Lincoln Riley, might he emerge, or re-emerge, as candidate for the Syracuse job?

Rumor is he's not interested.
 
I wonder if he would be interested in ECU. I don't see the administration there taking out Ruffin McNeill unless they thought they could get a homerun hire... like a Riley or Babers.
 
Anyone have any idea exactly why McNeil was let go?

One of the NC HS coaches who posts on here thinks it was because Ruffin stood up to the AD about some asst. coaches they wanted fired.

Ah, I do recall that now. Was wondering if he might be a target if Babers does not get reeled in. I would think so, right?

I think this was posted on Twitter too by one of the national reporters
 
I'd imagine he will be the new ECU HC.
Maybe but it doesn't make much sense to me that he would turn down an interview with Syracuse only to pursue a HC job with a mid-major.
 
Pundits think Rich Rod is the best fit for SoCar. That makes sense hiring a current P5 coach versus a MAC coach cause fan base would go nuts with a MAC coach even if Babers is better choice. Hopefully SoCar makes a decision soon taking SoCar out of the mix. Have no idea What Rutgirls is doing. Babers is best fit for us imo.

That's not good for us. If RRod goes to USCe before Babers is locked up, I think he would be a favorite for the Arizona job as he has coached there in the past and the players in place are better than ours.

Yeah this is not a good look from the ECU AD

Need a new AD, one that can think on his feet. Easy answer to that one, "depends on how long they've been together, any other questions?"

Good point. If Arizona does have to find a new coach, we still have the advantage of starting our search weeks earlier. But we need to wrap this up ASAP.

I'm rooting hard for Muschamp to South Carolina.
 
If RRod leaves AZ for SC, I don't see that being a great move for him. Columbia, SC is an armpit and he'll have a harder time recruiting in SC than in AZ. SC had a good run with Spurrier, but there are considerably better choices for SEC top tier recruits than USC/Carolina, what their fans like to refer to them as.
