2015 Coaching Carousel

I'm very excited to see Harbaugh at Michigan. You know the rivalries against Meyer at OSU and Dantonio at MSU are going to be nasty. It is going to make for some fun theater.
 
My guess is that Anderson saw the opening at OSU and called them immediately. That happened so quick; he must have been looking to get the **** out of Wisconsin ASAP and took almost the first available job outside of the B1G.
 
Best hire? Worst hire? Underrated hire? Best hire is Gary Andersen at Oregon State, closely followed by Harbaugh to Michigan. Worst hire is Beaty to Kansas. Underrated hire is Narduzzi at Pitt. Thoughts.

I'd put the Sanchez hire at UNLV as the worst. Don't care how much he has won, HS isn't college. Beaty at Kansas may be terrible, an unqualified candidate, but we may never know because Kansas is such a train wreck I don't know of anyone who could do anything with it.

Anderson is a very good coach, underrated. At the same time the ceiling at Oregon State is pretty low, he must have really wanted to get away from Alvarez to jump on the Beavers job.

Chryst might be a pretty good coach but will Alvarez let him. Tough spot to be in.

All those $$$$$$ may make the Michigan job an impossible situation. They aren't very good right now. For that kind of money the fans may be expecting an Urban Meyer type of result immediately, a few losses and the honeymoon is over quickly.
 
best: Andersen and Harbaugh
worst: Sanchez and Beatty
underrated: I like the coordinators getting jobs: Narduzzi, Morris, and Herman.
 
really unhappy the 49ers couldn't work it out with harbaugh. Idots.

Word is even Harbaugh himself thinks he´s better suited to the college game where you have more turnover and don´t have the same players for more than 3-4 years. From everything I´ve heard that seemed to be one of the main issues with Harbaugh in San Francisco. Bit like Parcells. His methods just wear out after a while and are more effective in college.

Yea, but ****, he's good n stuff. His replacement has a .0001% chance of being as good or better. Also, the problem with this year's team wasn't him... it was an aging group of veterans along with an incredible run of injuries, especially to the LB corp.

It had to be him in a way. When there´s talk of growing unrest within the locker room and/or franchise with the HC before the first game of the season, he´s at least part of the problem. The injuries and suspension didn´t help, but I think something happened between Harbaugh and the front office last offseason and it was all downhill from there. Whether that could´ve been repaired and who is to blame for that is anyone´s guess, but remember that I did have my doubts about the Niners this season before the first game and the Harbaugh reports were part of it.

And the implosion resulted in an 8-8 season, not exactly a train wreck by NFL standards. Especially considering that it was by far his worst year in SF. I think the SF senior management/ownership let ego get in the way and will regret losing him.

THIS. His QB regressed - and obviously wasn't one of those who didn't like him. His veteran OL got ****ty or hurt or both. His LBs all got hurt. Then their replacements got hurt. etc etc.

And he still went 8 and 8 in the toughest division in football. Not bad for a worst case scenario. This was a front office dick swinging contest, and the FO ****ed up. Just like when they fired Mooch.

I´d agree with that. You definitely can´t say the players quit on him, but his flirtation with the Cleveland job and his insistence on becoming the highest paid coach in football probably rubbed some people the wrong way.

I don´t think Harbaugh is a nice guy to be working with, but he gets results. All depends on how much you´re willing to put up with for that. Think that´s the bottom line.

When you look at the state of the Niners franchise before Harbaugh came on board and look at them now, I guess you can legitimately argue Harbaugh was one of the reasons why they finally managed to go ahead with their stadium project, so it´d be rather ridiculous if money truly was the main issue and reason for their fallout here.

Good thing the NFL isn't a results oriented business. Yorks are stupid.
 
Tyson Summers as DC at csu - sounds like a decent hire for them looking at his bio.

glad everyone else is able to fill positions. Hopefully will be worth the wait and not left behind

1. Fire HC that has you in or almost in SB 3/4 years.
2. Throw now former HC under bus as classless.
3. Watch high quality new candidates come running!
 
There's only 32 head coaching spots. That said, the niners will probably downgrade because I think harbough is a top 5 coach.

I can't remember a head coach in the college ranks leaving for ego issues. I'm sure it's happened, but fans would erupt. A lot of usc fans still clamor for carrol and he left them in a bind.

Class and Jim Harbaugh don't go together from what I've seen with him.
 
Michigan has officially called for a Tuesday press conference.

Is this the biggest hiring since Saban left the Dolphins to go to Alabama? And what was the biggest one before that?
 
Mike stoops to be fired after this game. Bob to follow? Turrible showing

For some reason, I don't remember a lot of hype around Spurrier going to South Carolina, but that may have been it. I seem to remember a feeling that he was burned out, and South Carolina would be his ease into retirement gig with getting to golf at Augusta and all that.

And Urban to Florida was a big deal.

Urban to Florida was huge in part because Notre Dame was pursuing him as well. Remember a pretty big media circus.
 
Meh. I would have a hard time firing someone over a bowl game performance.

I could see some changes made. I'm surprised bringing Mike back hasn't turned out better. I thought their defense regressed under Vennables after Mike left originally, but here's Vennables showing them up at Clemson.
 
Bob won't get fired, but OUs defense is not good. Can he fire his brother?
