When's the last time a P5 school got its head coach hired away? Was it when Tuberville left Tech? There's always so much talk of "x" power 5 coach being a candidate for a bigger power 5, but it seems like in recent history it practically never happens.

Doesn't Wisconsin lose their head coach like every 4 years to some mediocre Power 5?

Oh yeah I forgot about that, that was weird. And Oregon State lost their coach to Nebraska. That seems to be a common theme, when these moves happen they're weirdly lateral or seemingly a step down. The Wisconsin coaches, Tuberville to Cincy, Fran leaving Bama for A&M.

I guess I forgot Kiffin to USC and Sark to USC too.

Coaches left Wisconsin because they didn't want to put up with Barry Alvarez and a pitifully small assistant salary pool.

OSU Co-DC Fickell is being rumored for the FAU head coach job, there is a relationship with the AD there. If he goes and Schiano finds a HC job, could leave OSU looking for a DC and Urbz may call up his old friend Charlie Strong.

Can't believe it's taken this long for him to get attention, but he's got that weird Addazio quality where he's a great position coach, garbage coordinator, who may turn out to be decent as a HC. He'd recruit pretty well down there, but you really hope he doesn't just pitch the Tresselball they played at OSU during his interim time.

Todd Graham might sort of count too, depending on how you view Pitt and the death of the Big East.

Ok I had to look it up to make sure PItt was actually in the ACC. There are a few good teams in the ACC, but man are there some completely forgettable teams in that conference.

I don't think they were in the ACC yet when he left, but the Big East was still a power conference at least in name at that point.

I give Fickell some leeway as HC because he was dealt a pretty brutal hand given the circumstances. To jump right from coordinator to HC of one of the biggest programs in the country has to be surreal, and on top of that you've got a huge mess surrounding the program with the firing of the long-time previous coach and all the NCAA investigations and restrictions. Going .500 and to the Gator Bowl given the circumstances wasn't ultra impressive but man that could have been a ton worse.

No they were still in the Big East at the time but they accepted an invitation to the ACC effective a couple of years later I believe. Wiki says September of the year Graham was there.

If memory serves, when Bielma left for Arkansas he (or someone close to him) said the assistant salary pool basically doubled to like $2m. A $1m assistant salary pool for a major team in the Big Ten is an absolute joke.

If the Big East counts, then Texas hired Strong away from a power conference school. Or maybe that counts as stealing an ACC coach because his next conference game would've been in the ACC had he stayed put.

Yeah, but he went from a traditional bottom feeder program to a traditional top 10 program. That isn't some awkwardly lateral/downward move like Beliema to Arkansas.

Not P5, but you have to wonder if BYU to Virginia is really an upgrade for Mendenhall.

Charlie Strong left Louisville for Texas right as UL was transitioning to the ACC.

More recently, Gary Andersen left Wisconsin to coach at Oregon State when Mike Riley left for Nebraska. Paul Chryst then left Pitt to take the Wisconsin job.

Kiffin from Tennessee to USC and Sarkisian from Wasington to USC are the two more recent ones I can think of involving departures from "good" P5 programs.

Long story, short: it's not terribly uncommon.

Early indications are that Herman will be transplanting most or all of his position/S&C coaches from Houston to Texas. A little underwhelming, but whatever. Apparently his TE coach from Houston was on the plane to with him when he came to Austin on Saturday and has been around since then, which kinda makes the Brewster rumors seem like BS unless he's picturing one of those guys in a different role. OC and DC are supposedly still up in the air.

If Herman can't get someone like Aranda or maybe Gibson from WVU, his DC at Houston certainly seemed to do well enough against spread offenses. Orlando's coaching Houston in their bowl game, but if he's not named as permanent HC he might be willing to tag along. I have no idea who the OC should be, I kind of imagine they'll be using Herman's playbook regardless but what do I know. Houston OC Major Applewhite is almost certainly not a possibility due to the ongoing Bev Kearney lawsuit. Basically the women's track coach got fired after it came out that she was having sex with an athlete on her team, whose scholarship she controlled and who generally answered directly to her. She is now suing and claiming discrimination, in part because Applewhite got sanctioned but not fired for having sex with a student trainer, who was not his direct subordinate, while he was the OC here.

LSU is keeping Dave Aranda with a new three year contract and is now the associate head coach.

http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_b7d39386-b4cc-11e6-905c-27ef3ac0bcfa.html?sr_source=lift_amplify

quote:

Aranda agreed to a new three-year contract to remain with the Tigers, multiple sources told The Advocate on Monday — a momentous offseason victory for the program’s new full-time coach.

Aranda, the 40-year-old defensive whiz whose group allowed 11 touchdowns in the season's first 10 games, was out recruiting Monday, but he agreed to a new contract that officials drafted Saturday morning.

The contract was expected to include a raise, an extension and a new title of associate head coach. Aranda signed a three-year contract in January, paying him $1.2 million per year, and his group lived up to lofty preseason expectations.

Even with the extension I think he should be pretty high on Oregon's list, assuming he'd be willing/able to find a good OC. They're probably gonna look for someone with HC experience though.
