Coaching Carousel - who is going where

cadman

Decided to give it its own topic with all the changes likely.

Florida hire Bill Napier

USC hires Lincoln Riley. 

Bob Stoops is Oklahoma's interim coach. Does he take the job full time?

LSU still looking.

It's an annual event. I like watching NCAA football but hate the process.

MelbourneMark

Riley seems like a great hire.  UF coach looks promising too. 

Stoops should stay if possible. Not too many better jobs than OU. 

Soda Popinski

I imagine Lane Kiffin goes somewhere he's done a great job at Ole Miss.   LSU maybe?   I still don't get why they let Orgeron go but oh well.

Supposedly only two coaching jobs could get Stoops out of retirement, Oklahoma or Notre Dame. But he didn't want to go back into coaching until his son graduates. One of his sons is a Redshirt junior for Oklahoma. I don't think he wants to be the coach while his son is on the team. but this might change his mind.

I'm wondering why Lincoln took the USC job.  Oklahoma has been better over the past decade and he's been recruiting for years for that program as well.   I can see LSU because you can really recruit some talent there and make a run.   But USC?  I dont' see it.

Easier to make playoff every year in pac 12 than SEC, my humble opinion.

But Oklahoma is in the Big 12 their biggest hurdles are Baylor and Oklahoma State every year.   I'd rather play them than Oregon every year.

Surprised me as well. I understood he made about $7.5 mil at Oklahoma and LSU offered him $12 mil a year. I am surprised USC was able to compete with that. 

But some sportswriters think it was because Oklahoma was going to the SEC and he was not a fan of the move. Maybe why he turned down LSU. Some coaches do not want the pressure of competing in the SEC every year.

See my post above Oklahoma is moving to the SEC in the next few years. Earley as 2023 or as late as 2025.

Ahhh Gotcha.   I USC is a great school i'm sure he'll turn the program around.  I just liked beating up on them lately because Notre Dame is doing pretty well.  Not a top 4 team this year if we make the playoff i'll be surprised.   But Man once that oline came together things clicked pretty well.  Hard to be upset over 11-1 seasons every year and a top 10 program every year.   Brian Kelly has done a phenomenal job I hope he stays with Notre Dame another 10 years.

Now sources are reporting that LSU is going after Brian Kelly

I doubt it, but who knows.

So let's say Kelly does go to LSU, Urban Meyer always talked about coaching at Notre Dame awhile ago.  Wonder if there is any possibility his ego takes him there if ND ups the salary. 

"Meyer is a devout Roman Catholic and on several occasions has referred to the head coaching position at the University of Notre Dame as his "dream job,"

If his wife or the lady ain't upset, nobody else should be.

Gators are trying to get either Jim Knowles or Doug Belk to be Defensive Coordinator. Another great hire if they can pull it off. 

cadman

LSU is supposed to announce Brian Kelly is the new coach tomorrow. 

Tony Roma

If that’s true it’s gonna be a lot of money, not sure if Kelley has any ties to the south. Will be a culture shock for him for sure. I kinda think that was Mullen’s problem , southern just didn’t get him. 

Griz

I heard Kelly as well.  

wynnv

Its being reported around 10 mil a year for Kelly plus incentives. I saw one report that said close to 15 a year.

Tony Roma

Rumor was Riley got 12 mil, they bought both his houses in Oklahoma for 500k over market value , building him a 6 mil house and he gets exclusive use of the private jet. All rumor but sounds good enough to leave. 

cadman

Stoops wants to coach again. If Kelly goes to LSU as expected, both of his dream jobs are open. 

But ND is a lot of coaches dream job for some reason.

CBS sports is reporting $15 mil a year, ten year contract. 

Riley was #$12 mil for 8 years. 

mrblugil

reports out of La,$100 mil plus,buy a lot of mud bugs with that

Soda Popinski

It's a sad day to be a Notre Dame fan.   Kelly really built that team into the best version of itself it could be.   I dont' see us ever being as good as we have been the past 10 years.   Always right in the mix with the top 5-6 programs in the country while having the highest academic standards of them all.    I don't think i'll see another run like that again. 

cadman

LSU just announced Kelly's hire. It is really $9.5 mil a year for 10 years. That is in line with what they offered Riley and Jimbo. 

Soda Popinski

He'll never enjoy the success he had at Notre Dame.  Not in the SEC with Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Auburn, ole miss.   Anyone can beat you on any given Saturday.   His recruiting will be tougher but he'll be able to get the players he wants easier than ND.   
I don't think he'll have the same success he had at LSU and I am not confident at all that ND will have the kind of success the had with him.

Just think, a coach that finishes 3rd in the SEC west each year will be making over 9 million a year.

Coaching is big $$ these days  

Tony Roma

I think he felt he could never get over the hump at Notre Dame with the higher academic standards. If Coach O could get a ring there he can.
