Coaches who should be on the move after the season

[Addicted2quack]

I've been looking at the national picture and if there's ever a time for some programs to make a splash, this looks like one of those years. I'd like to hear what some of you have to say about this, because I know we've got some great posters who know a lot about specific conferences. In general, here's what i see thus far in no particular order:

1 Brent venables is ready for the spotlight and a HC role. He should be widely considered by most programs.

2 tom Herman is likely the most exciting candidate out there and will attract more attention than anyone, which he has earned in my opinion.

3 lane kiffin is likely on the move; but I don't like him as a head coach, because I feel like he never has control of his team. Great offensive mind, but bama is bama because of Saban, kiffin is just sprinkling in success where he can. Someone will take a chance on him tho. Maybe LSU lol?

4 Pete kwiatkowski is an interesting factor. His defense is always good and he can really recruit, kind of like a west coast Kirby smart; maybe he gets a chance at a HC job after washingtons run this year?

5 pj fleck..... this is one guy no one is talking about enough in my opinion. Very good young coach and seems to have a knack for getting his players to buy into the program and direction. I think he's an obvious number 2-3 choice for most major programs if they can't land a Herman or venables.

6 les miles; not sure what happens here but the guy can flat out recruit. His offensive scheme needs to drastically change, but the guy can coach and recruit defenses very well. Perfect big 10 guy.....

coaches getting fired:

1 Charlie strong- he gone

2 mark helfrich- he gone

3 Jim mora- he should be gone

many more I'm sure.... I'll let you all fill in the blanks and add on wherever you'd like

Les Miles will have a much more difficult time recruiting now that he isn't square in the middle of one of the richest recruiting area's in the nation. Whenever he went up head to head against another top 10-15 power 5 school and won, they were instate kids usually. He also is a QB killa, can not spot or develop QB talent worth a flip.

Charlie Strong might get one more year, but prolly gone.

I think the interest in Tom Herman will create some interesting coaching maneuvers. For instance, people think he wants out west, if USC thought they could get him they would probably can their coach now.

Add Hugh Freeze to the name of coaches that's name is starting to get leaked out as interest in other coaching jobs. I assume that is his agent trying to get Ole Miss to lock him up amidst the allegation crap going on.

Dan Mullen is supposedly on the hot seat, but Miss St would be stupid to can him. He may leave however.

Venables will NOT get a HC job in the near future, GoSooners could probably chime in on this but he's not HC material.
Kiffin has already been there, done that, and he managed to phuck it up taking the job at Tennessee and then walking out. Bama is probably paying him as much as most HC jobs anyway.
Miles is a crook, best thing that ever happened to Okie State was for that piece of shit leave. Wouldn't bother me a bit never to hear his name again.

Miles will get a look from many second tier teams.....he has name recognition.

Charlie is gone if Herman wants the job at Texas. If Herman goes elsewhere (USC), then things get cloudy.

We discussed PJ Fleck going to Purdont, but frankly he could hold out for a better job....

UCLA doesn't have the balls or the smarts to fire Jim Mora.

Strong to LSU, Herman to Texas, Kiffin to UCLA

don't see Venables having much of an interest in being a HC. He could have had any number of jobs by now. Great DC and happy being the best at it....other than the diff in money of course but i think he's highest paid coordinator in football so it's not like he's making junk money

why wouldnt LSU keep Ed? Not the right fit? He's doing well so far at LSU and finished up well at USC. I think he sucked before that so maybe that's what LSU is worried about? or maybe he cant recruit?

Just the opposite. Ed Orgeron is one of the best recruiters in the country. It would be the #1 reason why LSU might just keep him as HC, they don't want to lose him at all.

He's making more than Kiffin??? Man, I don't see that but admit I don't know the numbers. I can't even tell ya what HC is making the most although it used to be a battle between Stoops and Saban, hence my assertion that Kiffin is well paid.

Venables stated his desire to coach for KSU when that job came open after Prince was fired. But I really haven't heard anything since. Something tells me he's very satisfied being in the position he's in at Clemson. He probably doesn't want to transplant his family again anytime soon. Plus he makes good money as a DC without the pressure of a HC, and I think he would like to at least stay until Clemson wins a NC, which may not be far away...

Miles to Purdue has been rumored.

Kiffin to Fresno State a possibility.

