2012 NCAA Coaching Searches - Page 2

Marmel · 11-27-2012, 12:26 PM

If the school wanting to hire him can give a reasonable arguement to the NCAA as to why, then he can coach but he will be suspended for the first five games of the regular season, plus any conference championship game or bowl game.

Given the Bruce Pearl situation - and the Kiffie probation stuff - I can't see UT touching a guy who has a Show Cause with a hundred foot pole.

Maybe they just know they're going to fire the next guy in three years.

In other words, the agent for Miles is trying to get his contract bumped up at LSU.

He is a very controversial host that a lot of people hate but he is the equivalent of Howard Stern for SEC radio. Usually pretty credible stuff and in the know accept when it comes to Auburn.

If Pinkel left it would be demoralizing for the Mizzou fanbase. I don't think he should go. Like you said, he's done a ton for the school.

Logan · 11-28-2012, 03:27 PM

In a move that surprises no one, Miles has agreed to an extension with LSU. Which led to this good tweet:

@RandyRosetta LSU AD says Les Miles contract extension is not in reaction to another offer & says media won't believe him. He's right.

Iowa is not searching for any coaches........unfortunately.

Greg Davis comes back as OC after Iowa produces on of the worst performances in FBS.

The fanbase is up in arms. Not a happy group. But Ferentz has an $18 million dollar buyout.

Ferentz had his end of season presser today. He was smug, condescending and flippant. A jerk. Who made excuses when he said there were no excuses. Among other idiotic answers. And our weak press let him go. No tough questions.

What has Iowa gotten themselves into?

Maybe our AD will get fired.

Not to continue the threadjack, but I'm a UNC alum who fondly remembers all those great games we played in the 90s. I still get pissed off thinking about Randolph Childress ABSOLUTELY KILLING US FROM OUTSIDE and we still couldn't figure out how to stop him. I'd really like to see Wake find its mojo again. Hasn't been the same since Odom left.

Dave Doeren hired as North Carolina State Wolfpack coach - ESPN

Doeren to NCSate.

Wolfpack · 12-01-2012, 07:46 PM

Reaction I've seen has been mixed to positive. Most of the negatives have to do with the fact that he wasn't at NIU very long (in a sense, it still wasn't "his" program, but he maintained someone else's work), that he was from NIU, period (that is, he's a lower-level college coach and not a high-major one), and that he was a defensive coach before becoming head coach (after years of an O'Brien/Bible offense, fans are keen for something more...inventive, I guess is the right word).

My own personal take is that this is very much a high risk/high reward hire. He's relatively young, has had some recruiting success in the past when he was assistant at Wisconsin (Montee Ball has been mentioned as one of his pickups), and coming from the MAC, he's relatively inexpensive. So, if he turns out well enough, hopefully it means we've gotten someone we could have around for quite a while and hopefully we'll be big enough to only face the occasional poaching threat from an SEC school. If he doesn't, then he's still not going to cost a whole lot to let go. Is it a home run hire? No. But, there were few that were (State's not getting anybody out of the SEC, for example) and some of those had issues that precluded their hire anyway (ahem, Bobby Petrino).

So, while not a headline-grabbing hire, it has a lot of potential and it looks decent after he coached NIU to the MAC title last night (and that win likely made accepting his hire a bit easier...I'm pretty sure the hire would have been ripped pretty hard had NIU got blown out last night).

Peterson to anywhere but Cal, Stanford, or Oregon would be pretty shocking, especially with the Oregon job possibly on the verge of opening up. But as long as he's at Boise St, internet "done deal" reports will happen every year. Last year it was UCLA, and I think North Carolina.

So guys, what are your thoughts on him? Rumor from several people at Purdue is that the school is basically going to go all-in on him, particularly after Doeren told us that he had no interest and took the NC State job (which, to me, is a bit telling about the direction/quality of our program). Just curious what you guys think and know about Jones.

Yeah, I would love to see him down south, but he has had offers from all over the country at the DC position and he hasn't jumped because he was promised next in line.

I just hope Whitt knows what he is doing and doesn't throw anyone under the bus, he had a piss poor offense and a rookie OC calling the shots. It kept the defense on the field 80% of the time.

Very good gameday coach, although he made such a bad decision with a 4th down call vs Rutgers a few weeks ago that I don't know if I'd ever want him coaching my team. But let's ignore a single mistake. He does a good job getting his QBs to overachieve, he seems to keep finding guys further down in the depth chart that can step in and contribute. Seems to be a solid recruiter re: rankings, nothing too special but gets 3* players continuously.

Along the lines of what you're thinking, I'm surprised he's interested in the Purdue job. To me it says much more about where he thinks Cincy will end up with realignment (read: out of it) and he wants to get out while he can. I think he is good enough for a higher level B1G job, and I doubt he climbs the ladder from within the conference.

But you should be very happy if you get him.

Eh, I'm not as high on him as you are Logan. Not sure what my biggest complaint is about him tho. Heck Dantonio got the Michigan State job after a 18-17 record at Cincy so I do think he could hold out for a better job then Purdue.

Paul Petrino of Arkansas Razorbacks hired as Idaho Vandals coach, sources say - ESPN

Idaho hires Paul Petrino. Idaho is a WAC team, but will be an independent next year (as will NM State) since the WAC won't sponsor football after this year.

molson can speak to this better than me, but really, UI is the flagship. They're not very good obviously outside of that one bowl season they had when Erickson went up there, Kibbie Dome is tiny and they need to really go back to FCS and play in the Big Sky (where they're wanted) but...all of the state officials still come from Idaho since it's the flagship and there's some resentment that the former Boise Junior College is now some kind of football power.

Plus some distinction of not wanting to be the first FBS school to go back down to FCS. I just don't know where their conference lifeline is going to come from, Sun Belt doesn't want them back, Mountain West told them "stop trying to make fetch happen, Idaho. It's not going to happen." and so, really...it's a matter of them playing chicken.

The good news about an independent schedule means if they schedule well, they should be able to achieve bowl eligibility relatively short order. And it seems likely they'll work out a deal with the Idaho Potato Bowl akin to what Hawaii has with the Hawaii bowl.

I am really confused at this one.

A. You could be right because Boulder is the exact opposite of the type of environment that Provo is and Bronco wears the Provo experience on his sleeve. Just doesn't seem like a good fit and many decision makers at BYU love him and could pony up more money.

B. There has been alledged friction between Bronco and AD Tom Holmoe and this has easily been the most frustrating season for BYU fans since he took over. Bronco does not always have the thickest of skins and with many believing he badly mishandled the QB situation, it could be to the point he is looking for a change and/or escape from the pressure of Provo.

There are also rumors of disharmony among some of the coaches, so if he does stay I see changes on the staff.

korme · 12-03-2012, 10:10 PM

Hearing that Butch has all but agreed to become CU's next coach. Dantonio, Kelly, now Jones. Ugh

Idaho is apparently about to hire (Paul) Petrino. That has to be one of the worst jobs in the country in that they don't have a conference, they can't win, and yet they appear to have some type of expectation and keep firing coaches.
