2012 Coaching Carousel Catch All Thread

[DiamondDust]

For a year... After the BCS is done, the Big East has no guarantee of anything. Perhaps he got assurance of a move to another conference?

Even after 2014, it's going to be easier at Cincy.

Easier to win, perhaps... But being lumped in to the "Other five" now, as the Big East is in 2014, I think they are stuck behind the 8 ball.

South Florida has hired Willie Taggart from Western Kentucky.

He could've done a lot better.

 

[DocCrimson]

Even so, if he doesn't royally screw up at Cincy, he keeps his job. Tech has a lot of pressure to win in a difficult conference. And, if he simply keeps Cincy where they are right now, someone will become enamored with his resume and hire him for a ton of money to fix a formerly successful program in temporary disarray. It's a smart move in my opinion, for job security if nothing else.

Tennessee should have interviewed Taggart...

Tennessee should have interviewed Tuberville. This really is the silly season.

Yup..He would've been a great hire for the viles..But..It's fun watching them continue making not so good hires that will keep them in a state of mediocrity..

You would be fine with Tennessee hiring Taggart but don't like the Jones hiring? Doesn't make sense.

Better upside, and took WKU from nothing to a good team...

UTEP position is filled

 

[Matt0424]

Of the three jobs in major conference left (Colorado, Wisconsin, Texas Tech), which position do you (collectively) think is the most attractive?

 

[GrayTide]

Definitely not Colorado, of the remaining two probably Wisconsin.

From a quality of life stand point Colorado. Who would want to live in Wisconsin or especially Lubbock?

yeah but Wisky cares about football. Colorado has no money, crap facilities and very little fan/alumni support

anybody see that Coach Cheese is headed back to Auburn? http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/in...rlie_harbison_expec.html#incart_flyout_sports

Madison is actually a really nice town.

 

[TiderJack]

Madison is actually a really nice town.

I'm sure it is for 9 months out of the year. Those winters takes a lot of getting used to.

 

[Tide1986]

It is a nice place, but you're right about the weather. I've been there in early August on a few different occasions, and temperatures would drop into the 50's in the evenings, which is not fun for someone born and raised in the South. "Jacket" and "August" are words never intended to be used in the same sentence. Nevertheless, Madison is probably the best option of the 3 jobs noted.

 

[Crimson1967]

I'm sure it is for 9 months out of the year. Those winters takes a lot of getting used to.

I'd imagine winters in Boulder get a little chilly as well.

I was raised in Illinois (not my fault, honest!) and spent a lot of time in Wisconsin. I've also lived and worked in Texas, and my favorite of the two (by far) is Texas. To be fair though, my opinion is due mainly to the fact that I hate cold weather. Wisconsin is known for two things - cheese and cold weather. No thanks.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

I think the guy following Bielema to Wisconsin is in for a rude awakening - how do you top three straight trips to the Rose Bowl? (Don't even say that...)

I would think Colorado in the sense that the expectations now have to be incredibly low. What CU will have to do is what they did with Bill McCartney - give a guy enough time to first build the cupboard and then stock it.

Texas Tech? Let me tell you something - there's a problem all around Texas in regards to the thoughts that money will buy anything. Tech probably actually thinks they're relevant.
