That's not only a fireable offense, it should be an automatic termination.Things in Gainesville are not great:
A little hard to tell, but a Florida assistant slapped a LSU player pregame.
(Somehow that only warranted a three-game suspension)
Rightfully so. Unless he brings Diego and unlimited eligibility.
There's the guy they call the dentist. He's been on, or messaged them on the instant reaction pods they do on Saturday nights. He's a Vandy booster.
I was mostly making a joke, but they are a little more positive on Vandy than seems warranted.

Mel Tucker said he wasn’t leaving.
Lol, I was actually just searching for the thread.
Looks like VT making a move as well.
VT should be able to attract a good coach. I believe I saw where they are making a bigger investment into their program. They realize they are right near that cutoff line between the have's and the have-not's, kind of like us. And they have great support, good crowd at kickoff today despite being 0-3 and playing FCS Wofford
Realistically, Dabo cannot be fired.
You don't think 1-11 would do it? We know that would come with a lot of theatrics. Even 2-10, 3-9 or 4-8 would be hard to get through. Things can snowball quickly.
Who would they hire? Dabo has given that program wildly outsized expectations due to his success.
There are no real built-in advantages with that program.
Pretty sure SMU can pay more than UCLA, lol.
I agree that he should be untouchable and that he's had success at Clemson beyond what anyone should reasonably achieve.
But I would say that being located halfway between Charlotte and Atlanta is not the worst spot to be recruiting from. Great booster support, too. So there are some built in advantages.
Plus they’d owe him $60 million, which would really cap their upside with any new coach.
It is great for what football used to be. It is not great in the NIL era.

Dabo has the job until the contract ends at a minimum for monetary and legacy reasons. His peak occurred when the two biggest programs in his conference were a mess and won the QB lottery twice with Pro Bowl level QBs. It is unlikely everything falls into place like that again. I could see a mutual parting of the ways at the end of the contract to maintain the prestige of his run.
This, and after next year it only goes down to $57 million. It will take a few years of being down before they run him out of town. They're spoiled right now but they need to keep in mind what Dabo has done for them before deciding to move on. It's happened with Tennessee, Nebraska, etc.

I woke up today and Sam Pittman was still head coach. F.
He's two late fumbles away from them being 4-0 and being ranked.
Rough way to lose back to back road games.

Agree with the fumbles, but if you go back to last year, it was same thing.
HOWEVER…THIS is what concerns me more than any of that:
After the fumble
- Memphis took over on the 7
- Arkansas had all 3 timeouts

Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman's answers after a deflating loss to Memphis don't pass even the most basic of smell tests.

Yeah. I'd be shocked if he's the OSU coach in 2026. But maybe this is a function of him being a lifer and program legend, so it's probable that he wouldn't be fired during the season.
I'm wondering if teams (Florida and Okie Lite namely) are holding off until week 5 or 6, so less guys are able to redshirt when that coaching change bonus transfer portal opens up.
I think when Okie Lite is 1-8 heading into their off week, they'll fire Gundy.
I bet he makes it until they are mathematically eliminated from a bowl and then gets fired.
They will not fire him. After the season, they will forcefully ask him to retire to a cushy job in the AD.
Maybe even a negotiated buyout so that it's "mutual" and then he moves into an Ambassador role like Bob Stoops did. This isn't a bridge that anyone involved should want to see burned. As a CU fan, I saw this type of thing get handled the wrong way when Bohn fired GB and it divided the boosters & program alums for years.
