NCAA: NCAA Coaching Carousel 2017/18

Vols hahahahaha

I really hope the finish to this side show circus ends with Lane Kiffin coming back lel Pls god

Are the other teams in the SEC giving up or is the threat of competing with Saban and Alabama just that scary.

Tennessee, Florida, LSU all opened up the past two years and they end up with Coach O, Mullen and ?. Even the second tier schools with the Luke hiring (sanctions I know) and now Moorhead are very underwhelming.

I guess if Jimbo moves to A&M that would be a big deal but it seems like the SEC coaching ranks are very mediocre at this point.

Dan Mullen is a great coach. The last time Florida had a good offense..he was calling plays.

We'll see.

I think people got so wrapped up in him doing more with Miss St than they expected they kind of ignored some iffy results after the exciting wins/rise in the rankings.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

As far as SEC coaching hires...Joe Alleva at LSU blew it with Fisher and Herman and ended up with a guy nobody wanted. I don't get the Moorhead hire. Pruitt made the most sense there. Tennessee..no one is going to take that job with Currie as A.D. and unrealistic expectations.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I will say for Moorhead..he'll be given time. Mississippi State has a chance to dominate the state since Ole Miss is going to get ban hammered.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I figured Moorhead would hold out another year as he was getting paid good money as an OC. I figured he’d wait for Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia, etc. a school of that ilk to open up as he’s never left the Northeast to this point even going back to his playing days.

He’s not really much of a recruiter so it should be interesting seeing him go all the way down south with no experience there.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Mississippi State is a better job plus Mendenhall and Narduzzi aren't going anywhere. I think he'll be fine. Mississippi State is a team that recruits 3 stars on offense and 4 and 5 stars on D. Keeping Todd Grantham is important.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

According to Feldman, Tennessee is now turning it’s attention to Dave Doeren (NC State HC), Jeff Brohm (Purdue HC), & Tee Martin (USC OC).

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Tee Martin will be the guy. They’ll end up with a Tennessee guy and they’ll try to rally around that to save face from what has become an absolutely hilarious fiasco.

Tee Martin will be the guy. They’ll end up with a Tennessee guy and they’ll try to rally around that to save face from what has become an absolutely hilarious fiasco.

I guess Tee Martin makes sense in terms of being an easy sell to the fan base, alumni and former players but man does that seem like a very risky guy given his zero experience as a HC and limited time as an assistant. I think the DC would be a very important hire for Martin if they go that route.

I have no idea why they would go after Doeren. A Midwest guy with an ok record at NC State?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Rumor is Don Brown will join Moorhead at State. Jimmy Khakis may need to see if ol' Vic Fangio wants come back to college.

Well that will certainly help Moorhead down there.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Mississippi State has some savages on that defense. He and Moorhead go way back. Coached together at UConn.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He is going to have issues building a staff.

Says? There was an article about a week ago where brown says he was content. He talked big about McCaffrey. I will be shocked if he leaves within two years

Fangio would be a good hire

 

[ecemleafs]

Pleased for Moorhead and glad hell be a head coach outside of psu's recruiting area. Plz make the next OC hire similar to Moorhead and not donovan.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Sounds like Brohm to Tennessee is close. If I'm Purdue I immediately reach out to Kevin Sumlin and Jason Candle (Toledo HC who is bound to be a hot candidate next year).

 

[Falco Lombardi]

But Gene, Kevin Sumlin could have the opportunity to go to Arizona State!

DONT YOU KNOW WHO THEY THINK THEY ARE?!

Between Tennessee and the AZ St AD, this has been one of the more entertaining carousels in recent history. Granted had UCLA not landed Kelly, I’d be a lot saltier about it.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Speaking of Brohm and Tennessee.....

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I think a good coach could kill it at ASU. Herm is such a wildcard. Nobody wants the Tennessee job. I'm really shocked that they haven't reached out to Neal Brown.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I was more joking about him expecting to finish top 3 minimum in the Pac 12. That’s like me expecting Missouri to finish top 3 in the SEC every year. Yeah it might happen once in a blue moon but to expect it is crazy.

 

[The Burdened]

Vols ahahahahahahaha

Now moving onto Doeren? Really? Worse than the Derek Dooley hiring.

I bet the fan base wish they would have kept quiet on Schiano now.
Their fake moral outrage most definietly just set them back at least the next 5-years if not a decade. Schiano could've provided stability and gotten them back to being an upper midcard team. Oh well for them I guess. What a laughing stock.

Why are they not being linked to someone like Les Miles? Not that it would be a guarantee he takes the job, but that program needs stability and he would provided that in spades so in 5-years when he retires UT actually looks like a spot a coach wants to be at instead of the dumpster fire that looks like will be burning bright for many many years to come

 

[Gene Parmesan]

The word on Les is that he's 64 and he's not interested in changing his ways. Instead of changing his offensive schematics, he's just interested in being Les.
