Why did Auburn not go after Fickell instead? Much better coach and you have to think they could outbid Wisconsin

I'd imagine a combination of not hiring an out-of-region G5 coach like they did last time, proven SEC experience, and Fickell personally wanting to stay in the Midwest.

Matt Campbell to Cincinnati would be......odd.

To me, that doesn't even seem like a lateral move, despite the successes that Cincinnati has had in recent  years.

 

 

Yeah, especially since Campbell's name had been thrown around for some pretty high profile jobs over the past few years.

His agent threw his name out there for every job possible. No one is a better promoter of Matt Campbell than Matt Campbell. The guy just took a big, steaming dump all over Ames and is still trying to create buzz for his brand.

Weird as hell. Local guy, won the Fremont Cannon this year, and the rebuild seemed to be on schedule.

 

Apparently Arroyo was hired by UNLV's previous AD, and he didn't see eye to eye with the current AD.

They had a strong APR and a chance to win their first bowl game since 2000. Sad ending to one of the better success stories of the year.

Ha. Please let this happen. It is gratifying on every possible level. 

1) The ISU fans spoke with fervent and frequent certainty that Campbell was just happy to be in Ames, hanging out as the regular old joe coaching those Cyclones. 

2) Campbell winding up with this kind of gig instead of one with the Detroit Lions or P5s that came knocking is a fun comeuppance.

3) I'm always entertained by other Big 12 programs having their pants pulled down in public. They're always all too happy to laugh at mean old Texas, so sure, give it to me.

@Al_4_ISU and his ilk are about to arrive on this thread, climbing over each other to inform you that Matt Campbell, unassuming average joe that he is, doesn't even have an agent, sir. Now you've done it.

As noted on Split Zone Duo, Auburn doesn’t even have a Catholic Grade School for the Super Catholic Coach closing in on double digit kids. Not an issue in Madison. (Or in Lincoln for that matter)

Justin Carrigan will step down as head football coach at UT Permian Basin following seven years with the Falcons.

Carrigan was hired as the program’s first head coach in early 2015 and departs with a 26-45 overall record, including a 5-6 record in 2022. The Falcons were close to finishing towards the top of the Lone Star Conference this season, but last-minute losses to West Texas A&M (28-27), Texas A&M-Kingsville (13-10), and Midwestern State (24-23) derailed what would've been another historic season for the Falcons.

This year was the first season since beginning the football program that Carrigan and his staff were fully funded with 36 scholarships. For most of his tenure, Carrigan had only 12 scholarships available. The program played for most of its first seven years without a locker room and other facilities until the D. Kirk Edwards Family Human Performance Center was completed in the Fall of 2020.

David Shaw was a sorry ass overrated loser Head Coach.  Got fuckin' tired of seeing powder puff/sniffing $9.95er west coast pieces of shit blow smoke up his ass.

Also, TREE SUCKS !!!

Berkeley is one of my favorite non-Texas teams and I still think this is weird. Dude had 5 or so good years and lost his touch, but was still widely considered a great guy. Cutcliffe-ian trajectory at a younger age.

Lutz on Bailiff in their new candidates list. 😋

A look at the Texas State search

Texas State has little history of success and infrastructure to build a sustained winning program at the FBS level, compared to its neighbors. But what the Bobcats do have: lots of interest from qualified coaches with local ties.

ZACH BARNETT               11 HOURS AGO

Quote

Once upon a time, when yours truly was a college student, I met a peer that attended Texas State. I asked this gentleman if he enjoyed attending the school, and he said he did. When followed up to explain what it was he enjoyed about the school, this young man, name forgotten to history, replied, "Because it's so close to Austin and San Antonio."

While this nameless traveler's experience is surely not shared by everyone in San Marcos (30 miles south of Austin, 50 miles north of San Antonio), the results on the football field are indicative of a program that has struggled to build enough organic support to compete at the FBS level.

In 11 seasons in college football's highest subdivision, Texas State has recorded one winning season. In that season (2014), the 7-5 Bobcats were passed over for a bowl bid.

Such is life in San Marcos, who is now on its fourth try to find the coach to bring sustained, big-time success to the banks of the San Marcos River.

In speaking with multiple industry sources, FootballScoop believes these are among the candidates to replace Jake Spavital at Texas State, presented in alphabetical order.

