Coaching carousel megathread

[Tater]

Just putting this somewhere for myself to copy / paste and keep up with this madness. Making trees to update as stuff changes. This is officially the wildest with LSU hiring Kelly away confirmed.

USC HC Lincoln Riley-> OU ??? (Strong indication it's Brent Venables HC w/ Lebby OC)
UF HC Billy Napier -> ULaLa ???
TCU HC Sonny Dykes -> SMU HC Rhett Lashlee -> Miami OC ???
LSU HC Brian Kelly -> ND ???
VT HC Brent Pry -> PSU DC ???
Washington HC Kaleb Deboer -> Fresno ???
Duke -> ???
Troy -> ???
Temple -> ???
Akron -> Oregon OC Joe Moorhead listed as favorite not official
FIU -> ???
La Tech HC Sonny Cumbie -> Texas Tech OC ???
Auburn OC -> ???
Miami??? Rumored to fire Diaz after buyout date. All indication are that he is not part of their future plans.

Let me know of ones I missed and I'll edit this post thanks.

Rich Rod to Jax State

[msstate7]

ND gonna be fickell?

[WhiskeyPirate]

This is a crazy year. I think Washington is a dumpster fire. They have a lady who was in charge of marketing as their AD, she makes a horrible hire of Clown Jimmy Lake.....then doubles down and hires the Fresno state coach.


I have no idea what OU is going to do but would really be surprised if they with two coordinators rather than an experienced HC. Matt Campbell is probably going somewhere but his offense doesn’t fit what Riley was doing.

Brian Kelly to LSU ? I guess the pressure cooker that is ND is too much for him......LSU is not going to be a walk in the park.

Kelly is going where the players are you need to win big. Kelly is a good recruiter, but no urban or saban, so he can't pull sec athletes north. Kelly is gonna be able to get all he needs at LSU. I think he does very well

[msstate7]

Meyer imo

They absolutely should get urban if they can. He's the 2nd best college coach

[WhiskeyPirate]

Urban to ND would be a great hire.

I really never liked Kelly.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

Would ND look at Campbell?

[Tater]

ND gonna be Meyer or promote Marcus Freeman. Matt Campbell will get a look but passed over.

OU hiring Venables as HC and Lebby as OC is all but confirmed now.

We'll see how Dabo can do with hiring a new DC. Something tells me he make a call to Manny Diaz. If Lane gets the Miami job then that is a huge win for State. Ole Miss would be gutted of everything and the kitchen sink.

[DownwardDawg]

I agree. And the people that think ND will never be back.......
The right hire will have ND in the playoffs every single year.

[DownwardDawg]

I really never liked Kelly.

I never thought it was a good hire.

[msstate7]

So if lane goes to Miami, what's stopping OM from getting freeze back? I hope it doesn't happen, but it really is a perfect fit between the two

[WhiskeyPirate]

If Urban turns down ND I think Campbell might have a shot. His system would work well there, he’s Catholic and I think he’s mentioned that as a dream job.

[KOdawg1]

So if lane goes to Miami, what's stopping OM from getting freeze back? I hope it doesn't happen, but it really is a perfect fit between the two

If you poll their fans, the majority would take him back in a heartbeat

[KOdawg1]

A lot of ND fans want to promote their DC Freeman. He's a good coach

[msstate7]

Lebby to AU as OC?

Stranger things have happened.

Lebby to AU as OC?

Stranger things have happened.

He's going OU with Venables

[Dawgfan77]

LK has made known parties. He is interested..

[SailingDawg]

Is Lane having a hissy with all these openings being filled? Or is he waiting on Miami?

[Mathiston]

Not happening. It will be Fickle.

[Saltydog]

Meyer imo

ND not going to hire the ass grabber! Ain?t happening! They would rather lose than hire someone they perceive to be immoral.

[WhiskeyPirate]

I saw that on Reddit. That could get interesting.

[KOdawg1]

Maybe so.

ND's 247 mod says Freeman is the leading candidate though with Fickle being #2.

[Saltydog]

It?s not their fans, it?s their administration?..

[WhiskeyPirate]

No way they hire Freeman, that’s a smoke screen. ND fans would riot.

[SailingDawg]

It?s not their fans, it?s their administration?..

*Bishops

[TrapGame]

Lot of chatter that Venables to OK is a done deal and will announced tomorrow. He is bringing Lebby to be his OC.

ND asst coach said he was in a recruits living room when he got the text. He said he felt like an ass sitting there with that kid knowing the coach he was committing to just walked out the door.

[parabrave]

So if lane goes to Miami, what's stopping OM from getting freeze back? I hope it doesn't happen, but it really is a perfect fit between the two

I think Freezus has been blackballed and he should be happy where he is at,

[Schultzy]

Brian Kelly is splash hire but feels like an old retread past his prime.

