2013 College Football coaching carousel

Bill O'Brien would be skewered for leaving after one season.

 

Bill O'Brien would be stupid to leave Penn State, especially after getting a four-year extension (Nine total years) before he even coached a game, due to the penalties. At $2.3 mil a year? Plus an $11 mil buyout? Not going to happen.

Also - expect the NCAA to revisit the bowl ban after next season. If the school looks to be making progress in its reforms, they'll probably have the bowl ban lifted after next season.

 

Golden may have been blindsided but what has he demonstrated in the past two years at UM to be a hot commodity? There haven't been any sanctions yet and he is 11-11 and a 7-8 record in a piss-poor conference.

 

Maybe the Hurricanes he inherited are a bunch of dogs.
All the talent in the world, but that will get you only so far.

 

I don't know if after next season, maybe after the third year. And the job O'Brien has done has been better than anyone could have expected.

 

Presuming Penn State will even be able to attain Bowl elgibilty after those massive scholarship reductions kick in starting next year. Some seem to forget that the sanctions designed to cripple their competitiveness have barely begun to kick in yet. Losing 20 schollys per year over the next four years should make it extremely tough to maintain the type of play they've shown this year.

Maybe that, rather than the bowl ban, is the sanction the NCAA might consider revisiting. Depriving a bunch of kids of a college scholarship hardly seemed to me like the best way to punish Penn St. anyways.

 

Stoney is very correct. Look no further than USC for the answer. They have top-line talent to compete with anyone, but they just don't have the depth, so the possibility of 12-0 or 11-1 has become the reality of somewhere between 9-3 and 7-5. Expect a similar slide from PSU.

 

I believe he was finally paid off.

Now he gets $40K-plus a month in state pension benefits for the rest of his life, thanks to Oregon's including his Nike and media money and other non-state income into the final salary used to determine his pension by the state's idiotic public-employee retirement system.

 

That's outrageous.

 

Kiffin and UT ... make-up sex?

 

Will Dooley find all his stuff in boxes when he goes back to his office tonight?
