Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

[AuTX Buckeye]

Urban Meyer to ND :)

Has this been the most volatile coaching change cycle ever?

I’d say Luke Fickell.

Brace yourselves, the "Urban Meyer to ND" hot takes are coming...

Makes more sense.

Press conference early in the year had Kelly propping Freeman up as the guy to replace him. Now that doesnt mean the ND athletic department agrees with that but he's set up pretty well to take over. Fickell is a likely candidate for sure so it depends on who's making the decision in the Athletic Department.

I don't remember anything like it and it's still fucking November.

Is that English because it makes no sense?

It makes perfect sense. If he had his same record at LSU as he had at ND the whole time he's been there he'd be fired already.

Yup it’s mass pandemonium out here.

Imagine if the Juggalos and ND are both in the playoffs with Fickell announcing that he intends to become ND's coach and Kelly gone to LSU?

Also, kudos for citing the Bleacher ReporT Twitter account.

I believe Steven Colbert runs that "Bleacher Repor" parody account.

And yet one has refuted the repor, which is now at 1.5k likes

Be interesting to see what other dominoes start falling earlier than they were planning to with all of this insanity...

See that was a complete sentence and understood. Maybe that's right they did fire a guy who won the NC two years ago so who knows

Gerry Faust again?

A person’s first job cannot be ND.

Just because the guy was recommended by the guy leaving town means nothing.

To be fair, the Repor is probably just as accurate as every other outlet is during "Plane Tracking" season.

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing ND going with a first time HC. I'd bet they would go all in on Fickell.
