🏈 🔥 Hot Seat 2025 / Coaching Carousel:

[Krimson]

In the previous era, I would have said that. But now I think their ceiling is higher. No pro sports or other in-state college rivals. Get the Walton family involved!

Could always let Jerry Jones pick the coach, see how that works out

It sounds like there's still a split with who they want, but one of the top choices just got elimitend and another in Golesh is proving to be too tough a pull. Wommack though would likely have to agree to some staff concessions as of now... but the longer it drags out, the more leverage he will have. Hogs are just in a tough spot. Gonna be very hard to consistently win there and coaches know it.

I got a note from my friend in Fayetteville; the CFBP / Bowl ticket broker I've mentioned over the last 20 or so years. He tells me there's a guy that's not in the news they've been talking to "behind the scenes." I'll try to see if I can catch up with him this weekend. There's no damn way I'm asking about a coaching search the day before tomorrow. His wife would fly to your house and slap you for my asking.

(On another note: He asked if I'd seen their upcoming basketball schedule. They have some TOUGH ball games coming up.)

Hell of hire by Arkansas.

Hell of hire by Arkansas.

We've never seen a coach leave USF, enter a power conference, and win. All of them were mediocre head coaches, at best.

About the best they were gonna do, IMO. It sounded like that ship had probably sailed and that Golesh was going to wait on another job, but Arky didn't give up on him. By Arkansas standards, I do think he will do well there... they need someone like him. They ain't gonna be a playoff contender with him, but they'll be closer to their ceiling is he works out.

If I had to guess, it was PJ Fleck. He was interested, they were interested.

It may turn out to be a disaster, but I think he's a pretty good football coach, cheesy offensive scheme aside. But that cheesy scheme will lay well there. Would assume he takes Byrum Brown with him (if he has another season?).

Golesh to Arky looks like a good hire and will possibly have them at 7-8 wins consistently with a 9 win season squeezed in somewhere.

Not sure if they could've done much better.

I see the success somewhere between Charlie Strong and Jim Leavitt.

I understand Pat Smith is saying he's hearing AU is leaning more and more towards Durkin.

How is that possible? Would you need 30 days to close on the house?

My wife is a Realtor. She’s had cash deals close in a matter of a few days

Let me try again, Does the university usually provide housing for the HC?

Not that I'm aware. Saban had a unique situation. DeBoer purchased on his own.
