Maybe one of the powers that be was looking for the source of an information leak so he did the thing where you give everybody you suspect contradictory information and see which version comes out. Tell booster A "keep this on the down low but we're looking at what it would take to get James Franklin", and tell another you're looking at Dan Mullen, and another you're looking at Mike Gundy, etc. Like in Game of Thrones.

edit: a "canary trap", that's what it's called

Daniek Stern did that to the owners in the NBA right before he retired. Sent a notice to each team with slightly different wording.

Also bad for recruiting, IMO: Bad coach Butch Jones. I do not want him coaching at UT this is my mild take

Is it really that bad for recruiting? Especially when a four star decommits right after the loss today.

Just pay the buyout, whatever Mac did is probably pretty dumb but it's not worth sending this message to the next coach you want to hire.

The rumor is that UF is negotiating a reduced buyout with his agent. If he doesn't take it, they will do the "for cause" firing and let it run through the courts for a few years.

EvilHawk posted:

So how does this work now? A lot of the names floated are currently in positions - would they move immediately or would it be Shannon(/Spurrier?) as interim HC until the end of the season? Similarly the coaches - Nussmeier needs to go too, but would we have someone else to step up the mean time?

A Shannon HC/DC and Spurrier OC/AHC until the end of the season would be p cool I guess.

The actual hire won't happen until the end of the regular season. Well, there may be an agreement and rumors, but no official announcement until then. Some coaches finish out the year with their current team, especially if they have a big bowl game. Some leave immediatley, especially if the program is going to promote the OC/DC.

I meant more along the lines of keeping him a year to lower the buyout. Its a bad look if you can't land the top prospect coach who was the face of your school for a while. Better to just keep Riley and go after then top guy next year. It would be like if Tebow was the hot coaching name and he turned down Florida for another school.

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.

I’ve received a lot of messages last night and today about things with Chip Kelly. Believe it or not the holidays sometimes give you more information as sources higher up talk and are with other higher up sources. Anyways here’s what I’ve got.

Everyone I speak with is sticking to their guns and saying that Chip Kelly is coming to Florida. Everyone says that unless Kelly is telling Florida a story than its the Gators for his choice.
I was told a piece of information that I haven’t heard before until last night but I was told that Florida never wanted to announce Kelly before Sunday. The reason behind this was to not distract people from the team.
I was also told that Florida is vetting people for Kelly’s staff still and that he wants to announce his staff fairly quickly after he’s announced as head coach.
Again unless Florida is getting played then the Gators are expecting Kelly to be the coach on Sunday or Monday.

Florida is now a baseball school.

But for real, I had reservations about Muschamp the same way I did about Zook. At the time, and even now, Florida is not a good school to learn how to be a head coach. Spurrier and Meyer each had head coaching experience coming into the gig. Thats why I never liked the Zook hire and was hesitant about Muschamp. Mac at least had a couple good years at Colorado State, so I thought he was going to work out.

Couple things:

If Schiano signed the contract, would we still owe his buyout if there was one and if he signed the contract, doesn’t that mean he’s no longer employed by OSU? Does OSU take him back?

Usually large contracts like these things have an effective on date of like 48 hours so that this very thing doesn't happen.

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.

What the hell is the point of search firms? To find an unknown guy that the AD would not have thunk of otherwise? Cause SBNation does that for a lot less than a search firm would.

A search firm is a step between the AD and the coach. So if you try to hire someone like Schiano, you can save your job when that backfires.