David Bailiff: If Texas State is looking to create sustained success, it could turn to the last person to bring glory days to San Marcos. Bailiff was Texas State's head coach from 2004-06 and led the Bobcats to the 2005 FCS semifinals. That sprung him to Rice, where he won 57 games and a Conference USA title in three seasons. Bailiff is a Texas State alum, although a 64-year-old who was just let go at FCS Texas A&M-Commerce could be a tough sell for a program looking to find an identity in FBS

Colby Carthel: If prior head coaching success is a prerequisite for Texas State brass, Carthel may represent the sweet spot between the 60-somethings and 30-somethings on this list. The 46-year-old is a lifelong Texan, the son of former West Texas A&M head coach Don Carthel (son keeps father on staff as a special teams analyst), and has a proven track record of success. Carthel is 82-40 with nine winning seasons in 10 tries. He led Texas A&M-Commerce to the Division II national title in 2017 and shared the WAC title at Stephen F. Austin this fall. Unlike rival Sam Houston, SFA has no immediate plans to join FBS, so Texas State would represent Carthel's first opportunity to lead an FBS program. 

KC Keeler: Keeler, 63, is a professional head football coach in every sense of the word. This season marks his 30th as a head coach, most of them at the FCS level, with 265 career wins and 17 playoff appearances. His teams have played for three national titles and won two, most recently in the spring of 2021. After years of coveting an FBS job, though, Keeler finally brought the FCS to him: Sam Houston joins Conference USA next season. Without that card to play, would Keeler leave his stable situation in Huntsville for a rebuild at Texas State? 

GJ Kinne: Kinne, who turns 34 this week, is one of the fastest risers in coaching. He entered the profession as a GA at SMU in 2017, and has garnered a promotion each following winter. That now finds him as the head coach at nearby Incarnate Word, where he's 10-1 in his first season. His Cardinals lead FBS in passing efficiency and scoring offense. In the immediate term, Kinne is focused on UIW's second-round playoff game with Furman this coming Saturday. In the long term, Texas State could face competition from richer suitors. Also, after jettisoning a 30-something offensive minded head coach, would Texas State turn around and hire a 30-something offensive minded head coach?

Curtis Luper: One of two coaches on this this list without head coaching experience, Luper was a finalist for jobs at New Mexico and UTSA. He's a Texas native and a former Texas high school coach who brings a wealth of Power 5 experience at Oklahoma State, Auburn, TCU and, now, Missouri. 

Eric Morris: Morris, 37, left Texas Tech's staff to take over at Incarnate Word, where his 2021 team won the Southland Conference and an FCS playoff game. That success spring-boarded the 2022 UIW team's success, as well as Morris to the Washington State offensive coordinator job. Working with QB Cam Ward, who transferred to Pullman alongside Morris, the Cougars are in the top 40 in passing offense and went 7-5 this season. 

Barrick Nealy: Nealy does not have the coaching experience of the others on this list -- 2022 marked his first on-the-field job as a college assistant, as UTEP's assistant head coach and running backs coach -- but he does have something the others do not. Nealy is, arguably, the most important player in Texas State's modern history, earning Southland Conference player of the year honors in 2005. Nealy spent 2011-17 coaching at San Marcos Academy. Given his lack of experience relative to the rest of this list, it feels more likely he'd return as a staff member than head coach. 

Scotty Walden: Walden is also one of the fastest risers in the industry, dating back nearly a decade when he was profiled by this site after his Sul Ross State offense led the entire NCAA in yardage as a 22-year-old coordinator. Walden has quickly won over senior industry gate-keepers at each stop in his career: he went 7-3 as a 27-year-old head coach at East Texas Baptist, spent four games as the interim head coach at Southern Miss in 2020, and is now in Year 3 as the head coach at Austin Peay, where he has posted three winning records in as many tries and shared the ASUN title this fall. Walden is a Texas native who's passionate, connects with players, and will interview well; he may be the Texas version of Kenny Dillingham, or Kenny Dillingham may be the Arizona version of Scotty Walden. However, the same question that applies to Kinne also applies here.

Cincy Bearcat candidates all over the map.  This one is intriguing:

Alex Golesh, Offensive Coordinator, Tennessee
Golesh's stock is on the rise after helping Josh Heupel build one of the nation's top offenses at Tennessee. He also knows the state of Ohio well after graduating from Dublin Scioto High School and later Ohio State ('06). In addition to his current stint in Knoxville, Golesh has gathered a wealth of experience from stops at Toledo, Illinois, Iowa State and UCF. Golesh does not have any previous experience as a head coach.

And my AU friends are split down the middle - half love it because he beat Alabama twice once upon a time and the other half thinks it’s gross and beneath their university.

It’s definitely gross but not beneath them. It’s exactly who they are lol.

Hired a man they don’t trust with social media. Clown show.

I can just hear opposing coaches on the recruiting trail - “They don’t trust him to have a Twitter account. How can you trust him to look out for your son?”.

 

 

please, the kiff doesn't need social media to pick up hot coeds

Maybe I don’t remember the story fully, but didn’t he get caught calling an escort service? It’s dumb as hell for someone in his position, but better than picking up a coed or grad assistant. I’m sure beat Bama twice and a NY Day bowl win outrank that on the AD’s list.

If you want to burn the AD’s office down, it would seem that the vacated wins, bowl ban, and Level 1 violations would be a better place to start.
