Coaching Carousel Prediction Thread...

[57stratdawg]

So, a couple jobs are officially open, others are rumored. Prettt simple, give your guess who the coach next year will be and we'll see who comes out the closest in a couple weeks:

LSU -
Texas -
Baylor -
Notre Dame -
Oregon -
Texas A&M -
FSU -
Mississippi State -
Purdue -

Bonus: Where does ED Orgeron end up and at what position?

 

[Lettucexxxx]

LSU - Jimbo
Texas - Herman
Baylor - some poor sumbitch
Notre Dame - kiff
Oregon - Aranda
Texas A&M - sum
FSU - peterson
Mississippi State - Mull
Purdue - miles

Bonus: Where does ED Orgeron end up and at what position? LSU dcord

 

[civildawg88]

0% chance Peterson leaves Washington

 

[Lettucexxxx]

I’m Rick Harrison and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss, and in 23 years I’ve learned one thing. You never know what is gonna come through that door.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

LSU - Dylan
Texas - Dylan
Baylor - Dylan
Notre Dame - Dylan
Oregon - Dylan
Texas A&M - Dylan
FSU - Dylan
Mississippi State -Dylan
Purdue -Dylan

 

[missouridawg]

LSU - Fisher
Texas - Hermann
Baylor - Morris
Notre Dame - Matt Rhule
Oregon - Fedora
Texas A&M - Sumlin
FSU - Mullen
Mississippi State - Fleck. Hell, I don't know.
Purdue - Miles

Bonus: Where does ED Orgeron end up and at what position? On Kiffins next staff as D.C.

Extra Bonus - Lane Kiffin goes to UNC as HC.

That would be quite an accomplishment for Mullen to parlay a losing season into one of the premier jobs in the country.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

LSU - Jimbo Agree
Texas - Herman Agree
Baylor - some poor sumbitch Chad Morris from SMU
Notre Dame - kiffin Kiffin is taking over at Alabama, Saban is going to the NFL. P.J. Fleck is my dark horse choice.
Oregon - Aranda Following other Boise State coaches, look for Bryan Harsin
Texas A&M - sum Agree
FSU - peterson Peterson isn't leaving Washington. Dark horse could be Willie Taggart of South Florida, but more than likely they'll keep in in-house and hire Randy Sanders.
Mississippi State - Mull Mullen is going to Boston college. Look for Geoff Collins or Neal Brown from Troy. Dark Horse would be Charlie Strong.
Purdue - miles Good choice for both schools. Miles is a Big 14, errrr, Big 10 kind of coach and Purdon't would be a good fit.
the university of olemiss- after their entire staff gets a show-cause, the Rebels will hire Willie Taggart of South Florida. Has a similar wide-open offense as Freeze, plus they'll hope to get off from the Death Penalty by hiring an African-American coach. Unlike Sylvester Croom, this coach is very talented.
Bonus: Where does ED Orgeron end up and at what position? LSU dcord. Either there, or HC at some Sun belt school

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

That would be quite an accomplishment for Mullen to parlay a losing season into one of the premier jobs in the country.

They'll look at what Dak Prescott is doing, and say that if Dak could lead State to 19 wins in 2 seasons, what could Mullen do at a University that basically recruits itself.

Start thinking big picture... I'll help.

Grab a pen and paper... and start writing down the names of coaches who fit this description:
1) Been a HC or Coordinator on NC winning team
2) Great developer of QBs
3) Been a HC of a P5 team for more than 5 seasons
4) Overachieved as a HC
5) Plays the politics of CFB well
6) Puts players regularly in NFL

If your list has more than 10 names on it, you're doing it wrong. Mullen is a top 10 coach in the country regardless of if Westin Graves makes a 30 yard FG or if a U.K. Kicker misses a 50 yard FG.

What are Mullens weaknesses?
Recruiting? Will fix itself at FSU.
Choosing a DC? Easier to purchase and retain at FSU.
OL? See recruiting note.
Job shopping? Not at FSU.

Does FSU have a ready built team for high success? Francois and that defense will win 9-10 next year with any kind of guidance.

Mullen would kill it at FSU. Absolutely kill it.

 

[PBRME]

Merlinz to State!1!1!1!11!!!!1

 

[civildawg88]

I will lose my mind if Collins is the next coach at Msu. The Troy guy would be good though.

