Jimbo to aTm? I do think that will happen and will probably go down right after the FSU game Sat.

Jimbo Fisher has resigned from FSU and is officially going to aTm. Cue Taggart to FSU.
Wow. There was a lot of smoke there, but I didn’t actually expect anything to happen.
If ATM can hire a 4-8 coach, why are we having so much trouble getting our 5-7 coach hired?
Just another day in college football.
I am pissed that the North is getting weaker as a whole, while the south is getting way stronger...

Pulitzer level journalism.
Wow. The Big Domino falls....Reset, things are going to get (more) interesting.....
Filled jobs:
fUCLA- They strike hard and fast, grabbing the brass ring and landing Chip Kelly. h/t Jens.
UF- Mullen is in, per ESPN.
Ole Miss- Matt Luke it is. h/t nik. 2 year bowl ban, loss of schollies
MSU- Joey Moorhead, OC at Pedo. St. takes over in Starkville. h/t cmgoods
ASU- Herm Edwards. I have trouble typing that because I am laughing too hard. (h/t cmgoods) The only reason this is not the worst hire is that UT is setting new standards for AD malfeasance. UPDATE: some rumblings Herm may not be a done deal, ASU taking a page from Oregon St.
aTm- Jimbo leaves FSU h/t Serenity Buff
Open jobs:
Oregon St. - Cal OC Beau Baldwin was tapped for the job. h/t nik UPDATE: not so fast, they are still looking. (h/t NW Buff) All AC's, except Cory Hall, fired and told to evacuate the athletic building. Dennis Erickson redux? UPDATE: I give up, they'll hire somebody, retract it, hire someone else, rinse repeat. One day there will be a presser, watch that.
Rice- David Bailiff let go. (h/t zapata)
NU- Riley out. h/t Jens. Apparently all in on Frost, after that, who knows? Fuente,? Many sources reporting Frost is the man.
Arky- Bielema out, ****canned as he walked off the field. Malzahn still has remarkable traction, if not him, probably Norvell or Chad Morriss. Looking to hire AD within the week and HC a week after that. A search firm for each job has been retained.
Kent St.- Paul Haynes out. h/t mdelpizzo
Ga. Southern- Tyson Summers out. Tee Martin has shown interest ( I forget who posted this, so h/t to somebody)
UTEP- Kugler out, Mike Price in for a repeat.
South Alabama- Joey Jones out
Secondary Market:
FSU- Jimbo bolts to aTm, FSU has begun vetting Willie Taggart. h/t Jens.
Possibles-
Oregon- Uncle Phil may have to open up the checkbook again if Taggart bolts. Leavitt?
In a category all their own:
Tennessee- After enduring Grudcon 1, Rocky Top suffers a case of Grudon dysfunction. Greg Schiano signs a MOU, Vols go absolutely ape**** with legislators, former players, talk show hosts and dog catchers protesting Schiano pedophile allegations. Schiano is told "no thanks" and Schiano's agent, in his best Ray Liotta voice from Goodfellas says "Screw you, pay me." Currie the AD, after having to **** backwards on the issue, is now searching, again. No way Gruden leaves his lofty perch to step in that collective pile of dog doo. Who would? A complete hot mess with a side of vitriol. Fun to watch, unless you are a Vol. Kiffin trolling them mercilessly. Food cart watching the city burn from afar.....UPDATE: Cutcliffe at Duke says no thanks. (h/t Ruckus). Now chasing Mike Gundy, who spurned them in 2012 (h/t Austin Cameron). UPDATE OF THE UPDATE: (h/t Serenity Buff) Mountains of cash being thrown at Gundy, and he is listening, btw, he's a man ya know. UPDATE, COMEDY VERSION: Gundy works UT like an old shoe, only to stay at Okie Lite. h/t cmgoods. No HC search has gone this badly in recent memory. Miles, Morris (h/t Tscheck) Brohm (h/t ahoelsken) are in play. One has to wonder how far down the list UT goes before MikMac is considered. They may truly end up with Dave Logan. No Brohm, despite earlier reports today, (h/r Tscheck, Austin Cameron), on to NCST's Doeren (h/t DuffMan). UPDATE: Doeren a no go. Sumlin reportedly not interested. AD Currie offered Leach, but had the carpet pulled from under him and was fired. Former HC Fulmer now the acting AD. Reports former AD Currie headed to Pullman to take on the WSU AD job. I can't keep up with this. It is an 11 out of 10 at this point. Fulmer rumored to be enamored with Les Miles. Stay tuned.
Other news:
TCU- Extended GPat trough 2024 h/t nik
TTU- KliffyK safe h/t onealcd
KU- Beaty confirmed to be back next year.
Mizzou- Barry Odom set for extension.
ISU- Campbell signs extension
Please forgive my attempts at humor, this stuff is highly amusing to me.

@leftybuff is doing great work in a chaotic thread.

I second what Duff said-Good work lefty. This silly season is as epic as I've ever seen. Update on a P12 opening that we might have missed thanks to "Vols of our Lives" (we might need a separate thread just to discuss that search)-Washington OC/Former Rodent QB Jonathan Smith did accept the OSU job, so that one is done.

Lefty's Secretary: "I have eight clients that would like to set up meetings the first week of December. Is that OK?"
Lefty pauses, looks off into the distance, and takes a breath.
Lefty: "No Martha, that simply won't do. I'm needed elsewhere."

Oregon State has a new coach. Jonathan Smith https://www.foxsports.com/college-f...troduced-as-head-coach-at-oregon-state-113017
He would be a great fit at FSU, though. And they'll probably make him a hell of an offer.
Former player promoted from QB Coach at a conference rival to being their Head Coach? That couldn't be a more vanilla hire if he had a name as commonplace as Jon Smith and rallied troops with an introductory press statement as prosaic as "It is great to be home."
And they actually had a presser and so we can believe it this time.
Tempted to take UL Monroe and the points.
in fairness, that's a nickname that works just fine for a football coach in the South.

Also MikMacs agent! Mikmac 2018 FSU
Yes. The only weirdness for the south is that it's not a first and middle name configuration as "Jim Bo Fisher".
Sexton Dominoes:
Fisher-->Texas A&M
Taggart-->Florida State
????--> Oregon (Frost reportedly dropped Sexton as his agent a month ago)
I sure hope so. I wonder if Leavitt is telling recruits not to worry, he will be in charge if Taggart leaves.
