Jim McElwain would be a solid long term hire if the Hawks decide they don't want Bowen. They have been losers on the football field for so long that I'm afraid they will reward Bowen with the job just because he didn't get his ass kicked by TCU.

The line of questioning he got about T.

I doubt he'd really need to go nuts.  I'm sure whatever pools he was fishing into for NDSU guys would be the same ones for ISU.

And the NDSU teams he put together, even at the FCS level, would probably challenge for bowl games most years with the right kind of non-conference scheduling.

This thread is going to get to 100+ pages as soon as Snyder announces his retirement after the Baylor game

Imagine the "Win one for the Gipper" speech before that one.

Man, to be a fly on the wall.

...there are some job's with schools with big opinions of themselves who are looking.

So, the carousel should start moving.


I look at a list like the one below and wonder who gets raises this year, let alone who actually takes new jobs.

Nope. There are pretty good Currie archetype candidates out there. The only way Snyder pins Currie down is if he announces after the bowl or signing day.

Bo would be so fun at KU but there is absolutely no way that administration is hiring that guy. He also doesn't follow the coaching change rule of opposites. Allen (nice), Mangino (jerk), Gill (nice), Weiss (jerk); going with super jerk doesn't work.

Muschamp is worst case scenario for us, imo.

Why would muschamp take the KU job?  He should go somewhere awesome as a DC and rehab his rep.  Is there any doubt lane kiffen only has two more years max before he gets another decent HC offer?

Muschamp should be floating his name out there as a DC.  he could solidify the credentials of a Scott frost to nebraska pipe dream in short order.

I think a lot has to do with having a goddamn golf coach as his AD. There was a rumor last year Gundy picked up the UTenn AD at the airport in Stillwater (!!!) to listen to their pitch.  That's like browsing dating sites in living room while your SO is cooking dinner in the kitchen.

I think the ranking of coaching destinations is heavily dependent on where the coach is from and has recruiting ties to. Somebody from Big 10 country probably would rank Ohio State and Michigan 1 and 2. If you aren't from the area, the Michigan job sucks. Even Rich Rod couldn't win there.

I think you are probably right about the truly elite coaches like Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and Pete Carroll. There aren't more than 5-6 of those coaches in existence, though. I think fit is very important for most coaches out there. I'm certainly no expert, though.

Miami is a dogshit job. The only positive they have is the recruiting area. I think the only worst jobs in the big 5 conferences in the states of Florida, Texas, and California are TCU and Cal. Miami has no facilities, not only do they play in an empty NFL stadium but their on=campus practice and workout facilities are horrendous. There past isn't even all that because their administration shies away from it. There are incredible expectations but without all of the benefits of having incredible expectations. No facilities, no money, no support, a new incoming president, and massive expectations from a vocal but cheap fan base. No thanks.

Jim Mora's father coached at UCLA and Washington, and he played football at Washington, so he was at least somewhat familiar with the west coast high school football landscape before taking the job.

I don't know why Rich Rod failed at Michigan. I thought he was a home run hire. It doesn't make much sense how somebody could have so much success at WVU and Arizona and so little at Michigan. Maybe he just needs a smaller spotlight. I don't think LHC Bill Snyder would have as much success as he has had at a "better" football job.

I think Harbaugh is probably just an elite coach. I think he would compete for Big 12 titles at KU.

Mora hadn't been a college coach at all, though. His dad was a coach at UCLA for one year. I really don't think going to college in Washington had any effect at all on his ability to recruit to UCLA.

Mora's body of work as a college coach is still pretty small, and we have no evidence to show if he would be better or worse coaching at a program in a different region. :dunno:

Also, playing for Washington wouldn't make UCLA easier to recruit to, but it would make the UCLA job more attractive to Mora than it would be if he had played football on the east coast.

So. . .what I am hearing is that all the amazing things we are about to build down at the Bill will move K-State up this chart?

Call me a Homer. . .but the K-State job has to look pretty awesome. MHK is growing. For now it has an airport. It has an extremely loyal, and often wealthy, fan base who wants to support its growth. They pack the stadium win or lose. They have a president and AD who don't mind spending money (in the way of fundraising effort) on the program .They would be taking over for one of the best coaches of all time who could still be around to be a mentor. We have the training table and Vanier 2.0 is going to be the balls. The "you can't recruit to kansas" line is utter bullshit. A great coach will not have to try any harder if they can get recruits on an official visit. Not to mention that the university is tops in a lot of categories with constant on campus facelifts year after year.

