Assuming it comes open, it will be interesting to see who ends up at FSU.

Sumlin? :biggrin:

Let's hope it's not Jeremy Pruitt. I want him to stay. I like him--I liked Kirby too but Pruitt is better.

I hear Butch Jones is available.

What is going on behind the scenes at FSU? It seems like Jimbo has been trying to get out of there for some time. I suppose aTm is a bigger check and they have excellent facilities, but the pressure and competition in the west is significant.

Don’t see that happening. I think they go with a O-minded coach. Lane Kiffin might be a good fit there.

That is an interesting thought.

I'd take my chances hiring someone like Coach Grass from Jacksonville St before I'd hire Schiano..

I think the relationship between JF and the administration there has deteriorated quite a bit in recent years. Unkept promises on facility upgrades and more money for assistant coaches have been the biggest issues iirc...

jeez, $10milliion dollar buy out for Sumlin. Seriously, drive Uber. With $10million in the bank, who needs/wants stress of coaching?

 

[GrayTide]

So, Ole Miss, MSU, Arkansas, TAMU need new HCs. The four SEC West bottom feeders. Gonna be a hard sell except for TAMU. Yeah, I could see Kiffin to FSU if Jimbo heads to College Station. Looks like Florida and UT upgraded quite a bit. Next year should be very interesting.

I guess it is all about the ego for those high dollar coaches.

 

[colbysullivan]

Beating Bama once is apparently worth $10 million...

Un-freaking-real

He can't have been trying to leave for that long, can he? I'd assume if he wanted out he would have been LSUs coach last year.

Tennessee(state) political powers and the fan base have a very negative reaction to the Schiano news. Deal may not get done now..

Awesome! They will end up with their 5th choice.

I saw it coming they'd hate the hire. They don't realize they aren't a premier program anymore. It's not that desirable a job.

LOL...Who do they actually think they can get that is better than Schiano? Amazing!

Not really.

Ole Miss has cratered. MSU is about to lose Mullen and chances are will take a drastic step backwards. Arkansas is a dumpster fire. LSU is a crapshoot with Coach O. Auburn is a boom or bust program and will more likely be 7-5 next year than 11-1. Only Alabama has any sort of consistency.

I agree the pressure is ratcheted up, but the competition level ain’t what it was 4 or 5 years ago.

I do like the Mullen and Jimbo hires if they take place.

I agree with all of this -- but isn't in weird he'd turn down LSU last year only to take A&M this year?
