If they got along well at Ohio St., this could be a done deal now. But Fickell would want no word out until after his Bearcats face Memphis again, for the AAC championship.
Coaching changes
- Thread starter WoadBlue
- Start date
When you are a coordinator brought in to save the HC, you are in a bad spot. First, even if you do a good job, it could fail and the HC still be fired or else on a very hot seat: see SC this year.
But if you succeed very well, then some of those fans who'd demanded that the HC be fired or else replace at least 1 coordinator will then want you to replace the HC you saved.
Harrell is not a Longhorn - he's a small town West Texas Red Raider. He should be very wary of going to try to save Tom Herman.
All good points. I guess it would also depend on whether Mack is ready to dump Longo after only one year.
In terms of Herman's job security, I think Texas and Michigan are very much alike right now. Their boosters / fan bases are setting unrealistic expectations based on past success and perceived brand value. Times have changed and more schools are able to attract elite recruits, which makes it harder for the "big dogs" to win championships on a consistent basis.
I highly doubt that Mack will send Longo packing after one season.
Agreed. And I don't see a reason to either. Sure, we haven't been great in the red zone but the offense is bringing 10 starters back. Barring key injuries, the Heels should be rolling up some big numbers next year.
The fun is just beginning at Ole Miss

"But you realize, there's no program without players," Tuitt said. "You're basing stuff off the fans. But we don't care about the fans that much. I'm going to be honest. We're here for the coach. We love football. If you don't want to support us, that's just your fault."
They don't base firing off all fans. They base it off what boosters demand. When enough boosters want a change, a change will be made.
I thought Ole Miss probably would give Luke another year, because he is an alum, and because his best class is his freshmen. And because the large number of fired P5 coaches will make it very hard for an Ole Miss to land the guy they want.
Chris Petersen is stepping down at Washington - he's only 55.
He has a son with some kin of chronic illness. Supposedly he was close to coming to UNC at one point. if so, it would have been to be right there with the UNC and Dook med schools in his backyard.

Notice he said to "recharge" in his statement and not retire. Wonder if he would be open to coming here if Mack retires in 5-7 years.
Who knows? But if he truly wants to return to coaching after a few years out, Mack is the man to talk to.
Norvell is the only one with a reasonable buyout. Campbell has been excellent compared to Iowa State's history, but his buyout is insane.
Reason he did't look at Carolina before is because he is a west coast person and he won't be coming east.
Yeah, firing coordinators is always the last chance to save a job. If the new hires don't work out, guess who is the next guy out?
I think he may be the best of the lot anyway. Give him FSU’s talent and look out.
That would explain why FSU at first seemed ready to announce well before the season ended and then went into wait mode. Norvell is not going to want to disrupt his team. If Memphis beats Cincy again this week, Memphis is the best team in a G5 league, and Memphis gets to join the Major Bowl Club.
Doeren has made Tony Gibson the DC, and Pack Pride is melting down. Several of those Wufs said that Doeren had better make a splash hire for OC.
I kindly suggest Mike Bobo, who is no longer the Colorado St HC. He has SEC experience, which could help dear ole MooU secure the SEC invite for which it has been spreading its legs.

Hmmmm... they better be prepared to spend the money to lock down a good DC as well.
That would be very interesting. If he goes back to USF and wins, it means that is where he was meant to be.
SI article: In Retaining Clay Helton, USC Proves it Lacks True Interest in Returning to Elite Level
The coach you retain or hire says whether you are serious.
For those who may not know, Carol Folt is now USC Chancellor.
He's been mentioned some. He's already making more than a lot of head coaches, so he's priced out of a lot of openings.
I hope he gets a HC job soon because it may weaken Clemson a little
