Will he have pizza parties? Those poor guys have been through a lot.
Wilner posted today that the UC BOR scheduled a meeting to discuss an audit of the athletics department. Who knows if that is standard or if there’s something going on that would make Wilcox decide it’s time to leave.
Tom Allen gotta be feeling something watching his former OC and DC take over Alabama
Brennan or Nansen
Does a school like Arizona have a choice right now?
Yeah don’t make a desperate hire to save a couple players. The players almost never know what’s best for a program. If that’s the case we would have not fired Embree, and hired Sanford and Cabral those years
Should be an incredible article.
Likely at the lowest possible pay scale
I get what you’re saying but keeping team continuity for a 10 win team has more weight than keeping the guys that won 1 game.
Arizona hires Brent Brennan: The long game, risk reduction and a chance for sustained success
Brennan, who took San Jose State to three bowl games in the past four years, is well prepared for the challenges in Tucson.

Sounds like AZ was looking for their version of Duhrell.
Brennan is an underwhelming hire tbh, though I realize the UofA isn’t in the best situation timewise or financially.
Has kind of the same feel as us hiring MM. Enough qualifications to sell to the fans but a low ceiling for a program with a low ceiling.
Just depends on how far down the hill the sh!t flows. You can always get a HC and staff from G5 or FCS. Like KU did with bringing in Lance Leipold so late in the post-2020 offseason. They got a great HC with a high quality staff. However, Buffalo's results have tanked and I don't see that program recovering soon.
In a lot of cases, the AD is just calling Jimmy Sexton to find out who's available at what price. Sexton (or someone like him) then uses the opening to get some clients who aren't interested or the right fit a raise/ extension before announcing a deal with the actual HC hire. CU doesn't play that game and burnt bridges when RG fired MacIntyre when he was being groomed for an SEC job.
Right. I guess that’s kind of the point I was making. Arizona *might* be able to salvage a halfway decent staff, but San Jose State is good and truly fooked. If Harbaugh heads to the NFL, the ripple effects will be similar to what happened with Saban, but the pool of coaches to backfill those positions will get more shallow.
I didn't want to start the 2024-25 Coaching Carousel thread so I'll plop this nugget here.
OSU just landed a new school President in the past few weeks. OSU landed their new AD today, Bjork (from TAMU not Iceland), the dude that extended Jumbo Fisher and then turned around and fired Jumbo for a $76mm guaranteed payday.
So following the dots...New school president, new AD, and the fans HATE the football HC. Looks like Mr. "Born on Third Base" is going to get thrown out next fall.

Buckeyes hire Bjork from Texas A&M to be AD
Ross Bjork has made the jump from Texas A&M to Ohio State to be the new athletic director for the Buckeyes, it was announced.
Rick George to A&M?

Oh theres no doubt Brennan in Tucson is good for us. He's a decent coach, but they're going to fall off under him.
Meh hire in my opinion.
Michigan what most likely promote Sherone Moore.
That's the sort of thinking that caused RG to panic hire KD. I have never been a buyer of that. The windows of guys looking for a good opportunity is open always, except for during the season. In fact, when Midnight-Mel left us, I felt like a lot of due diligence could have been done and we didn't need to hire Sark to be successful. When you can find a really good hire who sees your job as a step up, he can also bring his whole staff with him who know his system, and then try to pick off a couple recruiting up-and-comers for RB, TE, Special Teams etc.
They'd be crazy not to. I don't think a coordinator has been this qualified for a top P4 job since Kirby.
Nah. He’s content to retire in the next couple years
I don’t think you’re following what I’m saying. There might be available coaches, true. But the guys who would have been your first, second and third choices had you been looking in November are all spoken for by now.
At this point, guys like Bronco Mendenhall are back in the picture. Maybe that’s good for some teams. Less so for others.

I think we're probably about done with this silly season barring either Harbaugh to the NFL (which could mean Michigan promotes Sherrone Moore) or a scandal somewhere else. Nobody gives a **** about San Jose State.
