Bohl's guarantee for the first three years in Wyoming is $750k. A win win. Huge raise for Bohl and Wyoming got to be "cost efficient" on this hire to boot, without sacrificing a possible good fit.

Outside of Tressel, once I heard the names of the guys Rutgers was going after, I knew we were fucked. I would have greatly preferred Dave Clawson to bringing Flood back, and would have been extremely happy to get a guy like Narduzzi who would have been able to get us to at least a competitive level in the B1G, with some upside. Our donor base was delusional to think we could do, or deserve to do, any better.

Yeah, the decision to keep seems ... strange. I mean, wouldn't the conference switch be the time to make the change, not a year later?

Please stop trying to make sense of this. Our AD has and will always continue to be a joke. If the school was located 75 miles further south we'd be discussing dropping down a level in football entirely.

I wouldn't prefer Dave Clawson or Narduzzi to making a switch. As far as I'm concerned if you're going to fire a coach with a winning record after his second year, it better be a big name like Tressel. Otherwise, it sets bad expectations for coaches after the second year. |

That winning record means absolutely nothing when it's built on beating up horrible teams. We didn't beat a winning team this year...0-5. Similar results last year. If Temple didn't stupidly go for a 4th and inches with a shotgun run, we finish 5-7 and miss a bowl game.
Clawson and Narduzzi have HoF-type accomplishments during their careers compared to what Flood had when he fell into this job. |

Ah, you mean the model that keeps Georgia Tech's bowl streak alive? More seriously though, that same thing could be said for a lot of teams that have winning records/are going bowling. I understand the frustration but at the same time, that's probably life outside of a relatively handful of truly major programs. Your 6 wins this year are Sagarin ranked: 233, 201, 80, 104, 119, 143 An 8-4 team beat Sagarin 133, 162, 200, 46, 100, 85, 141, 148 Basically the difference between Rutgers & Boise State is a win over Utah State ... and is that really something to write home about?

I'm somewhere in the middle between you and Jon. I agree you don't want to set unrealistic expectations, and I don't mind some of the tough losses we've had over the years, but the blowout losses do bother me. Losing to a terrible UConn team bothers me. Barely getting by SMU and more so Temple bother me. But when it comes down to it, It's not my money and I can understand why people putting up the big cash would want a flashy hire. Like I wrote on scarlet nation, when it comes down to it next year, if Rutgers has to make a coaching change next year, similar candidates are going to be there. There will be a young coordinator from a major school, there will be MAC head coaches to hire. My bigger concern is that we are potentially digging an even deeper hole to get out of. Hopefully we can bring in a good defensive coordinator and we can get more out of the players on our defense, because I think we do have talent back there.

Mack Brown is stepping down after 16 years. Orangebloods.com tweeted this a few minutes ago.

Speaking of Narduzzi...
UConn seeks to interview Michigan State football DC Pat Narduzzi for head coach opening | MLive.com Dude more than deserves a shot at being a HC. Can't wait to have him gone from MSU as well.

Sounds like it is going to come down to the outcome of a regents meeting to discuss whether or not Bill Powers, the president of UT-Austin stays on the job. If he goes, Brown leaves for sure.

I hear that Gary Pinkel is linked to the job. Clearly, Texas is jealous of Missouri's success and wants it all for themselves. Expect an announcement in next 29 minutes.

I think a fun question would be figuring out who the frontrunner for a hypothetical vacancy at Bama would be.

The obvious choice if Bama wants to get a chuckle out of everyone would be to hire Urban Meyer.

So if Saban is indeed going to be the next coach at UT, that means he'd have to do a show on the Longhorn Network. If the show was in the evening, I wonder what the name of the show would be?

He'd have to spend a few seasons at LSU first.

Nah, I like it when people try to be obtuse and missed the point
As for the game, it happens. I'll take another 10 losses and still be thankful for 4.8 |

Going on their 4th coach in 4 years I believe. Perhaps the AD is over-qualified for that position and needs a bigger program.

Yup, but that's what happens when you're Arky State. Alternatively, they could hire an old coach who will stay until retirement. Tough on players, but so long as the schemes don't change dramatically and a lot of the core staff remain, then it's just a new CEO-figure in place. Not like ArkyState is churning out tons of pros anyway, so...it sucks for the players, but again...what would they rather have -- good coaches who go on to bigger and better -- or some dude who is just mailing it in to retire.

Most of that list is pretty ridiculous. NFL coaches? Urban Meyer? Jimbo Fisher? Jim Mora?

They're barely candidates. It's obvious that the next Bama coach, based on his ridiculous skyrocketing career arc, is Lane Kiffin. Even better, all of the SEC already hates him.
