How so? Just money? It’s a laughable school in a division in which he’s not likely to succeed. Ed O won the trophy because Burrow fell into his lap. I think Riley’s next move should be NFL a la Kliff. ( Ha-my spell check turns Kliff to Klingon.)

The 2021-2022 Coaching Carousel
- Thread starter DeNiro
- Start date
you think this will still be true after OU joins the SEC?
MSU basically making him the highest paid coach in CFB, or maybe just slightly behind Saban. MSU knows they are about to cash in on the new TV deal. Wish RG would go big with the assistant coach pool, with the knowledge that the new Pac 12 deal, while not as good, will still be far better than the current one.
The last three HCs at LSU have all won a National Championship. They are the only P5 program in a very talent rich state. They can pay on par with anyone in the country. The program can recruit with anyone in the country.
I'm not saying it's far and way better than OU, but it is better. Riley's had 2 Heisman winning QBs, and another who was runner up, and he's not even been close to truly competing for a national championship despite being in a playoff a few times. He may have reached his ceiling at OU.
I don't think there is a wide gap by any means, but I think LSU will always have an inherent recruiting advantage due to their location and status as the only P5 program in a talent rich state. They get whoever they want in LA. OU makes their living in Texas where they have to compete with every other big time program.
Yeah, but I think it’s more about the HCs than the positioning of the school itself. I’d agree with you if Riley was going to the SEC East. How about Florida? All you need to do there is figure out a way to beat Georgia….Hmmmm. A fun challenge and you don’t have to fret about Bama AND Texas AM. Not to mention the squirrelly unpredictability of the Mississippi teams. I understand going to LSU if a few extra million $$ are that important but from a “Win Natty” viewpoint there’s no worse place to go than the SEC West IMO…..
I mean, OU is about to join the SEC, so to even win their division and conference they're going to have to go through Bama and Georgia. Nobody is scared of aTm. Besides, who knows what the new SEC is going to do with their structure once OU and UT come on board.
I could totally see an SEC pod set up something like this:
West: OU, UT, aTm, LSU
North: Mizzou, Arkansas, Ole Miss, MSU
South: Bama, Auburn, Vandy, UK
East: Georgia, Florida, SC, Tennessee
Mel Tucker is staying in East Lansing even though he has to compete with Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State just to make it to the B1G Championship. I get Alabama has been the gold standard in CFB for a long time, but LSU is still a top 5-7 job in the country.
Debatable. Arguments could be made either way. I could see him making the move if he feels like he’s reached his ceiling at OU, but I think if we are honest, there isn’t much of a ceiling at OU.
We'll buy him a new desk and all the water bottles he needs?
I like this pod arrangements. Plus zipper approach would be great.

(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.

Aranda, Campbell, Sitaki, Wilcox, headline the possibilities mentioned here. Sad state of affairs that CU wouldn’t even sniff those names in all likelihood

You can infer what he thought about the CU job from his comments about MSU. Then again, all coaches are full of ****, so take it how you want.
With new contract reportedly in works, Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker calls Spartans 'destination' job
Michigan State coach Mel Tucker, who could soon receive a significant new contract with the school, said MSU is a destination job and that he never intended to "just pass through."
"I made it clear in my initial press conferences that I thought Michigan State was a destination job and not a stepping stone," Tucker told Green, who played for MSU from 2008 to 2012. "It was never my intention to come here and just pass through. I believe that we're building something special here. I have tremendous support here to do that, and we're on the right track."
ESPN
Applies to CU as in present tense?
He has had a great year so far and is seen as a rising star but this kind of money for a guy who as a head coach:
Has never been a National Champion
Never been in the playoff
Never won his conference
Never won a bowl game
If this is the new standard for paying P5 level college coaches a lot of schools might as well just drop any idea of competing for championships at the top level.
This contract given to Saban or Dabo (who's contract signed in 2019 pays him a bit over $9 million a year for 10 years) or even a Ryan Day who has been in the playoff twice and the championship game once but for a guy who hasn't won a single post-season game?
That’s “we expect championships” money, not “we’ll be happy battling for 2nd or 3rd in the BIG10 East” money. Pressure is on now.
Yep. Tucker just completely broke and reset the HC salary market. What are guys like Campbell and Franklin going to demand from USC or LSU? What is OU going to have to give Riley? What are Kirby, Dabo and Saban going to warrant now? Lane Kiffin?
CU will never be able to keep a successful HC, short of that guy being Ryan Walters or Bienemy.
Doesn't mean that's the going rate. But even if it is...
Frankly, I think CU would be better off paying a HC in the $3M range and having money for top tier market rate on coordinators & really good pay for other assistants rather than trying to get up to $5-$6M on a HC.
A bunch of broke ass duds.
Morbid curiosity - what rules were changed in nascar that ruined it? (Full disclosure, I didn’t know there were rules).I actually watched Nascar religiously for years up until about 4/5 years ago. The rules were tinkered with so much, it took the fun out of watching. NFL same thing. Really hate to see the favorite of all my sport watching follow those.
