big school do you think hires that WMU guy? Seems inevitable...

If Corn was savvy, they'd make a phone call to Andersen right now and organize a trade back to OrSt. Decent coach, decent recruiter, and no pesky admissions to worry about in Lincoln

With Frank Beamer's retirement, Kirk Ferentz and Bob Stoops will become the longest tenured coaches in FBS at 17 years. Bill Snyder's 24 seasons at KSU were interrupted for a 3 year retirement in 06-08.

There's been talk since the summer that the Illinois job was his barring a rough season and so far he looks to be doing his end of it. He's from Illinois, played at Northern Illinois so it makes a lot of sense...young guy with a ton of energy, I think it'd be a good fit but something you'd have to be willing to give 4 years with the expectation that even 7-5 is a very good year for them.

USC is clearly a better job. Miami clearly isn't. The other two are arguable.
