Official 2017 Coaching Carousel Thread - Zona hires Sumlin

Frost has a way better resume than Embree. He may struggle at Nebraska, but he deserves a lot of the hype he is getting.
Coaches weigh in on whether Chip Kelly should go to Florida or UCLA
It looks like the unanimous thought is that UCLA is the better fit. He knows the Pac-12 landscape and with recruiting the prospects in the footprint will mostly come to him. But the biggest factor they bring up is that Kelly doesn't love the spotlight. In Los Angeles, he's one of many celebrities. He can go to dinner without having people rush his table for conversation and photos. In Gainesville, he is the biggest celebrity and everyone will want a piece of his time. He won't be able to have a private life. That doesn't suit him.
After reading that piece, I'm thinking that UCLA is the right choice for Kelly.

Yep. The only P5 program that would have even given Embree an interview, let alone hired him, was CU. Far from the case with Frost and his alma mater.
Frost is far more qualified to run a P5 program than Embree ever was and he is a pretty good recruiter. Nebraska has been pulling in top 25-30 recruiting classes the last 2-3 years and is probably on pace to do so again this year, with freaking Mike Riley as their HC and marginal success on the field. I'm afraid that Frost would elevate their recruiting even more, while being a much better coach.

Is this opinion or do you have inside information? Just curious.

"We're hearing Bobo is more of a serious candidate for the Ole Miss job than one might imagine. Ole Miss likes him, and they like the fact he has an SEC pedigree.We think he has emerged as a top-tier candidate for the job, maybe even in the top three. He is someone to pay attention to."
Lmao, what?
Following the Ole Miss search is amusing as their targets get worse and worse. Doesn't sound like MacIntyre's a real candidate anymore, hard to sell his record I guess. If Norvell chooses Ole Miss, he's crazy, he can do better.

Union's post about Montana made me think of another former DII HC. Craig Bohl won 3 straight national titles at NDSU and is a former husker. Guy is winning, albeit not incredibly, at Wyoming, and seems to be a solid coach. I wonder if he is in line for a job upgrade after next year, and if Nebraska has him in sights - not this year, but for when they fire their next HC.
Will he still be alive then? He’s no spring chicken.
Went 7-4, but lost to Montana State and missed FCS playoffs for 2nd straight year. His offensive ranks this year are the following:
Passing Offense - 11th/123 (305 ypg)
Rushing Offense - 60th (150 ypg)
Total Offense - 10th (455 ypg)
Scoring Offense - 17th (35 ppg)
Wouldn't mind him being brought in to replace Lindgren and coach QBs.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the previous coach got fired for losing and Stitt had a winning record there?
Stitt's offense: A River Runs Through It.

Delaney was his predecessor and at least made it to the playoffs. The last coach we all probably remember though is Pflugrad (before Delaney), who suffered from infractions from Bobby Hauck's tenure in addition to his own. The rape scandal happened under Pflugrad. If nothing else, people on these boards will remember his daughter, the Oregon cheerleader.

As long as you don't want him to recruit. He doesn't like doing it.
Stitt would be at the top of my list if CU decided to go in another direction at OC.
MM doesn't require his OC to recruit now (other than QB's), so it wouldn't be a problem.
So a possible step up from Lindgren!

Interesting. Most of those names are not going to Ole Miss given the NCAA hammer hanging over the Rebels' head. I think one of the lesser lights will end up with the job there, Calhoun, Bobo, Hopson, Brown, and yes, MikMac are most likely.
Not sure how long he's been there but 7-4 the last three years including this year. And one of those losses each year is the annual body bag victim to an FBS team (this year it was Washington).
7-4 (or 3 depending how you look at it) is a pretty good record in my book. Either the Grizzlies have really high expectations (I have no idea if they are justified or not in having higher expectations), or something else is going on.
Just some brief reading on it and missing the FCS playoffs two straight years, along with losing to Montana State two straight years is the biggest issue. First time they've missed the playoffs for 2 straight years since 1991 and 1992.

Would be endless 4-8 or 5-7 seasons. Maybe the occasional 6-6 bull****.
Craig bohl was the defensive coordintor responsible for our 62-36 beatdown. Nebraska isnt hiring craig bohl.
I'll say this; if someone steals Frost from them we'll never hear the end of the butt hurt out of Lincoln. 
I hope Jimbo F goes go aTm just so FSU can swoop in and snag frosty. Nub nation may go down in numbers from the heart attacks.

I could get on board with that.
Dream scenario would be Frost waits a year for a head coaching gig, Jimbo goes to A&M, FSU steals Taggart, Florida hires Chip so that Nebraska and UCLA are left pissing in the wind.
