2016-2017 Coaching Carousel

Read that Schiano interviewed with Oregon. Anyone else besides him, Harsin, and Taggart?

Matt Rhule from Temple getting the Baylor job.

Can't be...wait a minute...with Strong gone, the We-Refuse-to-Tackle Conference now has refilled its quota for defensive-minded head coaches.

Rhule is a comer, I thought as this season started that he was months away from coming into the Penn State job and back to his alma mater when they ran off Hot Assistants' Wives Hirer Franklin. Fate's intervened for now to buy Franklin another five years (the haplessness of B1G's two newest members Rut and Md. in helping him survive cannot be underestimated).

Anyhow, hope Rhule, who actually has more offensive position coaching gigs in his past than defense, fares better at a Power Five school (even Baylor) than his Temple predecessor Steve Adazzio who I would've bet on (WRONG!) for having Boston College competitive by now.

No one, anywhere (except you, heh) is talking about this. It's amazing what the Big 10 managed to put over on everyone. They made an expansion that added two dumpster fires in terms of football, those teams unsurprisingly go 3-15 in conference, as unsurprising the teams at the top of that division have great records (two free conference wins will do that for you). This was the expansion! This was not some long term Big 10 schools that just happened to suck, they went out and picked these guys up and placed them together with their top programs.

They want to talk about the number of conference games and we're all supposed to pretend they didn't give every team in that division 2 free wins every year? To give a comparison the two worst teams in the SEC West are an average all time rank of 33.5. The average of Rutgers and Marlyland? 68... they might not belong in a power 5 conference at all. They're below teams like Duke, Tulane, and Kansas. And that folks is how you fool everyone, add two cupcakes as permanent parts of your schedule.

I agree and was making this case in response to everyone claiming the B1G is the best conference... Strong at the top? Yes. But very weak at the bottom, with Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, and Illinois padding everyone's records.

It was smart by the B1G -- expand the geographic footprint and media markets without adding anyone who would ever be a threat to the top dogs.
 
Yeah, him picking Baylor over Oregon is odd. But really, when you look at it on the whole, isn't Baylor and Oregon on about the same level anyway?

Oregon Ducks interviewed 5-6 candidates in Texas, per UO source. More today in NY with guidance of search firm, per second source.

Don't know a lot about him, but he has a done a very good job at Temple which says something. IMO Baylor will slip back to the middle of the pack in the B12 with an occasional big season as will TCU. Overall, a good hire.
 
I think it's the recruiting and competition. He probably thinks he can build a smashmouth bully that the rest of the basketball on grass Big XII won't want to play, and he can do it with Texas talent.

Oregon isn't nearly as good of a job as some think. There's no in-state talent, the gimmicky uniforms aren't unique anymore, and you're fighting Stanford and Washington for the foreseeable future. They feel like a gimmick that is past it's prime.
