GB would be a very good option for KU. The guy can flat out coach, and knows how to turn around a perennial doormat. Hope he gets a look from them.

Agreed. I believe he has learned from his mistakes at CU - primarily stopping the recruiting of anyone who remotely appears to be a prima donna and stopping the foot in mouth disease he seemed to get better at overtime at CU.

Fat Charley didn't put a female kicker on the roster, so he's clear of one mine field. But is Barnett big boned enough to be a prototypical KU HC?

Ruffin McNeill has all the attributes of an exciting candidate for KU except he slimmed down recently so he's not going to get an interview.
GB has been out of coaching for 9 years. That's a long time. A lot of his recruiting connections will be gone. Nobody is going to recognize his name outside of a few folks with long memories. I always felt that if he really wanted to get back into coaching, he should have gone the Mike Price or Bob Davie route and taken a job at a mid major in need of a turnaround.
It will be interesting to see Michigan vs. Penn State this weekend. There is a planned "boycott" of the opening kickoff by the UM students - basically they want an empty student section to demonstrate their frustration, then they'll enter the gates after kickoff. Does this remind anyone of the powder blue-out? Tough to fathom that we are 2-4 yet much better off than Michigan is right now.

I think the only person who is interested in Barnett getting the KU job is Barnett himself. Apparently he has been publicly promoting himself for the position on a satellite radio program.

Yes, but he would get a big pay raise by going to Kansas. They're pretty desperate.

And he'd be fired within 2 years.
There will be much greater opportunities than Kansas for Ruffin McNeil.
Beat me to it. The ECU job is on par with if not better than the KU job.
What you say about McNeill is true. If he keeps having success at ECU somebody bigger is going to come calling.
It may be that he interviews with Kansas as a way of reminding people that he is a "hot" candidate to move up then if offered the job turns it down and waits for a better offer using KU as a stepping stone to that better offer. Wouldn't be that different than what Butch Jones did with us before jumping on the Tennessee job.
By the way now some rumors that Jones is trying to get himself into the mix for Michigan when Hoke is fired.

Buffalo opening midseason is strange so I wonder if that means he lost the locker room. I can't imagine it's to get a head start on competing with Michigan for candidates. The MAC is not having a good year and the bottom half of teams are downright terrible. Turner Gill back to Buffalo? I'm sure they would embrace him with open arms for the slight relevance he brought to them.

If Gill has any patience, Liberty will be a better job than Buffalo in just a few short years. Liberty wants to join FBS (Sun Belt, probably). Liberty is experiencing ridiculously explosive growth and has plenty of cash. Type of program that could walk into a non p5 FBS conference and be a winner right from the start. Beats a decaying Buffalo program.

I am pretty sure that Muschamp is done at Florida. Which means that both Michigan and Florida will be out looking a "proven" big time coach. This will probably start a domino effect.
Perfect timing if CU is looking for a new DLine coach and Def Coordinator after this season - let's get them both.

The word in DFW yesterday was that SMU has offered Mac Brown 4mill per with an 8yr contract. Mac is 63 this seems like desperate measures for the Ponies, but the hopes are the Big XII actually expands to 12 and they have a favorite son in Mac.
Dumb move IMO.

I think it is a good move. SMU would instantly get a massive bump in recruiting and would get back to regular participation in bowl games. Whether it translates to a Big 12 invite is a completely different story. Nothing in it for TCU, F***Bailer, UT, or OU - I don't think it would get the votes.
Yeah Muschamp is done. Chip Kelly's name already being floated out there.
Colin Cowherd said he has heard Kelly would listen if UF called. Take that for what it is worth though....
