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. I know he's been talked about with the SC job, but again... how do you sell SEC boosters on the 3-3-5?

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.

Fuente and pairing him up with the retention of Foster? Not too shabby.

I think RR could have killed it at VT if he had kept Foster. Too loyal to Casteel I guess.

The talk of RR to VT was over a month ago.

I doubt that talk was over long ago if Whitlock didn't think he could lure RR away or most VT fans probably didn't want him their.

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.

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 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.

So you think someone is going to be inclined to pass up LSU to stay at the juggernaut that is UNC football? (If Fedora was offered)

Interesting hot take. I assume you've got some inside info to make this a value add proposition instead of just a fairly ridiculous opinion?

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.

If I were either one of them I would make a run at Shaw. Not sure if he'd leave, but it's worth a shot.

I am pretty sure Brian Kelly will never leave ND, and they can keep him. His pomposity and pious attitude is right at home in South Bend. #NotAFan

Granted Fedora has a good set up but he won't be getting an offer from LSU. Go Wiki his season by season W/L. He's an average caliber coach. Might as well hoard Les Miles.

I have looked at his history, and I find it quite impressive,

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.

Interestingly enough he really wanted the Arizona job when it opened up

He'll end up with a good job, if he wants one. Not an elite coach, but a damn good one - and one of the better human beings in the college football coaching ranks.

So who sits atop UGA wish list? I'd bet Fedora is pretty high up there. Maybe Tom Herman?

I would expect Mizzou, So Carolina, UVa, & (eventually)

Fedora isn't leaving NC after the year he has.

North Carolina to go after him.

Wouldn't it be entertIning if UNC and UGa swapped head coaches.

Well it is bit of shock that they fired a coach that is 9-3 of the year. Georgia is going after Kirby Smart. You can forget about RR moving to them if offer it wont happen.
