The 2021-2022 Coaching Carousel

HotRack said:
I've had season tix the last 4 years. They suck and don't keep as many kids here as you would think.

Rahne has a looong way to go to even get them close to what they were in the Heinecke FCS days.

I fully expect JMU to own them like Utah has owned CU.

ODU also sat last year. My guess is they're going to cut Rahne at least some slack.
 
Pre-Beaver Update

Open jobs:

Akron- Tim Arth out, (h/t DeNiro) 3-24 overall, replaced on an interim basis by Oscar Rodriguez.

TCU- Gary Patterson gets the heave ho. (h/t BCS and Duff). Rumors abound TCU may do a coaching drive by on SMU and snatch up Sonny Dykes. (h/t ahoelsken) Jeery Kill to take over in the interim. (H/t DeNiro)

Texas Tech- Matt Wells fired in year three. (h/t onealcd) Art Briles? (h/t AlbasterYak)

WSU- Nick Rolovich fired for cause over vaccination status. (h/t BCS) Bringing out some of the best recriminations between the antivaxxers and branch covidians yet.

Ohio- Frank Solich retires at the end of the year after 16 successful years as the Bobcat HC. (h/t Deniro) Health related retirement. Good for him to leave on his own terms.

UCONN- Randy Edsall, formerly a hot prospect, has taken UCONN to depths of despair not previously known. Losses to FCS Holy Cross, and two shutouts against Purdue and Fresno St. sealed his fate. Six wins in his four years as HC of UCONN, 2.0. Ouch. (h/t Deniro) Who is the next person up? Don't know, but Joe Moorhead has been mentioned, I kind of will believe that when I see it.

USC- The big one. (h/t Deniro, also check Jens' USC Fires Clay Helton megathread). Mike Bohn is on the clock. My guess is Fickell, and then Franklin, in that order. UPDATE- Apparently, Mike Tomlin is not interested (h/t AlbasterYak)

FIU- Butch Davis is a gonna hang it up at the end of the year and retire.

LSU- Ed O out. (h/t Carolina Buff), apparently when Ed O isn't covering up sexual assaults and turning in unsatisfactory W-L records, he is propositioning random women at gas stations, unfortunately, the last lady of the pump was an LSU muckety-muck's wife. (h/t 14er). Who's gonna be? Melvin? Dave Aranda? Jakes Franklin? Joe Brady? Billy Napier? Ed O's buyout is $17M (h/t Creebuzz), about a dollar more than luminaries like HCKD. I would say Ed O will retire and go into broadcasting, but.....

Filled Jobs:

Ohio- Tim Albin gets the job (h/t ahoelsken).

Georgia Southern- Bold move and hired Clay Helton (h/t Alabaster Yak)

Possibles:

ASU- Herm Edwards has some pretty flagrant stuff hanging over his head, hard to believe it doesn't cost him.

N. Texas- Seth Littrell siting at about .500

UNLV- Arroyo 0-12. (h/t ahoelsken)

kNU- Frosty probably done before the end of the year according to Steve Sipple.

VT- Hokie has consulted the VT burrito stand and Fuente may be out (h/t Hokie).

fUCLA- Chip Kelly may have worn out his welcome in Westwood. (h/t AlbasterYak).

Florida- Dan Mullen struggling (h/t Duff)


Other news:

Urban Meyer- Gets his freak on after visiting the grand kids.

Mizzou- fires DL coach midseason, an impossibility I am told. (h/t Deniro)

Okie Lite- Gundy leverages a perpetual extension (h/t AlbasterYak)

James Franklin- Switches agent to Jimmy Sexton for moving and or pay raise negotiations (h/t nik)

CU OL- Coach Rod fired, now embarking on second career in ebay sales.

UT- Jeff Banks dispatching his stripper GF and her monkey on the recruiting trail (h/t Jens)

Minny- PJ Fleck gets a bigger boat to row with an extension and raise (h/t Albaster yak)
 
I thought Fuente was a homerun hire when VT snagged him.

I still believe he's a very good football coach, but it's not working there for whatever reason.

He's only 45. Figure he'll either rehab as an OC for a few years or TCU will hire him. But I can't imagine he's got a future in Blacksburg.

Rehab as an OC you say…

He was already in trouble, now he was dumb enough to give them cause to fire without paying him.

Still wouldn't surprise me if they announce him resigning instead of being fired and him getting some settlement instead of just being fired but that will let the university know they won't have to deal with a lawsuit and his agent/lawyers have to know that he is in a weak position so getting something is much better than nothing.

Wow.:unsure: Apparently he gave a head slap to a player on the sideline when that player got into a scuffle with one of the duckling players....sounds like a convenient reason to offload an underperforming coach.

I have to admit I was 100% on board with trying to hire Lake for the Buffs head coach in the past. Did not see this coming from him. (Not the head slap, the game day sucking and sub par recruiting).
