2012 Coaching Carousel Catch All Thread

Well played Les.

Yup, school panicked.

Les Miles is the college football equivalent of Roger "Verbal" Kint.

Yup, school panicked.

Sounds like the day of his bowl game, was it, when Michigan had an offer and he delayed a press conference then too.

 

[dayhiker]

There are rumors beginning to surface that Chizik has accepted the Colorado job. Apparently, Michael Dyer and several others members from AU's team are going to transfer. The Honey Badger has already turned in his transfer papers, no matter who the coach is. Ricky Williams has expressed interest being the RB coach. Things will really be smoking before long in the Mile HIGH State!

I'm stealing that and putting it on FB. Hilarious.

It was the day of the SEC Championship.

Interesting note from Les' presser. He decline to say who initiated the contact between Arkansas and his camp.

In a surprise to no one but Vols, Gruden says no to the Tennessee offer.

Aubie co-worker asked me that was the Oklahoma State coach. Then he proceeded to tell me I was being a butt by saying I would let him look that one up.

Another interesting take from Miles's presser:

"John Chavis would make a very good head coach. If Tennessee is looking for quality candidate, John Chavis should be that."

The Chief's love for UT is unquestionable and I've always wondered why he's never been a serious candidate.

Also interesting that Les is pining for him for that job

Agreed... I remember seeing LSU fans tweet out concerns that Chavis would be a top target for Tennessee when the job came open. Granted, he might be at the point where he's content being a coordinator.

 

[rgw]

Chavis could very well end up being the guy who gets the call. The fanbase got their hopes up so high with Gruden that I bet they try a few more calls to "name" head coaching candidates before going into the quality coordinator pool. I get the feeling that Smart won't be a legitimate candidate there because I think their is some Saban-disciple fatigue in Knoxville after Dooley and Sunseri flopped.

Most quality head coaches will support a promotion or a move that is in the best interests of an assistant.

 

[BamaMoon]

Forgot all about Chavis. If he ask head coaching aspirations UT might not could do any better right now.

But I just wonder if he would rather be the career assistant.

FWIW, I've read that he is one quality individual.

I agree completely just wonder if he is interested in donning the captains hat

Auburn has interviewed Charlie Strong from Louisville.

Would be a quality hire if they can get him.

I'd hate that for Charlie

Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated tweeted he talked to Strong, who said he had not interviewed with Auburn.

No pun intended, but it would take a very "strong" HC to take over the *U job. In that "win at all costs" atmosphere, I don't think Charlie's the man to do it. Not that he couldn't, but because I doubt he would want to be part of that circus.

 

[Matt0424]

Here's a quick snipet from ESPN on the Strong thing... Not sure if I would even let my named be mentioned in the same sentence as Auburn right now, unless it was "Candidate X wouldn't even listen to Auburn's overtures..."

[Bamabww]

It wouldn't surprise at all for the barn to announce their head coach, whoever he is, just prior to the SEC CG to steal the attention / spotlight for a brief moment.

 

[rtcjny]

Strong is overrated. He only has a 60% winning percentage as a head coach.
