Take this with an enormous grain of salt, but Colin Cowherd apparently said on radio that USC is already shopping for a new head coach.

From the mid-2000's until like, this year, you had a situation where every year, Miami and either UF or FSU was down. Now, Miami and UF are both on the rise and FSU is remaining dominant and I can't see any other Florida football programs making much headway in recruiting or general hype. We've had midmajors ascend though

Saban to Texas a few years ago was one of the more hilarious offseason topics ever. So many people in Austin told me variations of "he's coming for sure, we know people." It was also fun making fake twitter accounts and posting about having just spotted Saban in Austin.

I mean that's probably what he's doing. I doubt Jimbo really moves anywhere else this cycle. He's young enough to jump ship if he wanted to for one more big job, but I don't feel like "second fiddle in the SEC West" is really a step up from King poo poo of the ACC. I hope it's Petrino because it won't be Zook and that breaks my heart

Sab0921 posted:I still have friends that are convinced Saban to Texas was a done deal that was unwound by PC FORCES that wanted a black coach. The version I always hear is that Mack's stalling killed the deal. The Mack stalling thing was real, but I've never seen any credible evidence that there was a deal to be killed. There was a much-publicized meeting scheduled with the Prez/AD to discuss his future and when the day arrived he told them he couldn't make it back to Austin and kept flying around Texas and Florida using up as many in-home visits with our recruits as possible. I think that may have even coincided with that period of a few days when Saban hadn't signed his contract extension at Bama. Doesn't seem plausible to me. I know Mack did a lot for this place and they wanted to do things the right way, but I really doubt they would've let a done deal with Saban fall through purely because they thought it was too disrespectful to fire Mack over the phone.

Not that I'm inclined to trust Steve Patterson on anything, but here's his version of the entire thing:quote:I’ve known Jimmy [Sexton] for 30 years. I told him if he wanted to come here and drink bourbon and eat barbecue and talk about Saban, that’d be fine. But I told him not to come here if he just wanted to get Saban an extension and a raise at Alabama, which I thought was his intention all along. Of course, Jimmy took great affront to that, which is fine. He was just doing his job. But that was the end of the conversation. I never talked to Saban and we never made an offer. e: I guess if you do a little reading between the lines, you could convince yourself that Saban was possibly open to Texas but Steve Patterson killed any chance of it happening by being an rear end in a top hat.

If the season goes the way the game today did, I can't see Strong coaching another season. After a bye week following a poor defensive game, the defense regressed this week leading to a truly bad loss.

"Sources" tell ESPN Charlie is gonna last the year and maybe be backquote:This year's Oklahoma game is critical for Strong, but his future does not depend on the outcome, the source said. If the Longhorns continue to struggle, though, the most likely scenario is that the defensive staff would be sacrificed for Strong to return in 2017, the source said.