I realize this list was based off of prestige and history. Yet, if I was a big time coach I could definitely look to MHK as a place that isn't a rebuilding project. It is a place just waiting for a great new coach to come take the reins.  That sounds like a pretty sweet job to me.

stadium size is honestly a pretty good representation of how easy/difficult it is to recruit to a place

yes it's not bad. much of it is population based. people are weird and usually don't want to go far from where they are born.

FootballScoop.com reports that Nebraska is targeting Arkansas HC Bret Bielema to replace Bo Pelini.

The site also reports that the Huskers are "in serious talks" with Bielema. Nebraska’s athletic director, Shawn Eichorst, worked for with Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez from 2009-11 and is purported to be a huge fan of Bielema's. It might seem like a tall task to convince Bielema to leave two years into his Arkansas tenure after he's rebuilt the program as he sees fit and has it headed towards SEC competitiveness, but this is, of course Bret Bielema. And Bret Bielema has pulled off a bigger stunner before, leaving a cushy job with the Badgers for the rebuilding effort required at Arkansas. For what it's worth, Bielema is telling the media that he's committed to Arkansas long-term.

michigan is probably top 10 and Nebraska is probably top 20

Well, let's see. I'll rank NCAA D1 football jobs right here. These are my rankings and are not at all final or researched. I'll stop when I reach Nebraska

1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. Ohio State
4. USC
5. Notre Dame
6. LSU
7. Oklahoma
8. Florida
9. Michigan <------- Rusty is right. Top 10 job.
10. Auburn
11. Oregon
12. Florida State
13. Georgia
14. Texas A&M
15. Wisconsin
16. Tennessee
17. Clemson
18. South Carolina
19. Penn State (yes, even now)
20. Arkansas
21. Michigan State
22. Nebraska <----------- not top 20 but higher than 30. So Rusty is pretty accurate again.

Ok so based on recent developments, Arkansas/Michigan St/South Carolina are all obviously better jobs than Nebraska. I think I had Nebraska too high. Wherever Oregon St is, Nebraska is maybe 7 spots higher.

That sounds like Barry's first contract was for 300k/year as a HC and was never gonna pay a coordinator more than that, goddamn it!

@clintbrew247: I've confirmed that Bo Pelini is indeed in the mix to take over at #Wisconsin.  http://t.co/0UNQ0myIen via @247Sports
I thought he already took a job.

SI is saying that Bo is denying that Youngstown State offered him.  Maybe right before he signed the contract Wisky called?

Maybe Wisconsin really DID throw that game for the Big 10.

This is what I was thinking.  Big10 forces Wisconson to throw the game, and throw it badly. Anderson says "eff this crap" and bolts for the first opening.

I think K-State has positioned itself to have a baseline expectation of decent from here on out.

My expectation:

True shot for confy title, top-10 type season every 3 or 4 seasons.
Top 4 in conference most years.
minor bowl, 6-5, 6-6 seasons acceptable every once in awhile.
any losing season is hot water.

I'm not an expert. Maybe Sean can do this. I wouldn't be thrilled, but I wouldn't burn it down if her were hired. I'd be meh. Meh can work out.

Bill understand his failure at the end of Bill 1.0 had a lot to do with the Quarterback position. I still want to see Latimore or Miller to retire soon and to get another recruiter as good a Coleman. I think it could get us back to the heyday.

I have heard the Sean is a poor X and O coach and wonder if that is some posters fear. I do have hope though. I could see the whole current coaching model as inefficient and outdated. Maybe having the head coach not taking on OC or DC priorities will allow staff to run more efficiently. Also having the head coach run special teams give you once more position coach on the offensive or defensive side of the ball.  :dunno:

Former Baylor offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery is officially Tulsa's new head football coach, beating out candidates such as Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost, Utah State head coach Matt Wells and Maryland defensive coordinator Brian Stewart.

He's looking guys.  I bet he would love a chance to HC KSU.

For a long time Alvarez refused to pay an assistant over $300k.  When Anderson came he finally cracked.  Last year Wisconsin payed both coordinators $480k.  Oregon State paid their $505k and $320k.
That sounds like Barry's first contract was for 300k/year as a HC and was never gonna pay a coordinator more than that, goddamn it!

