Official 2016 Coaching Carousel

If leavitt leaves he would be an amazing hire.
I think Coach O is going to get the job based on Finebaum and some other media. He's got to beat Florida and aTm, though.
DeNiro
My Dixie Wrecked
That's funny.
Jimbo/aranda combo would be damn good though. That's probably about as good as LSU could do.
In theory. But Fisher does not seem like a good CEO to me.
I don't think so. I think LSU fans have an inflated view of their place in College football.
Seems lateral to me. Not sure why he would do that unless he just wants a change of scenery or there are issues at FSU.
They definitely have high expectations but why is it crazy for a team that puts more talent in the NFL than pretty much anyone to win their division once in five years?
I see it as a good move preventing his situation from getting stale like we see with so many coaches.
Two words: Nick Saban
I understand that but they haven't beat him in what 5 years? Meanwhile ole miss has beat him twice and almost a third time this year
Reset:
I am really surprised there isn't more spin to the carousel by now.
Open jobs:
1. FIU- Ron Turner fired before the leaves turned. Names: Supposedly it is Butch Davis job to turn down.
2. Purdue- Darrell Hazell fired. Names: early rumor Troy Calhoun of AFA (he has since denied), and practically every B1G assistant out there, search firm hired.
3. LSU- Les Miles canned. Ed "The Cajun Wild Man" Orgeron at the helm with an interim tag. Names: Jimbo Fisher rumored to be the guy, as noted above by TDforTD, other rumors: Herman, Briles, Holgerson.
Jobs filled:
1. Fresno- Jeff Tedford gets the job, mid-season. Good hire, but the timing is weird. Of note, D II Danny applied and interviewed for the gig, according to the Fresno Bee.
Highly probable openings:
1. Baylor- Old Man Grobe at the helm with an interim tag. Names: Don't know, but something tells me Dykes may be on their radar.
2. UT-I'll go ahead and add them here, Strong is 5-5. I really doubt he will survive.
3. Oregon- I'll speculate a little here too, I don't think Helfrich survives the 3-7 dumpster fire he started in Eugene. ESPN hack said a week ago or so that Uncle Phil is ready to throw a ton of cash at a proven winner...not good news for Helfrich.

Hot G5 coaches this offseason who should get offered P5 jobs:

P.J. Fleck (Western Michigan)
************************************
Matt Rhule (Temple)
Bryan Harsin (Boise State)
Willie Taggert (USF)
Jeff Brohm (Western Kentucky)
Who else might get a look?

Jeff Brohm at WKU
It's one good year at Wyoming and they did lose at UNLV this past week.
The age thing is why I didn't list him or SDSU's Rocky Long, though.
Does Scott Frost get a look somewhere taking UCF from winless last year to 6-4 so far this year in his first season? Maybe not a P5, but possibly a better positioned G5 school?
There's a better positioned G5 school?
Funny typo in that tweet.
Houston?
Debatable. Only 3 P5 schools in Florida while Texas has 5 and the recruiting talent is about the same.

Agree. He'd be trading playing 2nd fiddle to Clemson for playing 2nd fiddle to Alabama. Jimbo at Texas would make a lot of sense though.....
Difference being that he isn't perpetually in 2nd place to Clemson. They will have up years and down years. At LSU - or any SEC school for that matter - you're usually playing for second until Saban leaves. Saban is a machine. The only coach that can compete with him, IMO, is Urban Meyer.
