Official 2017 Coaching Carousel Thread - Zona hires Sumlin

Just breaking tonight...multiple sources reporting Tennessee offered their head coaching position to Joe Tumpkin but he turned them down. Reportedly yelling "hell no" to Phil Fulmer and then uncontrollably laughing at the idea. He was however able to use the threat of leaving in order to get Billy Bob to agree to stop knocking the soap out of his hand in the prison shower.
 
He wouldn’t feel anything, he is dead.
Ya think?

would
wo͝od,wəd,(ə)d/
verb
  1. 1.
    past of will1, in various senses.
    "he said he would be away for a couple of days"
  2. 2.
    (expressing the conditional mood) indicating the consequence of an imagined event or situation.
    "he would lose his job if he were identified"
 
You would think Oregon State would look at his bottom feeding offensive rankings in 4 of 5 years and think, maybe he's not a good coach.. But like other's have said in the thread about him leaving, it's probably not an OC job.

OSU's new HC was an OC. He probably feels confident that BL can fit in on his staff as a QB coach/passing game coordinator.
 
Maybe Stanford will hire Troy Walters as OC if Troy doesn't get the HC job at UCF. Lost their OC today. New HC at Rice.
 
Felt he was the only productive dude on Mac's first version of his staff. Maybe that wasn't a very high bar and that skewed my perception.
He was the recruiting coordinator who delivered those classes and, despite coming from aTm, couldn't get us anything in Texas.

I see Troy as a very smart, very mature, more cerebral & analytical type of coach. Kind of guy who is probably going to be better as a coordinator and head coach than he ever was as a position coach. As a position coach, it seemed he only reached guys who are technician types like Spruce (and those types loved him).
 
Troy could end up with Frost, was possibly just waiting to see if he got the UCF job or not, but now that Heupel got it, I would assume he heads to Lincoln.
 
Heupel was the Mizzou OC this recent season...that offense really put up points this season. If he could have been the new CU OC, that would have been great.

He came from NC State IIRC

I thought he'd a get a G5 opening.......just not that one. Seems like they settled a little bit given they were talking about Kevin Sumlin as recently as yesterday.
 
Reset, awaiting FSU....

Filled jobs:

fUCLA- They strike hard and fast, grabbing the brass ring and landing Chip Kelly. h/t Jens.
UF- Mullen is in, per ESPN.
Ole Miss- Matt Luke it is. h/t nik. 2 year bowl ban, loss of schollies
MSU- Joey Moorhead, OC at Penn. St. takes over in Starkville. h/t cmgoods
ASU- Herm Edwards. Strange hire. ASU installing an NFL model, run by a the future P12 champ in free association. The P12S cheers this hire. (h/t Jens)
aTm- Jimbo leaves FSU h/t Serenity Buff UPDATE: $7.5 MM a year. He damn well better win.
Oregon St.- Cal OC Beau Baldwin was tapped for the job. h/t nik UPDATE: Washington OC Jonathon Smith nabs the job.
NU- The nubs get their man, Frost it is. (h/t Jens)
UCF- Josh Heupel, fmr. Mizzou OC, with Randy Shannon as DC. (h/t AeroBuff and Jalapeno)


Open jobs:

Rice- David Bailiff let go. (h/t zapata), Stanford OC Mike Bloomgren may get the nod (h/t nik)
Arky- Bielema out. Malzahn sign extension with Auburn. Norvell? Morris? (h/t onealcd) Arky boards alive with sound of Kiffin.
Kent St.- Paul Haynes out. h/t mdelpizzo
Ga. Southern- Tyson Summers out. Tee Martin has shown interest ( I forget who posted this, so h/t to somebody)
UTEP- Kugler out, Mike Price in for a repeat.
South Alabama- Joey Jones out.
UL-Lafayette- Who knew?


Secondary Market:

FSU- Jimbo bolts to aTm, FSU has begun vetting Willie Taggart. h/t Jens. Deal may be near that includes JMFL. h/t onealcd


Possibles-

Oregon- Uncle Phil may have to open up the checkbook again if Taggart bolts. Leavitt?

In a category all their own:

Tennessee- After enduring Grudcon 1, Rocky Top suffers a case of Grudon dysfunction. Greg Schiano signs a MOU, Vols go absolutely ape**** with legislators, former players, talk show hosts and dog catchers protesting Schiano pedophile allegations. Schiano is told "no thanks" and Schiano's agent, in his best Ray Liotta voice from Goodfellas says "Screw you, pay me." Currie the AD, after having to **** backwards on the issue, is now searching, again. No way Gruden leaves his lofty perch to step in that collective pile of dog doo. Who would? A complete hot mess with a side of vitriol. Fun to watch, unless you are a Vol. Kiffin trolling them mercilessly. Food cart watching the city burn from afar.....UPDATE: Cutcliffe at Duke says no thanks. (h/t Ruckus). Now chasing Mike Gundy, who spurned them in 2012 (h/t Austin Cameron). UPDATE OF THE UPDATE: (h/t Serenity Buff) Mountains of cash being thrown at Gundy, and he is listening, btw, he's a man ya know. UPDATE, COMEDY VERSION: Gundy works UT like an old shoe, only to stay at Okie Lite. h/t cmgoods. No HC search has gone this badly in recent memory. Miles, Morris (h/t Tscheck) Brohm (h/t ahoelsken) are in play. One has to wonder how far down the list UT goes before MikMac is considered. They may truly end up with Dave Logan. No Brohm, despite earlier reports today, (h/r Tscheck, Austin Cameron), on to NCST's Doeren (h/t DuffMan). UPDATE: Doeren a no go. Sumlin reportedly not interested. AD Currie offered Leach, but had the carpet pulled from under him and was fired. Former HC Fulmer now the acting AD. Reports former AD Currie headed to Pullman to take on the WSU AD job. I can't keep up with this. It is an 11 out of 10 at this point. Fulmer rumored to be enamored with Les Miles. Stay tuned. UPDATE: the retread Fulmer (h/t Jens) now at AD looking hard at retread Les Miles. Other names: Chad Morris and Mike Norvell. UPDATE: Tennessee goes quiet for a while....



Other news:
TCU- Extended GPat trough 2024 h/t nik
TTU- KliffyK safe h/t onealcd
KU- Beaty confirmed to be back next year.
Mizzou- Barry Odom set for extension.
ISU- Campbell signs extension
Auburn- Malzahn signs extension which basically means he is in the clear until next October.
OSU- Gundy gets a $700K raise after jerking UT's chain. (h/t buffs 35)

Please forgive my attempts at humor, this stuff is highly amusing to me.
