1) David Shaw stepped down after 12 years at Stanford
2) Fickell will likely be the next head coach at Wisconsin. Should be finalized in the next 24 hours or so.
Interested to see the Fickell contract. It will probably be pretty good.
Got to think some additional moves are made today. But Auburn is on the clock and look worse and worse as this goes along. They look very poorly organized on this.
Be interesting to see how the Stanford job is viewed by coaches
Fickle to Wis is a really good hire and fit for both sides.
Looking more and more like ASU will hire the Oregon OC.
I wonder if Shane Beamer will jump on Auburns radar assuming Freeze and Kiffin don’t work out.
Spencer Rattler helped Beamer's job status significantly.Quote:

Didn't Rattler win 15 of like 17 games he started at Oklahoma? He wasn't shining?Quote:

Fritz to Georgia Tech.
Their fans would burn the damn oaks to the ground if they hired Mullen, someone who refuses to recruit and never even sniffed a W vs bama.
Several people on here said Stone Blanton wasn't very good either, and he's starting at LB for them as a freshman.Quote:

Their fanbase is crazy about the guy. It sounds crazy, but he has a ton of a support in that fan base and if they don't get kiffin what other home run hires are out there.
They have already said no to Freezus. Too much baggage which we all knew.
Now GT has apparently hired Willie Fritz.
If you are AU right now, both Wisconsin and GT have made really good hires, while you are sitting there with no one. You don't fire your coach in October only to hire a coach in December. You've had close to a month to make this happen, letting this drag out is just a terrible job.
It makes me think that lane did tell John yes, and then he backed out of the deal (can't imagine lane going back on his word.....) and now John is scrambling.
It's been surprising to me that we haven't seen his name pop up. Is there a chance he's let it be known he's not interested in coaching? At least for the short term.Quote:

Lane probably backed out of it just in spite of the reporterQuote:

But the longer this strings along, I might actually start to think that maybe John Cohen is the one making this hire. Sure smells like a Cohen shit show.
Compared to Auburn's past coaching searches before Cohen, Cohen's hires have gone off with out hitches. LolQuote:

I think our LB verified that he likely wouldn't have touched the field this year. And our backups aren't too shabby either. Purvis has some good moments and Page did as well.Quote:
