I have to think that Alabama will shed some coordinators. Hopefully not to Auburn.

Looks like defense is the problem not the offense

I don't think O'Brien will survive. Perhaps he gets a head coaching position but, in my eyes, offense is a problem. Like Clemson, as they have drifted away from running the ball with power I think they are more beatable.

I hear you and I am not a fan of BOB but man, averaging 42 points a game should be enough

They scored 49 on Tennessee while Georgia only scored 27. The difference was that Tennessee scored only 13 against Georgia while they scored 52 against Bama. Obviously Bama’s offense is the problem. Bama’s QB won the Heisman last year and they made it to the national championship game but that OC/QB Coach just isn’t getting the job done. I was told that two years at PSU wasn’t long enough to judge the job that O’Brien did there but obviously a year-and-a-half of pretty respectable results in Tuscaloosa are a sign that the man clearly isn’t fit for the job. It has nothing to do with personnel and the talent lost from last year’s team. O’Brien is the designated scapegoat for all that ails the Tide.

I don't get the Kiffin to Auburn angle.  Like, why?  He's making $7.5M and Harsin was at $5.5M.  Killing it at Ole Miss w/ 10W last year and likely to hit 10 again this year.  He is an absolute golden god in Oxford and has his team rolling.  Why on earth would he go to Auburn just to rebuild that mess?

And the Ole Miss coeds and their MILFy moms are hard to beat.

2022-23 Coaching Carousel updates, Hot Board candidates

By  BRANDON MARCELLO      22 hrs ago

Quote

The changes across college football are fast and furious...   Six coaches at Power Five schools are out before November with the biggest move coming at Auburn with the ouster of Bryan Harsin on Halloween. After just one month of the season five Power Five coaches had been relieved of duties, making for the fastest turnover in the sport's history. Twenty Power Five programs (plus Notre Dame) have changed head coaches since 2021, making for an incredible turnover rate of 30.8% among the highest-paid jobs in the sport. More changes are likely on the way.

The early turnover in college football this season (and in 2021) has been wild, and though every program has different challenges and nuances, the common underlying motivator is the transfer portal and the early signing period. College athletics has experienced sweeping and transformative changes since 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic led to more blue-sky thinking among administrators. The biggest change: players are now free to transfer from school to school with immediate eligibility.

So much is at stake, and with record-breaking media deals struck in the Big Ten (More than $1 billion per year), conference realignment shaking the landscape once again and the College Football Playoff expanding as early as 2024, the need for fresh perspectives and aggressive hiring-and-firing practices is at an all-time high. Be prepared for another record year on the coaching carousel.

Live updates from the carousel, along with hot board candidates pulled from 247Sports' industry sources, can be found below.

Carousel live updates

Nov. 13

Cal: Cal has fired offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and offensive line coach Angus McClure, the school announced.

Nov. 6

South Florida: South Florida has fired head coach Jeff Scott and defensive coordinator Bob Shoop. Special teams coordinator Daniel Da Prato will serve as interim head coach and co-DC Ernie Sims will serve as playcaller the remainder of the season. USF was 4-26 in Scott's two-plus seasons as head coach. The Bulls ranks 129th in scoring defense, allowing 39.9 points per game. Scott, who previously served as offensive coordinator at Clemson, leaves USF as the least-successful coach in program history with a winning percentage of 13.3. The Bulls are 1-8 this season.

Auburn: On the heels of a 21-19 Liberty win on the road at Arkansas, head coach Hugh Freeze briefly discussed the Auburn opening with 247Sports: "I don't know that Auburn wants me. I have no clue," Freeze told 247Sports outside Liberty's celebratory locker room. "I know this: I have won everywhere I've been and my staff and kids have turned programs fast. It's our culture that we instill. I know we do that and the proof is in the pudding."

The Flames signed Freeze last week to an eight-year contract worth $40 million through the 2030 season. His average yearly salary is the largest among Group of Five coaches. Other details of the contract have remained private but the buyout is said to not be exceptionally large, which opens the door for other schools to pursue Freeze if they choose.

"I think we have a great situation for him but obviously there are some other really big jobs out there as well and we're going to do everything we can to keep him at Liberty," athletic director Ian McCaw told 247Sports. "We certainly understand there are others that are going to pursue him."

Auburn is expected to pursue Ole Miss' Lane Kiffin under newly-hired athletic director John Cohen, sources told 247Sports, but Freeze is also a hot name and he has support among some boosters. Freeze said he and his agent, Jimmy Sexton, have not been contacted by Auburn as of Saturday.

Meanwhile, Auburn lost 39-33 to Mississippi State in overtime in interim coach Cadillac Williams' first game.

Nov. 5

Missouri: Mizzou has extended the contract of Eliah Drinkwitz two years through 2027. He is also expected to receive a pay raise but those details have not yet been revealed. The news comes on the heels of a new three-year contract signed by defensive coordinator Blake Baker.

Oct. 31

Auburn: Bryan Harsin has been fired at Auburn after a short 21-game stay that included a 9-12 record and a fracturing of the fan base amid off-the-field drama and a terrible spiral on the recruiting trail with Harsin's staff. The decision was made less than 30 minutes after 247Sports reported Mississippi State athletics director John Cohen had been hired as Auburn's new AD.

Auburn is expected to set Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin as its No. 1 priority in the coaching search, people familiar with the process tell 247Sports. His familiarity with successfully traversing the Transfer Portal offers Auburn immediate help with its subpar roster. Also, Auburn supporters have been busy building a gigantic NIL base for the new coach. The total is already above $11 million, a person familiar with the fundraising tells 247Sports.

Other names to watch early in the coaching search include Jackson State's Deion Sanders and Liberty's Hugh Freeze. Freeze agreed to an eight-year deal worth $40 million at Liberty last week, but the buyout is not substantial and we're told Freeze is interested in the Auburn gig.

Oct. 28

Liberty: Hugh Freeze has agreed to an eight-year deal worth a combined $40 million at Liberty, sources tell 247Sports. It's not believed his buyout will be substantial should he choose to seek employment at a Power Five school.

Oct. 23

Charlotte: Will Healy has been fired following a 1-7 start to the season, his fourth leading Charlotte. The former Austin Peay head coach was 15-24 overall and was 10-14 in Conference USA during his career. Offensive line coach Pete Rossomando has been elevated to interim head coach. Charlotte moves to the AAC in 2023, so that obviously factored into the decision to fire Healy.

Oct. 14

Georgia Tech: Mike Daniels has resigned as Georgia Tech's running backs coach and analyst Donald Hill-Eley will serve as the interim replacement.

Hot Boards

Candidates to consider

Arizona State
Shaun Aguano, Arizona State interim head coach
Troy Calhoun, Air Force head coach
Kenny Dillingham, Oregon offensive coordinator
Danny Gonzales, New Mexico head coach
Bryan Harsin, Auburn head coach
Dowell Loggains, Arkansas tight ends coach
Bronco Mendenhall, former Virginia head coach
Todd Monken, Georgia offensive coordinator
Kalani Sitake, BYU head coach

Troy Calhoun seems to be a great fit here as he deals with some uncertainty off the field at Air Force. The coach has been incredibly successful and has been involved -- or mentioned -- in several openings over the last two years, so this might be the perfect time to move. Kenny Dillingham is a young coach who has Oregon's offense playing at a fantastic level after that season-opening loss to Georgia, but his lack of experience is a concern. He is an Arizona native and worked at ASU previously. He has incredible connections to high schools in the area. Dowell Loggains is thought of highly in coaching circles (both college and professional) and is getting a push from former ASU players, reports CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd. The most intriguing name is Bryan Harsin, the embattled Auburn coach who never quite fit into the SEC culture. Harsin might be a fantastic fit in the desert. He has tremendous connections in the West and will certainly be motivated after the nightmare at Auburn that was exacerbated by wild-haired boosters. Harsin was 69-19 at Boise State with five double-digit win seasons.

Auburn

Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss head coach
Deion Sanders, Jackson State head coach
Hugh Freeze, Liberty head coach
Mark Stoops, Kentucky head coach
Matt Rhule, former Carolina Panthers and Baylor head coach
Jeff Grimes, Baylor offensive coordinator

Auburn will initially target Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, sources close to the program told 247Sports. How that will develop in public (and private circles) will be fascinating considering the booster culture on the Plains. Kiffin could provide Auburn an immediate boost in the Transfer Portal for a program that needs upgrades along the offensive line and at receiver, along with holes on defense. The self-labeled "Transfer Portal King" would also upgrade recruiting at Auburn, where the Tigers' recruiting class sits at No. 49 in the 247Sports Composite. His exciting brand of offense would be a huge hit among fans and it would excite a base that had become apathetic since the late game of the Gus Malzahn era in 2020.

Jackson State's Deion Sanders has support from some in Auburn circles and his ties to Under Armour are a huge plus for his candidacy. Auburn is viewed as Under Armour's crown jewel school and Sanders would provide an immediate push in branding and awareness. The question is whether Auburn supporters (and athletics director John Cohen) are ready to hire a coach at a top-20 job after only a limited experience leading an FCS program.