Also, while Madison maybe the Mecca of White Midwesterners it may not be the Kingdom of Glory for a LDS west coaster like Gary

I'm guessing the issue with Barry goes well beyond assistant coaching salaries. Anderson has not been there long enough to have another problem with the assistant salaries, I'm fairly sure no assistant left in his brief time there. The guy has had two coaches leave and both times the megalomaniac has picked himself to coach the bowl game. If he feels comfortable doing that, twice, he must be a real peach to deal with at practice and around the facility. It sucks that the assistant coaches loyalty to the players prevents them from telling Barry to gfy and just go to their next job.

Agreed. Also interesting is that Les Miles hasn't denied interest in the Michigan job, especially in the face of reports that Michigan is in contact with his agent.

I'd have to check but I'm fairly certain that would be the largest contract in American sports for someone who is just a coach, not a coach/gm or president combo. He's in play for Michigan because he is getting fired and he's essentially been fired for two months already. Would they have given him $11 mil a year if he weren't being fired? The Raiders nor the Dolphins would pay him anything close to that.

I know they have the money but I also know they have a great business school so they should understand economy.

BTW I checked and Coach K was the highest paid coach in American sports in 2014. He made just over $9 million but I have no idea how much of that is base and how much is bonuses. The second highest paid is Sean Freaking Payton at $8 million. Bill Belichick is #3 and Saban is #4 and they are just over $7 million. I won't believe it until I see Harbaugh sign a contract thats a million dollars more than Belichick and Saban.

What do we pay oscar? 8 million for Jim Harbaugh to run Michigan football seems like an ok deal in comparison, no?

I'd have to check but I'm fairly certain that would be the largest contract in American sports for someone who is just a coach, not a coach/gm or president combo. He's in play for Michigan because he is getting fired and he's essentially been fired for two months already. Would they have given him $11 mil a year if he weren't being fired? The Raiders nor the Dolphins would pay him anything close to that.

Meh, I can see it. Michigan is tired at being laughed at and their rivals just hired a home run in Urban Meyer. I'd also assume that Michigan rightly or wrongly believes that they'd have to give him significantly more money that the NFL teams in play to make him come back to a college team.

Michigan offering Harbaugh eight million per year.  :horrorsurprise:

That can't possibly be true

ESPN radio reported six years $48 million on my drive home.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Go get that cash, Jim. If you don't, you'll never see it again. #JimHarbaughOverrated

Its a lot but you have to imagine Michigan has the means

I know they have the money but I also know they have a great business school so they should understand economy.

BTW I checked and Coach K was the highest paid coach in American sports in 2014. He made just over $9 million but I have no idea how much of that is base and how much is bonuses. The second highest paid is Sean Freaking Payton at $8 million. Bill Belichick is #3 and Saban is #4 and they are just over $7 million. I won't believe it until I see Harbaugh sign a contract thats a million dollars more than Belichick and Saban.

I had no idea coach k got paid like that.  Wow.

Successful NFL coaches seem to do it just fine. All of Harbaugh's problems are self-induced and have nothing to do with the players. He's a megwatt dickhead that can't get along with anyone; players, assistant coaches, peer coaches, and management. He had the same reported issues at Stanford.

Does Jim Harbaugh strike you as a guy that would even consider ever acting in the best interest of the athletic department? In this business minded climate athletic directors have to actually supervise their coaches; all of their coaches. In this big money and information age, letting football coaches run their own little fiefdoms like Schembeckler, Paterno, and Osborne did is over.

Made it seem as if Michigan would pay that but so would Miami, maybe even more. More to the point it was telling the Raiders what the minimum is to get in the game. Either way it's Ross' money and it seems like Harbaugh is going to get himself fired into $8 million a year, MINIMUM.

Post by: Michiganisstillgood on December 23, 2014, 01:10:44 AM
I think the ranking of coaching destinations is heavily dependent on where the coach is from and has recruiting ties to. Somebody from Big 10 country probably would rank Ohio State and Michigan 1 and 2. If you aren't from the area, the Michigan job sucks. Even Rich Rod couldn't win there.

