The 2020 COVID Coaching Carousel

Will Steele land a good DC job? Will a HC trust him given his Aub shenanigans?
It wouldn't surprise me if he became a repeat of what happened with Gene Chizic. He'll leave and eventually, no matter how mediocre his post-Auburn accomplishments, boosters will bring him back as the next hire because they know that he'll let them run the program to get him the players he needs.

Clark Lea hired at Vandy.
 
@leftybuff For the Utah State Update, there is a minor typo., Yiu’ve typed that Arky State hired Blake Anderson. It should read Utah State hired Arky State’s Blake Anderson.
 
Jim Leavitt is 64 years old. I know he’s a high energy guy, but how much gas is left in that tank?
 
Harbaugh hired Mason at Stanford years ago, so there’s a connection but agree I’d probably go with Strong from that list.

Muschamp still out there too - have to believe he’s going to be in high demand for some premier DC jobs.

Harbaugh also hired Leavitt while with the 49ers.

I think Muschamp will be LSU's top choice.
 
Looks like Boise is going after moore. That seems pretty risky for them. Never coached at the college level and he is really young.

I actually think thats a great hire if he goes there, and I think he's gonna take it. The Cowboys are a mess.
