Is this one of those “asking for a friend” things and you really saw him on Grindr?

That was my first thought. Great minds and all, so clearly RockyMountainHighHorn likes dudes and is scouting LA for Coach Bro. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

When you put it that way, it seems like Matt Wells got the worst deal of them all...

Lot of smoke around Holgorsen with a lot of different jobs (including some speculation about him flirting with Louisville).  Makes me think he wants out of Morgantown, but I wonder what other jobs, if any, he'd go after this year.

I've got a buddy who is a WVU alum. Granted he's the most cynical motherfucker I've ever met, but his general thoughts on Holgo are indifference, and he follows the program very closely. His general attitude is "if he wasn't going to win the Big 12 this year, he is never going to win it." I personally think that's a reckless attitude for a guy who wins 8 games a year most years for them, but apparently there just isn't currently a ton of love for Holgo in Morgantown..mostly ambivalence.

If it's true he was actually interested in tech, he'd have to have interest in k state, wouldn't he?  Unless littrell to there is a done deal.

It's hard to tell where he would go but there does seem to be some smoke about both sides not being happy that he is in WVU. I just don't see where WVU could better themselves.

Strikes me as someone who might take a lower paying NFL OC position to not have to deal with HC duties...  Heck he might have made enough money to be ok going back to being an OC in college....

He realizes this isn't the big Manhattan, doesn't he?

I've never been. Maybe it's better than Lubbock, but it seems remote for a partier.

He might prefer the more under-the-radar vibe with a friendly press and police force.

I agree he has taken USC from a place where 99% of the guys in Kliff's position would immediately accept an offer from to a place where Kliff is basically saying I will get back to you

Swann at USC will have to replace Helton to get quality offensive & defensive coordinators...

The NFL’s pool of coaching candidates may not be deep enough for each franchise to find its own offensive mastermind, but there’s a reason Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley has become the hottest name in the league’s coaching carousel. It’s no accident that the Rams and other front offices reached out to Kliff Kingsbury almost immediately after he was fired by Texas Tech. Teams have started to understand what it takes to build a winner in the modern NFL, and for the franchises that don’t already have the ingredients, coaching changes are on the horizon. Firings like the one in Green Bay and rumblings like those in Carolina may be the first surprises of this season, but they certainly won’t be the last.

Here in LA, my girlfriend said she just saw a guy named Kliff on tinder. Wait a second....

If your girlfriend is looking at dudes on tinder, it's probably time to find a new girlfriend.

Not a shock.  Wonder what happened?  On the surface it appears fired, but there were reports that Gus wanted him gone but AU was going to make Gus keep him.  Wonder if Lindsey just didn't feel wanted/comfortable.

And it happens the day before Kelly Bryant is announcing.

You don’t just walk away from Liberty, Liberty walks away from you. 

You could poll a 1000 knowledgeable college football fans, and there is a damn good chance not a single fucking one of them knows where Liberty University is located.

I am guessing Virginia, but that's all I got. I feel like I pay a lot of attention to the sport of CFB. Also, I don't know where Old Dominion and East Carolina are. I presume VA and NC somewhere, respectively, but that's as close as I can come to getting them right. There really aren't many others in the FBS that I don't think I could nail. Good trivia item at a bar, really.

Problem is, he pretty much needs to remain HC because he's gotten used to it.  He takes a job working for anyone other than smellsofbourbon (out of coaching) or maybe Sumlin and he gets fired after he shows up late and hung over more than a couple times.   

He looks kinda like the bum at Ben white/congress when that guy wears a visor with a greasy, stringy skullet

Hoke should get his own entry in the dictionary about slowly stumbling to the top only to take a quick slide down to the dumps.  Synonym--retread.

I thought they'd hire Art.

That’s my thought. They want desperately to be relevant and there really is no give a fuck amongst that crowd. They would say it’s jebus will be done or something.

Hugh Freeze and Liberty would be the best fit in the universe.

I totally get this is a pretty big who gives a shit job, but Austin Peay was one of the worst programs in FCS before Healy took over and they got snubbed for a playoff spot last year. It'll be interesting to see if can build an FBS resume and be a name to watch for big jobs 5 years down the road.
