Strong is the type of coach I wouldn’t mind bringing in on a 1 year analyst role to help Summers and that staff.
The Post-Turkey Day Carousel Update:
dwyermj kicks off the spin of the carousel with the first carousel casualty, Chris Ash.
New stuff noted with an UPDATE tag.
Open Jobs:
Rutgers- Chris Ash is out (h/t dwyermj), Nunzio Campanile is interim. After weeks of Greg Schiano all but being named, the deal falls through. (h/t DeNiro) Big Greg wanted $25MM in facility upgrades, and reportedly, unlimited use of a private jet. Schiano is not the guy. Rutgers back to the drawing board with Ventura Partners as the search firm. NJ HS coaches ass'n. Prez rip Rutgers a new one saying they are a disorganized clown show, or words of similar import. Joe Moorhead, Jeff Hafley, tOSU AC, Steve Addizio from BC or Anthony Canponile from Michigan. UPDATE: Schiano back in play (/t Jens) Probably for the best. Schiano has no where to go, and he is the only coach with chops who will take the Rutgers job.
Florida State- Willie Taggert out after less than two years. (h/t vinniew_11). That was a big one. Kirk Herbstreit drops a nuke on FSU, then pees on it to put out the fire. FSU has spent roughly $30M (h/t sinkratz) on coaches over the last two years...that is a lot of oranges to sell. Odell Haggins, longtime FSU AC takes over as interim. Norvell a possibility (h/t Duff), Deion Sanders (h/t Sewall Beach), probably the silliest rumor out there right now. AD hires DHR Intl. for the search, expect to have hire made within a month. Leader in the clubhouse? Mike Norvell. FSU insiders rumoring Bob Stoops has made a deal as of this afternoon (11/14/19) After a lot of chatter about Bob Stoops, nothing, he's allegedly out. Names being thrown around are Mark Stoops, you know, the other one, PJ Fleck, Norvell, current interim Haggins, and Matt Campbell, in no particular order. Apparently, PJ Fleck's massive buyout kicks in in December...hmmmm. Here is where it gets weird. Taggart did not sign his contract. He was coaching under a letter of agreement. FSU may be able to avoid a big chunk of his buyout. Somebody is getting sued. Noles 247 reporting James Franklin is target numero uno, and Matt Campbell #2. UPDATE: FSU boards says Franklin, Campbell and ND's Kelly, with a hire to be made Tuesday. Stay tuned. Based on the news from Arky below, I think it will be Campbell.
Arkansas- Chad Morris is out. Could not win even one SEC game. (h/t Duff). Names: Mike Norvell, Drinkwitz from App. St., Gus M., one column made the case for 59 year old Willie Fritz, not gonna happen IMO. CarolinaBuff says Leach, could happen.
Checked a couple of Hog related posters who sometimes seem to be in the know. Arky AD not interested in "retreads", and Leach is a no go. Sexton has pitched Drinkwitz and Kiffen and Kiffen is getting some traction. This one will be interesting as Norvell seems to be the #1 target of both FSU and Arky. The animosity between Malzahn and Arky is probably too high for Gus to return. (h/t hawg1). Norvell was the preferred candidate, but rumors are his agent has his sights set on a bigger landing strip than Arky. Lane Kiffen and Arky have talked, Bill Clark, Dave Clark and Butch Jones are other names. Norvell still their top target. Justin Fuente, Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach, in no particular order. UPDATE: Arky offered ISU's Campbell and he said no. It is going to be Lane Kiffin, second hand, but I have heard it is very, very likely to Kiffin.
UNLV- Sanchez does not survive. (h/t Jens). No winning seasons in five. Of note, Ced Cormier is WR coach on UNLV's staff, I hope he lands on his feet. UNLV could be a decent gig, now that they share the Raiders under construction stadium in Sin City. I was in LV last month, that stadium is pretty sweet. UPDATE: Food Cart and RichRod (h/t ahoelsken), (h/t BuffBronco) who adds a list of Rob Likens, Danny Gonzales, DII Danny Hawkins, Graham Harrell, MikMac, Jeff Choate, Rob Stitt and Troy Taylor. In other words, could be anybody.
University of Almost Mexico- Bob Davie out. (h/t Black Dynamite)
USF- Charlie Strong is out. How the mighty have fallen.
Mizzou- Barry Odom out. (h/t Duff)
UTSA- Frank Wilson out. (h/t DeNiro)
Possibles:
Harbaugh- Hard to say. Jimbo had a rough start, but it may come down to tOSU. 9-3 probably good enough this year.
Derek Mason- below .400 at Vandy in year six. Rumors swirl, the Vandy AD is unhappy, despite a nice upset of Mizzou. I think Mason is a goner. Jeff Fisher, Dave Aranda, Willie Fritz, Ken Numaatoilolonamaalolliteamnaaomommlo, and last but not least, MikMac himself, getting some early mention. 2-8. UPDATE: Derek Mason is safe per the AD. (h/t jeric).
Clay Helton- Swann out, Mike Bohn in as AD. Bret McMurphy reproting Urban Meyer is target numero uno. Pete Thamel says look at James Franklin, and if not him, then: Bob Stoops, Kyle Whittingham, Matt Rhule, PJ Fleck and a cast of thousands. This one will be big. I wonder how Bohn will screw it up. And of course, Lane Kiffin has expressed interest...in the HC job, not some random coed, although you never know. Some reports Bohn to USC as unwinding. Bohn wants Urban, Pres. Folt does not. Reports that other AD's said no when they were told they could not hire Urban. My guess as to the SC hire is not novel, it is Jack Del Rio. Let me be the first, I think, to nickname him, Jack The River. Bohn officially in. With the season concluded at 8-4, the Clay Helton death march continues...Bohn and his plaid SC colored sport jacket gave Clay a big hug before the fUCLA game...maybe he survives. Articles in the mainstream reporting Bohn leaning towards keeping Helton. The path of least resistance is an irresistable shiny object for Mikey. UPDATE: Reports he is out (h/t Serenity), other reports he isn't.
Matt Luke- Ole Miss always presumes their team should be more than it is, but even by reasonable standards, Luke is underachieving. The University has told the AD buying out Matt Luke, in his 6-16 SEC glory, is too much and that he needs to stay through 2020. Apparently the 6.5MM to buy out Luke and the 6MM more to buyout RichRod and dear old MikMac is more than the Rebels can handle, budget wise.
Mike Bobo- CSU may not be able to afford to let him go yet. When you look at his overall record, it isn't that bad by CSU standards. But the losses to the flagship, AFA, Boise and Wyoming weigh heavily. Wins at UNM, UNLV and Fresno could save Bobo, but losing spectacularly at home AFA and loss number 12 under Bobo to CSU's rivals, this time in the form of Wyoming, puts CSU out of a bowl and winless against its four rivals. 4-8, probably out, with Alford a possible replacement (h/t RollTad21)
Will Muschamp- Received the dreaded vote of confidence from his AD. Columbia is in shambles. Football staffers now resort to alcohol and fistfights with Muschamp impersonators. DBT wants to do an intervention. Muschamp probably safe.
Michigan State- Mark D'Antonio looks worn out, so does his team. Pounding by rival Michigan and recent lackluster results could bring a retirement for 63 year old D'Antonio. UPDATE: D'Antonio says he is coming back. (h/t Duffman).
fUCLA- Could Kelly be on thin ice? Maybe. (h/t Duff) $9MM to buy Kelly out, he owes $9MM if he leaves. Sounds like a deal could be made for both parties to save face.
Tejas- Many reports of UT AC's getting their walking papaers. Could Herman be on the carousel? (h/t Duff)
Mississippi St.- Joe Moorhead may need the Egg Bowl to keep his job, or he may just head out to Rutgers. (h/t Duff) UPDATE: Moorhead and AD say he's staying (h/t DeNiro)
UTEP- I mean who cares, but (h/t DeNiro) points out Dimel has not had success, so UT-Juarez may be coach shopping.
Tulsa- Philip Montgomery may be cut. (h/t DeNiro)
Boston College- Steve Addizzio could get fired, or he may go to Rutgers, the apparent landing place for coaches who are losing, but are willing to live in NJ. (h/t DeNiro)
Okie Lite- The yearly, will he or won't he leave drama of Gundy's Mullet begins anew (h/t DeNiro).
Other News:
Show me the Money- Cali leads the way to player pay, starting 2023. Hapless NCAA and Conferences clutch pearls.
Sheriron Jones- The well-traveled QB gets caught in a solo routine. CU dodged a bullet. (h/t sewallbeach)
Arizona- Gets defensive about its DC and fires him, and one defensive AC. (h/t Jens). Chuck Cecil now DC (h/t ahoelsken). Fired their DL coach, Sumlin dropping defensive AC's on a near weekly basis. (h/t DeNiro). UPDATE: Sumlin back for year three (h/t Jens)
Wazzu- Tracy Claeys "resigns". (h/t Tractor)
USC- hires Mike Bohn as AD (h/t ZKobalt), 11 other P12 programs chuckling uncontrollably.
Minnesota- PJ Fleck extended for 7 years, kNU in mourning.
Indiana- Tom Allen negotiating a raise, and presumably, an extension. kNU mourns more.
kNU- Frost extended by two years, then promptly loses, again, to Wiscy. (h/t blackdynamite), I think he had it first. kNU extends no bowl streak with loss to Iowa.
BYU- Kilani 'the Mushroom" Sitaki extended.
Willie Taggart- As noted in the FSU update, not so slick Willie never signed a formal agreement with FSU and the buyout provisions are up in the air. Willie needs to lawyer up and go after his agent and former attorney. This one cost him a bundle.
No. Colorado- Earnest Hollings gets the axe. (h/t ahoelsken)
UNLV-UN-R: Game erupts into a full blown brawl.

