Coaching Vacancies

[The Sharkster]

There are going to be a lot of coaching voids in the CFB world at seasons end. It will be interesting to see who ends up where. If the Heels end up at 9-3 or better, how vulnerable are we to having Fedora plucked? Any other thoughts on this subject?

UNC will always be vulnerable in football, because we are not a destination job and quite frankly coaches are giant $%@&'s these days and mostly care more about the $$$ and their egos than anything else. I don't see any of the current openings even looking his way except maybe Maryland? Of course the current openings are not the problem. Once they are filled, then there will be other openings and that is when we would have to worry. There is also the 9-3, just don't see that happening giving the history of UNC football, but we will see.

Chizik might make some short lists.

I'm not sure how appealing Fedora is right now to employers. My suspicion is that most won't grant him any leniency because of the NCAA sanctions and judge him primarily off his record, which has declined each of his first three years here. USC will demand more. USCjr (or Baja Carolina, as I heard someone say haha) doesn't hold tremendously more appeal...higher salary and exposure, perhaps, but higher expectations as well. And Maryland would be a lateral move at best IMO.

Butch Davis is well aware that the biggest mistake of his career was leaving Miami before the big payoff. Larry Coker reaped the benefit of what Butch did. 2016 and then 2017 should be the big payoff for what Fedora has done at UNC. He would be nuts to leave before at least 2016 plays out.

The same goes for Chizik.

That said, if Fedora were to leave after this season, I would assume that Chizik would want the UNC HC job and would get it. As long as he could keep Littrell as OC or get another OC who is top of the line, Chizik should be able to win big in 2016.

And once we get back to winning the ACC, the job becomes a much bigger one.

Miami could very well be open after this year. Could Butch be waiting for that?? It would definitely raise the spirits in South Fla.

Interesting indeed.

Interesting indeed.

A bunch of Miami fans want Butch back.

 

[Archer2]

That would be ironic.

I'm more concerned losing Chizik,he has a better resume than fedora with that NC title.

 

[ACokeForRoy]

I would hate to see what happens if MIA, Texas or even VA come calling on Chizik.. Not only is he gone but important pieces of the defensive staff is likely gone..

what coaches at sc are desirable?

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I think Chizik is much more "pluckable" than Fedora.

I don't think either will leave (Fedora, as mentioned needs to stick around to make his first 3-4 years with sanctions worth it, and I can't see Chizik bailing after 1 year), but if either did I'd much rather it be Fedora if Chizik will slide into the HC gig.

has chizik's wife moved here yet?