[parabrave]

Brian Kelly is splash hire but feels like an old retread past his prime.

I want to see what young assistants he can bring in and also what can he do with that Louisiana talent.

[msstate7]

Does Deion Sanders get a look at a G5 school this year? He's done a really good job at JSU

[Tater]

Matt Rhule has reached out to OU admin. Venables / Lebby might be on hold now. Very interesting development.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

Deion has transformed JSU overnight it seems. They?ve packed the Vet a couple of times. It?s cool to see.

[msstate7]

The rumor is Manny will be fired tomorrow after his buyout drops.

That's why Lane has been so quiet about the coaching hires. Sexton has been working Miami hard for him. I would not be surprised if Manny is fired and Lane announced in the same day. It could get wild.

Bo Bounds was pretty adamant this morning that Manny is fired tomorrow. His buyout drops $2 million at 12:00 tonight. If Manny was staying he would have been supported by the university already. They are not hiring a new AD just so he can announce the current coach is staying. As the article I posted yesterday stated no one in the current administration at Miami will tell Manny anything. It's a wall of silence. That's not good. We all know Lane wants a Florida gig and Miami would be a perfect fit. Sexton put his name in the mix early on. I'm pretty damn sure Sexton has made it known to the current administration that Lane is available to take that position should it come open. This is not rocket science. Lebby has his bags packed for Norman yet there has been not a single speculation tweet about who could possibly replace him at ole miss should he leave. That's b/c the current head coach won't be there to hire the new offensive coordinator. He'll be in Miami.

[Maverick91]

Meyer imo

he would kill it at ND.

[StateDawg44]

A catholic school hiring Urban Meyer and all his recent antics?!!??

I think Mullen goes into commentary. He's scheduled to be on SEC Nation this Saturday giving his opinion on UGA/Bama. I wouldn't be too surprised if he has an ESPN gig next season.

I don’t see them hiring a coach with an AD that makes no sense. It would be hilarious if Kiffin left like that but I just don’t see it. Now…it may happen in the next few weeks but I think they have to name a new AD first.

The new AD is also supposed to be announced tomorrow. I don't think it's a coincidence. If Manny was safe I believe the chancellor would have had that discussion with him already. They won't tell him anything.

Kelly talking to his asst. coaches at ND to come join him at LSU.

Sonny Cumbie to La Tech. I think that means Graham Harrell may end up as Texas Tech OC. If not then potentially he will be Clemson OC.

Listened to Jake Wim yesterday and he had a Florida reporter on that said he spoke to high school coaches in Jacksonville that had never met Dan Mullen. He never set foot in their high schools. There was a 5* kid in Tampa that had FSU, Clemson and Miami in his top three. When asked about Florida he said no one had given him the time of day from there.

Dan had massive recruiting problems.

I can sorta relate to him in that there's very little i'd hate worse than begging a kid to come play for me. Nevertheless, he gets paid a crap ton to do it, and he should work harder at it. Considering how much he likes recruiting, he should take his millions and play golf or whatever

Lots of speculation, but I doubt Kiffin leaves Ole Miss this year. More speculation is that Kiffin has Gabriel, the QB at UCF, to come in as his QB at Ole Miss next year. I understand Gabriel was previously recruited by Lebby. I guess we'll soon find out.

If Kiffin gets the Miami job- he is gone. That's not speculation. I would be surprised if Cristobal left Oregon but I did see where his Mother's health could play a part in his decision. She lives in Fla I believe.

Kiffin has had a contract extension ready to go- he just hasnt signed it yet. He's letting things play out.

Been told by my miami source it's unofficially official that Diaz is gone. Cristobal is 1 and Kiffin is 2 and no one is spilling which accepted it. No other names mentioned. Curious if Miami so the ACC team that has the million dollar offer to Harrell at OC. Riley has already told Harrell to look elsewhere.

Like 34 said he's got an extension that's been sitting on his desk for two weeks now. Lebby may take Gabriel to Oklahoma with him. Lebby ain't staying Oxford. He's gone asap.

And like I've said before if Manny was truly safe the chancellor would have told him by now. He's totally in the dark. They have a nice recruiting class to hold together.

You joke but (and this is purely speculation on my part) the slowness on confirming Moorhead to Akron coupled with the lack of announcer raise for Cristobal makes me wonder there's thought Cristobal might leave and if so that Oregon would promote Joe. I don't see Oregon hiring Kiffin. It makes sense for him because he is striking while the iron is hot. But I don't see them believing he'd stay there longterm.

FAU ain't nowhere near as good as Miami. Miami needs someone to fire them up and get the mojo going again. Kiffin fits it to a tee. It's not about a "dream job". It's about taking the "right job" when the opportunity presents itself.

