2023-24 Coaching Carousel (Fitzgerald out, DC Braun interim at Northwestern)

[SINKRATZ]

I doubt he’s in jeopardy this year barring a disaster but with a new AD in South Bend, a couple bad home losses last year, an underwhelming OC hire after losing Rees to Bama, and in the midst of renegotiating their deal with NBC is Marcus Freeman under a little more pressure this year?

That is an interesting scenario for sure.

 

[Big Jim]

Could also see Mack Brown retiring.

Sometime in the past 10 years.

 

[Buffnik]

Not sure hot seat is the correct term but if Iowa doesn’t have a solid season Ferentz could retire. I just can’t see him scapegoating his son

When your fans enter a certain dark place where your coach used to regularly sign recruiting classes in the top 20, the end is near.

Is Prime “recrootin” the right guys

Say that like Gomer Pyle

 

[MiamiBuffs]

Think about it- he could teach those players a brand new language.

Gravelish has many accents

 

[SeanMSan]

Dear Baby Jesus,

Please make this happen.

He could show dem sissy tree nuts in C-bus a thing or two about a thing or two.

 

[BuffLuke80]

What language would that be?

 

[Buffnik]

What language would that be?

I don't think Coach O is actually speaking a language. It's just the way they call frogs and gators on the Bayou. The meaning is in the inflection.

 

[Not Sure]

Plus they have pretty high expectations with Hartman transferring in.

[hawg1]

Was he aware of lockerroom hazing?

 

[Burrito]

Was he aware of lockerroom hazing?

He took his dry humping like a boss!

 

[BuffBronco]

Was he aware of lockerroom hazing?

Braun arrived to Northwestern in January of this year, meaning he was not a member of the staff when the alleged hazing incidents took place. Before that he served as the defensive coordinator at North Dakota State.

Hell of a step up

 

[patebuff]

I think Jimbo is in trouble if Sark has the expected big year at UT if aTm doesn't also have a big year themselves

Down to 70 million if fired this year

 

[patebuff]

Tom Allen probably should be on here. He has been awful the last two years.

I had that one.

I'm not sure Tom Allen can afford another bad season at Indiana. And it's hard to find wins for them in the B1G East. I have trouble seeing more than 4 wins.

 

[Da Lama]

Another 1-11 season incoming with a hard fought win vs Howard at home for that lone victory.

 

[Goose]

2-10. You missed 10/21/23 on the schedule.

 

[patebuff]

I had that one.

 

[pmoney52]

Another 1-11 season incoming with a hard fought win vs Howard at home for that lone victory.

I wish this all transpired in the summer of 2026. Ticket prices would be (probably still will be) rock bottom when the Buffs come to Evanston. Keep sucking NW.

Any chance VT dumps Brent Pry with another bad year?

Doubt it after just 2 seasons unless by bad you mean like 2 or 3 wins bad

Yeah like as bad as they were last year. This could be a quiet carousel.

Texas might be another possible change. Sark needs to win 10 games this season IMO.

Lol, no.

No, we don't have the money.

And recruiting is starting to show a glimmer of hope (only a glimmer).

I think the o/u for VTs win total this year is 3.5

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Ouch

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Another 6-6 season will probably put Napier on the hot seat

VT should hope that Beamer is successful, but not too successful, so you can lure him from South Carolina in a few years like Louisville did with Brohm.
