2019-20 college football coaching carousel

The act of "showing proof" is a tricky one that rarely carries all the way through in that unstable world. But the leverage is always there because you're never hiring a coach to be worth the ok money you could give them.

 

A Saban acolyte? Not likable? Shocked, SHOCKED I say!

 

He’s a better head coach than Mel Tucker.

But I think the guy they want is already there. Chivarini.

 

Colorado has had what...two winning seasons in the past 14-15 years? And I think the head coaches have been all right. It just isn't as easy of a place to win as it was in the 80s and 90s. And it's on the bottom end of a conference that's fading further into football obscurity. The ceiling for Colorado is probably eight wins and that's with Tucker recruiting about as well as anyone had in years at that school.

Even though Michigan State has probably suffered more in the won-loss column than any other school since the Big Ten realigned the conferences from Legends/Leaders, they did win 10 games two years ago.

 

Yeah, but how long do you think it will be before they do it again?

 

Colorado's only winning season since 2005 was at 10-4 in 2016. It was 6-6 before a bowl loss in 2007

 

Ask Miss Cleo.

End of the day no one is winning at Colorado, someone has won at Michigan State. Either stay where you can't win or go to the place where someone has won and take twice as much money doing it. Seems like an easy choice.

 

Oh, I don't blame him for taking the job. Most people would move if their salary was doubled and the new job was better.

I've seen any number of messy exits by coaches, and this one was in the top five for the general shittiness of how it was handled.

 

I think Bill McCartney is the most underrated coach in the history of college football.

 

Underrated? He is in the College Football Hall of Fame.
This is an interesting question. Who actually is the most underrated coach ever? I don't know the answer, but I think I know the profile. Has a mediocre to bad overall record because he took on rebuilding jobs; reached greater heights than predecessors or successors; and coached before every game was on TV.
