Figured we'd try to corral all of the coaching move chat here. Monday after thanksgiving and we're already off to a blazing start.

Petersen resigns
Leach in the mix possibly at Arky and Ole Miss?
Seth Littrell blows out his coordinators
Graham Harrell interested in Texas OC
Will Jelly stay at UCLA? Staff changes?

Wild ride coming....

Kwiatkowski was a co-DC with Lake at UW. He probably becomes the sole DC.

won't have to worry about getting good seats at the Masoleum next year. I don't think the two newbies making the decision have any clue how unhappy SC rooters actually are at this juncture. But they will find out.

Which is interesting because Helton hasn't been bad (42-21 overall and 31-12 in conference) just not as excellent as SC honks think they should be but haven't been since Pete Carol cheated

Busy guy.

Joey Freshwater to Ole Miss! Giggle time sure to ensue...

So I believe the correct path from here going forward looks something like: Freshwater lands in Oxford. Causes excitement and apprehension in equal amounts. Pulls off some big victories including a huge win vs. Saban in year 2 of his tenure. But is unable to get Ole Miss above 7 regular season wins. Eventually flames out in epic and truly Freshwater fashion after his cell phone is bugged and leaks show he was consorting with a super hot blonde exchange student from Lebanon who Joey claims is actually an ISIS plant sent to sabotage him. It turns out she was actually sending the Ole Miss playbook to Mississippi State. I mean its gotta be something on that level of ridiculousness, right?

Fired from Ole Miss, Freshwater then lands at .... Fresno State, which endured 3 years of losing seasons after Tedfords departure and is desperate. Says Joey upon his arrival, "It's soooo good to be back at my alma mater. I am going to recruit the hell out of this state!' Two weeks later he is tagged for minor recruiting violations by the NCAA....

Shaw on the move?

It's caused massive job insecurity at a given university, but coaches (especially young ones) will tell you they LOVE the arms race and coaching carousel. The ladder to the top has gotten shorter in both time and steps -- the upward mobility is tremendous compared to 30 years ago. The only drawback is you may have to move a lot to do it.

Ryan Day was Chip Kelly's QB coach with the Niners like 4 years ago now he's got one of the top HC jobs in NCAA lmao.

And the massive carousel leading to high vacancies that just trickles down (and up) creates this perception that coaches are "building up" or "getting promoted".

Graham Harrel spends one year at USC after 3 years as coordinator at N Texas and he's now HC ready. Just the perception of him being at USC one year is all it took

with what 4 players from the Furd in the portal now the getting out might be the smart thing to do as it appears that the whole Furd myth is rapidly becoming a myth. Go East snarky man, go east!!

I remember him from his days at ASU as OC. During the Pac-12 network documentary series in 2013, I remember liking him.

"Welcome to FSU Mike Norvell. We'll fire you after 16 games if you don't win!"

Mcallan Castles is transferring to UC Davis?? I wonder who his adviser(s) is?

Ole Miss - Joey Freshwater
Arkansas - Sam Pittman (Georgia Oline Coach)
Rutgers - Greg Schiano
Florida State - Mike Norvell (Memphis HC)
Missouri - Eli Drinkwitz (App State)

It's the OC's and DC's along with the position coaches I'm concerned about (poaching from Cal, or in the former please DO!!).

$c opens against Alabama in Texas next September.
Warm up the interim.

Plus the exiting last year amongst allegations since hushed up of the S&C staff that came in under Harbaugh, with a noticeable drop off in Stanford player size, strength and durability.

That slipped through my radar. Tell me more. Are you telling me it was more than a glove???

He's not a pro coach and not even a great college coach.

He's like 50 games over .500 over a 9 year stint. His worst record before this season is 8-5. Seems pretty damn good to me.

Stanford recruits the kids that want to go to a place like that from private high schools with or without Shaw

---

Not sure what the private HS reference has to do with anything. That aside, Furd does have a nice advantage with certain positions seemingly having plenty of kids that profile nicely for their academic demographic.

mike leach is one of the great characters in college football great coach. wazoo is lucky to have him.
