2024-25 CFB coaching carousel

Poor Bama.
@dixiehack You need to dig deeper. Maybe look under the cushions or car for extra change.

Ohio U promotes OC/interim head coach Brian Smith to head coach. I know we have some Bobcats here, so good luck to him!

Ell Oh Ell.

They better extract what they can from my gymnastics season tickets and occasional basketball game. (I either get a free ticket for football or a cheap one on the secondary market.) I won’t even pay their larcenous concession stand prices now. I’m sure as hell not spreading the bucks directly to the long snapper.

What this will do is wipe out the payments the athletic department used to give to the university itself (one of the very few places that could say that). I’m sure the legislature will be happy to make up the shortfall.

The appeal to the rank and file is interesting.

Meanwhile at Pitt, we have Board of Trustee members -- one who was on the 1976 National Championship team -- suing the damned school. Totally normal stuff.

I thought they'd go after Vigen from Montana State. Maybe they did.

He'd been a coach-in-waiting at SDSU for a while, no? Then leave after two years. FCS vs. FBS.

Wouldn't be surprised if the carousel takes another spin or two - I could see two or three college coaches get NFL jobs particularly when you see coaches being asked to give some of their salaries to NIL efforts.

Saw where the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma - a true Brent Venables disciple - bailed after one season in Norman to go to West Virginia.

His defense was OU's lone(?) bright spot this season, and rumors are he was offered a raise to $1.3 million to stay.

He previously was the DC for Rich Rod at Jacksonville State, so I get the appeal of reuniting with him again. But bailing on OU and the SEC to go to West Virginia and the Big 12 feels like a pretty big indicator of what kind of a hot seat Venables is on right now.

I would certainly want to make that move to the NFL if I had to deal with the new world disorder of the college game.

Thoughts and prayers.
I think this Trumpist moron has recently gotten a coordinator gig somewhere. At least he won’t get paid for his callous disregard for others and faux religion.

Offense assistant at Cal.

I’m sure they’ll be thrilled with his point of view in Berkeley.

Um, Rolovich grew up not far from Berkeley in Marin County, which is about 80 percent Democratic. He also went to college at City College of San Francisco. He is zany, and stuck by his convictions knowing he'd lose $3 million per season.

But this had the look of a loss from the get-go based on religious beliefs, considering then-AD Pat Chun had children in Catholic school and the pope also encouraged people to get vaccinated.

Correct. He claimed religious faith, but his religious tenets are Trumpist bull****. No reputable flavor of Christianity of any other widely practiced religion encouraged people to reject vaccinations. What Would Jesus Do? I doubt he'd say "I'm gonna resist the tyranny of the state and refuse a simple, safe procedure that protects my fellow humans." But Saint Nick of the Unvaccinated would have us believe that his is the righteous path and that his leadership is the model that players should follow.

What was interesting is about 4 or 5 of his assistants also refused to get vaccinated and lost their jobs. Jake Dickert didn't take the bait and was elevated to head coach until he bolted for Wake Forest last month.
Not sure how much Cal will pay Rolovich but it won't be $3 million per season.

Tom Allen's done pretty well for himself since high-tailing it out of Bloomington.
