Let's see how happy they are after the new hire.

[HF#1]

I think it's a solid hire for Kansas.  An out of the box type hire. 

[Boardon Hamsay]

GUS to Wolverines!

Funny, I just heard Mike Gundy might be nearing a deal to be Michigan's guy. We'll see. I think he would do well there. Kinda makes me wonder if Gundy would be ready to get out from under Stoops' shadow in the state.

Rumblings around this area involve the disbelief of how Gundy is conducting himself, especially with the media as a representative of Okla State. He has an ongoing issue with his AD Mike Holder and there is speculation that he is doing everything that he can (outside of coaching football) to irritate his superiors to the point that he is fired, which of course negates his buy-out. But I think Mike Holder would exit Okla State before Gundy does.

A purposeful tactic? Not sure.

Boone Pickens issues with Gundy have involved his record against OU, but Gundy put that to bed for the time being last night.

But Gundy to Michigan? That would be a difficult fit in my opinion. I could have seen him going to Nebraska or maybe even Florida, but both of those ships have sailed.

There are a lot of nice places to go camping in Oregon so they should be happy.

I think Gundy is a good coach with a Napoleon complex or little man's syndrome. Is that your take as well?

[root_hawg]

Agreed

[MuskogeeHogFan]

He is certainly full of self confidence.

You just described 90% of FBS head coaches.  Lots of Type A personalities.

I was surprised by OSU's drop off this year, but he has built a pretty solid program in Stillwater.  I'm not sure that he is a good fit at Michigan.

You just wonder where Michigan would be right now if they had kept RichRod.

Not really. Napoleon was just a short Type A.

[Inhogswetrust]

Not really. Napoleon was just a short Type A.

It wasn't his height that made him have Type A personality. His complex may have derived from his height. You can STILL be Type A without the complex.

[jesterzzn]

The complex is purely colloquial.

There is a story behind the Gundy thingy but it might just be false gossip so I will keep my mouth shut for now.

Wisconsin is losing coaches to Oregon State now?

[hog.goblin]

59 - 0 didn't help

[goodguytex]

Ole Barry just needs to go ahead and make himself HC/AD for life at that place. Especially if he can't keep a HC.

[Dropkick]

I think Justin Fuente may get a chance at a better job as these dominoes fall. Would Houston be a step up from Memphis or is that lateral?

[Doug]

Tulsa and Houston would be lateral, at best.

Colorado State is ALMOST lateral, but a slight step up.

[The_Iceman]

With what he is doing at Memphis, I think he could take a little bigger step than that.

[goodguytex]

Maybe get a chance as HC at Wisconsin?

[hogwild210]

Why not? Everyone else is!

[Deep Shoat]

Houston is a step up for one reason.  Texas talent, and tons of it.

A good recruiter could turn Houston into a dangerous team again, like they were in the '80s.

Report is Tulsa making a run a Auburn OC

[Torqued pork]

According to tigerdroppings.com a Michigan reporter is saying the Wolverines have contacted Les Miles' agent. The report is being denied.

[Tim Harris]

Report is Tulsa making a run a Auburn OC

Baylor OC will be the coach at Tulsa

[The_Iceman]

Report is Tulsa making a run a Auburn OC

I bet Houston will go after him too.

[Oklahawg]

Baylor OC will be the coach at Tulsa

Yes. In fact, he may have been offered already and is deciding whether to take it. We should know later tonight.

[Oklahawg]

channel 6 in Tulsa finished it's 5pm newcast by announcing Phillip Montgomery (Baylor OC) is the new TU HC.

CBS Sports is reporting that it is most likely Paul Chyrst to Wisconsin.

Yup.. ESPN is reporting Chryst to Wisconsin as well

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/12018668/wisconsin-badgers-hire-pittsburgh-head-coach-paul-chryst

[Dropkick]

Schiano to Pitt?

[The_Iceman]

Schiano to Pitt?

That might end up being where he lands. He just seems like a good fit in the Big 12.

[dh027]

Poor Hootie. Of the two jobs where his name came up, UNLV ends up hiring a high school coach instead of him and Tulsa picks Baylor's OC. 

[grayhawg]

Hootie's reputation is more toxic than some realized.

UNLV hasn't forgotten how he stunk it up in the bowl game there...............

[goodguytex]

Can someone please explain to me how hiring a HS coach as the HC of a major college program makes any sense? I don't get it.

[Oklahawg]

Can someone please explain to me how hiring a HS coach as the HC of a major college program makes any sense? I don't get it.

Three reasons I can think of:
1. low investment risk. You can low-ball the salary and right in all sorts of clauses (ie, buyout) that protect you if it works, but gives you easy wiggle room if it is a bust move.
2. recruiting contacts with area coaches
3. HS coach is hungry to prove they belong

One Michigan board has working out final deal with Harbaug . Not sure on spelling.

[root_hawg]

I can't see Harbaugh heading to Michigan; too many NFL teams will be looking for head coaches

[The_Iceman]

I can't see Harbaugh heading to Michigan; too many NFL teams will be looking for head coaches

He'd really have to want to go back into College Coaching. Teams like the Raiders, Dolphins, etc. are all going to go after him.

[Torqued pork]

If Harbaugh goes to Michigan it will be for the same reason Saban and Spurrier went back to college - control.

[husker71]

add the Bears to that list.

[Hogwild]

Phillip Marshall (auburn writer) is saying they are in talks with Shannon for their LB coach position.
