2014 College Football Coaching Changes

As much as I hate FLA, a sub.500 year isnt acceptable EVER.

I agree sir, maybe they don't want to fire him prior to the Florida State game?

we'll see I guess

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

How long was Dan Mullen's contract?

I don't remember

but the heat's on him

Mississippi State fans want Mark Hudspeth from Louisiana-Lafayette

Dan Mullen just bought himself another year State is going bowling with a win over Ole Miss. No State coach has ever gotten fired winning the egg bowl.

Most likely yes, sir

Bo Pelini meanwhile may be costing himself a year

a loss here put him under some major heat

 

[Smart]

One of the biggest reasons to keep Pelini around was the fact that it looked like USC, Michigan, Texas, and Florida would all have openings, so Nebraska would only be the 5th best available job.

All of a sudden, it looks like Nebraska could be the best job available. Why delay the inevitable with Pelini when next year you likely won't be able to get you first choice?

This is true sir

I still think Texas and USC will be available though

Pelini could probably survive for at least one more year if it weren't for his shenanigans.

Pelini and staff's buyout I heard was close to 25 million.....don't know how true that is, but if it is, he isn't going anywhere.

Pelini is only $7.8 Mil. left on his contract.

His staff would only be paid as long as they are unemployed. If they get a new job, Nebraska would make up the difference if it pays less. So no where near the $17 million extra you got there.

Nebraska has over $120 million surplus (known) in the AD budget right now. They probably won't have to use any of it, as BMD's could come up with the $7.8 mil if the decision is made by Eichorst, Perlman, and the BoR.

End the Nebraska debate.

Statement from University of Nebraska Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst on Coach Bo Pelini
Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013

"My approach has always been to not comment publicly about our coaches until their full seasons are complete, as I strongly believe it is unfair and counter to best practices. However, given the volume of unfounded speculation and conjecture about our head football coach, I want to reaffirm what I have said many times since I have arrived at the University of Nebraska -- that I positively respect, appreciate and support our football student-athletes, coaches and staff, as we do everyone in the Husker family. We very much look forward to our upcoming bowl game and Coach Pelini continuing to lead our program in the future."

so far yes

I'm interested to see how many ADs turn back on their word once the season is over

 

[Cobrabit]

Especially when what they say can be very ambiguous. Case in point with the pelini statement of him leading the program in the future. Well the future could just be the bowl game and then he's out. Or it could mean next season or the year afterwards. These statements are typically worded to still give an out without losing too much credibility.

I personally see Pellini getting at least next year due to the number of open positions this year and Nebraska wanting a top coach, not someone that was passed over by other schools such as USC.

 

[charlie42s]

Rumor mill says that Mack Brown retires after the Baylor game, lose or win.

 

[bocomo007]

Stiney isn't the OC anymore.

Uconn is courting Bud Foster though....

probably time for Bud to finally move on

Indeed sir, to further your point I think that perhaps he did this to give him flexibility based on what USC, Texas etc end up doing, if those bigger jobs are open he can keep Pelini another year, if not he can fire him and get his guy.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

probably time for Bud to finally move on

I'd like to see him get a head coaching job finally.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Holgerson was on the hot seat already, he's in a lot of trouble after West Virginia blew a big 4th quarter lead to lose to Iowa State

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Wyoming's coach is meeting with his AD

doesn't sound good

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Dave Christensen to resign at Wyoming

 

[whyoh]

christensen basically wasted the best talent we've had in a long time and elected to take a shit in the middle of the field instead


i believe that all the good brett smith did this year was in spite of christensen.....not because of him

 

[Camfantasy]

probably time for Bud to finally move on
