Official 2016 Coaching Carousel Thread - How safe is Kevin Sumlin´s job?

I thought they'd go Mullen. But it does make sense from the standpoint that programs usually hire someone different than they guy they got rid of.

Got rid of an offensive guy/QB guru... hire the defensive guy. Got rid of the outsider who was going to bring in fresh ideas... hire someone with ties to the program's history. Got rid of the player's coach... hire a disciplinarian. Got rid of a former coordinator... hire someone with HC experience. I need to keep that in mind when making my picks on who a program is going to hire.

In Georgia's case, though, wouldn't they have to say that Richt was very successful but that it had simply run its course after 15 years? I'd think that would make them more likely to go back to the same well. In which case, Smart makes more sense to me (i.e., hire the top long-term coordinator at the most successful program, but go defense this time instead of offense to shake things up).

I'm hearing reports now that Richt played QB at Miami.
 
Heard that Richt wants to get back to "calling plays and coaching Quarterbacks". People speculating that an OC job could be in his future.

Hey CU has one of those positions, and Richt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lindgren. just sayin. He supposedly lived in Broomfield as well!

Yeah, that'd be a dream scenario having one of the more successful SEC coaches over the past decade running our offense and bringing in top QB recruits.
 
5 year contract for Helton at USC

Kind of surprising ... they keep Helton, but didn't Orgeron have a better record as an interim HC, and they threw him under the bus to do the "home-run hire" of Sarkisian?
 
Will Muschamp seems to be the new front runner for South Carolina. SEC ADs are strange.

He can recruit and that it the only way South Carolina can keep up with the other teams in the division. Don't think it will happen though.
 
Agree. I am just pointing out what they are probably thinking, they are going to need a serious recruiter to go against Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Clemson consistently.
Well, then I guess they need to decide if they want to win football games or recruiting ranking wars. Because Will Muschamp has proven to be a pathetic head coach.
 
Horrible hire IMO.

I don't know if I read this right, but my impression from watching the sidelines at Auburn is that Muschamp created chemistry issues with the coaching staff just like he did previously at Texas. Ego too big to accept his place as the #2 on a staff.
 
Been curious if the natives are getting restless in College Station.
Good article here after the LSU loss. Sounds like our offense, but with a lot more talent.

Sumlin won big in year 1 with the last guys' team. He's now 6-2, 4-4, 3-5, 4-4 in the SEC. His recruiting classes were rated 15, 11, 6, and 10 on Rivals.
 
aTm is paying $5 million a year for very mediocre results. It won't last much longer.
 
Sorry if late, but I'm not sure Richt wants to really be a HC again immediately. Seems to be in a "get back to the roots" type of mindset.
 
Football scoop just said Missouri AD headed out to Colorado today. Do we think he is interviewing Bobo or Leavitt?
