To be honest, while I like Napier, none of these 3 really “scare” me.

I think all three would be an upgrade from what they had but agree with you probably good coaches but we have those all of the league.

Yeah.... they all are doing good job...but....
Napier is at a sun belt school...
And probably jump at top P5 offer....

Other 2 are in pretty good place...midto minor expectations...

None are "blockbuster. " hires....in ball park of AU n TNs hires...

Only the names have been changed

I'm reading through media reactions this morning and there's one thing I can't escape with LSU, now Florida, and Billy Napier. This story reads just like LSU, Texas, and Tom Herman.

I would hire Aranda.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

I would hire Aranda.

He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru...

 

[TerryP]

I would hire Aranda.

What if Aranda doesn't like you?

Seriously though. How often do we see "_____ coached there # years ago" and then, because of that, we see their name linked to a possible opening?

Think about a guy like Dan Enos. I'm pretty sure I know how fans would feel about him: waiters/waitresses would require pre-payment for meals in fear of him leaving before the course was finished.

I find it funny seeing several LSU fans cringing at the idea of O'Brien being a candidate but they were thrilled when Cam Cameron was coming on board as their offensive coordinator (following trying to point to the NFL as the definition of Saban's coaching ability.)

I vote we don’t bring Jason Garrett in! Not that I get a vote…

Sure you do...Garrett is out now

Franklin signing a 10 year extension at Penn State. Note that Franklin's buyout starts at $12 million until 4/1/22, then drops to $8 million until the end of 2022. $6 million in 2023, then $2 million in 2024/2025 and $1 million after. Very heavily front loaded buyout. The school owes him his whole base ($7 million per remaining year) if not fired for cause.

Penn State Football: James Franklin Inks 10-Year Deal

Penn State announced on Tuesday afternoon that head coach James Franklin has signed a 10-year deal that will keep him in State College until 2031 and pay

Jimmy Sexton has to be some sort of warlock. There’s no other explanation for some of these deals he pulls off.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Pat Narduzzi would be another person I would look at if I was searching for a coach.

 

[BamaFan334]

Nomad… I wonder what his end goal is.

A lot of folks are like this. I get tired of jobs every so often and just need a new scene. He can do good things, take programs to new heights they haven't seen in years, then he can bolt and do it all over again. He's like John Taffer and Bar Rescue, ha ha.

 

[crimson_cabil]

If you look at Kiffin's previous positions outside of USC, he never stays at one place more than three years. With so many high profile jobs currently open i can see him leaving Ole Miss. I would actually be shocked if he didn't leave especially if that Miami job becomes available.

 

[bamatommy]

He wants out of Happy Valley... problem is, he thinks he's worth much more than he is.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

FWIW, He wanted 10 years and $100 million guaranteed last year from Tennessee. Dumped his agent for Sexton not long after he was turned down. Not even Sexton could get $100 million out of a cubic zirconia. Amazing though that they fleeced them for 80.

Mel Tucker gets 10 years at $95 million., Most of us would do the job he is doing for at least 1/3rd of that.

 

[mando]

Both Tucker and Franklin struck while emotions were high and in my view are way over paid now especially for what they have accomplished. I do not blame them this is the administrations at each institution making emotional decisions just like the Barn has done for years. Bet there will be buyers remorse over these two situations in a few years if not sooner.

Watching what Penn State and Michigan State just did is like watching the first round of the NFL draft. Teams freak out and pick a 2nd round quarterback at 8 or 6. I sit back and say “don’t the decision makers watch football?”

Not the Franklin is a bad coach or Mel but they are not worth the money they just received. Then again, I suppose the AD and boosters think it’s better than letting them walk and starting over. It just goes to show how much money is in college football…..more than the GNP of many countries
