Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

[Natty_Ice]

What went wrong with Stoops at KY?  He was generally considered one of the top coaches in the SEC just a few years ago.  Is it all NIL related?

[Feral]

a couple of thoughts.

the sec as a whole could be really down next year with all these g5 guys getting their feet wet in the conference.

the "keeds" get bagged on so much for getting paid, i wonder how much they have gotten since 2022 when nil found it's stride compared to how much failed coaches have been paid to sit at home.

Will definitely be interesting to watch these guys break in.

Our schedule is a murderers row (because of course it is) while Auburn's and Florida's set up nicely for a decent years by Golesh and Sumrall.

I was wondering why Riley's name isn't in the mix more with some of these big openings.

Turns out he's scaring the heck out of 11.5 per year. No one in the SEC is gonna touch that right now unless you're LSU.

The winner today is Ole Miss. Hire from within when your idiot savant foosball coach decides to get on that plane, and just keep rolling. They shocked everyone by naming the interim the permanent immediately. Great move!

That's what Hunter shouldve done when he saw the Penn St, Florida, Auburn, and LSU jobs all opening at the same time.

Instead he had 2 months and hired the Memphis coach, who btw won the same amount of games in November as Petrino.

That's certainly a take.

Meh, I'd argue Ole Miss's AD made an extremely reactionary hire that several ADs probably wouldn't have.

Ole Miss is an infinitely more attractive job now than it was 6+ years ago. They could have probably still made a good hire but ultimately gave Golding the job with zero HC experience, and his side of the ball isn't exactly what Ole Miss was known for in the Kiffin era.

They knew Kiffin was leaving. The only hangup was coaching in the CFP. They should have been working the channels with coaching candidates at least a week ago.

This hire is more akin to State giving the permanent job to Zach Arnett after Leach died than anything else.

I disagree.  I think in this case he made the right move.  They may only keep Golding for a year, and then go searching.  They'd have been joining the party late with a not so great list of potential coaches, and competing against every body and their brother for those coaches.  While I agree, it's an attractive opening... I think trying to keep the staff intact going into the CFP, and waiting to be the hottest gal at the ball next year or so is the right move in their case.

It sounds to me that Keith Carter is going to do whatever it takes to keep that staff right the fuck there at Ole Miss. It's a gamble that others in the building are good at their shit and it's not all Kiffin. If it doesn't work out oh well kick the can a couple years and then go get a better coach. I like Keith Carter...he sounds like someone that gives a fuck, knows what his sugar shaker is, and all together seems to have a plan. Must be nice. If only we had people like that from Arkansas. Oh wait.

Two years ago...the year we should have fired Pittman.

Doesn't he have AR ties?  Why not go poach the dude so we can have some actual damned leadership?

[animal]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Indiana in terms of football isn't overly considered a talent rich state. Certainly not compared to Penn, Michigan, and Ohio next door. From what I understand IU has placed a significant amount of emphasis on pumping dollas into NIL and got out in front of this shit when other schools were still rubbing on their wieners.

Oh he has Arkansas ties alright.  Arkansas kid not recruited by Nolan who then went to Ole Miss and tore up our asses for about 20 points every single time we played them. He is a certified Arkansas hater.  He would probably sell insurance before taking our job.

Oh... So another on the long list of local talent we spurn that goes on to simply own us.  Yeah, that sounds about right.

[TC]

That's certainly a take.

I mean, it's no "watch me shock the world and make the brave move to hire the 0'fer November Memfis coach," but, yeah...

[animal]

Think of all the people that got butthurt thru the years by Arkansas and went on to have success to spite everyone in this state. It's a long list. Conversely the ones that we wanted that got out mostly never amounted to much.

If OM goes out and lays an egg in the first playoff game, it will be pandemonium.

Here in Arkansas we call that play the Wish in One Hand, Shit in the Other.  Mastered by Jeff Long in April, 2012. 

Their success was 99.999999% Lane Kiffin and the rest a bunch of nouveau riche boosters maxing out their lines of credit to buy a roster for him.  They are about to learn a hard lesson about the relative value of a coach to the success of a mid to low tier SEC program...just like we did.

With the OC, co-OC, and WR coach headed to LSU that seems to be a possibility.
