2024-25 Coaching Carousel

Jordan Love went to Utah State.
Well then there you have it. I just don’t know why a guy would succeed at Utah State and not at CSU
Seems like you are off this morning. Jay Norvell coached at Nevada with a QB named Carson Beck.
Guess you need to hit up the coffee pot this AM.
**** me. Sorry I meant why would Jay Norvell succeed at Nevada and not at CSU.
Nevada played in the weaker West division of the MWC. You had Hawaii, SJSU, Frenso, UNLV (before their current HC arrived), and SDSU in the division.
CSU has been underperforming relative to their recruiting rankings within the MWC for quite sometime.
TL;DR
It sucks to be a csu ram.
yea, why do we care about this conversation at all at this point? CSU is now completely irrelevant for 6 years or something.
You’ll be singing a different tune when Cheap Shot University is playing Idaho in the PAC-12 championship game at the Fargo Dome.

Jon Gruden just done an interview with CBS stating he wants to be a college coach
He needs more buyout money already?
Florida. Super Bowl with the Bucs makes him a big deal in FL. And UF has shown a complete willingness to look the other way if you win, as they showed with Urban.
I'm so convinced this is the move that my only question is whether they wait until after the season is over to replace Napier with Gruden.

Urban was a relative cleanskin when UF hired him, it was UF that corrupted him
My favorite part of the Carousel is when fans of a team convince themselves they would have a shot at hiring Coach Prime. The backtracking and scrubbing of their previous hater takes is delicious. Almost as delicious as the next level hater they then reach when they accept that it's never going to happen.
His career was like a rocket ship after his success at North Texas parlayed into the USC gig.
Walters will have to give Cory Patterson a try as play caller, and he will not likely do any better.
Ryan is on thin ice for keeping his job much longer if he has another 4-8 or worse season

Following a guy who figured out how to win there in Jeff Brohm isn't helping him.Walters will have to give Cory Patterson a try as play caller, and he will not likely do any better.

Mike Norvell's seat got a little warmer last night. FSU no-showed.
Firing Walters cost Purdue $14 Million and firing Norvell costs $85 Million

Walters would be a guy I would totally bring back as corners coach if he's canned. You guys are going to make fun of me because he's an alum, but if I can get a guy who has been a Broyles Award finalist on staff I'm doing it.
Oh heck yeah, he is a brilliant DC and Corners Coach, and has a couple really good staffers on his staff
Prime needs to go the Saban Rehab Coaching system, bring in as many fired high quality coaches as possible, especially if you do good offset contracts

Shurmur got hired as an analyst last year. I'm sure that's an option for Walters as well. I'm rooting for them, but that offense was putrid yesterday.
They may not win another game-their win is over an FCS team. They've had Notre Dame drop 66 on them. They had trouble doing anything against the Nubs. That's quickly approaching Embree level bad.
If he gets fired, he will get offered DC jobs the second that happens
His defensive scheme is not easy to play and he doesn't have flexible mind to make it work for guys he has.
His system in illinois is 3-4 based tight man. This system requires great NT, and a bunch of great CBs. Illinois happened to have those in his years there, all of their secondaries went to NFL afterwards.
Check out his defense in Purdue, it's awful. Because he doesn't adapt his system to Purdue's personnel.
I understand the obsession with our alumni on this board, but personally, I think Livingston is a much better DC than Walters, at least on college level.
Walters was very successful as a defensive coordinator at both Missouri and Illinois. It's why he ascended so quickly to being a P4 head coach.
It has nothing to do with him being an alumni at CU. That is simply stating a fact. It could simply mean he's not good at organizing it as the head man at this point in his career.

Walters would benefit from a few more years under a successful head coach. Learning how to manage a program is difficult task especially in this Wild West period. If there is a program that would allow him to the essentially act as the head coach of the defense it would be the ideal situation.
I forgot his stint in Missouri. Yes, he did a pretty good job there as well. That makes it even stranger given how awful Purdue's D is.
I am not even talking about the talent level, their D scheme is vanilla and unsound. There are holes everywhere. It's a mess.

I think Embree would have lost to Indiana State.
