If you’re gonna do this why not aim high and get Ken?

Kelly would make sense at UCLA but yeah I can’t see them outbidding Florida if Florida really wants him. It’d also probably be a good spot for Frost but can’t imagine them beating out Nebraska for him. That’s an interesting job, there aren’t really a ton of obvious west coast candidates that I can think of because most of the good coaches in the most obvious feeder conference (the MWC) are all pretty old

There's this coach at a bad program that has increased its win total each year he's been there . . .

Anyone who can say this with a straight face should be immediately distrusted.

Honestly we should have made the playoffs last year and we have the same roster + some playmakers. The problem is our play calling is godawful and our defense is getting exposed because our DE's and OLB's are trash.

Little of column A, lot of column B.

Jim Mora Jr. once got fined by the NFL because he made a phone call in the middle of a Falcons game because he did not know the playoff ramifications if the game was tied after overtime. Now ties are certainly rare in NFL outcomes but the head coach of an NFL football team hadn't even entertained that possibility.

UCLA: Head coach Jim Mora has been let go, the school has announced. Offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. AD Dan Guerrero announced a national search will begin immediately with support from Casey Wasserman and Troy Aikman... UCLA announced they will honor the terms of his buyout (over $12 million), paying for it “exclusively with department generated funds”. Today is Jim’s birthday.

Maybe? He hired a new agent recently and his name has started popping up in rumors more, which makes me think he’s open to moving now. I think it’d need to be a pretty good job, but Nebraska could definitely make it worth his while. I don’t think he gets as much interest from big schools as you’d think because not many programs want to commit to running a triple option.

Oh poo poo you might actually be right. His name might still be pretty toxic in LA though after USC. Plus does UCLA really want rapist enabling coaches in both major sports?

Not many programs are interested in running the triple option. Navy also has a lot of money to throw at their coach, and the unique recruiting and life at a service academy is likely to scare off teams that might want to hire him otherwise--they don't know how he'd do outside that weird little bubble. There's kind of a reason there are only four programs at the FBS level running the triple option (even if it's not a truly football-related one; the triple option works and is by no means outdated)

Chip will be second^2 fiddle (behind USC and UCLA basketball) in LA and that would be a poor choice on his part frankly.

I don’t think UF would be totally hosed in that scenario but Chip is as close as there is to a sure thing and whiffing here would be embarrassing and a huge gamble on Frost et al.

E: Also this coaching hire may make my heart explode bc the idea of Chip w unlimited Florida athletes makes me fully turgid like Ollivander jerkin off to Voldemort w the Elderwand.

Let me introduce you to the Tennessee fanbase. They are the worst when it comes to coaching searches and they were the first (I'm pretty sure) to live stream from airports.

Edit: Rumors (which I don't believe) :

Matt Cambell Interviewed in Chicago (I can't imagine any coach interviewing before season ends)

Oregon State reached out to Butch Jones, and he turned them down:

https://www.seccountry.com/tennessee/coaching-rumors-oregon-state-reportedly-reached-butch-jones-job-opening/amp

I can actually believe Jones would turn them down (stick it to Tennessee with that buyout), but I find it hard to believe Oregon State reached out.

It seems the tide has changed on Gruden rumors. There are a few holdouts, but most now realize they have been played by several posters. Still there are people making excuses with words like 'smokescreen' and etc, and swear it is happening. These are the people that have no idea what 100% means.

UF fanbase now in full meltdown mode over Kelly apparently visiting UCLA today. Either he is doing his due diligence/courtesy visit before signing with UF, or he was actually using UF to force UCLA's hand with Mora because he had his eye on UCLA all along, or something else will happen. Glad we narrowed that down.

I saw where some people think Jon Gruden was a smokescreen for John Harbaugh. I don’t know what that even means. It’s amazing some of these people can hold down a job. Looking forward to when football is outlawed due to safety.