He will be as long as he has a transfer QB on hand.

I don?t see them hiring a coach with an AD that makes no sense. It would be hilarious if Kiffin left like that but I just don?t see it. Now?it may happen in the next few weeks but I think they have to name a new AD first.

The new AD at Miami is supposed to be FAU's AD who is very close with Lane.

The new AD will not want to keep Manny Diaz and will want to start fresh with his own coaching hire, wouldn't you think that FAU AD and Kiffin talk?

It makes sense tbh.

No on that second one. No

[was21]

Catholicism as depicted by the Godfather films is about as accurate as the Godfather films are to the American mafia...not even close

[PikeDawg15]

I think their is some thought about cristobal going to Miami but they wont elevate Joe. Joe has to prove himself again by taking a smaller head coaching job before he can get a job like Oregon. He might could get a mid tier G5 job

[TrapGame]

Kiffin may very well be here next year, but only if Cristobal takes the Miami job. I do think Manny gets fired b/c they've had him hanging in limbo for three days now. The season is over. Tell him if he still has a job or not.

Speculation on my part is Lebby knows Kiffin has the Miami job and that the Ole Miss job is his now that they know that would be the only way to keep him. But again that's speculation. I haven't been told anything outside of there seems to be a hang up with Lebby and Matt Rhule said he was interested.

Fwiw I don't think Rhule bring Joe Brady with him. Brady seems like a guy who hates recruiting and now that he's in the NFL, he's staying. Mullen should do the same imo.

Look, the guy is a world class ass. He was looking for a gig from 15 on and was told in no uncertain word that shit was over, stay here or go on. He went on, his and some of his staffs bs was wearing very thin here but he could get away with it, at UF that crap didn?t fly and once it went south for him he wasn?t getting any help.

As I've said on many post. LK stays at om, gets a good portal qb for next year to bide time while the #Network acquires talent. Ox has all the “side" that Lk needs. Money is just a frivolous lawsuit away for the talent for the second coming. “Manning to the 3rd power". Saban can’t coach forever.....Stars are aligning up. Hope I'm wrong but it really does look like it but it appears om has glory days coming.......I truly hope I’m wrong.

If Kiffin is still at OM next year, he won't get a quarterback in the portal that can run that type of offense as efficiently as Corral has. It's not a done deal that Arch goes to OM either. UGA says hello. The Network got Cutcliffe as the OM coach to make sure that Eli chose OM, as that wasn't a definite either without Cutcliffe being there.

You would think if Kiffin was at the Conerly presentation one of the local news stations would have interviewed him. I've seen Leach's interview from last night but nothing from Kiffin.

I read on the TSUN 247 site, a fan asked David Johnson about this, and where was Lane. David sidestepped it by diverting into a little rant about how the Conorly presentation invites a player from every small college that does not have a chance etc. Basically avoided it.
I saw Bryan on twitter (is he on here?) retweeted Lane showing he landed at the Jackson airport, and then did not show up.
David Johnson had said yesterday Lane and coaches were going to visit Trevion Williams, and then this morning he had to revise it and say Lane was not going and it would just be Nix.
Late last night Lane offered several 2024 recruits from the Miami/South Florida area.

All of that is just odd.

But no word on Manny keeping his job. It's real simple. Other coaches have been told they're safe, raises, extensions. Not Manny.

I think they are waiting on Cristabol to wrap up the PAC12 first. He has been very quiet.

Kiffin will sign the extension, I can just feel it

[TrapGame]

Makes you wonder if they know who the new AD is and they're discussing the potential new coach. Maybe announce both the same day.

I kinda wonder if the new AD is Kiffin's buddy from FAU. He wants Kiffin, period. But, there's a group of big boosters that want to at least give Cristabol a chance to say yes or no. They are at an impasse at the moment.

Just really odd stuff going on. You'd think if the final couple of AD candidates were okay w/ keeping Manny it would out in the public that he's safe.

[Catfish]

I guess they're going to wait on the new AD and let him make the call on Manny. Don't know, I'm just shootin from the hip.

Lebby is a candidate for the ULL job and he will take it if kifffin signs the extension with ole miss but he will not sign that because he wants miami and he's waiting for them to make a move.

Just read an article borrowing from the Miami Herald saying Diaz is pissed he?s being left in limbo. His asst. coaches are pissed bc they want to be able to find other jobs now not next month.

If he's a good recruiter and still put in this kind of record, that doesn't say much about his development/gameplanning ability:
https://i.imgur.com/I9fcI68.png

Keep in mind that the Sun Belt was much worse back then than it is today, and a good coach should have been able to win consistently in it.

However, he may have learned a lot from Saban and cleared up his deficiencies, since he has been better at Oregon (though with more resources and money than most in the conference have).
