The 2021-2022 Coaching Carousel

Dammit I want to luck into a good hire

He’d leave within a year anyway as we’re ****ing broke. Added bonus if he at least doesn’t reiterate his commitment on the weekend only to stab us in the back less than a week later.
 
Wazzu has played well under him but Dickert’s resume seems a little light for a P5 HC imo

Interim takes over in a difficult situation. Manages to rally the players and keep the ship on course. Gets the job permanently. Fails within two years as leading the program permanently is a different job than ensuring the bottom doesn’t fall out.

That seems to be how it goes most of the time although it is a difficult decision to deny him the job permanently as the pressure from donors and players will be big to do so and it’s the easiest way out.
 
The after Thanksgiving, the carousel went ballistic Update

Open jobs:

Florida- Dan Mullen is out. (h/t CUAviator) This is a surprise to me, I thought he would do well there. Greg Know interim (h/ DeNiro) Mullen turns down opportunity to coach the UF-FSU pillow fight.

Troy- No the other one, Chip Lindsey out (h/t DeNiro)

Akron- Tim Arth out, (h/t DeNiro) 3-24 overall, replaced on an interim basis by Oscar Rodriguez. UPDATE: Eddie George could be the man (h/t DeNiro)

Ohio- Frank Solich retires at the end of the year after 16 successful years as the Bobcat HC. (h/t Deniro) Health related retirement. Good for him to leave on his own terms.

USC- The big one. (h/t Deniro, also check Jens' USC Fires Clay Helton megathread). Mike Bohn is on the clock. My guess is Fickell, and then Franklin, in that order. UPDATE- Apparently, Mike Tomlin is not interested (h/t AlbasterYak)

FIU- Butch Davis is a gonna hang it up at the end of the year and retire.

LSU- Ed O out. (h/t Carolina Buff), apparently when Ed O isn't covering up sexual assaults and turning in unsatisfactory W-L records, he is propositioning random women at gas stations, unfortunately, the last lady of the pump was an LSU muckety-muck's wife. (h/t 14er). Who's gonna be? Melvin? Dave Aranda? Jakes Franklin? Joe Brady? Billy Napier? Ed O's buyout is $17M (h/t Creebuzz), about a dollar more than luminaries like HCKD. I would say Ed O will retire and go into broadcasting, but.....Lincoln Riley? (h/t Albaster Yak) . Add UK's Mark Stoops to the list (h/t CarolinaBuff) UPDATE: No Lincoln Riley, apparently. (h/t Jens)

UMASS- Fires their HC, (h/t BCS) Walt Bell out. (h/t DeNiro) UPDATE: AZ DC Don Brown a top name. (h/t DeNiro)

UW- Jimmy Lake fired. (h/t DeNiro, Serenity, Duff) $9.9Million payout. Justin Wilcox, come on down. Add Matt Campbell, Dave Aranda, Joe Moorhead and Kilani Sitake to the list (h/t Albaster yak)

VT- Hokie dances in the streets, Justin Fuente shown the door (h/t Jens). Dave Clawson may be the leader in the clubhouse.

Idaho- Paul Petrino out. (h/t SewallBeach)

La Tech- Skip Holtz fired (h/t DeNiro)


Filled Jobs:

Ohio- Tim Albin gets the job (h/t ahoelsken).

UCONN- Randy Edsall, Out. (h/t Deniro) Fmr. UCLA HC Jim Mora in (h/t DeNiro and CUAViator)

TCU- Gary Patterson gets the heave ho. (h/t BCS and Duff). TCU does a coaching drive by on SMU and snatches up Sonny Dykes. (h/t Carolina) A little bit of insider flavor, had a sit down with some TCU insiders over Thanksgiving, Patterson was told to rearrange his staff and let some AC's go, he declined, in a, shall we say, colorful manner. Two days later he was fired unceremoniously. Overplayed his hand.

SMU- Wastes no time hiring Rhett Lashlee, fmr. Miami OC (h/t DenIro)

WSU- Nick Rolovich fired for cause over vaccination status. (h/t BCS) Interim Jake Dickert in (h/t Sewall)

NMSU- Doug Martin out. (h/t DeNiro) Jerry Kill seizes the job (h/t Carolina)

Tulsa- Phillip Montgomery living on borrowed Tulsa time. CDSS.

Miami- Manny Diaz may not be the man. CDSS.

ASU- Herm Edwards has some pretty flagrant stuff hanging over his head, hard to believe it doesn't cost him. UPDATE: Herm stays (h/t DeNiro)

N. Texas- Seth Littrell siting at about .500 UPDATE: UNT rolls UTSA, job saver?

UNLV- Arroyo 0-12. (h/t ahoelsken)

kNU- Frosty probably done before the end of the year according to Steve Sipple. Not so fast my friend, trev Alberts restructures Frosty's contract and announces he will be back for 2022 (h/t DeNiro) OC Matt Lubick, OL Greg Austin, RB Ryan Held, and QB Mario Verduzco sacrificed that Frosty may coach another day. No word on if Herbie has been put on an ice floe.

fUCLA- Chip Kelly may have worn out his welcome in Westwood. (h/t AlbasterYak). UPDATE: Probably not


Other news:
