Is it possible to die from embarrassment just watching something like this? Because I think I came really close.....
***2025-26 CFB Coaching Carousel***

With the Rhule news, I’d bet Joe Brady is the leader in the clubhouse for PSU.
LSUs biggest problem going forward is this: Woodward, when he is fired is going to file the biggest defamation case in school history. Landry will be bankrupt after his comments yesterday. What coach or AD wants to walk into that?
Outside of LSU I think a lot of AD’s have been fairly patient. Most aren’t looking for a massive jump in improvement but you have to show that you’re trending the right direction to being more competitive.
That could be from grabbing a ranked win, to increasing the overall win totals, better recruiting classes or just looking more competent as a team in general.
Franklins firing makes sense, Wisconsin getting rid of fickle makes sense. Florida is kinda borderline and LSU is legit stupid.
Kelly is getting pretty old. Sparty’s next hire will be someone with very strong ties to the program and will most likely be a big reach.
It's all a matter of opinion and which area of the country you want to live and work in. Looking over at past national championships the last two decades, you see the following.
Alabama 6 titles, Saban was the GOAT
Ohio State 3 titles two under Meyers and 1 for Day
LSU 2 titles One for Orgeron and one for Miles
Florida 2 titles, but the last being 2008
Clemson 2 titles 2016 and 2018
The rest won one title, Michigan, FSU, Auburn, Texas, Georgia.
Schools like Oregon, Penn State and ND have won nothing in the past couple of decades.
50 million dollar buyouts are being thrown around like candy. Is $15 million really a showstopper? I mean Rhule is not worth it but there is probably someone stupid enough to do it.
Isn't Kelly from Michigan? He could get them back to where they were with Dantonio or whatever his name was. Mel Tucker was a great hire.
. Just remembered. Kelly is from Boston or somewhere around there.The Athletic and CBS sports had articles yesterday wondering with all these premium jobs now open, would some programs be better off keeping their current coach for another year, and allow the dust to settle a little instead of jumping into the coaching carousel. They were talking manily about Auburn, and FSU, but Kentucky and a few others are in the same boat. To me the interesting one is Wisconsin, and whether they will can Fickle if he goes winless in the B10 or bring him back another year.
As coaching carousel floods, will other big schools -- like Auburn and Florida State -- pause on changes?
Florida and LSU figure to consider the same top-tier coaching candidates, according to industry sources. Will that deter schools like Auburn and Florida State from entering the market?www.cbssports.com
That logic sounds good, but IMO it's illogical.
A school like Wisky, Auburn or Kentucky is never going to get the sizzling hot next big name coach. Whether it's this year or 2026, that coach will go to a "top/top" program. To think programs like Florida, LSU and Penn State won't be looking for a head coach is 2026 is dreaming.
So if Wisky, Auburn and Kentucky believe their current coach is on life support, their AD needs to act now. Identify that next stud coach before that coach becomes sizzling hot. Plus hiring coaches is a gamble, a lot of the hot names bust (aka Fickell & Napier).
That part confused me too. Is Rhules buyout only $15m? Or did they add $15m to his current buyout?
Can you ever remember a year when 3 jobs like Florida, LSU and Penn State were all open at the same time? Plus you have a lot of good jobs also open like Oky State, and a few others.
If I was in charge of Auburn or Kentucky I might give a call to someone like Franklin to see if he was interested, but otherwise I would give the current guy another year and lower the buyout. Now Fickle is done no matter what, no way can they bring him back after a 2 or 3 win season.
Someone that wants to get paid $12-$15 million per year. Someone good will take the LSU job even with the crazy meddling from the governor, a powerless AD, etc. because the check will cash.
This article about LSU is interesting. The state turns out so many NFL players that if you do the math, LSU could more or less have the 2 deeps completely full of NFL players just from in-state kids.
The article also goes into detail about how compared to other states that produce a lot of talent, in Louisiana they all want to go to LSU. In contrast, kids in Texas/Florida/California all have a bunch of in-state schools after them and also a lot more history of blue bloods like Ohio State coming in and taking the kids they want.
Since the 2016 recruiting class, Louisiana has produced 68 NFL Draft picks, the fifth-highest total nationally behind Texas (192), Florida (163), Georgia (140) and California (118).

He had a lot of experience coaching at Michaign college before going to cinci to replace Dantonio.Isn't Kelly from Michigan? He could get them back to where they were with Dantonio or whatever his name was. Mel Tucker was a great hire.
The whole tucker thing was wild but damn that guy could recruit lol.
Next hire will be a sparty guy, getting back to dantonio level will be a long journey if it can happen but just being competitive in most games and grabbing a win off of Michigan every other year to every 3rd year will be enough for the alumni for awhile.
