2015 Football Coaching Carousel: Southern Miss HC to Tampa Bay

Pilchard said:
IMO, the looming sanctions would be a big-time incentive for Fedora's agent to put his name out there. Fedora's stock is never going to be higher, and while it may not be as severe as it should be, UNC football is going to take a hit from the NCAA. Could be a long while before Fedora has that program in the same spot again. Plus Fedora is not implicated in any of the violations under review.

And I just read somewhere that Fedora is only making around $1.73 mill which is not even half of what the pay is now in the SEC. He can springboard off of this great season and land some job there is Mullen moves to UGa or even better making the UNC folks madder would be to take the SC job if Herman goes to UGa. SC has reportedly offered Herman $4.5 mill so I am sure their offer would be in that ballpark for Fedora.

Given our desire to recruit the DMV, I wonder if there could be room for him on this staff? Culturally, he seems like a nice fit at MSD.

Let's hope not. Want to keep Elko and feels unlikely we can afford London in a non-coordinator capacity.

USC announces it is keeping Clay Helton as full-time coach

Perhaps, this will work out for USC, but the consensus opinion was that of all of the major openings, this was the most attractive. Clay Helton is not the sexy hire that most were expecting. Interesting how the market for coaches has changed in the last 48 hours with Miles staying at LSU and USC retaining Helton. Tough market right now.

wait, shit. this is the correct USC. I didn't actually know the interims' names at either school. I just assumed that was South Carolina. Figured the Trojans would hire a big name.

Is Miles staying after this season or just through the bowl game? The clip I saw from the LSU AD didn't sound like a definitive statement he will be back next year.

Fedora is still on his initial contract from when he was hired from a C-USA program in 2011. He was signed to a 7 year, $1.73M contract. Compare that to Sumlin's initial 5 year, $2.0M contract (of course Sumlin has gotten two raises since, due to both NFL and real USC interest). Point of all that is the salary gap isn't driven by any gap in ACC vs. SEC resources, as you imply, but rather a difference in leverage. If Fedora is receiving interest, he will get paid by UNC. He isn't going to make a lateral move to Scar.
 
No way UNC lets SC steal their coach. Don't even consider that.
 
Tom Herman agreed in principle to a new contract with Houston this morning. He could still make a move, but the signs are pointing to him staying at Houston and waiting for Texas to fire Charlie Strong.

Sounds like Richt is going to move into an administrative role with the program although I did hear this morning that UVA would like to talk with him.

UVA fans are clamoring for Richt. I'd argue both VT & UVA are better jobs than Miami at this time. Tech made a nice hire. Here at UVA, if you win 8-9 games a year, you are beloved, whereas you get fired at UGA for that kind of record. Miami has real issues. They have awful facilities, their students commute 45 minutes for a home game, the stands are empty, and their fans have huge expectations. I don't see how they can keep recruiting anywhere close to level with UF or FSU given their issues.

I'd also heard some rumors about Jimbo potentially having interest in LSU (pre-Miles staying) and UGA. WTF would anyone leave FSU for UGA? At FSU, you only have to compete with Clemson to win the conference, and you get to clean up in recruiting with all those instate recruits. At UGA, you have to compete with a handful of perennial top 10-20 teams, and GA isn't as good a HS football state as FL is.

Agree with all of that, but competing in the SEC East is not as daunting as competing in the SEC West. Missouri has won the East two of the last 3 years. UGA has an inherent edge over all of the programs in the East except for Florida; so, while the expectations are ridiculous, a solid coach at UGA should be able to get his team in the SECCG on a fairly regular basis.
 
Richt's personality fits UVa better than Miami. I also agree that he can probably sustain them at a level of of 8 or 9 wins per year which would be great for them. But I think you're underselling Miami's program. That recruiting pipeline isn't going to dry up anytime soon. If they get the right coach to take advantage of it, they'll be back to being a Top Ten team in a year or two.

Great location and great brand.

Last year's team had 7 draft picks (2 first rd), but 6 losses. Talent is not the problem.

Yeah, then UVA can have the most religious hoops and football coach in the country.;) Maybe I am underselling Miami a bit, but those issues aren't resolving themselves anytime soon. And I don't see them approaching the top 10 anytime soon unless they get lucky with a slam dunk hire.
 
No way he goes to UVA. Miami is his alma mater and a traditional powerhouse program.

UVA has that ugly ass mascot.