That’s right. Scooter moved with his family to SoCal from New Orleans in late elementary school. And he was definitely a USC fan as a kid.
Shocking.
In all seriousness, though, I am kind of shocked at the turn his career has taken. He was one hell of a DC who paid his dues and then showed promise as a HC when he finally got an opportunity. Never expected him to be a guy I wouldn't want anywhere near the CU head coach job.
Bohn gonna Bohn.
Three offensive coaches, including the coordinator. You gotta think Herm thinks 2020 is the year for ASU to make a splash.

Think he would a play for someone like Harell if he becomes available?
I can't see Herm going Air Raid.

Didn't they win yesterday to get bowl eligible? I thought he was a solid coach for them. Got to wonder with program expectations are out of whack there. They've never been a top program. Some good years and some great quarterbacks, but not ever a top program.

Part of it was they were a top tier defense year in and year it and then the bottom fell out of their defense this year. Also probably a little of too high expectations too and just time to move on.
I was expecting that one. Probably forced on Herman if he wanted to keep his job.

Still seems insane to me that USC is even pondering keeping Helton. I suppose 8-4 isn't an awful record, but losing to BYU, getting rolled by Oregon at home, recruiting at the bottom of the P12. Seems like a no brainer to me, but it is up to Bohn so..
Forever the most absurd return of a coach was that year we kept Hawk. He had straight up quit, stopped recruiting, etc. and Bohn somehow fails to get rid of him.

Bohn is just the guy to coordinate CU's end of the USC drought.
The Frosh QB at ASU is going to be a problem as he gets more experienced.