Hugh Freeze is no longer viewed as toxic by Auburn supporters who nixed him as a candidate in December 2020 and could be in play. An attempt to hire the former Ole Miss coach would not be blocked by SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, sources told 247Sports.

Kentucky's Mark Stoops has tremendous SEC experience and will be considered if the list narrows. Baylor offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes has built quite a reputation as an offensive line coach through the years, including at Auburn, and his offenses as a coordinator at BYU and Baylor have been tabbed as some of the more physically-based schemes in the sport. That fits perfectly in Auburn's blue-collar model as a program. Grimes will receive consideration as a head coach at several schools during this silly season.

Colorado
Marcus Arroyo, UNLV head coach
Eric Bieniemy Jr., Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator
Troy Calhoun, Air Force head coach
Jeff Grimes, Baylor offensive coordinator
Tom Herman, former Texas head coach
Bronco Mendenhall, former Virginia head coach
Dan Mullen, former Florida head coach
Gary Patterson, Texas special assistant
Mike Sanford, interim Colorado head coach
Ryan Walters, Illinois defensive coordinator

Colorado hasn't mattered on the national scene for the better part of 25 years, and swinging big for coaches is probably not the approach the Buffaloes' administration should take as it faces an uncertain future in the Pac-12. That's why names like Bronco Mendenhall, Dan Mullen and Gary Patterson make the most sense here. They're either out of coaching or doing it only part-time (Patterson as a special assistant at Texas) and might be more willing to jump into situations where they will be valued and allowed time to build a program -- and make no mistake, Colorado needs a monster renovation of the roster. Patterson, the Hall of Fame coach at TCU, will be the No. 1 candidate here among supporters of the program and the school is expected to give chase.
 

Georgia Tech

Alex Atkins, Florida State offensive line coach
Jamey Chadwell, Coastal Carolina head coach
Josh Gattis, Miami offensive coordinator
Charles Huff, Marshall head coach
Dell McGee, Georgia running backs coach
Bill O'Brien, Alabama offensive coordinator
Deion Sanders, Jackson State head coach
Travis Williams, UCF defensive coordinator

Georgia Tech might need to think outside the box or simply hire a coach with strong connections to the high school scene in and near Atlanta, one of the hottest recruiting beds in the country. Georgia running backs coach Dell McGee is a popular name here and should get serious consideration, though the administration there might not be fully on board. The big name is undeniably Deion Sanders, but would he be provided the leeway to run the program his way at all times? Coastal Carolina coach Jamey Chadwell should be on the move this year if he wants a Power Five gig, and with the market not expected to be flooded with huge jobs in the region, this might be his best fit.

Nebraska
Matt Campbell, Iowa State head coach
Dave Doeren, NC State head coach
Josh Gattis, Miami offensive coordinator
Mickey Joseph, Nebraska interim head coach
Chris Klieman, Kansas State head coach
Lance Leipold, Kansas head coach
Urban Meyer, former Ohio State head coach
Bill O'Brien, Alabama offensive coordinator
Gary Patterson, former TCU head coach
Chris Petersen, former Washington head coach
Zac Taylor, Cincinnati Bengals head coach

Nebraska got the earliest start on the carousel. Athletics director Trev Alberts, a former Nebraska star player, has made it a point to remind fans the Huskers are not returning to their glory days and that way of thinking needs to evolve if they want to be competitive in the Big Ten. That means hiring a proven winner capable of building a program in need of a new identity, one that will take on the personality of its focused coach. The top candidates include Iowa State's Matt Campbell, who may need to jump this season or risk never leaving Ames voluntarily, and Kansas' Lance Leipold. Leipold will be the hottest coach on the market whenever he decides to listen to suitors, so get ready for a bidding war if the program builder from Wisconsin-Whitewater, the University at Buffalo and Kansas decides to leave the Jayhawks.

Wisconsin
Dave Aranda, Baylor head coach
Dave Doeren, NC State head coach
Lance Leipold, Kansas head coach
Jim Leonhard, defensive coordinator/interim head coach
Sean Lewis, Kent State head coach
Bill O'Brien, Alabama offensive coordinator

Wisconsin hasn't fired a head coach in its major sports since 1995, when Stan Van Gundy (!) was removed as the leader of the basketball program. Change happens and Wisconsin legend Barry Alvarez has done a masterful job in maintaining success at the program in an advisory role throughout his head coaching career and now in the Big Ten office. Favorite son Jim Leonhard will be given the first opportunity at the job as the interim coach, but should he fail to impress administrators the top name on the board is Lance Leipold. In fact, Leipold could be the top name on the board, anyway. The Kansas coach has rebuilt the worst Power Five program in the country into a top-25 team in less than two years. The Jefferson, Wisconsin native built Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater into a powerhouse with six national championships in eight years, and the natives are sure to push for him to return to his home state. Leipold wins everywhere he goes. He built the University at Buffalo into a consistent winner and hit the peak with a 10-win season in 2018. Nebraska, Wisconsin and others might be in a bidding war for Leipold come November.

