Coaching Carousel 2024

[Lobot]

Louisiana is open, they've fired Bob Marlin.

Former FSU, UC, UK, UCF, QB "guru" Darrin Hinshaw has landed at Purdue. Bookmark this post and we'll see if the QB survives the year up there next season.

Thamel: Wisconsin fired OC Phil Longo

Longo is a Bearkat -- new HC at Sam Houston.

Apparently the team is just Sam Houston (not Sam Houston State), which is similar to what I noticed with recent UC BB opponent Nicholls.

Brian Smith who's currently the interim HC at Ohio U is going to get the full time gig it appears.

Officially announced

Wake Forest is poking around Jake DIckert (Wazzu) and Neal Brown (fired) to replace Dave Clawson

I came here to post that Norfolk St. was first on the Vick bandwagon.

I don’t know how I feel about this. He probably deserves a second chance but that’s a PR disaster waiting to happen

Norfolk State has hired Michael Vick

[GoBearcats31]

I believe he's also been through tOSU and Oklahoma.

Life of a college coach.

According to Wikipedia, he was married in 2003 (when he would have been a GA at Missouri) and has since been to New Hampshire, Wyoming, Missouri again, Washington State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, USC, Wisconsin and UCF. Seems like the southeast was the only part of the contiguous USA that he had not covered until now.

UCF has hired Alex Grinch as DC. He was fired mid-season at Wisconsin, if I recall correctly (probably more collateral damage for Fickell struggles), after being fired by USC in November 2023.

Wake Forest head ball coach Dave Clawson is stepping down

Mike Norvell will stay at FSU with a restructured contract

At some point, the NCAA will change their payouts to match the NFL. Star players in the NFL make 3-5 times what the top coaches get, and there are several lower paid coaches. Imagine UC renogitating Satterfield's contract by $2,000,000 and diverting that money to the players via NIL. Then imagine a young hungry coach willing to take a few hundred thousand for the HC job, knowing he can buy top recruits with the rest (if the university commits) and then parlay a winning season into a job at a win hungry big-money school. Even a coach like Deion can win with the top paid recruits. The youth movement is already all-the-rage in NFL and NCAA head coaching hires.
