Ole Miss is going to endure a year with an interim and then hire some mediocre coach. The Kiffin fanfic is fun, though.

General Dog posted:I think a lot of times the midseason firing is to ensure that the coach in question doesn't have the opportunity to rebound/pull off a signature win and make the decision more controversial. Look at how common it is for a coach to be fired before a season ending rivalry game. This is exactly what happened with Ron Zook. The dumbass student newspaper said "this is why they shouldn't have fired Coach Zook" after he beat FSU. Cue 2 titles under Urban Meyer.

The din of cowbells is a sound that I would want to get away from after as many years as he's been there. Plus, if he wants to show people he was the brains behind the Tebow years, he'll need to leave Starkville to win big. Nebraska is a coaches' graveyard, though.

Muschamp only survived that disastrous year because of the season that preceded it. For the same reason, I don't see any way that McElwain gets fired this season, no matter how bad it gets. I do think the writing will be on the wall once Georgia proves itself to be the class of the SEC East under Smart and he fails yet again to defeat (even a weakened) Florida State.

General Dog posted:It actually doesn't accomplish anything, as either way the recruiting class will be a shambles until the new coach is in place, and the much-touted "head start" on the coaching carousel never, ever means anything. The mid-season firing is exclusively about throwing a bone to the fans, and honestly gently caress every fan of anything, they deserve nothing. Mid-season termination helped UF get rid of Ron Zook before he had a strong finish to his season.

An arrogant guy like that might still slum it at a UCLA or Florida, where recruiting mostly sorts itself out. But if he stays out long enough, he'll risk being the next Gruden (minus the cushy media gig).

MourningView posted:Disagree. It'd be nice but it shouldn't be the top priority. There's gonna be a cap to how well they can recruit there regardless of who it is unless it's, like, Urban Meyer or something. They're far from any of the really talent rich states and no one in high school now remembers them as a super power. They need someone who is either really good/different tactically or someone in the Ferentz/Alvarez mold who can develop/scout like a motherfucker to get the most of the underrecruited talent in the area Iowa has a good, stable program, but I thought that Nebraska fancied itself as a blueblood. If they were okay with endless 8- or 9-win seasons they'd have kept Solich and, later, Pelini. I figure they need someone who can fly away from the cornfields and poach some 4-star recruits. I'm not saying they will achieve this.

nate fisher posted:Yep watched that game. Still even worse was the 42-17 beat down Nebraska gave Manning on his very last game as a Vol. Glad we finally beat Nebraska in 2016 (of course when it really didn't matter to anyone outside of the fanbase). It was a loss for Tennessee, but at the time they were heralded as a top program. I think it's a race between Florida and Tennessee to snag the next great coach. Until then, both are going to wallow in mediocrity while Georgia cleans up in the SEC East The worst of timelines.

Stanley Tucheetos posted:I'd love to see Charlie Strong at Florida. I know he wasn't good at Texas, but he did create a monster with Louisville after Kragthorpe destroyed everything Petrino accomplished. He's only had one year at USF, but Florida could afford it. I'd put up money its a current/former Saban assistant though. Hell no. Failed miserably at Texas and is 0-1 as head coach at Florida.

If there's a coach out there who's able to seriously contend with Bama/Ohio State/Clemson, he's not easy to spot. This is one of those years (like most years) where the ceiling on new hire quality might cap out a little lower. Which would still be a welcome improvement for Florida, mind you. Florida pays top dollar and has access to top-10 recruiting classes each year. I don't know what you guys are smoking if you think there are any other top programs without similar pressures.

Thermos H Christ posted:I'm not defending the Sharkfucker, or even attempting to judge whether Florida is making the right move by firing him. I'm just saying that the narrative of Texas being too quick to pull the rug out from under Charlie Strong seems extra dumb in light of how coaches with objectively much better results are treated elsewhere. I thought Texas made the right move (at the time) in hiring Strong, and also the right move for getting rid of him when they did. He failed to deliver on what was supposed to be his coaching specialty (defense, and of course winning lots of games). I think the same about Florida and McElwain.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:What is, racism.  Not every slight is attributable to racism. Strong has landed HC jobs at Louisville, Texas, and USF; he's doing just fine. Bud Foster and Venables have been star coordinators for years. Sometimes, it takes a while. It took ages for Kirby Smart to get a top HC opportunity.