Biff Poggi, Jim Harbaugh’s right-hand man, named next Charlotte coach

Published: Nov. 15, 2022

Biff Poggi, the right-hand man for Jim Harbaugh and an integral part in Michigan football’s resurgence, has landed a head-coaching job again.  The University of North Carolina, Charlotte, has hired Poggi as its next football coach, the school announced Tuesday afternoon. An introductory news conference is planned for next week.

Poggi, 62, has spent the last two seasons as the associate head coach at Michigan, operating as an advisor and sounding board for Harbaugh. And in the rare instance where Harbaugh was unable to make practice, he served as head coach.

It was the second go-around at Michigan for Poggi, a longtime friend and confidant of Harbaugh who was on staff in a similar role in 2016. In a recent story by The Athletic, Poggi was credited with helping spearhead the behind-the-scenes turnaround in Ann Arbor ahead of Michigan’s run to a Big Ten title and College Football Playoff berth in 2021.

“Biff has been a tremendous asset to our University of Michigan Football program, providing support and mentorship to our coaching staff and players,” Harbaugh said in a statement for Charlotte’s announcement. “He has a great football mind, knows how to prepare a team during the week and on game day, and is a coach that aims to change the lives of his players in a positive way.

“Biff is a trusted agent and known friend, and I know that his leadership and ability to develop a team-first culture will be a huge asset to the Charlotte 49ers.”

Poggi also garnered headlines for his incredible run at St. Frances Academy, a private school in urban Baltimore where he poured his own money into the football program and turned it into a national power. Michigan has used the school as a recruiting pipeline for years, even landing running back Blake Corum from there, thanks to the connections built.

He also won 13 state titles at his alma mater, The Gilman School in Baltimore, in addition to short coaching stints at Brown, Temple and The Citadel.

Charlotte fired its previous coach, Will Healy, in October after a 1-7 start. The 49ers are currently 2-9 and in last place in Conference USA.

South Florida fires head coach Jeff Scott, the former Clemson star assistant

The Bulls have languished the past three years with a 4-26 record

https://footballscoop.com/news/south-florida-fires-head-coach-jeff-scott-the-former-clemson-star-assistant 

 

It's the "Coach Potato Bizarro World Curse!" Any program that "Walking Dysfunctionality" touches turns not just to defecation, but whale defecation at the bottom of the ocean.

Texas? Hello darkness my old friend.

USF? YIKES! Historically bad.

U of Miami? They have 45 reasons to marvel at his incompetence as a defensive coordinator. 45. As in the number of points given up each game to Florida State, Duke and ... Middle Tennessee State. As in, in those 3 losses, USF has given up more points than Illinois and Minnesota have given up ... over their 10 game season so far!

No, I'm not bitter much about Coach Potato.

Where's my Xanax!

It's going to be really interesting to see how much the new CFB landscape changes the qualities needed to be a good head coach. A few things in particular:

  • Being a dynamic, hands-on recruiter is probably less important. The money is going to do a lot of the talking. 
  • Knowing how to run a good bag game doesn't matter anymore
  • You almost have to be a "players coach" and watch the locker room mood like a hawk. If not, kids will portal out immediately.
  • Sorta similar to bags but it'll be critical to keep your NIL sources flowing when things aren't looking great. Booster relations will be big unless there's some sort of endowment model in place to weather any lulls.
  • Will budgeting / GM skills start to matter? Moneyball type shit? Or do programs start hiring GMs to manage free agency decisions (inbound and outbound)

Updating the lay of the land at Wisconsin and filling background elements of the Badgers' coaching 'search'

Sources, other reports indicate Badgers on verge of tabbing Jim Leonhard as full-time head coach, but what was the path to this point for U-W?

JOHN BRICE           15 HOURS AGO

Chris McIntosh had played football at its highest level and turned a star career at the University of Wisconsin into an eventual NFL Draft first-round selection by the Seattle Seahawks.

So McIntosh had seen good, and he didn't think he was seeing good from Paul Chryst and Wisconsin five games into this 2022 season. 