Would be shocked if Herman doesn't get the Texas job (and you have to think Strong is gone).

...which would lead to Strong likely getting a gig (or taking a year off and back in it next year).

PJ Fleck will get a mention or two. How big of a job is the question.

For some reason Doug Nussmeir at UF has been mentioned for a few jobs (why, I don't know). He was allegedly offered Southern Miss last year and turned it down. He's on the short list for Fresno, apparently.

I think Orgeron gets the LSU gig.

Anyone think Jimbo Fisher would move on from FSU? LSU or Texas would be a good fit for him.

5 current openings. Should be at least 15-20 by end of the season.

So many good offerings here in this thread, love reading all these posts and replies. So what about the Oregon job?? Does anyone here really think Oregon can turn this around this year to win 4 of their last 5 and save helfrich? I sure don't, and I'm just looking at all of this and thinking, as Oregon you're basically trying to determine if this is an avalanche or just a couple boulders falling off a cliff.... the way it looks now is more and more like an avalanche, especially with all of the internal locker room talk coming out about players not caring or wanting to win anymore. It's a bad and very dangerous image and I just can't help but think he's lost the whole team.... rumors are rumors, but nonetheless there is talk of chip Kelly coming back to college football. Not sure he's the perfect fit for Oregon this time around but he's certainly better than helfrich. I of course like Herman and fleck, and I'd be satisfied with either or; I sincerely think fleck is ready for a big move and the PAC 12 at Oregon could be the right fit for a high energy guy like himself. Herman would be a homerun with anyone, especially Oregon....

not sure what what will happen but helfrich needs to go and Oregon needs to either open up the checkbook and get someone big or bring back Kelly and rebuild

Jimbo just signed a new contract during the LSU game at the end of last year when it came out right before the game that les was gone. All of a sudden Jimbo got a new contract that moment, which lead many to believe he accepted the LSU job then turned it down, making the LSU AD circle back and cause all of that embarrasement that happened, kept miles and gave all that extra money to him and those assistants (who I believe most if not all have guaranteed contracts not tied to Miles). All that to say I'd be shocked if Jimbo doesn't have a pretty big buyout and LSU needs someone without abuyout because they are going to be paying for Miles!

Me thinks Herman turns down LSU and sends them on a real wild goose chase, I just hope it happens publicly. I don't think they want Ed although he is one of the best recruiters in the nation (you have to wonder why though).

Haven't thought about Herman to Oregon... THat could be dangerous with the athletes that use to roam those locker rooms.

CK came out and siad how much he hated recruiting and all the NCAA stuff, so I'd be shocked if he ended up back in college, but if he can't find a gig in the NFL and wants a pay check he will be back in college and can name his job at any open spot at that point.

I have have heard the Purdue / Miles rumor as well. I think Kiffin would want bigger than Fresno. Herman looks to have packed it in for Texas. I think LSU is the prize above Texas, but many would disagree.

 

[CoachCB]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Chip Kelly say, "Fuck it" and leave the NFL (before his stock falls off way too far to recover). Hell, he could end up back in Oregon.

Bama doesn't need to have Kiffin be #1 paid coordinator because USC is still paying him. this is the final year he is owed by USC...>$3M from them so Bama got the bargain price and a natty to go with it (hopefully 2 natties....).

Fleck has some off the field issues.

Herman is going to Texas.

Dan Mullen was wanted by WVU last season, but buyout was the issue...AD not a fan of Holgorsen.

A year later and it's upside down.

What's the story w/ Fleck's off field issues?

I'm shocked Mullen stayed at Miss State as long as he has. That was a stepping stone job. He should have taken one of the ACC gigs and could have been an 8-9 win coach as long as he wanted, w/ the occasional 10+ win season. Miss State is an up and down type situation and once he lost the star QB, his team's not looking so hot.

Holgersen is having too good of a season for WVU to can him. And you talk about "off-field issues". I'm surprised he made it to year 2 (he's a drunk!).

They offered him an extension in the offseason that basically got rid of his buyout, so that they could fire him if they chose to do so. He didn't sign and has one year left on his existing contract. With each win, his price is going up and he's also being rumored for other jobs so we will see what happens. And you're right about his off the field problems early in Morgantown, though he has matured a lot. He was basically protected by Oliver Luck, the former AD, as he was "his" guy.
