Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn all look very ripe for an opening next offseason. Tom Herman or someone in a similar position will get an SEC bagman posted at the entrance to their subdivision.
Pop the champagne corks, Joey Freshwater has a new bar buddy.
I wonder if Mullen jumps this season assuming he can salvage it. He hasn't been able to recruit to Starksville well enough to consistently win unless he has a Dak level QB. Might be good to strike while the iron is still kinda hot.Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn all look very ripe for an opening next offseason.

He's too late, should have jumped last year.I wonder if Mullen jumps this season assuming he can salvage it. He hasn't been able to recruit to Starksville well enough to consistently win unless he has a Dak level QB. Might be good to strike while the iron is still kinda hot.
Most up and coming coaches keep an eye on what's graduating, and jump when they're poised for a fall. MacIntyre did it; Franklin did it. Not so sure what Mullen was thinking.He's too late, should have jumped last year.

That's a huge buyout though.Arkansas, too. But then Arky is strange. They always seem to open slow and then have a 3 week run late in the season where they look like world beaters and shut out Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss back to back to back.
Jimbo might be in some trouble...
Is Lane Kiffin doing enough at Alabama to get himself in the mix for one of the bigger P5 jobs again?
I recall Stoops at Kentucky being used as the blueprint for turnarounds here a few years back..
No. It was an argument that bad teams could recruit better than 2*'s with zero offersI recall Stoops at Kentucky being used as the blueprint for turnarounds here a few years back..
Joey just got himself a wingman.
Didn't Sarkisian's wife divorce him prior to getting fired? Joey will now have the place to take the ladies.
I can't believe that UK has one of the top 5 coaching budgets in the nation. Kentucky isn't exactly getting their money's worth.I recall Stoops at Kentucky being used as the blueprint for turnarounds here a few years back..
That team might go undefeated now lol.PJ Fleck looking good so far
Heard that, I was thinking around similar lines.Dez is on College Football Live saying that he wouldn't vote Alabama #1 because they beat up on an inferior opponent. Said that USC looked like a high school team. Wow. That's the kind of talk that will have the USC faithful going absolutely ape****. Helton better win against Utah State.
Aside from the first quarter, I think he's right. USC looked about as bad as they've ever looked in that game. Granted, Alabama is Alabama, but has USC ever been beaten that badly?Dez is on College Football Live saying that he wouldn't vote Alabama #1 because they beat up on an inferior opponent.

50 years ago was what I heard.
I can't imagine that there is an AD or university president in the country that would stand next to Briles at a press conference announcing his hiring.
"We have talked to many people and fully vetted Coach Briles. He is an honorable, Christian man who was never directly involved in any of the unfortunate incidents that occurred at Baylor. Those incidents have proven to be systemic to the university and led to the removal of its President. Coach Briles was in a position of responsibility and took the public criticism upon himself rather than see his assistant coaches be unfairly persecuted. I am confident that in Coach Art Briles we are hiring a man of supreme character who will lead our program for many years in a way in which we can all be proud."
Or something to that effect.
What the school's fans will hear: "Yada. Yada. Yada. We're gonna ****ing win!"
What everyone else will hear: "Yada. Yada. Yada. We're selling our souls to win."
Not much doubt there imho. Question I really have is does he leave the state of Texas? Honestly, I think it would be the best thing for him.Briles will be hired unless he gets hit with a show clause. 100% chance.
