LSU/OU HC jobs...

I like him but Fickell and Matt Campbell have better resumes.

Freeman has been recruiting like a demon at ND this year. He was brought in as Kelly's heir apparent.

Despite an occasional slip against ATM, LSU has done fairly well against the SEC West, with Bama as the biggest stumbling block. What will be very interesting is how the SEC will be structured when Texas and Oklahoma join the conference in 2025. If they do go to 4-team pods, I could see LSU as having both Texas schools, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and both Mississippi schools as their conference schedule., with the Mississippi schools and Arkansas as their pod.

That wouldn't be too bad but Kelly better hope that realignment happens soon cuz they don't have a lot of patience down at LSU.

What is the website that has all the college football coaches chatter?

Footballscoop

 

[Briancuse]

Another good call

Thanks Dash. In my defense it's not often guys leave Oklahoma and Notre Dame for other college jobs.

Unless there's some sort of buyout beforehand (and it's hard to imagine there would be), Texas and Oklahoma don't join the SEC until the Fall Semester of the 2025-26 school year. If he shows steady improvement 2022-24 over what's there now, his seat might get a little warm but I don't think there'd be an active movement to fire him.

To quote the SEC's slogan - "it just means more" down there. Who'da thunk Florida could play Bama tough in the SEC title game, play in a NY6 bowl game and then be out on his ass less than a year later?

One of the poorest states in the country paying someone 15 million per year to coach football. Insane

He’s the interim so he’ll have a head start.

Priorities or something like that.

Brian Kelly To LSU

He's a flipper.

 

[Carlsberg]

I can see Oklahoma hiring Matt Rhule...Christian McCaffery is chronically hurt, and he has no QB with Cam being brought back in...He goes back to Oklahoma and college ranks for 10 years 95M.

OK going hard after Kingsbury. I don't see it but $$ talks.

I don't see it either and your right with the $. Kingsbury is too laid back for the recruiting game, IMO. he's doing a great job and has a great job at Arizona, has the QB he needs. Huge house in the desert. Scottsdale area. I read an article on him a year or so ago. Loves getting into the office early, getting a workout in, scheming new plays, tweaking the O etc but enjoys going home at night as opposed to dealing with boosters and recruiting all the time. Not saying he isn't working crazy hours but the point of the article was the NFL game suits his personality better. I would look for a nice contract extension soon. He also has a solid D coordinator that he lets do his job

Kingsbury is a perfect fit for the new brand of NFL coach.

Kelly's team meeting went 11 minutes this morning. He outlasted Lincoln's time. Good stuff.

Safe to say he won't be following Riley to USC.

 

[qdawgg]

Why does he have two houses in Oklahoma LOL

For get togethers with urban Meyer and friends

It took 9 minutes to lower him down in to the meeting from the boom.

Yea, but how much is the state actually paying Kelly. One would guess it's the boosters footing the bill, not the tax payers. If you're a rich donor, do what you will with the money, granted I wouldn't but who am I to say what to spend it on.

One’s a backup in case the first one gets leveled by a tornado.

He’s looking for a contract extension.

yep and will most likely get one as long as he finishes this season with a playoff birth, maybe sooner

 

[Whitey23]

He didn’t even need to coach a game! Well played.
