Only two Big XII coaches I really see going anywhere are Texas Tech where Kliff would have been gone last year if the money had been there and Kansas State, where Bill Snyder is prolly going to retire at the end of the season.

Re: Fuente I don't think he'd leave Tech for Florida, but you never know. I think the Tech job is a really, really good gig. They have excellent facilitates, plenty of money, are in the weaker of the two ACC divisions, and have a national brand. It's not like Tech isn't a top 25 program or better. I would also think Scott Frost would be more interested in the Nebraska job, but you never know. If you're Florida, I would think the list is: Dan Mullen Charlie Strong Scott Frost Matt Campbell Crotch Bat posted:The rumors from rival fanbases (read: UVA) say he's a terrible interview (possible) and a mad drunk (possible but not probable). You never really hear those things ever inside the fanbase even from fringe fans who wouldn't care about saying a rumor like that about a beloved coach and I've heard my fair share of poo poo about the staff over the years so I don't lend a ton of weight to it, especially not when far bigger known pieces of poo poo get HC jobs everywhere. He's very no-nonsense which is usually a poor HC quality for a major program when it comes to dealing with media, recruits, etc. although there's something to be said for him going from a very, very bad recruiter to an average one the past 4-5 years. From what I know of when we interviewed him back when Rod left he was not a great interview, but was really being considered for the job.

Real Name Grover posted:Everything out there is conjecture right now. Already read a couple columns today that say he would opt for UF because of the talent base, but nobody loving knows; Frost walks to the beat of his own drat drum We went over this last go round with Florida, but its not exactly the big job everyone makes it out to be. Their facilities are kind of lovely (have improved), not terribly well managed, and you're going to be under a lot of pressure to win right away. You're also inheriting an offense that has sucked under two different head coaches and five different coordinators. I think Nebraska is also not the job people think it is anymore, but you'd think Scott Frost would be more interested in going to his alma mater than going to Florida.

I don't know if another NFL team is willing to roll the dice on Kelly, but who knows. NFL GM's are strange.

an adult beverage posted:I think a major thing in Florida's favor is that it will be the best job available for this hiring cycle. It is if they move early in the cycle, which is why I think they pulled the trigger now. It's possible you could see Notre Dame open if Brian Kelly takes an NFL job. an adult beverage posted:Plus Florida has already had multiple opportunities to hire Strong, if they wanted him they would have already had him (and probably fired him by now). What is, racism. For what it's worth, I think Strong would be a much better fit at Florida than he was at Texas. I've said since the very moment he was hired he was lovely fit for Texas and I was 100% right about that. Texas is a job that requires a person to be extremely media/booster affable in a way like Notre Dame does, and that was just absolutely not his strong point. Florida is absolutely not that kind of a program, but I also don't think he'd be terribly interested in going back into that scrum, but you'r an idiot to not give him a courtesy call. He's an excellent coach and recruiter who rebuilt Louisville. Demon Of The Fall posted:Tennessee athletics prints money. They can afford any buyout.

Like backdoor deals obviously happen but you don't want it to appear as though you were out looking for your next coach before you bothered to fire the one you have now. Even if everyone does it to some extent. It's not even just that. There's all sort of legal issues going, as well as that most searches are ran through head hunter firms.

It seems more likely that if they have made a decision to fire Butch, that they're either going to let him coach out the year out of respect or they're still working out the details of a buy out.

Thermos H Christ posted:I can't say how he was at booster gladhanding, but Strong was pretty great at the media stuff. He seemed nervous at the very beginning, like his introductory press conference, but very quickly developed a relaxed/confident/affable demeanor in front of the cameras. Better than Herman, that's for sure. Strong came across as really genuine most of the time, and he had a countrified charm to him. Herman comes across like an arrogant spergy douche, most likely because he is an arrogant spergy douche. I think Herman will probably end up being more successful than Strong, maybe very successful, but he is not what you would call an "affable" guy. And if he wins, nobody will care. This is mostly all laughably untrue.

buddhanc posted:Okay, then explain to me exactly how he had 3 straight losing seasons at Texas. Is he such a feeble man that he drained all his energy schmoozing at night and had nothing left to coach all the 4 and 5 stars in the morning? I think it was just a lovely fit; and everything I've ever heard about him from people who've been around him is that he does not like the sort of media spotlight. It can be a variety of things I also think you can be a bad fit or have a bad run somewhere and not be "a lovely coach." Especially since the results on the field at Texas were never the same as what he's produced in his other jobs.

Dykes also has a much more established history as a good recruiter and is much more animated on the sidelines.

kayakyakr posted:I would be as well. There was some weirdness with his departure from Tech, too, which would make things all the more awkward. Though the biggest thing is that I assume Holgs has a pretty substantial buyout. We can barely afford Kliff's, so we're going to have a really hard time with Dana. You can actually get Dana on the cheap! His buyout to leave is only like 2.5m if leaves after Jan 1, 2018.

MourningView posted:Dana seems firmly in the “probably too good to fire, not good enough for someone else to try to hire” zone now Our fans are routinely idiots about it, but I generally agree. He's a good fit here and has pretty much embraced the culture. He also is fine letting Huggins be the big deal and doesn't compete with him for screen time. I don't know how great of a relationship he has with our AD, but I also don't think it's bad enough to matter. Like I said I wouldn't be shocked if he took another job, but I am also not really expecting it either. kayakyakr posted:It'd be hard to wait until Jan 1 to make the hire with the new early signing period. It's like 500k difference though so, prolly not a big deal.

Thermos H Christ posted:Fair enough, but that's how Herman describes his offensive identity. And for reasons that are not clear to me, he's been pursuing pocket passers lately (Kyle Allen at Houston and our 2017 QB commit). I don't know if he thinks he'll just turn them into dual threat guys, or if that's not really what he wants to do in the long run, or if he's just going for QBs with a lot of upside and figuring he'll be able to play to their strengths, or what. I don't think you're replacing Tim Beck.

MourningView posted:They’ve been mostly average at best since the 80s outside of a couple big years early in the Bob Toledo run and even that’s like 20 years ago now. It’s been awhile. As mentioned football isn’t a huge priority and they don’t have great facilities. They’re a distant second behind basketball at UCLA and way behind USC football in LA. It’s definitely not a terrible job and like just about anyone they can be great if they make an awesome hire, but it’s not as easy a place to win as people seem to think. I mean part of it is UCLA does or did everything on the cheap.
