Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

I wasn't following USC at that time, so I can't comment on this, but Kiffin is getting paid $1.4M by Satan, who regardless of being the recipient of my eternal hate, I respect for his results at 'Bama. Bama's offense is different now from what it was during the pre-Kiffin era. Kiffin was hired just to change the offense, to "go faster" when Satan's move to slow down the game to suit his defense was rebuffed by the NCAA.

I am not arguing that you fall in love with Kiffin. Not even that he will have the success at LSU that he had at Bama or USC, but maybe a little slack?

i get why people would like the guy. he is well respected for his X's and O's.
my issue with him is that we've now seen him in 3 places without a dominant controlling head coach keeping him in check. those results weren't very pretty.

So if Schiano leaves; Luke and Coombs go to UC... Charlie Strong for the defense? Who is the splash DC hire we make? I've heard (by "I've heard" I strictly mean "I wish" and nobody actually said it) that Schiano and Fickell are fighting for who takes Beck as OC.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Each offseason here at Ohio State begins with a symbolic gesture: Urban Meyerwill hand the keys to the program to Mickey Marotti, the program’s assistant athletics director of sports performance, and tell the Buckeyes to get to work.

Months later, in the days leading into the fall camp, the process will be reversed. Here’s your team, Marotti will tell Meyer ...

Didn't see any recent threads about this, so I thought I'd put it here.

2016 NCAAF ASSISTANT COACHES SALARIES
http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/football/assistant

9 of the top 13 from the SEC. The BigTen doesn't check in until 17 & 18 (Michigan). Gotta go all the way to 27 before you find OSU and Fickell at $750,000+

OSU comes in 7th in Total Assistant Pay at 4.58 mil

How in the shit does Beck make more than Coombs, Alford, Schiano, and Johnson?
