Official 2014 Coaching Carousel (football edition)

Some guy on Twitter was excited about the idea of Les Miles to Michigan.  LSU would be a high-end opening as well.

Wasn't that the rumor in 2007 when they hired Rich Rod? I thought Les had like a  pre-SEC 'ship game presser to say he won't go there.

[Cartierfor3]

Someone smart like a mod or just a smart person tell me if Gundy and Stoops will leave their current posts. I'm starting to think both will be back in the Big XII next year. Also, will ISU fire proud Paul? I sure hope not. I dunno if I could handle losing Bo and Paul in one season.

That sounds rightish.  Now would be a convenient time to leave the SEC West though.

My educated guess is that the only school in the big 12 will be KU who will have a different coach from what they started with this year.

Hugh Freeze has an offer from Florida. With an 11-13 SEC record?

The sec is really incestual, just like the nfl

Todd Leabo on 810 made a funny little mash up of all of Gundy's 5 second answers on yesterday's coach's conference call (it starts at about the 18:00 mark of the pod cast, I would link it but it appears 810's site is down).  If nothing else, he sounded like a guy that might take a 5 year/$25M offer from NU.

I feel like the odds of him being in Stillwater next year have gone from about 75% to 45% in the last week or so.

After this season, I just don't know how attractive of a candidate he is.  If he goes, it will be for less than what he was probably offered in the past.  For being an alum, having endless resources, and a decent pay check, he sure seems to hate that place.

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.

In talking to a lot of OSU guys at work, it sounds like he and the AD don't get along at all.  It's very much a Frank/Currie type situation.

about time

the k-state effect took just a little bit longer this time around

[Cartierfor3]

2 of the top 5 winningest all time programs are on coaching searches. I'd say Michigan is a top 15 job but Nebraska maybe like a top 30 job? I dunno.

[michigancat]

michigan is probably top 10 and Nebraska is probably top 20

[Cartierfor3]

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.

[Yard Dog]

michigan is probably top 10 and Nebraska is probably top 20

Nebraska is only Top 20 if you have astronomical and immediate success. They are so fire happy over there that two 7 win seasons probably = FIRED.

I think you can nitpick a little (everyone has a different opinion), but that's a good ranking.  Good job, CF3.

[Rage Against the McKee]

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.

[420seriouscat69]

Oklahoma state would have to be top 30 cause Boone!

Michigan St., Arkansas, South Carolina are debatably  better IMO. (I also think FSU could knock mich down a peg.) But overall pretty good list.

michigan is probably top 10 and Nebraska is probably top 20

Nebraska is only Top 20 if you have astronomical and immediate success. They are so fire happy over there that two 7 win seasons probably = FIRED.

A program with high expectations who is willing (and able) to fire someone who fails to meet them makes a job better, not worse.

[420seriouscat69]

Honarable Mentions: Oklahoma State, Iowa, North Carolina, Miami Fl, UCLA, Cal, Mizzou...

[Mr Bread]

Michigan State is not a top job if Michigan gets good again.  It's an okay job.

[chuckjames]

Oklahoma state would have to be top 30 cause Boone!

WHAT IS K-STATE???

1. Kansas State
