Kiffin Coaching Rehab :hmmm:

Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss hire former Mississippi State coach Zach Arnett as analyst

by:
Nick Kosko




QuoteOle Miss hired former Mississippi State head coach Zach Arnett to the staff, according to OM Spirit's Zach Berry.

According to Berry, Arnett will serve as analyst on the Ole Miss staff. He was with Mississippi State since 2020 and coached at San Diego State prior to coming to the SEC.

Arnett took over as Bulldogs head coach after the passing of Mike Leach. He went 5-6 overall before the school elected to make a change.

Now, he'll work under Lane Kiffin and remain in the SEC.

This story will be updated

I've noticed that it's quite common for a guy that gets fired, to become an "analyst" for a former competitor. I guess they are content to coast on their buyout and make a little chump change on the side.

The Pittboss goes in-depth into his decision to hire Bobby Petrino as Arkansas OC

by:
Andrew Graham




Quote"Well I just wanted to win and to be honest with you, I thought Bobby gave us the best chance to win and that really the reason that I picked up the phone and called him. Then after I visited with him, his love to come back to Arkansas and his drive to come back and be a part of the university.

"I know a lot of folks may think, 'Well he came back to be a head coach' and all this kind of stuff. I don't worry about any of that. I just want to win," Pittman said. "I want to win for the university, for the state of Arkansas, I want to make the people proud and I thought this was the best way we could do it.

"But it's worked out extremely well. Bobby's a wonderful person and has been very, very loyal and been very, very good with our kids since he's been here," Pittman said.

Pittman dished on his staff shakeup, too...

Texas A&M is targeting Nebraska AD Trev Alberts as its next athletic director, sources confirm to @YahooSports as @BrentZwerneman reported earlier.

Deal is not done but is expected. Would be a big AD move within the industry.

I wondered how long it would be before Jimbo's contract backfired on him. Obviously, not very long.

Chip Kelly reveals why he decided to leave UCLA for Ohio State: 'I just want to coach football'

by: Steve Samra



QuoteDuring Saturday's broadcast of the Ohio State Buckeyes spring game, Joel Klatt finally caught up with freshly-minted offensive coordinator Chip Kelly:

"I just want to coach football," Kelly responded. "And I think in this day in age, things are changing. And I coached our quarterbacks in our bowl game. ... I haven't been in a meeting room on a consistent basis since 2008. When I was an assistant. And I have a lot of fun. The best part of football is football, and I love coaching football and getting to do that. I think sometimes the role has changed, to a little bit more of an administrator. Not at all places. But at some places where you've got to fundraise, you've got to do a lot of those things. And I just wanted to coach football.

"If I was going to go somewhere, it would be somewhere where the program shows the same values and visions that I have. I've known Ryan since he was a little kid, so you know when he called and he was talking about it a little bit, it was intriguing."

So what's Kelly looking for during Saturday's spring game?

@bmarcello

The best path as an assistant coach is to  start as a support staffer in a Power 4 conference. 73 of 106 support staffers promoted to on-field coaches this year  hail from the P4.

Full Coaching Carousel Audit:



QuoteThis year was the most tumultuous of the College Football Playoff (Error). One in three coaches in the sport changed jobs, a record 31 new head coaches were hired and 529 coaches across 134 FBS teams changed jobs during the 2023-24 cycle.

Nick Saban, the greatest coach of all time, is this year's poster child for The Great Change. The proliferation of name, image and likeness contracts and unlimited transfers for players had worn down the six-time national champion. Nine days after losing to Michigan in the College Football Playoff, Saban retired and ended his 17-year career.

The longest-tenured coaches in four conferences left their posts, including Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliott, who left the Sun Belt to become a position coach at South Carolina.

Four head coaches left their posts to become assistants. The strangest departure occurred in the Big Ten, where UCLA head coach Chip Kelly stepped away to become the offensive coordinator at Ohio State.

Weird? Wild? Not in 2024. This is the business of the ever-changing world of college football, where conference realignment has defied geographics and lawmakers have practically rendered the NCAA toothless in its pursuit of preserving amateurism.

Overall, 35.9% of 1,474 positions in the FBS changed via new hires or promotions — compared to 34.8% during the 2022-23 cycle. The 134 teams averaged 3.9 new coaches on their staffs,, a slight jump from 3.8 last year.

Hires/Promotions: 529
Head coaches: 31
Offensive coordinators: 60
Defensive coordinators: 60
Average hires per team: 3.9 per team
FCS to FBS: 70
High school to FBS: 2
Division II/III or NAIA to FBS: 3
Support staffer promotions: 106

MORE COLLEGE COACHES ARE LEAVING FOR THE NFL
The number of departures for the NFL rose for a second straight year with a record 34 college coaches now in the NFL following the 2023 season. That's a jump of 88.9% compared to two years ago. Twenty-three NFL coaches were hired in the FBS, a slight drop from the 24 a year ago.


The workload has always been heavy for college coaches as they recruit and coach players, and develop relationships with their players as educators, but the hustle-and-bustle has never been this frantic with the transfer portal and the constant need to re-recruit players on the roster. 

Evidence suggests more coaches than ever are trying to find new jobs outside the FBS.
