I believe that A&M wants Jimbo, and I believe there must be some indication he's willing to entertain an offer with this much smoke, but beyond that I seriously doubt anything is in place yet.

I'm glad UT dodged the Schiano bullet, but oh boy I'm not enthusiastic to see where we go from here. Mullen was probably my #1 realistic candidate

Even without the Sandusky stuff, the fact that Tennessee would hire Schiano means they've whiffed on everyone. There is no plan B.

David Baliff's seat is probably very warm right now, but he did do a lot of things good at Rice before the wheels fell off. Its up in the air

And that's why I don't believe they'd let him leave without a fight. Besides, why leave a fairly cushy gig to go and get your brains beat in once a year by Saban? Unless there's reliable word that Saban's done in a year or two, going from FSU to A&M is career suicide.

Oregon State already hired Beau Baldwin. He led Eastern Washington to an FCS title, fought tooth-and-nail with Pac-12 teams every year, well-respected in the region. It's a good hire, exactly the type a program like Oregon State should be making.

I'd agree it's a risky move, but here's the contrarian take- Bama aside, the west is going to be composed of a post-Mullen Mississippi State, a (likely) sanctions impaired Ole Miss, an Ed Orgeron-helmed LSU, and whatever Arkansas decides to be. For the immediate future, it's not necessarily going to take a herculean effort to reach the point where you're competing for #2 in the division. A&M has high expectations, but if he's winning 9 or 10 games a year he's going to be just fine for a long time.

A&M has high expectations, but if he's winning 9 or 10 games a year he's going to be just fine for a long time. A&M believes they're a contender in the West, partially based off that first season where they won at Tuscaloosa with a near-generational QB (and set Saban off to change his entire defensive philosophy). I don't believe 9 wins is going to satisfy them if it means going 5-3 in the conference. You also left out Auburn which has been up and down under Gus, which means you might be playing for third if Gus is on one of his up years. Maybe in the back of Jimbo's mind he's thinking that Saban's 66 while Dabo's only 48 and he'd have a better chance going to the SEC West and waiting out Saban than staying in the ACC Atlantic and battling against Dabo for however long (this also means he think Dabo won't go to Bama once Saban retires  ). It can't just be the divorce and the 7.5m, if it's money he wants FSU will give it to him. Jimbo's got a job at FSU for as long as he wants unless seasons like this past one become the norm and a not a fluke. At A&M he's got 3 years to get into the Playoff before the seat warms up. Why he'd jump into that is beyond me but I don't know how he thinks.

For real though is Schiano a bad coach? I mean he is clearly a bad NFL HC, but we all know that is an entirely different skill set than college HC. He seems to be a good DC, and the fact that he made Rutgers above average seems to be a huge plus in his favor. I guess he doesn't have any other college HC experience to point to. I know its a huge thing to say "lets ignore the cover up of child rape" but I am genuinely curious why he would be a bad hire as a college coach.

Also: "generational" or "once in a generation" has been applied to Cam, RG3, Jameis, Johnny Football, Deshaun, Lamar, etc. That's at least six guys of the same generation.

He's probably a reasonably OK coach in terms of results on the field, but is it worth the potential (well, realized) PR nightmare to be just reasonably OK? Like, surely there are at least a dozen other coaches in that same "tier" who don't carry any negative connotations. It's like when they came up with the turnover trash can, you ask yourself, couldn't they have picked almost any other object in the world that didn't carry the association with Garbage?

So you didn't entirely defend Rice -- I went back and looked through like 20 pages of posts -- but you did basically say you didn't have a problem with them just suspending him (lots of posts of you going "but the players are ok with it!!!") and then you completely gave Pernetti a pass for his conduct during the entire fisco so yeah. Not really the best look, but yes you did not defend Rice.

The (probably fair) consensus is that he'd stand a good chance of being solid if unspectacular, but not nearly good enough to put up with the assholery that's defined his career, and that's before taking Sandusky stuff into account.

It's a risk because we have only a short sample size that was a relatively decent chunk of time ago. I don't know if we can call him bad but it's a big risk.

I usually understand "generational" to mean generational for their specific program. Which I think applies for all of the examples listed.
