Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

I have an honest question for all of these ADs who’ve fired their coaches mid season, and some who have been quite successful. Who do they think is walking through the door and going to do better immediately? These firings are going to set most of these programs back YEARS, and these decisions were made to appease some millionaire donor who doesn’t know the difference between an X or Z receiver, or even what A Cover 4 defensive scheme is.
Honestly, Day may have one of the best jobs in America with how the team is set up. He easily could’ve been on the chopping block last year, but that is moot now. Idk of another coach in America with a better set up for their future. DeBoer is another loss away from getting shown the door, if Cristobal can’t win the ACC his seat could be scorching and if he sees 2 losses next year he could be gone. Cignetti is the only other coach who has an ice cold seat. But he’s at a basketball school, and he could fall down to a 7 win program and they’d still love him. No one Else has that luxury. Panning having 2 losses a year and he could be canned. The climate that has been created isn’t realistic

AD cans a coach it typically buys the AD at least a couple more years to see if “his guy” works out.

I think my point wasn't made. I mean, let's say they hired someone who wasn't "up to snuff". Someone who doesn't have the resume to actually be a high school janitor, let alone a head coach at Penn State. Tennessee didn't think Schiano was the home run hire they wanted. They manufactured the fact that he was at Penn State as their reason to protest. So, say Penn State hires some tard. The fanbase says, "This guy isn't a home run hire. We need a reason to protest. I know!! Let's link him to the Sandusky scandal!"
I find this idea funny. But the amount that I have just explained it makes it kinda blarktastic.

Gotcha! But I think the Schiano fiasco at Tennessee was mostly about a power struggle between the then current AD and a group of boosters and a former AD, rather than anything really about Schiano. The then current AD eventually ended up getting the boot.

Well, well, well.

What in the fuck do we have going on in college football right now?

Looks like somebody is going to be needing the services of a football genius

Did you finally figure out how to translate your decided schematic advantage into wins? I'm picturing you in the unabomber's shed, tinkering with one of those ancient magnetic football game boards to test your theories.

You should be picturing me showing your mom why they call me “Big Boned” you pencil necked geek.

The game has gone to shit without me. I’m back and ready to eat.

Anyone wonder if some foolish NFL coach would make the flip to the NCAA just for the payout potential for failure;-)

I want to say, yes, seriously. But most NFL coaches want no part of having to kiss the arse of a teenager to get them to play for them. Recruiting is something those guys want no part of, especially with no rules in the NIL age to add to it.
But it is an interesting question for a big name older assistant NFL coach
