2024-25 Coaching Carousel

Outside of it maybe being a little easier to recruit there, I’m not seeing a huge difference between WVU and ISU.

Here is my favorite website to compare teams all time

 
Florida keeping Napier through 2025.


Not too surprising since it's been trending that way recently going 3-2 over their last 5 including a win over UCF, an OT loss to Tennessee on the road and they played Georgia very tough. And they quite possibly would have beat Georgia if Lagway hadn't gotten hurt.

They're about to pop!
 

Speculation that the financial uncertainty surrounding the settlement would cause this year to be a less crazy carousel looks to be reality.

Interesting that this may also be resulting in changes to ADs & universities not being as willing to sign lopsided deals which give coaches guaranteed contracts.
Good. There are only a handful of coaches in the country who deserve a massive buyout, and those are the guys who are unlikely to be fired with a ton of money left on their contract anyways.
 
So this means several more years of Matt Rhule, then?

I’m still perplexed - how is this the same money?

I read today Todd Golden's under investigation for sexually harassing UF female students on social media.

That may make Napier next year's problem for Scott Stricklin.

Settlement will be owed by universities and their athletics departments. That comes from the same budgets which coach compensation comes from. Therefore, there is a lot of financial uncertainty right now and schools are averse to adding dead money by firing a coach or adding a long-term liability via a guaranteed contract with large buyout.

Sure, I get that. But how does that affect how much the players are getting from NIL?

No part of what I posted referenced NIL.

The only place that comes in is that it's the basis for the lawsuit they're trying to settle. Allegation is that the names, images and likenesses were used to promote college sports for years, significant revenues were realized from that business practice, and the players did not receive appropriate compensation.

A lot of uncertainty for universities right now.

They do have the payouts from the settlement hanging out there. They are also facing down the question of will they have to pay their athletes at least minimum wage even in the non-revenue sports, and along with that all of the associated cost like empoyment taxes, SSI, workman's comp (which due to the nature of sport will be very expensive,) long-term health cost, etc. then the implications from title IX. If they are paying mostly males in revenue producing sports more will they have to match that for females, and how does NIL fit in if the coaches are coordinating it even if payments aren't directly from the AD.

Then the big issue with NIL. In order to generate NIL funds, even if they are going through a collective which isn't legally a part of the AD, those funds are coming from donors who in the past were donating directly to the AD. It is going to be interesting to see the numbers on the decline in donations as money moves towards the players.

Agree with your post above. A few elite coaches are still going to get (and have earned) large long-term contracts. I think with few exceptions these will be second and beyond contracts with schools. First time coaches and even coaches moving up from lower levels are going to be making less and have significantly lower guarantees. We may even start seeing guarantees tied to certain benchmarks. Win 8 or more per year and the guarantee is X, 10 or more and it is Y, playoffs or conference champions it is Z. Win less than 8 in two consequitive years and it drops to Q.
 
It's going to be interesting to see how much FSU talent enters the portal on Dec 9th (portal open from 12/9-12/28 this year).
It's absolutely insane that the portal opens the day after CCGs.

How that affects the portal for the CFP teams will be fascinating.

Imagine the backup QB of a CFP team entering the portal, and then the starter for that team going down. The window closes before the quarter finals.

The NCAA is so wildly incompetent, they are long overdue for euthanasia.

Just a question because I don't know. Is the NCAA investigating anybody right now? If the answer is yes, how long? Fvcking 7 years? :ROFLMAO: They are a joke.
 

Kennesaw State dismissed Brain Bohannon...only football coach they have had since launching the program.


FWIW, Northern Iowa's Mark Farley who has been there for 24 seasons is retiring.


Mark Stoops isn't retiring.
I see one of several names being kicked around for the Northern Iowa job is..........Scott Frost.

I think he started his coaching career there.