The Badgers had lost three of their first five games, being upset at home by Washington State in one contest and blown off the field by Ohio State and Illinois in back-to-back contests shortly thereafter in the season's first half.

McIntosh, sources with knowledge told FootballScoop, had conversation with Chryst to outline -- some have said strongly encourage/demand -- greatly improved play and recruiting from Chryst's squad.

The two ended up not remotely seeing eye to eye in the meeting that Sunday morning after the Illinois loss, and Chryst was fired -- at the time being owed some $20 million in buyout money.

Chryst negotiated his buyout, and the Badgers moved forward with Jim Leonhard, whose playing career at Wisconsin followed on the heels of McIntosh's time with the Badgers.

Leonhard has helped turn around the Wisconsin season, going 4-2 in his six games as interim coach. Sources tell FootballScoop, and there are myriad additional reports, that Leonhard is expected to be named the Badgers' permanent head coach in approximately a week.

Wisconsin could still win eight games if it defeats Minnesota next week in its regular-season finale at home and wins a bowl game.

It's a fascinating situation, one we explore with more depth and insight in this special edition FootballScoop Podcast on the Wisconsin Search.

I feel like Deion would do well at Colorado. But then again, I think most of the coaches they hire should do well there.

Guess his agent wants to be sure folks know he's ready to get back to work... 😋

Matt Rhule: "I would give anything to be on a sideline today."

Matt Rhule says his six weeks away from a team have "reinvigorated" his love for the game and coaching.

DOUG SAMUELS        54 MIN AGO

-------------------------------------------

It's been about six weeks since Matt Rhule has been blowing a whistle on the practice field for the Panthers.

In a recent interview with The 33rd Team, Rhule makes it very clear he misses being on the sidelines, teaching, and being around "the guys."

After saying "miss" (or some variation of it), at least ten times, Rhule teases "I don't know how long I'll be able to be away from football, because I miss [those relationships]. I love my family and they're my team right now, and they'll always be my team, but I also miss being on the practice field and coaching."  

"I hope and pray that the time comes where I have the chance to do that again, and I would give anything right now to be out there on a sideline today."

"I would give anything to be out there on a sideline or a practice field today. So lean into it. Enjoy coaching today, because, like me, you never know when it could be taken away"

"In this moment right now. In this moment...I miss heading out to practice and coaching guys. If anything, it reinvigorates my love of the game, and my love of coaching, and I can't wait to see what I'm doing next."

It's only a minute-and-a-half or so of Rhule talking, but it's very clear that he's itching to get back on the sidelines, and soon.

Not only that, he seems wherever he lands, he's going to be an even better coach because of what he went through in Carolina.

The latest at Arizona State, which "might be the best job in college football in this cycle"

The Sun Devils' program is ripe with potential, per numerous college coaches

JOHN BRICE           11 HOURS AGO

Since 1997, Arizona State University has had just three seasons when its Sun Devils’ football team won 10 games.

Never anymore. And plenty of times the Sun Devils lost six, seven or eight games.

Don’t tell that to the college football coaching community. Don’t tell it to some of the country’s brightest prep football coaches and athletics trainers.

"It's the best job in this cycle ... right now," said a prominent college football assistant coach with College Football Playoff experience. 

The consensus? Arizona State might be the best big-time college football job in the current coaching cycle.

Where do things stand for the Sun Devils, who fired Herm Edwards earlier this season amidst lousy performances and an ongoing NCAA investigation into what are perceived as some of college football’s most egregious COVID-19-era recruiting violations?

Well, no Arizona State list starts without Kenny Dillingham. He’s an Phoenix, Arizona, native with deep and direct ties to the Sun Devils’ program and he’s orchestrated one of college football’s top offenses week after week after a season-opening loss to top-ranked Georgia in the first-ever game for Dan Lanning as a head coach.

An ASU grad who also coached prep football at Arizona powerhouse Chaparral, Dillingham also has coached previously at his alma mater, Arizona State, and coordinated offenses now at Memphis, Florida State and Oregon.

Who else has been mentioned aside from Dillingham? Former University of Houston and University of Texas coach Tom Herman, fired from the Longhorns’ post in some controversy, has emerged as a viable candidate for the Sun Devils, and multiple other openings in this cycle.

Additionally, former NFL star Deion Sanders, a College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee who’s guided Jackson State to a 22-2 record in his last 24 games as a head coach at the Football Championship Subdivision level, also has gotten some traction with the Arizona State job.

Now, could an NFL assistant coach fit at ASU or even former BYU and Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall? Perhaps.

But it seems that ASU has dialed in its focus on a narrower search.
