Official 2016 Coaching Carousel

Won't dance around it. Young, successful, black head coaches are hard to find. Taggart is a potential game changer in that regard.

Kiffin has fallen up to every job he has ever had.
Taggart's favorite play is the Ol' Number 6, if I'm not mistaken. Come to think of it, he might be a better fit at **** bailer.
 
Of the three listed above, Briles would be the most outstanding fit IMO. Like scummy Petrino, this would represent a homecoming for a tarnished former HC. Offensively, it is a perfect match. Recruiting-wise, not many hit all of Texas HS like Briles. Plus, Houston is a win now team. They've got a nice mix of younger and experienced talent.

BTW, most of the bigger football schools in TX DGAF about being scummy. Hell, many of them helped write the "how to" book!
 
Reset:
Another info consolidation

Open jobs:

1. Purdue- Darrell Hazell fired. Names: Troy Calhoun of AFA (he has since denied), former LSU HC Les Miles (OUT OF THE PICTURE), Jacksonville Jag OC Greg Olson. P.J. Fleck is apparently target number one.
2. San Jose St. Ron Carragher fired. Brian Lindgren? Marcus Arroyo, OK St. RB coach a leading candidate
3. Florida Atl. U- fired Charlie Partridge, Jim Leavitt, Mario Cristobal, and Randy Shannon mentioned.
4. Nevada- Brian Polian out. Marques Tuiasosopo, Chris Klenakis, Louisville CO-OC mentioned.
5. Oregon- Helfrich out. Willie Taggart of USF, a leading candidate, Scott Frost has come out stating he is not a candidate. Sparkles says he is not in contact (which means his agent is talking to them every hour on the hour), Chip Kelly says no thanks, Bryan Harsin, Greg Schiano, P.J. Fleck, Kyle Whittingham, Philip Montgomery, James Franklin, Larry Fedora all being mentioned.
6. Baylor- Grobe will not return. h/t buffedup. Chad Morriss, mentioned, but staying at SMU. Names: Don't know, but something tells me Dykes may be on their radar, reports Les Miles has spoken with the crazy Baptists. Chad Morriss(OUT OF THE PICTURE), Dino Babers and, according to some MikMac himself. Larry Fedora in the mix. UPDATE: Cal's Sonny Dykes is a serious candidate and has interviewed with the new Baylor AD when he was at UH.

Jobs filled:

1. Fresno- Jeff Tedford gets the job, mid-season. Good hire, but the timing is weird. Of note, D II Danny applied and interviewed for the gig, according to the Fresno Bee.
2. FIU- Butch Davis takes the FIU gig. 5 year deal and all the Banana Boat products he wants. HaLk is the OC, [insert laugh track here].
3. LSU- Ed Orgeron takes the job when Herman's price was apparently to high. Jimbo stays at FSU.
4. UT- Herman to UT. Strong's firing wasn't even out of the AD's mouth before Herman was emptying HCCS' desk...looks like this was in the works for a while. UT apparently talked to Jimbo, Dabo and John Harbaugh.

Secondary openings:

1. UH- Herman hits the road, no names yet, search firm hired. Lane Kiffin, Art Briles

Highly probable openings:


1. IU- Kevin Wilson is rumored to be out. (h/t unionbuff)

Other news: Doeren safe at NCST with the win over UNC.
DII Danny takes the reins at UC-Davis
I expect a handful of other jobs to open, mdelpizzo1 has a pretty good list a few pages back.....​

You can consider Baylor open. Grobe has publicly stated that he talked to the AD and is not returning next year, and he doesn't expect the assistants to return either.
 
I would LOL harder than sports have ever made me laugh if Oregon is seriously considering Philip Montgomery. That's the type of coaching hire that would be foolishly chasing the Chip years imo.
 
Didn't the last Illinois coach get axed for rushing injured players back on the field? Tim Beckman?
