Re: Coaching Searches 2016
RichRod said in an interview when he came to AZ that he wasn't "married to the 3-3-5" but his record indicates that's where he goes. If a school told him who he could and couldn't hire, or what schemes he could and couldn't run, I don't think he'd go. He's dealt with institutional meddling with his programs before and that's probably not something he wants to deal with again. Arizona gives him free reign to run things. That's kind of a big deal.OSUCat wrote:I'm not sure if the 3-3-5 (with castel at least) would make the move, or at the very least it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't.azpenguin wrote:We haven't heard anything really so far, and the regular season is over for AZ so I doubt he's a tier 1 candidate anywhere at this point.

Re: Coaching Searches 2016
Les Miles will be the next head coach at USC (so-cal). If he isn't then I'd guess USC may wait to see what happens with Chip Kelly and the Eagles.
Re: Coaching Searches 2016
Well LSU just become the new Nebraska of firing a winning coach. What is up with USC and Chip Kelly rumor. Do you really think Chip Kelly want to go too USCw if they were that desperate of finding a coach that is up and coming. Yes their no denial that Kelly record in CFB is 46-7 but do you really think that Other high profile job that would be more impelling other than USC.
Re: Coaching Searches 2016
Depending on the SC site you visit, they are getting Chip Kelly, John Harbaugh, or Sean Payton. They've already turned down Jim Mora and Mark D'Antonio

Well maybe the old DLINE coach will retire and we can bring in a guy who will hit the road and get his own big uglies. That would be a good start.
And let's hire LB coach and let him recruit rather than Casteel being over that group along with his coordinator responsibilities

Re: Coaching Searches 2016
He wasn't getting that job unless Fuentes (and possibly others) turned it down first, regardless of whether or not he is still married to Casteel. Judging from his tenure at Michigan, his devotion to the 3-3-5 is as big a problem (if not more so) than his allegiance to Casteel.UAEebs86 wrote:I think RR could have killed it at VT if he had kept Foster.

If I am LSU, I make the loser of the ACC championship an offer he can't refuse. And stay on Fedora even if UNC wins Saturday... I think Dabo will be a tougher pull.

I was saying that I highly doubt theirs wasn't any talk at all.
Or AD would consider him from the beginning but it doesn't seem that way.

I don't think neither Dabo or Fedora would leave their respected school after the success their having. I mean Who is going to take them seriously of wanted to become LSU HC. LSU need to do what VT did, Hired a up and coming coach.

Re: Coaching Searches 2016
Mack Brown did well at UNC until Texas came calling. UNC is a pretty good gig, but not one of the 5-10 elite jobs in CFB. One of those comes calling and it would be hard to turn down.SCCats wrote:So you think someone is going to be inclined to pass up LSU to stay at the juggernaut that is UNC football?

He grew up in Texas and spent 4 years coaching in Mississippi; what state is in between those 2? If he doesn't leave after this season, and UNC has another 9+ win season next year, expect his name to be rumored as replacing Charlie Strong, who IMO has one foot in the grave but will get another season.
If Fedora does bolt, I think RR could be a candidate to replace him. ACC, close to home, and a job he'd have a decent chance of getting. Whether or not RR would want it I have no idea, but there won't be many (any?) better jobs in that region of the country he'd have a chance at getting in the next few years.

He has had tremendous success by season 4 walking into less than ideal situations. Now he has not stayed anywhere long enough to prove he can sustain it, but he's had opportunities that prevented him from staying any longer.
In an era where every coach not named Meyer, Saban, or Harbaugh supposedly needs 6 years to make an impact, I think the guy's record is very impressive.
