2019-20 college football coaching carousel

In his four seasons, he had three 5-game losing streaks. That is unreal. The only year he didn't have a 5-game losing streak, he got an extension after the season. That was last offseason.

Maybe Sterk should be in the crosshairs, too. Not a real banner time in the athletic program there.

 

Sterk didn’t hire Odom, but he did hire Cuonzo Martin. But he will be defined with how his football coach hire goes.

 

And he hired Martin for the three games that Porter played.

I’ve long thought Mizzou should go “probation coach” for its rebuild. Someone along the Bruce Pearl route. Perhaps Dave Bliss? Tell Larry Brown to fill in his blank check.

 

I was talking more about giving him a two-year extension amd $600K a year raise, then deciding 12 months later to sack him.

 

Dave Bliss? C’mon, man, that ain’t happening. Although, come to think of it, we used to say Mizzou was so bad the Tigers should be able to carry knives while playing ...

 

No way you couldn’t keep him around for this season and not given him an extension. Otherwise there would be no way to judge his recruiting.

 

Odom’s buyout is less than $3 million, a shit-ton less than a lot of them these days. All assistants’ buyouts add up to about $4.5 million. For less than $8 million, Mizzou starts over. Next coach is probably not making less than $3.5 million — and closer to $4 million if you want anyone worth a fuck.

 

Fox just reporting Schiano got the Rutgers job.

 

Cool. They can spend millions of dollars to still go 2-10, but maybe not get shut out in half of their conference games.

 

If he can prevent every other Big Ten team from raiding the in-state recruits, he has a chance to go 5-7 on the regular.

 

Jersey's top recruits have been going out of state since long before Penn St. joined the Big Ten, let alone Rutgers. Those schools have decades of contacts inside NJ high school football built before Rutgers thought about trying the real big time. It'll be difficult to say the very least to reverse that trend, which is now a tradition.

 

There is nothing about the campus atmosphere in New Brunswick which holds any appeal to a recruit. You only go to Rutgers if you have viable alternatives if you want to stay near home or if you think that the program can get you to the next level. At least with Schiano, there is a chance at the latter.