I've been thinking about this, and I kind of disagree (although I used to agree). I think the ability to recruit travels with you. Yes, it's nice to have certain ties to an area, but if you're coaching at OSU or Michigan and know how to handle HS coaches and kids, you'll have instant credibility anywhere you go in the region. I think of the success Urban had in Florida and what a guy like Jim Mora's done at UCLA and think you just need to know what you're doing means more than where you're doing it. The jobs that are top jobs are top jobs largely because they have easy access to gobs recruits, (and is really the biggest factor keeping UNL down).

I could be wrong, though. :dunno:

I think you are probably right about the truly elite coaches like Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and Pete Carroll. There aren't more than 5-6 of those coaches in existence, though. I think fit is very important for most coaches out there. I'm certainly no expert, though.

What about Jim Mora at UCLA? Jim Harbaugh at Stanford? Rich Rod at Arizona? (I know you mentioned him as a failure going to Michigan, but WVU and UM should really overlap quite a bit when it comes to recruiting territory - IMO he had other issues). (It's also hard to think of coaches who go to a new region at all, much less successfully).

don't know, it's interesting to think about.

What do you think RichRod's issues were?

Didn't tailor his offense to suit the players already there, hired Greg Robinson to be his DC, was an bad person. He had some great recruiting classes, though.

Meh, not really, kind of , and LMAO no he didn't.

Ross is working to get Harbaugh back to Michigan, he'll keep Philbin for another season, most likely.

8 Million is the word, apparently.

The University of Michigan has told its biggest boosters a deal for Jim Harbaugh to be the team's next football coach is done and a press conference is scheduled for Tuesday, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

NFL.com also reported Harbaugh has agreed to take the Michigan job, but he has yet to sign a contract. Harbaugh is expected to become the highest-paid coach in college football making more than $8 million per season, according to the NFL.com report. Alabama's Nick Saban is currently the highest-paid coach in college, earning $7.2 million per year.

I watched the entire press conference.  Those people are very arrogant.  I do admire their new willingness to effectively admit that they have really mumped up the last couple hires.

I hope he just kills it.  Something comforting to me in having a big dick Michigan to go along with a big dick Ohio State.  They can absolutely rape the rest of the conference and then have these great end of season megagames with a guaranteed spot in the 'offs.

He was a successful NFL coach and QB as well as successful college coach who turned out a very successful NFL QB.  He is also coaching at Michigan.  Granted Luck might be a player that comes along once every 10 years, but he should have no trouble attracting an elite QB

Are you sure about that, Chingon.  Here a little more detailed news on the agreement.


Jim Harbaugh will make at least $7 million in his first year as Michigan's new football coach.

That would be right in line with the $6.9 million annual salary of Alabama's Nick Saban, the highest-paid coach in college football, per USA TODAY Sports. But Harbaugh reaches that figure only because of a $2 million signing bonus.

His contract, however, falls far short of the $8 million annually that NFL insiders have widely reported for the past two weeks. The most common figures cited had been six years for at least $48 million.

Michigan released a one-page sheet today at Harbaugh's introductory news conference with what it titled the "major contract terms." According to that information:

•Harbaugh's contract runs for seven years.

•His annually salary is $5 million with a 10% increase after Year 3 and another 10% increase after Year 5.

•The athletic director will review "the progress of the football program" after this season to determine "an appropriate" deferred compensation arrangement.

Jim Harbaugh's contract details...

That last point could be worth millions. Interim athletic director Jim Hackett said during the news conference that he also would take into account market trends when determining deferred compensation.

Factoring in the 10% increases, the signing bonus and no incentives, Harbaugh's contract has a minimum value of $40.1 million

Well, well, lets divide the "$40.1 million" by 5 years and what do we get... wal la la, a smudge over $8 million per year.  Well I'm getting the hell out of the "Wall of Shame" right now.

Mike is out too.  Bob's just letting him find another job.  The leading theory down here is Bob did his press conference now as a "season ending" press conference so when Mike leaves he doesn't have to answer questions about his brother.

I think Bob actually wanted to fire Norvell.  I've heard from a few people on the periphery on the program Norvell's gotten lazy, especially in the off season.  Plus Bob was pissed that almost none their receivers have gotten better with Jay coaching them.

Also, Jerry Montgomery has come in and kicked ass.  Some think Bob's realized some have gotten complacent.  Montgomery's put other coaches to shame with his work ethic and recruiting.  Bob wants more like him like they had 15 years ago.