 

[Spiderman.sixpack]

LSU - Jimbo Agree

Bonus: Where does ED Orgeron end up and at what position? LSU dcord. Either there, or HC at some Sun belt school

FSU, or anybody else ain't hiring Sanders as HC

If State were to hire Strong as HC if the job came open... I'm done for life

Collins would not be in top 5, Brown either.

 

[civildawg88]

A lot of lsu posters are saying they have Herman and something will come out tomorrow. We shall see

 

[SouthFarmchicken]

^^^^This^^^^^

Hiring Collins would be a horrible hire. The only positive would be that the D would return to mediocre.

 

[57stratdawg]

I'll go:

LSU - Fisher
Texas - Herman
Baylor - Morris
ND - Kelly
Oregon - MH
Texas A&M - Sumlin
FSU - Miles
MSU - Strong
Purdue - Fleck

Orgeron - DL coach at LSU

 

[missouridawg]

Mullen to where?

 

[MaroonNation]

I fail to see the love for Strong as any other position than DC

 

[57stratdawg]

BC? NC (if Fedora leaves)? Ok State?

I think he leaves for a job that's opened up after their coach leaves.

 

[tatedog]

A lot of lsu posters are saying they have Herman and something will come out tomorrow. We shall see

Was just looking over there and yeah at this point it seems like if they don't get Herman it's going to be a huge let down.

 

[tatedog]

So, a couple jobs are officially open, others are rumored. Prettt simple, give your guess who the coach next year will be and we'll see who comes out the closest in a couple weeks: :

LSU - Joey Freshwater
Texas - Kliff Kingsbury
Baylor - Houston Nutt
Notre Dame - Art Briles
Oregon - Rick Neuheisel
Texas A&M - Tommy Tuberville
FSU - Steve Spurrier
Mississippi State - Les Miles
Purdue - Hugh Freeze

Bonus: Where does ED Orgeron end up and at what position?

Recruiting coordinator at USC for Orgeron.

These are my dream hires, not expectations.

I think Mullen would kill it at fsu. After losing a HC to lsu, I think it would be a hard sell to the fanbase to replace jimbo with a HC coming off a losing year. I think fuente, chip Kelly, and fedora would be higher on their list

Mullen isn't exactly a guidance guru. His teams are consistently unprepared and shaky in big games, which is a direct reflection of Dan being frazzled and lacking leadership. Hell, he over-analyzes his way out of the game before the ball even kicks off.

The team would get 8-10 wins but he will never win a national championship (or make to a CFP Final) and at FSU that is unacceptable. They can do better and they will.

This is the best response ever.

We'll just have to disagree.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

Y'all seem to be forgetting about one man who's best for any job

 

[civildawg88]

A pretty reputable poster on an sec board just posted saying kiffin or leach will be the coach at Msu next year. I thought that was an interesting post just out of the blue.

I've heard Leach's name sporadically mentioned the last two years of Mullen shopping. Mind you by no one of note. On the surface kind of a quirky but good fit.

I can't fathom a worse match than Kiffen and Starkville.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

As the #1 Mike Leach fanboy in America, I would be pretty stoked if he came here, but I highly doubt it. What's the source on that rumor?

 

[o_dawgnabit]

We hate watching our defenses now.... have you ever seen a Mike leach defense?

 

[civildawg88]

Guy on tigerdroppings just posted it out of thin air. I really like leach but if we thought Mullen recruiting was bad, leach is probably even worse

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

We would be lucky to get strong.

 

[57stratdawg]

I don't like the idea of trying to find air raid QBs year in and out either. I bet Sunny Dykes gets some phone calls this offseason.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Leach's defenses the last couple of years have actually been pretty decent. Much better than our defense. I think Leach has found a D coordinator he likes and just leaves him alone.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

Last year we were 36th in scoring in the nation. Leach 74th. 2014 we were 23rd and Leach 117th. This year is his best and they are 48th. We obviously suck.

 

[Spiderman.sixpack]

We would be lucky to get strong.

As a HC?!!!!!

Holy hell

 

[Dawgpoundrock21]

If Mullen goes it has to be fleck or app st coach

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

I promise you that guy will be successful at any job title wherever he lands.
