Was listening to Andy/Ari pod and they weren't so sure Brian Kelly would land a P4 job.
Also on another pod, I think it was Feldman who said after Patterson got let go from TCU, he thought he had a good chance at either Nebraska and Auburn when really he didn't. Point he was making is that these coaches remember themselves at their peaks not as currently how they may be viewed.
I've heard similar stories from the CFB media in the past about Houston Nutt and Phil Fulmer.
Point being one time big names can land up anywhere if they still have the bug and really want to coach.

Houston Nutt- there's a name haven't heard in a long while. Permanently sidelined at 54 years old in 2011 bc of recruiting violations? Solid W-L record.

Is it worse to be FSU and have had a fairly recent taste of success and championships and be where they are now, or to be Rutgers?
You know the saying…..better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all.
One thing I've always wondered is why schools spend a fortune on hiring a firm to help narrow down their next coach (which Maryland just did). I guess there must be more to it than I realize.
But programs always have and always will make bad hires even using these firms, so still not sure about it...

Totally agree.
Any idiot (speaking for myself, of course) with an internet connection knows the names:
Eck, Huff, Dickert, Napier, Haines (Indiana OC), Mullen, Indiana DC.
Lincoln Riley, Deion Sanders and Kyle Whittingham: Inside the jobs that could shake up the coaching carousel

Rutgers
Despite considerable outside speculation about Greg Schiano's future, multiple industry sources believe the job is less likely to open than the public thinks, at least for now. Schiano's $17 million-plus buyout is more burdensome for the Rutgers athletic department than for many of its Power Four peers, as it faced a $78 million deficit in the 2024-25 fiscal year. Rutgers is 2-5 this season and has a challenging remaining schedule which includes Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Yeah Phil was doing really sheety. NJ guy, good OC, but he bombed at Wisconsin

Don’t know but they did leave themselves an out with the “at least not yet”….gives the impression that a lower threshold of wins might save him.
Before the season, I was thinking he’d likely be back even with 4 or 5 wins but 3 or less it would be hard to keep him even with the buyout figure. I thought the UMass loss might have changed that calculus but maybe not.

And the Maryland article says:
“It’s an OK job. Good facilities and good recruiting landscape,” one agent with clients in all Power Four conferences, said. “If they don’t up their NIL budget, I can’t see them contending for a guy like Jake Dickert or Jason Eck.”
This does not make a lot of sense in light of UCLA and Bob Chesney:

| Purdue | 20,367,000 | 15,600,000 | 4,767,000 |
The only “impression” that it gives is that they know absolutely nothing and somebody somewhere read something on this board written by somebody who knows absolutely nothing.
Could have been overheard at the Subway on Easton.

That was Chas Dodd and his family, correct?
Chas literally looks like the saving my life meme:
I believe the Indiana OC is Mike Shanahan who was with Cignetti at JMU.
Front office sports Brian Kelly interview about a bunch of things in college footall but one question about RU.
FOS: Rutgers has been struggling this season. Your name has been mentioned as a possible coach for the Scarlet Knights. Your thoughts?
BK: This is the normal period of time where I’ve always, when I’ve been in the coaching business, deflected all of those, “Hey, I’m taking another job.” Now I’m out of it. It’s natural that your name is going to come up. It’s way too early for me to entertain any of those thoughts. If it materializes, we’ll certainly listen. But Greg Schiano is a friend. I’m pulling for him. I hope they win all their games. Because he’s a good football coach and it’d be good for Rutgers.

Brian Kelly Not Closing Door on Return to Coaching
Kelly spoke with FOS about his rookie season in sports media, the pressures facing his LSU successor, and an expanded CFP.

Kelly spoke with FOS about his rookie season in sports media, the pressures facing his LSU successor, and an expanded CFP.
Regarding Kelly, it was mentioned on a recent TKR podcast that it is very unlikely he would end up at RU. It actually has more to do with the RU administration not being interested rather than the other way around.
I mentioned in one of these threads that on an Andy/Ari pod they said they weren’t sure Kelly would land a P4 job this cycle.
