Official 2017 Coaching Carousel Thread - Zona hires Sumlin

[Duff Man]

Narduzzi to Tempe might be the funniest hire I have heard yet. WTF?

 

[ZKobalt]

And what we have currently isn't?

It’s not good, never argued Lindgren was good so

He’s better than Watson though.

 

[TheeMacAttack]

Kevin Sumlin will be the next coach at ASU. And I hope the Buffs beat the hell out of 'em every time they play.

 

[onealcd]

Reports coming out that it is Sumlin at ASU.

 

[SerenityBuff]

Would be a great hire for them.

 

[Duff Man]

I do not think it is a terrible hire... but when did Sumlin get such a good rep as a coach? What am I missing? Seen a lot of positive comments on here about him lately, I do not get it.

 

[Creebuzz]

Disagree that Sumlin is a good hire.

Beat me by a few seconds.

Good thing slider knows what he's talking about...

 

[onealcd]

Yeah seems pretty average, no where near the program changing type hire that Chip Kelly was for ucla.

 

[ZKobalt]

Sumlin has only 1 year where he had a winning record in the SEC.

His record at Home against SEC teams aren’t much better either.

Thanks numbnuts. Bruce Feldman tweeted that Narduzzi was the guy for ASU this morning. And he's pretty dialed in. Moreso than pretty much any guy I know

I think you saw a fake account. I follow him and didn’t see that at all.

Maybe. Could have sworn it was Feldman. Anyways carry on

****, so frost to Nebraska?

Or he turns them down to stay at UCF LOL

 

[BuffWarHogFrog]

All in all, seems like the Buffs are totally F'd in the south.

South upgrading while we focus on APR

Except not all that much. APR is how they pick the 5-7 for bowl games (i.e. Nebraska), so obviously ours isn't all that great.

 

[Buffnik]

I think Graham is a better coach than Sumlin, so I think that CU made out well in the South on that one.

Edit: And not so fast, my friends...

If MikMac stays CU is the designated cellar dweller for a while. Chip will have UCLA rocking shortly, CU has never beat USC, Tate will pants an Eliot coordinated D every time they play, ASU is unsatisfied with a guy posting 4 bowls in 6 years and winning .610, with a .570 conference record and we know Utah is 5-2 v. Cu since the P12 formed.

Not looking good.

ASU has aspirations of becoming a big time football and hoops school. Can't say it's impossible but I'm skeptical. Graham isn't a coaching genius but he's relatively solid and will be working again whenever he wants to
be.

 

[Duff Man]

That will not go over well in Knoxville.

 

[leftybuff]

Schiano at UT? My guess is that UT went UT. They talk big but skimp on things like AC salaries. It will be interesting to see the numbers. If they are a shade under market for the SEC, you know Schiano was the guy who agreed to work cheap.

 

[BuffsNYC]

Who but MM would take the Ole Miss job? Lots of better programs ending up with plan C.
