Any interest in discussing coaching moves?
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
It's genius because the University isn't on the hook for the equity interests.
Just guessing but CMC seems like the type that will suggest JP spread the wealth to his staff. However, if we do lose somebody assistants are going to be lining up to be a part of what's happening.
i think Heacock is the real assistant teams are going to go after. He has been shutting down offenses which traditional don't get shut down. Even OU fans are drooling at the thought of trying to lure him away.
Even though Ruffin McNeill will be the next DC for OU.
- Florida- Mullen
- Tennessee- P. Manning next coach
- Les Miles Michigan as I think Jimmy H is gone
- Neil Brown leaves Troy for Oxford
- Nebraska Frost, which opens UCF job no clue who goes there
- Oregon State takes McElwain off Florida's books
- aTm, if it fires Sumlin, takes SMU's Chad Morris
- Ku keeps their dude after Saturday's monumental moral victory over Bill Snyder
- TxT think KK is out, no clue who would want that job
- Arkansas has a huge buyout and will pass rather than pay
Question for Surly-
Is there still life to the rumor that Snyder wants his son to take over the reins?

Nebby just lost another 4-star recruit who decommitted. The bigger problem here is that this recruit was a central focal point for 3-4 other recruits, who now are "reviewing" their choice. Per 24/7, Nebby now #10 in the BIG for recruiting and falling fast with no one left in the local area. They can continue to try the California pipeline...yeah, that has worked well...
Bielema might be a good fit at Nebbie. However, it seems they may still be haunted by the Pelini drama. Being that Bielema's a similar style of coach, I don't know if they can stomach that right now.
I know Frost is the one they talk about but I don't think he wanted the job last time. I don't know if it's because he didn't think he was ready or if it was because he didn't want to deal with the expectations from that fan base, especially as a hometown hero.
Funny, cause a couple of people I have talked to would like to see him here. I question if they are really 'sker fans.
Here's my take on Leach going anywhere else, particularly Nebraska.
Leach is not going to instantly improve any team he goes to. He will need multiple years to recruit and get his system into place. He's not someone who can go to Nebraska and turn it around in a year, which is what they want. He's not a guy who instantly improves the recruiting of his schools. He wins more on scheme than talent.
Nebraska wants/needs a coach who can come in and instantly improve recruiting so he can turn things around in a year or two.
I think Les Miles would be perfect there, as he has that recruiting chache. He is a run oriented coach which fits Nebby's historical philosophy, and he's a very good coach period. He's just crazy enough that he won't care what local media are complaining about either. And he wouldn't have Saban ruining his seasons every year. In a few years, a Les Miles Nebraska could likely unseat Wisconsin in the B1G West.
It's not a rumor, it's Coach's wish. He's said it many times.
When John Currie left for Tennessee, his associate A.D., Laird Veatch, was expected to be named. It didn't happen. Veatch was best described as Currie-lite. Everyone knew - that had he stayed - Currie would not hire Sean after Bill left. So Veatch was passed-over and is at Florida today.
What the new A.D. will do is unknown. But my guess is that he'll follow Bill's lead and name Sean. Whether that's a good thing or not is to be determined.
Bielema would also be a nice fit at K-State. He was Snyder's d'coordinator for a time and has the Iowa tie.

Not to mention his son, Ben, already plays for Nebraska which would be a nice incentive. It's already been speculated that Moos, while he likes Riley, has a wandering eye for another head coach and the Chancellor/administration want somebody who can return the team to their glory days. As much as I hate Nebraska, Les Miles is the guy they need, IMO.
It's likely a recipe for mediocre football to return to KSU. Bill is one of the best game day coaches in college football. Anyone else is going to struggle in his position. KSU fans are going to be particularly upset if they are forced to accept his son as a replacement and he struggles.
This fan "Sean narrative" is well-played. But I'll say this for him, he's the best special teams coach in the game. My gosh, K-State ST's are always stellar and in all phases. That suggests he knows how to coach.
We'll see.
But your above comments are spot-on from a K-State fan perspective. I've seen very few who actually 'want' Sean to follow Bill. I guess Iowa has the same situation looming.

Without Bill Snyder that program wasn't close to mediocre.
Bill has been there so long, outside of a small stint, that I think anyone is going to struggle taking over for him. Sean will at least try to keep the culture the same, which is a plus. If he hires good assistants that will be a good sign for him.
