How long before we hear rummors of bigger schools pursuing Clawson?

From the non-Power V schools: Willie Taggart at USF and PJ Fleck at W. Michigan are both hot names. Boise State coach Bryan Harsin has them cranked up again.

For the mega-jobs (LSU, Texas, USC), outside of Hermann they would probably try first for a Power V coach: Larry Fedora (if UNC wins 9+ games), Kyle Whittingham (Utah), Mike Gundy (he is not getting a long with OK State's primary donor), Pat Narduzzi (Pitt).

Let's not forget that the folks at Notre Dame might have the powers calling President Rev John Jenkins office if they finish off the season with a losing record. All made possible with the games remaining--2-4 record and they finish with a 50-50 game this week against Stanford, 10/30 vs Miami [L], Army in San Antonio Dome,
Virginia Tech [L], and @ USC [L]. The natives will be mighty restless and calling on AD Jack Swarbrick to do something at the Dome. The DC has already been fired and the OC is taking on water for the 5-wide spread offense being used in the monsoon in Raleigh.
 
Jim Grobe wins NC at Baylor, retires. Clawson takes over. WF fans experience collective aneurysm.
 
PJ Fleck was the star of the NIU teams we faced early in Grobe's tenure.
 
It just doesn't get any bigger than Wake Forest

I think there's pretty much zero chance a big-time program hires Briles this year. Way too much baggage. Kind of doubt Petrino would leave, but that hasn't stopped him before

Petrino has some sort of super buyout. He was toxic before Louisville hired him (again), and they got some very favorable terms from what I recall.

Eta: $10MM buyout. He isn't going anywhere.

This thread will look really funny when we lose to App next year in the season opener (at least I think it is?).
 
Should we worry about Elko taking off to a better job?
 
In a related note, Wake's coach Dave Cohen is on the rumor list for the U of Delaware job that became open this week. Cohen does have ties to Delaware as defensive coordinator for their 2003 title team.

Did we help get another coach fired?

Losing to Wake and his team not looking good while playing didn't help Brock's cause at DE. He hasn't had a winning record in four seasons. He also wasn't hired by the new UD athletic director. He was a forced choice by a previous university president who personally fired his predecessor (who had three national title games and one national title) at UD.

That president is gone. His AD is gone. So new administration from top to bottom. New BB coach, now new FB coach coming soon.

ND is a national brand for sure - I wonder how many years they need to stumble for NBC to not want the contract anymore, at least at the price they're currently paying. Will ND football one day soon collapse completely into the ACC?
 
Does ND really want to be in the ACC if their independent gig falls through or was it just the best available "open port" for their other programs? In other words, if they had to join a conference in football, would they actually prefer the B1G?

I don't see how they do just football in the Big 10 or move everything there at this point.
