Worst case probably an OC but I could see him getting a mid major head coaching job since he was pretty good at CSU and his on paper resume at Florida isn’t too bad.

Hell we’re probably a short rehab stint somewhere away from him getting like the Missouri job with the way the SEC works

Firing him would be dumb, so I think just wait him out until he dies or quits and then do whatever. If his son had any chance at actually getting the job Bill would have retired by now.

Yeah if Muschamp can get another head job in the conference two years later than I don’t see why Mac can’t.

Mack Brown is making a push to become the next Texas AD, according to Geoff Ketchum of Orangebloods. However, Ketchum reports that Longhorns stakeholders have reservations about Brown’s fitness for the position and that TCU’s Chris Del Conte — who worked with Tom Herman at Rice — is the name most commonly mentioned for the job. Former Longhorn football player Mike Perrin has served as UT’s long-term interim AD since 2015, and interviews are expected to begin in earnest early next year.

Thank God for that. I understand that Auburn rehabilitated Muschamp by paying him top dollar to be their DC. I just don't see McElwain being kept around the SEC coaching ranks. My guess he goes back out west somewhere.

Mack seems like he could be a good AD outside of the possibility that he tries to make Greg Davis the head coach.

I think he might be a good AD in the ambassador/glad-handing sense. Like what USC has with Lynn Swann. No idea if he knows how to run an athletic department but he wouldn't be the first.

He would be pretty good at raising assloads of money for Texas and as a general media personality for the school. As long as he shows as much interest with meddling in football as he did with meddling with Greg Davis, I think they would be fine.

Yep. People forget that “University President” as a title is mostly a figurehead and fundraising position. Given the fact that Tressel was a god among men in Youngstown even before he was hired as Ohio State coach, he was absolutely perfect. Enrollment is up big time, and he even convinced some big Ohio State fan to buy up several residential blocks full of vacant homes and move his manufacturing company there.

In a typical college town, the University President is probably the most important player in local politics.

Uh, anyway, RE: Mike Riley, if the coffin wasn't already nailed shut, it's been welded shut after that loss. I don't remember the last game played in which we weren't straight-up outcoached (save for Illinois, but c'mon). Watching Iowa destroy Ohio State, who beat us as comprehensively as I've seen a team beat us in memory, didn't help matters much.

I just hope Bill Moos has a plan in case the draw of raising his kid near his grandparents isn't enough to bring Frost back home, or whatever the argument is.


At this point, the majority of the fanbase and boosters would take just about anyone over Riley. Recruiting is already starting to suffer and next year's schedule is how-the-hell-did-the-B1G-clear-this hard. A new coach will get some leeway with it.



It's very unwise (in Nebraska's case, anyway) to allow the fan base and boosters to make hiring and firing decisions, though. They are basically too emotionally invested in the Cornhuskers to be able to separate their self identity from the results of football games, and they are a big part of why NU has become such a shipwreck since Osborne's last year of coaching. Personally, I hope that the NU administration is intelligent and professional enough to look long-term and not at the rest of the season. Riley has installed a recruiting system that had been largely ignored for years; there is a reason why so many freshmen, redshirt freshmen, and sophomores have replaced juniors and seniors this year. I didn't know Riley when he was hired, but I support him now. I think he needs two more years to turn things around on this team. It was a disaster after Pelini was fired and that disgruntled coach actively campaigned against NU when he left. It was a carnage.

Riley's biggest mistake, IMHO, is that he tried to "make nice" with Pelini's remaining recruits when he took over. He should have just ripped off the Band-Aid in his first year. Instead, he waited until he had a couple of season's recruits and then tried to install a completely new offense and defense with players that had no exposure.

I think letting fan bases and boosters dictate the course of college athletics is a major mistake, but given how boosters provide fucktons of cash they're very hard to ignore.

Riley was an obviously awful hire from the start. He hadn’t been good at Oregon State in several years and was clearly trending down. He only got the job because they were embarrassed by Pelini and wanted someone who was nice and polite with the media.

Anyway, I agree, Nebraska should definitely keep him, because recruiting. They should have kept Callahan too.
