Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

[NFBuck]

doesn't matter where chip goes he's going be gone in 5 years or so anyways.... Everyone runs up tempo and the such now and it's not nearly as effective as it once was.

combine that with the typical [Mark May]ty defenses that'll be fielded under chip and you have a not so good cocktail of football.

Unless you're in the Pac 12 where that's still basically the standard. I think he'd be a pretty good fit at UCLA. His style will make them more attractive to recruits, he won't have a fanbase with outsized expectations, a very winnable conference, solid recruiting base in an attractive locale.

Will be achieve the same success he did at Oregon? Doubtful, but I think he can make them a pretty strong program. Like I said the other day, win 9-10 games a year there, put up a.500 record against USC and he's probably golden. Go someplace in the SEC, if you're not in the NC hunt by year three, people are already calling for your head.

I'm guessing that there be at least one "out of the blue" hire like Bielema to Arkansas.

There's a lot of pretty good openings this year, moreso than usual...

Florida
Tennessee
UCLA
Aggy
Arkansas (presumably)
Arizona State (possibly)
Mississippi
Nebraska

...and not a lot of coaches to go around. That would seem to make it likely that there'll be a surprise or two.

Who are the "hot" names?

Kelly
Frost
Venables
Pruitt
Campbell
Norvell

Plus, I don't think either Sumlin or Bert will be out of work long.

The name that keeps popping up that surprised me is Jimbo Fisher. If he goes elsewhere, then you also have FSU in the mix.

Leach? Brohm? Whittingham?

Leach? Brohm? Whittingham?

Whittingham seems.to come up every year and never budges. Brohm, maybe. I don't think Leach is as popular among ADs as he is fans. He seems perfect for a program like Wazzou...but who knows.

 

[MaxBuck]

Mullen to Tennessee

Kelly to UCLA

Leach to Arkansas

Brohm to A&M

Frost to Nebraska

Campbell to Florida

 

[Thump]

The best will be Arkansas fans throwing out candidates like Saban, Meyer, and Swinney.

so......
Ole Piss
Arkansas
Florida
Tennessee
A&M (reportedly)

that means we only beat one fucking conference team that wasn’t so shitty they fired their coach.

and people think this Ogre did great this year

What's even worse is that half of those teams fired their coach BECAUSE they lost to the ogre.

[LostLassie]

BTN reporting the AD is meeting with assistant coaches in Nebraska.

Exchanging Secret Santa gift lists?

 

[Dryden]

Chip Kelly to UCLA confirmed.

 

[Dryden]

Riley terminated at Nebraska also confirmed.

 

[bigdog3300]

Chip Kelly to UCLA confirmed.

USC better enjoy their run right now because UCLA is going to be a major force soon. Chip in Cali? Man did they get lucky he wanted to be on the west coast again.....grand slam hire.
