I think he is the next Nebraska HC. And that's a reason Matt Campbell signed that extension with Iowa St this early.

I think Frost will return to Mama, but what if Jimbo is leaving? Frost did talk to UF but did not want to talk 2nd round because of his team still playing for a Major bowl. Would Frost be interested in FSU? FSU would wait until UCF is set in its bowl and perhaps allow Frost to coach that bowl.
I think I mentioned him early on this thread. He was perfect for an ACC HC job: Pittsburgh native, Fordham grad and then HC, and PSU OC.
That quick hire shows that Miss St was very well prepared for Mullen leaving.
Gundy has hated having to deal with 1 overbearing booster who cows Ads at his alma mater. At Tennessee, he would have multiple overbearing boosters. And it's not his alma mater.
He made a wise choice.
BUT I encourage him to arrange a straight trade with UNC: Gundy for Fedora. Supposedly T. Boone Pickens likes Fedora.
How long has he been out of coaching?
If you want a guy to come in and demand discipline, he's your man. But he could be out of date. Double so for the college game.
The upcoming Conference USA Championship matches two coaches who each could be P5 HCs before too long, because they have rebuilt Losers into 9-3 division champs: Florida Atlantic's Lane Kiffin and North Texas' Seth Littrell.
Littrell is a real life Okie from Muskogee. The southwest is deep in his marrow. So I expect him to be patient for something in that area to open. But Kiffin would be happy anywhere in a P5 with good weather and access to recruits and the coastline.

I never understood the fit at UT. He hasn't coached anywhere in 3-4 years, and he's only been HC in the NFL, which is totally different from college. I think part of the reason the Schiano drama happened is because UT fans were delusional enough to think that Gruden was actually going there, and were let down that they hired someone else. Now they're going to be stuck with mid-tier coordinators. They will get what they deserve.
With Kelly heading to UCLA, the last thing Oregon needs is to lose its new coach. Taggert is from FL. If Jimbo is crazy enough to go Aggie, then FSU might be interested in Taggert.
I prefer an offensive HC, like Fed, but Lane Kiffin has way too much baggage.
I still think Fed can have a strong 2018 and 2019.
If Doeren gets the Tennessee offer, he will take it. It will be his last shot to sign a fat deal with a program like that. And the Moo brass will have Kiffin on a short wish list. Monte Kiffin was Moo HC for 3 years (most famous for his being attacked by Danny Ford at midfield after a game, because Ford figured out that ole Monte had turned him and Clemson in to the NCAA). Lane wants to be a P5 HC ASAP. And he loves access to the ocean. He is one of the brightest offensive minds in the country, and he has learned a great deal from Saban about running a program.
Lane Kiffin in Raleigh could be a nightmare for UNC. Other than a guy like Marquise Williams whose great asset is running the ball with power between the tackles, what QB would prefer to be groomed by Fedora than by Kiffin? And that's just the beginning.
I think Fedora can have a strong rebound only if he loses a good deal of his arrogance in assessing 'his offense' and hires a new blood OC. Moo hiring somebody like Kiffin likely would spur Fedora to dig in his heels to try to prove the superiority of 'his' offense.
I would remind you as you hope that Fedora's 11 win season is his future much more than his 7-6 and 6-7 teams that Chuck Amato also had an 11 win season, and that one ended perfectly for the Pack with a bowl win over Notre Dame. Even so, Amato was a flop overall at Moo, fired after year 7, when his team was 3-9.
Herm to Arizona State is basically a done deal. Here is a take on it from yahoo.

It is a risk for the Sun Devils, but Edwards is a good guy who knows the game well and knows that discipline can and will elevate any talent. And that could be the knuckleball hire that gives them an edge
Lol, Kiffin is not going to NC State. For one, they hate him cuz of his daddy. For two, Kiffin's sites are a littleeeee bit hire than the Raleigh fairgrounds.
3 commits have de-committed. Fisher's wavering is costing FSU a recruiting class. He needs to man up and decide.
If it's having a negative effect on recruiting, take your time Jimbo!
Absolutely. Mullen can recruit. I fully expect he'll keep William Barnes locked down.
If Kap goes, I heard UF's ex ol coach Brad Davis is a target for replacement. That definitely wouldn't hurt our chances with Barnes since Barnes likes Brad Davis.
Vols fire AD. Talk about dumpster fire. Any established coach who goes there is nuts.
With Jimbo becoming an Aggie, the FSU job is easily the biggest prize.
Will Taggert want to piss on all that Nike money and screw Oregon after 1 year to return to his home state? Will Saban's most recent protege clamor to become Seminole Chief? Will FSU make a play for Scott Frost? Mike Leach loves Key West, so being in Tallahassee would plant him in the state. Would FSU consider Mike Norvell ready for the Big Time?
