Coaching Openings

[goodguytex]

Chip Kelly would be a horrible fit at Texas.  He has zero personality, would struggle with the big time alumni and banquet circuit and is a cheater also.  I think he would be much better at a lower profile program that is not a traditional power like Texas with big time boosters.  Oregon has Phil Knight of course but not nearly as many power players and alumni base like a Texas does. 

Bobby Petrino would be as well for the same reasons. I am convinced texass is going to go after Tom Herman with everything they've got. Failing getting him, I wonder if Lester Miles may be in play there?? Nah... I doubt it. But a grass eating coaching running a team whose mascot is a grass eater would be a good match!!  😀

Miles to Baylor This rumor is picking up steam ...

On Baylorfans they are all convinced it is Chad Morris from SMU.

[hog.goblin]

I can see Morris to Baylor.  Strange to think that's an upgrade from SMU but because of conference affiliation it is.

[ChicoHog]

Morris makes a lot of sense.  Plays the same finesse style football as Briles and most of the Big 12.  At least Les would play some physical football and give the rest of the Texas schools something different.  Unfortunately I believe the majority of Texas HS teams play the same finesse football so it's an easy transition for the kids from HS to college.

Isn't the guy from orangebloods who has been wrong before?

Yep, usually wrong when it involves other schools, more so than the Whorns.

We need to get him here.

Agreed

ESPN reporting Herman to Texas and Orgeron named official HC at LSU.

[husker71]

something happened between LSU and Herman yesterday that was not good.  Rumblings on other boards suggest he upped his price late.  Anybody got any info on this??  I think LSU thought they had a done deal for a time yesterday

Texas might have told Herman's people that Strong was gone for sure and I think Texas was the job Herman really wanted.

Agreed.  Plus it probably got Herman more money at Texas. 

[husker71]

Herman is the coach at Texas   announcement soon    I would love to see the $$   difference between what LSU offered and Texas    He did not have quite as much leverage as he had yesterday IMHO

[husker71]

That Houston job is a pretty good job    any of you guys have info on their thoughts??

[BR]

Texas: Tom Herman will get a 5-year deal worth around $5 million per year "with escalators to over $6 million in final year of deal," according to Kirk Bohls of The Austin American-Statesman.
Houston: Defensive coordinator Todd Orlando will serve as the team's interim head coach, per Joseph Duarte

They should offer it to Charlie. Just swap coaches.

Dear Longhorns,

We hope that you and your family and friends had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying your time together this weekend.

As proud members of the Longhorn family, we want to let you know that today, we have named Tom Herman as the Longhorns' new head football coach, and he will be introduced at a press conference Sunday.

Coach Herman is the absolute right man to move our cherished program forward. He has demonstrated success at all of his coaching stops, most recently at the University of Houston, where he has led the Cougars to a 22-4 record during the past two seasons. Tom is a "Texas Ex" who served as a graduate assistant under Mack Brown and who earned a master's degree from UT.

Coach Herman will be a tremendous leader for our players, all of whom have shown heart and resiliency this season, even during challenging times. Elite student-athletes come to UT expecting to compete for conference and national championships and to earn a world-class education, and that is exactly what Coach Herman will help them achieve.

The decision to part ways with Charlie Strong after three seasons was a very difficult one. Coach Strong is an outstanding role model who worked hard and served with great integrity to move Longhorn football in the right direction. We share the pride, admiration and respect that many in Longhorn Nation and beyond feel for Coach Strong. Ultimately, however, the results over three seasons were not at the levels expected of Longhorn football.

Longhorn Nation is built on the strength and support of our students, alumni and fans. We thank you for your enthusiasm, and we know that you join us in welcoming Coach Herman back to the Longhorn family.

Hook 'em,

Gregory L. Fenves
President

Michael Perrin
Men's Athletics Director

FAU fired football coach Charlie Partridge on Sunday, one day after he completed his third consecutive 3-9 season.

They are dropping like flies today.

On a team he didn't build.  I'm not sure I agree with the firing.  If a coach can go 11 - 1 he can flat coach.  But maybe they feel he can't recruit or implement a defense.  He obviously didn't forget how to coach.  Or maybe they think that first team was already coached up.

[ChicoHog]

First team had many elite athletes including Mariotta and a couple studs on the Dline-Armstead and Buckner. 

I bet Mullen would take this job if it's offered.  He may be the one.  I've always been an Oregon hater but I like Mullen and I think he would do well.

Call me crazy, but I really think Mullen has found a home in Starkville.  He's loved down there, he's the best coach they've ever had, he's made them relevant (this season notwithstanding), and there's very little pressure outside of winning the Egg Bowl.  I'm sure there are jobs he would be attracted to, but I just don't see Oregon being one of them.

You may be right.  Miss st shoule do what it can to keep him.  I'm not sure if he is interested in moving on or not.  Oregon may go after Fleck even though he has no west coast ties at all.

Must be for off the field reasons.  They are headed in the right direction, on the field, for a program like Indiana.

Yep, supposedly like Illinois, or similar.

 Cannot believe they would fire Wilson. People like to say Bielema took over a dumpster fire. Wilson really did. Indiana is an extremely hard job. They have no recruiting base at all, and they compete in the 2nd best football conference.

Just heard on the radio he may have ignored some concussion protocols in a very cavalier manner.

Things would have to be worse than that to fire your coach though, right? On the surface, that's a reprimand and oversight situation. It must have been grossly negligent.

And they are in the Big Ten East which is the stronger division at the top by far with UM, OSU, MSU and Penn st. 

[ChicoHog]

Wasn't Wilson the OC at OU before taking the IU job?  Maybe Baylor would be interested in him.  He runs that wide open spread offense, no defense system that the Texas schools seem to like.
