I remember when Klieman came to Starkville and made us look terrible. I thought that he was on his way up.

Which now makes me think somebody might come after Lebby. It’s gonna be insane.
Going to be insane but I think it’s more likely that programs recycle just fired coaches than roll the dice on 2nd year coaches that improved enough this year to win 1 or maybe 2 conference games.
There may be too much personal history with freeze, but it’s possible freeze will be Ole Miss’s best option to replace kiffin. Be interesting to see how they’d react to that.

ETA: ole miss could hire freeze dirt cheap and let auburn mostly pay him, then take the savings and the $4M (I think) buyout for kiffin leaving and really put some money towards NIL to help freeze out.

If there is anything Cohen thinks he can use from Starkville at Auburn he will still come raiding whatever he wants.

Serious question: Has there ever been a time when Florida, LSU, Auburn and Arkansas had fired their head coaches mid-season in the same year?

I wonder how much goes on now during the year in preparation for a new coach. Like, maybe it’s better to fire midyear because you can start putting together packages for all the players you want from a decent coach’s team. Wonder if the roster factors into the coach decision these days

If he was fired, the he should be the buyout the contract that both parties signed should be paid. If he just "stepped down", he shouldn't get anything unless the contract called for it.

I'm not a lawyer - just a realist.

Just how many coaches will be replaced by season's end? College football is becoming a crazier place every day,

Butch Jones won on Saturday. He builds them teams brick by brick and makes them winners at life. Just sayin.

Do y'all remember the people at Auburn, I think a former player, preaching at people when they hired Freeze. How did that go for them.

Anyone else think Auburn is about to get a reality check as to where they stand in the SEC / Big 10 pecking order? They’re not going to compete with schools like LSU, Florida & Penn St for a coach. And Kiffin to Auburn which seemed reasonable just 3 years ago would be laughable today.
