Sumrall made the decision to move forward with it
Hartline, for example, wasn't willing to do that until after the CCG
Kiffin was going to delay things a week as well had they made their CCG which is why Ole Miss tried to force his hand
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date

Honestly I’d be happy with Diaz. Better than most of the names that have been in contention
Unlike Krafty The Clown, it sounds like 'Ole Miss had "a plan" before they sent Kiffin packing and said not only "no", but "hell no" to him remaining HC through the Playoffs.
From what I’ve heard, he’s taking the offensive side of the ball and the defensive side of the ball left behind

UF is apparently going to let Sumrall continue coaching at Tulane through the end of their season. Perhaps the candidates on our board do not want to accept another job until their current one ends, their current employers won't allow them to stay once they accept a new job, or PSU has told them in advance we will not allow them to continue at their current job once we hire them. I'm honestly shocked that any program would allow a coach to double dip, that creates opportunity for all sorts of issues and conflicts of interest. If I'm Sumrall I'm talking to everyone at Tulane to identify those to bring to UF as there isn't much Tulane can do to stop it.
I like Manny, but he doesn’t move the needle as the home run hire we were led to believe PSU was pursuing. He’s a great DC. HC…meh. I’ll gladly eat crow though.
"Obviously" I am not Mr. Chesney but I have been suggesting his hiring for several weeks based on his body of work as a HC.Thank you Mr. Chesney.
Go get Hartline, bring in Chip Kelly as OC and give Knowles another year to see if the defense develops year 2. Hartline’s initial contract will be similar to Franklin’s buyout. If it doesn’t work out after 2-3 years, you can go for the $15m/yr offer then.
I know you are. I think all of us are tired of the waiting but today's large number of new coaching announcements must get things moving closer for a PSU hire.
OK. That's a good landing spot for him.From the coaching carousel thread:

For f*ck’s sake.

No on Knowles. He has had his opportunity.
With all the crap he’s put Ole Miss through. I don’t think he’s a home run. More like a hoe run.

Hard pass on Knowles. After all the expected departures on D you are allowing him another shot to install his 3 year defense to a new set of recruits and transfers? He did well at tOSU because the defense was already loaded with studs. I don't see Kelly coming back to college anytime soon
IMO only he is the first fire that should happen.
You’ve been his biggest cheerleader on the board. Seems like he has a big potential upside. We’ll see how it works out..
Almost every coach that PS was supposedly interested in is off the board. The field hasn't just narrowed it's all but disappeared which might be an indication of how small Kraft's list actually was. HR hire? I doubt at this point that one by this board's standard is actually doable even if one still exists.
Knowles has won a title--it's not the worst idea to give him a second year
Just depends on who the HC is
This isn't true--the only one they were "interested" in that is off the board is Elko
Let Hartline or anyone else pick their own staff.
In a conference that played zero D, he was the tallest midget
Agree. We were lead to believe that the coaching change was to “get over the hump” and beat OSU/Michigan/Oregon, but this has circled into a complete rebuild.
There is only one home run hire left. DeBoer. And he's going to stay at Alabama. I'm sorry to say that I believe Kraft screwed the pooch. Tough situation for him. There was no hope with Franklin. He lost the team and evidently couldn't figure out how to get anything going. I honestly don't think he would have reached 6 - 6.
Out of curiosity, if he's willing to leave before the playoff, why wouldn't he leave before the CCG?
Saban or Meyer would be a home run as well but they aren’t happening either. We’ll never know if he could have gotten to 6-6. It’s looking like Kraft acted with no plan…and may still not have one.
Because he accepts that he can't stay until mid-January but leaving before the CCG creates chaos--they'll have almost a month to prepare the playoff without him.
Hartline has coached and recruited at the highest level of competition on national championship teams. Chesney has not.
Again, if he hires Hartline next Sunday or Monday then he always had a plan an executed his plan perfectly
Go big with Elko--if not, hire the best recruiter/coordinator in the country

If so, he should be let go also. He had as much time as anyone to get this figured out and here we are still.
At this point I think it's going to be Chesney. All the chips that have fallen clear the path for him to be the next HC.
I guess Im going to be an outlier here. I'm totally not sweating this hire. I believe there has been a lot of assumed names thrown around with no facts behind interest from either side. I truly feel that the doom and gloom is a knee perk reaction to signing day coming, commits leaving and being pushed against a tight window. I have no issue that Franklin was removed when he was, hell practically everyone demanded it, at least it sounded that way every game day. I think when this drops it will be big enough. If im wrong Im sure you will all let me know! Lol...
