Coaching Carousel ‘25

[leo from jersey]

wouldn't it be nice to see the young men in this year's UM class just say screw it, and drop UM? i'm sure that they're all rated highly enough to have other teas that would gladly take them. ****, lloyd carr's grandson was committed to miami (OH), before flipping to TTUN.

Many have signed NIL -- also UM pays better than most. If it just about $$$$$$$ I can see them sticking. Kirk Herbstreit's son is on the UM squad. He wasn't all league in the GCL.

Wait -- I have read many say that the Cats need a sports minded president like S. Ono. Didn't his love for winning get UM into all the problems they had the last few years. He was in charge. He quickly ran too. In olden days , they were called carpetbaggers. This opens up some discussion between Pino who is tolerating a poor sports program or the likes of Ono who appears to be more than just a super fan.

IF Satterfield were to be let go (he won't) his buyout does drop significantly on Jan 1 2026 with us owing 70% of his remaining contract instead of 100. I don't see us spending that amount of $$$ right now... but for fun who would you pick? If Jesse Minter doesn't goto Michigan do you think he would even consider coming here? I think that would be my #1 choice.

It's not even worth speculating because it won't happen. Next year will be really tough with all the portal exits and who knows what CSS can bring in. Another year near the bottom of the conference.

Brian Smith is officially out at Ohio U

https://ohiobobcats.com/news/2025/12/17/ohio-university-head-football-coach-brian-smith-relieved-of-his-duties.aspx

"The termination follows an administrative review of allegations that Smith violated the terms of his employment agreement by engaging in serious professional misconduct and participating in activities that reflect unfavorably on the University."

That gives me an idea... maybe Frank Solich would come out of retirement for the Bearcats.

College athletics in 2025:
Arizona State football coach Kenny Dillingham on what ASU needs to become an elite program:
“We need to find one of these really rich people in this city to step up and stroke a check…We live in Phoenix, Arizona. You’re telling me there’s not one person who could stroke a $20 million check right now? There is somebody out here who can.”


Maybe ASU found one of those donors.

This was a rumor last week about this after ND bowed out of the bowl game. Marcus Freeman is at the top of the list for the NY Giants HC position
