Coaching carousel 2025-26

I'm starting to think PSU may just decide to make interim coach Terry Smith the permanent HC. The early candidates all signed contract extensions with their current teams so there's not many candidates left. When Harbaugh left Michigan they didn't go out and get a big name coach to replace him but instead gave the job to Sherrone Moore who was already on staff, so PSU may end up doing the same and make Smith permanent.

IIRC, when Urban Meyer retired tOSU promoted Ryan Day from OC to HC. That hasn't worked out too bad.

Every system out there needs a competent quarterback. The running game sucks right now, for a variety of reasons. He’s only leaning on Ty so much out of necessity.

The system leaned on the QB every stop in the same way. There's a difference between needing a good QB and asking your QB to do too much. This system tends to rely on the QB for two thirds of the plays on offense, that's a lot to put on anyone's shoulders.

I do hope he kind of re-invents his system to be more balanced and rely less on the QB, but it's been this every year he's been a head coach. Even when they had a good running back putting up good stats, he was still just a change of pace. The next year his system doesn't rely as heavily on the QB will be the first. Justice Haynes demonstrated he wasn't the problem, by being one of the leading rushers in the nation until he got hurt, and he was still not used very often at Alabama.

To me that gets into what I think needs to be the evolution of DeBoer. I think he needs to adapt his system more to fit these style SEC athletes and furthermore, be on the lookout for excellent coaches to help break some of this offenses bad habits. There's a lot of fluctuation going on with coaches, hopefully some of that works to Alabama's advantage. He's had a chance to kind of solidify what he wants to do, now can he improve on it?

I could see making him interim just to get through the postseason but to make him the man without any sort of search is just insane.

Signing Day is right around the corner. Hanging on to recruits will be hard enough as is, but getting a recruit to sign when the school doesn't have a HC in place? It would not end well.

Going with Golding was certainly a choice, though.

Justice Haynes didn’t get on the field because he just couldn’t cut it here. He rode the line behind inferior running back talent under both Saban and DeBoer. DeBoer made it a point to keep Haynes, but like Richard Young he never produced when it mattered.

Also consider Haynes is going against a very mediocre B1G.

It's a job he could have gotten in the off-season. As I said earlier LSU would have waited.He was their #1, 2, and 3 choice.

My issue wasn't him taking the LSU job, though I could argue Ole Miss is a better job than LSU right now, my issue will always be the timing.

Kiffin and LSU are wrong.

Ole Miss is only a better job “right now” because of Kiffin.

And as I’ve said maybe LSU would have waited…but it sure seemed like it really wasn’t Kiffin forcing the issue as much as it was timelines and ultimatums being given to him.

That’s where I fail to to see what he did that is so unforgivable this time, and just makes him a horrible human being.

Lane, is that you?

1st- LSU is only good because Nick Saban set the expectations that they should be good. Before that they were a second to third tier program.
2nd:

NFL Today gets it!

I had lunch with Paul Dietzel when he came to Samford as AD...he was a total egotistical jerk. That's pretty strong language coming from me.

I used to draw Chuck Yeager’s blood. We had a saying.

“The difference in God and Chuck Yeager is that God will not tell you he is Chuck Yeager.”
