Running 2015 College Football Coaching Carousel Thread

Wait til he finds out how cold it gets in Blacksburg.

 

If Foster was really bitter about not getting promoted, he could have left. That he didn't is telling. And I hope the earlier reports are true about Shane Beamer staying. Not necessarily for the coaching, but for the recruiting.

And, Chef, apparently Fuente said he had a dozen inquiries.

 

It's also easier to win the ACC at VT than it is to win the SEC at Mizzou or South Carolina.

 

In normal circumstances, Mizzou is probably at best the fourth-best job in the SEC East.

Virginia Tech, in terms of resources, is the best job in the ACC Coastal.

 

Va. Tech is a good job. Either as a stepping stone to the elites or to (re)build Va. Tech into a national power via the ACC.
Fuente's nightlife may suffer ; Blacksburg is no Memphis, but he's got a great launch pad for football program.
Miami - you could argue might be better job than Va. Tech, maybe. But not SC, Mizzou, Maryland, UK, even Georgia, and whatever other shitbird schools have vacancies. Fuente was smart to grab Va. Tech.

 

Clay Helton is no longer the interim coach at USC.

Wow. I wonder if they reached out to Chip Kelly before making that decision.

 

Friday in Philly, apparently.

 

Chipper's feeling good about his one-game-out-of-first Eagles, I guess.

 

Del Rio also told USC to piss off, according to reports.

 

Considering the options, I can't believe they stuck with Helton. But I will withhold judgement. I certainly don't know the depth of his management skills and the circumstances around the decision.

 

Frank Reich would be a good get for Maryland.

Odds Kelly gets to the finish the job in Philly? He's reportedly interested in giving Fatty Magoo and the Aluminum Monster spots on the practice squad.
