2024-25 Coaching Carousel
- Thread starter BuffBronco
- Start date
Gundy gone before CU hosts them.
I think he came unglued. That black dye curly hair was weird.
Why bother? It’s only two more games. They can fire him on the plane ride home, but it seems to me that he’s earned the right to coach out the season. Dude has been there a long time and won a lot of games.
If they're parting ways, it will be interesting to see how cordial it is. I'm hoping for more drama than "mutual decision with a generous contract settlement" since that would be nowhere near juicy enough.

Gundy is definitely spiteful enough to go the full dickhead route.
Because he’s spiteful and toxic and his team has quit on him. Cancers need to be removed.

I remember Bob Simmons going to Okie State after all of drama behind Neuheisel replacing Mac instead of Bob
I don’t think Simmons did that well.
Edit:
Went to Wiki to check his HC record and there is a wild section included.
Father's shooting
[edit]In the spring of 2005, Kinne's father, who was also his coach at Canton High, was shot in the chest by the disgruntled parent of one of the players he coached. According to police reports, Jeff Doyal Robertson, the father of a player who had often complained to coaches and administrators regarding the way his son was treated, walked into the Canton Fieldhouse and shot Coach Kinne at point blank range. Robertson then fled in his pickup truck and headed east towards Tyler, Texas. Kinne Sr. was on the phone with another coach who was at another school when he was shot. Kinne Jr. was taken by police into protective custody, and then told that his father had died when in fact he had survived despite being given only a 10% chance to live.[3][4] Robertson was later apprehended in an area north of Tyler near Interstate 20 where he had slashed his wrists in an apparent suicide attempt. Robertson was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.[5]

FSU fans think they must have an OC hire set because that QB flipped to them yesterday and they think it’s Brennan Marion.

I'm a ****ty troll
Agree with Marcello, I do not anticipate too much HCing movement in the P-4 this year, outside of retirements or coaches jumping to the NFL (a total mixed bag). Mack Brown looks like he is coming back too. Firing assistants, OC, and DC appears the general path being used. Changing HCs carries too much dead money (pay off coach + ACs, potential buy-out for new coach), more $$ for new coach & assistants, and the team loses a good portion of their players to the TP. This can be the players, but also new HCs flipping their roster. Then there is is NIL factor. Also, the timing is bad too given the early signing period and quick portal.
Bringing in a great new coach these days, probably requires the new HC bringing their entire recruiting/TP evaluation infrastructure for with him early (i.e. yet more $$$) to be competitive on the upcoming market, plus having AC's on staff. Otherwise, a long rebuild. For P-4 teams, changing HCs these days is a very expensive endeavor requiring tons of investment. New coaches are not without risk--ask LSU, USC, Aurburn and others. On the funny side, AZ fans/media are already calling for Brennen.
CBSSports listed College HC vacancies a few days ago: 12 from G-5 conferences, 0 from power 4.

Concerning Lincoln Riley, personally, I think that Jen Coach (AD) probably partly orchestrated USC's NCAA investigation, hoping something was pinned on Riley so they could fire for-cause and negotiate a much smaller buy-out. They were probably po'd with the outcome.

Good for them. I want FSU fat, happy, and winning 9-10 games every year as long as we still have Prime. Plus we desperately need schools in the B12 and ACC that can challenge for playoff wins if we don’t want the SEC and B1G to cut us out.
I can't decide why I am totally uninterested in this thread this year.
I think it's a combination of two things:
1. I'm very happy with our coach, so I'm uninterested in seeing what might be possible for us.
2. I just care about what's happening on the field and how it might impact our bowl / cfp situation.

I’m totally uninterested in the NFL this year, and the polar opposite with college football. The NFL is boring and predictable, while the college game and the Buffs are so much better.
I check in here to bathe in schadenfreude after the last 2 decades of being on the wrong side of the carousel

Lashlee extended at SMU. He's done a fantastic job. Well deserved.

ACC-leading SMU signs Lashlee to extension
Rhett Lashlee has signed a contract extension with SMU as the Mustangs remain undefeated in ACC play and in position to make its first playoff appearance.
There is also the mistake of thinking great football player means great coach.
To make it in the NFL you have to work hard and study hard, can't just make it on athletic ability and have long term success.
What people don't understand though about Sanders is that he took that study to another level. He was already another level athlete but he worked as hard at learning both his position and everything he could about the whole game as anyone. In some ways he was a Payton Manning at CB.
He took both that knowledge and that willingness to work and study with him into coaching.
There is a long list of guys who were great players that failed as coaches. One of the issues is that many were such great athletes, such naturals at the game that they don't even know how they did things and certainly couldn't communicate it to average players.
Deion was one of the greatest pure athletes to ever play the game but he worked and studied and learned like one of those guys who really isn't quite good enough but hangs on for a career because of hard work and intelligence.
Does it elaborate on WTF the police told the kid his dad was dead?
I've not seen the show, but is it not pretty clear that it was a mistake and the police thought he was dead?
I see no other scenario on what motive police may have had... Stop being such a Hokie
What is a Hokie? A person who consistently misses the obvious?

Seeing as how it’s probably the NFL, I can’t imagine that would be a problem
The buyout money would still be better than him walking
Right. I’m saying an NFL team won’t care to pay the buyout, regardless of what it is
Ha
The last 3 weeks probably mean Jeff Grimes' name will be hot in this thread. He was much discussed in the post Kardboard search thread that just got necro'd the other day.
