Best move for Baylor is to retain the current staff in hopes that Briles alone is enough to satisfy the public. Make Phil Bennett interim HC next year (he has HC experience), and then see if they can bring back Philip Montgomery from Tulsa to be the new HC at the end of next season. Probably not tenable given the desire to distance themselves from Briles' legacy, but from a football standpoint it's probably the best outcome fans can hope for. I guarantee that anybody they could bring in from the outside this offseason isn't someone they would want to commit to long term.

C. Everett Koop posted:James Franklin - Penn State. The line on Franklin was that he could coach, considering he had success at Vanderbilt at all places. But 14-12 in two years, being slammed by your QB on the way out the door, and life in a vicious division makes you wonder if Franklin's success at Vandy was due more to a power vacuum in the SEC East than his coach prowess. It also makes you wonder if Happy Valley's a place where you can win if both B.O.B. and Franklin fail out in short order. Digging up JoePa's corpse is an attractive idea to some, but not a route to victory unless you're a card-carrying member of NAMBLA. To say that Bill O'Brien "failed out" seems tremendously uncharitable by any metric.

D.N. Nation posted:Think I'll do a quick one for the SEC. I guess hot seat's definition can vary, but if he wins 7 games this year (in the regular season) I don't think he gets fired. The buyout is pretty pricey, especially with oil prices what they are right now, and the Baylor stuff has has really helped get our struggles out of the spotlight. Call me defeatist, but I think 7-9 wins a year in the SEC West is a pretty reasonable level of success for us; barring lucking into a generational, Briles-level innovator at HC I don't see us getting a lot higher than that at a consistent level. Not at this juncture anyway. Also I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Tom Herman isn't the next head coach for either Texas or Texas A&M.

As an addendum to this, I don't think things are going in the right direction for Sumlin, but I don't think they're going in the wrong direction fast enough that he's in serious jeopardy this year barring a total meltdown. What Chavis has done with the defense has done a lot to cover a lot of the rest of what ails us. All of that plus a couple of probably positive coaching changes this offseason, and I think things will get slightly better this year, even if it isn't reflected in W-L record.

MourningView posted:There are a lot of reasons to think he's promising but maaaaaybe let him win more than 2 games in a season before bumping him up to a Power 5 job. Sure, but my thinking is that if Baylor or A&M are looking for a coach next year, they'll probably need to try to buy low. Baylor because it may be a tough few years coming up combined with raised expectations, and A&M because oil prices.

DuckHuntDog posted:I can see them keeping Strong and trying a new DC if they end with a winning record, but nothing looks all that promising right now. Does it make sense to keep a head coach at Texas with three consecutive losing seasons and few signs things are really improving despite good recruiting classes? It seems like a bad sign if they can't have a breakout season in such a weak (or "even" if you want to be charitable) year for the Big 12.

Thermos H Christ posted:Watch Charlie Strong win like 7-8 games and come within a hair of a co-championship in a terrible B12, followed by a booster uprising that causes him to get fired after a lot of infighting, leading to an epic PR disaster with Texas getting taken to task for being racist and mistreating Strong and having a totally dysfunctional political culture around the program, which in turn causes Herman to decide he doesn't want to step into the middle of that. Followed by a shitshow of a coaching search led by an embattled placeholder AD, culminating in the hire of Lane Kiffin for $10m a year after he initially turns us down. Please don't post my fanfic unattributed.

As far as I can recall Iowa is the only state that both has small population and schools in multiple conferences. To be fair, Kansas has never really supported KU and KSU at the same time, it's always been a zero-sum (or negative-sum) game between the two.

I don't know, but they hired an AD away from Missouri under the same circumstances. Also he's making $2.75 million at Cal. Hell, Baylor pays their women's basketball coach $2.1 million, they've got money. Seems like a good fit culturally (no offense to Sonny); I think he'd play better to Texas recruits than California recruits. But maybe he's happy now, I dunno.

dphi posted:What's the deal with Kendal Briles? Any talk of him taking the HC job at Baylor at some point? If not, an HC job elsewhere? I think regardless of your feelings about the guy, having him as HC at Baylor (at least right now) would be pretty weird for all involved parties. Plus, this is only his second year as OC, I think he's going to need to prove himself as OC somewhere away from dad before he gets any talk for an HC position.

Plus the tears from next door would be pretty epic, assuming this is the year he doesn't collapse down the stretch. I dunno. Haha go for it man. I like Sumlin, but if you want to drop 8 million a year on him I'm sure his buyout can get us somebody pretty good.
