2012/2013 Coaching Vacancies

[douglasbader]

It is so stupid. Gruden's shtick is all cute on TV, but the guy is a major prick that hasn't coached in college since 1991. I think he will wear extremely thin on the College level.

He should take the Eagles job and be done with it.

I agree it's a crap ton of money. But Arkansas has the money, has the donors, and has the backing of the community.

it probably won't happen, but would be interesting if it did.

@KySportsRadio: OFFICIAL: KSR can confirm Mark Stoops will be named Kentucky football coach this afternoon

Should've held out for something better.

Might be the best he can get right now given Florida State's reputation. Think the ACC is hurting that program.

Kentucky is possibly the worst head coach job in the B10, Pac12, B12, or SEC.

No way, not even close. I think they went to a string of Bowls recently under Rich Brooks.

[valp0guy]

Washington State, Colorado, Kansas, Indiana.


All worse or equal.

[Mo T]

kentucky has surpassed 8 wins in a season twice in 50 years and hasn't in almost 30 years. In the SEC, they will be lucky to ever be over .500.

Indiana is just as bad
Wash St has won 10 games several times in the past 20 years
Kansas has even had a chance at the NC game in the past 5 years.
Colorado, based on the current situation does suck.

[valp0guy]

Who gives an eff about what they did in the past?

In the present, all of those jobs suck.

Nope. I hate to say it but I just don't see it. More stable than they were a couple years ago, decent enthusiasm and a fan base that (currently) is thrilled with 6-6.

[FrodoTBaggin]

These retarded UK fans have even more retarded expectations.

[atemp]

If he does well at Kentucky, he would move himself to a position to replace Ferentz. The timing could be pretty could if he succeeds.

Truth..

@SPORTSbyBROOKS
Exclusive: SbB has learned Arkansas is engaged w/ reps of the interests of Les Miles & a $5-yr $27.5M offer is on the table

[BBK]

Dayum. Worth every penny, in my opinion.

[Gushawk]

That would be sweet, sweet pwnage.

[Whatever]

Miles will get paid and extended by LSU. He ain't going to Arkansas.

Does he have kf's agent? The only thing better than hanging a nfl job over their head is hanging a desperate rival over their head. Good sport

Agreed. Iowa State has also dropped some significant dough on their facilities on the last 5 years. Colorado doesn't even have an indoor practice facility, I'd substitute them for ISU.

I love how everyone's friends/relatives "down in _______ have heard that ________ has offered _______ the job for $___,____,____".

It's 2012. If anything has any substance, we'll all hear about it by the same time someone's random cousin who lives in that given state relays the message.

Of course....there are never any message board chats that are proven to be true long before the media confirms it.

What are you even talking about?

He's referring to my original quote about Gruden being offered by Arkansas.

Colorado might hire Mark Mangino.

[douglasbader]

I can see them doing this. They can likely get him for $.50 cents on the dollar and are facing sanctions anyways, so why not go all in.

[atemp]

Mangino has second interview with Colorado, would be a good hire for them.

[Crash Davis]

Auburn Gene Chizik -
Arkansas John L. Smith -
Boston College Frank Spaziani -
Cal Jeff Tedford -
Colorado Jon Embree -
Idaho Robb Akey - Jason Gesser
Kentucky Joker Phillips - Mark Stoops
NC State Tom O'Brien -
Purdue Danny Hope -
Southern Miss Ellis Johnson -
Tennessee Derek Dooley -
UTEP Mike Price -
Western Michigan Bill Cubit -

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Mangino is out of the running at Colorado, but OMHR?

Tom Dienhart ‏@BTNTomDienhart
A source close to Mark Mangino has told me that #Purdue has reached out to the former Kansas coach to solicit his interest in the job. #I am a giant douche

BATON ROUGE - LSU head football coach Les Miles, who became the second-winningest coach in Tiger football history during the 2012 season, will receive an increase in salary and a contract extension following LSU's bowl appearance this year, it was announced Wednesday by Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva.

Shocking!

[JD720]

Not surprising...

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- LSU athletic director Joe Alleva says football coach Les Miles is getting a raise and an extension through 2019.

Alleva confirmed the length of the deal after he and Miles's agent, George Bass reached an agreement on Wednesday afternoon.

Alleva says financial details of the contract are still in the negotiation process and will be announced at a later date.

Miles' previous contract paid about $3.75 million annually through 2017. He has not received a raise since 2008, though he has since received an extension and raises for assistants.

Purdue is fucking stupid. The had a coach take them to 2 straight bowls after being left with an empty cupboard, no fan support and shitty facilities and lost the the #1 and #2 ranked undefeated teams in the country by 3 and in overtime.

They deserve to hire a real dumbfuck.

[jabberja]

Purdue really seems to like coaches with mustaches.

I agree, dougie. I could never understand the outcry over Hope. Guy seems like a pretty decent coach who probably just needed some better recruiters on staff to do well.

Tough to recruit to West Lafayette..Indiana is a boring state and West Lafayette..yuck..I've been there a few times..not much to that place..

Nebraska is paying for Southern Mississippi's buyout, essentially, as the Golden Eagles are selling the home-game to Nebraska:

What's the market price for an easy home win in college football? The Southern Miss Golden Eagles have made a deal to move next season's opener—a long-anticipated matchup against Nebraska in Hattiesburg—to Nebraska instead. In a letter between the schools' athletic directors dated last week, which was viewed by Deadspin, Southern Miss agreed to sell home-field advantage to the Cornhuskers for $2,125,000, which is almost exactly the amount Southern Miss owes to its newly fired football coach.

The contract, sent from Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne to Southern Miss AD Jeff Hammond, serves as an amendment to a three-year deal signed in 2008. It was officially signed by USM's president this morning. Here's how it reads:

The location for the game shall be changed from M.M. Roberts Stadium in Hattiesburg, MS to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE.

The visiting team (the University of Southern Mississippi) shall be paid a flat dollar guarantee of $2,125,000,00.

On Tuesday, USM announced the firing of coach Ellis Johnson. For a debt-ridden athletics department, the cost of buying out the remaining three years of his contract is steep: $2.1 million. Funny how things work out.

Only $2.1 mil to buy him out? Pshhh

I bet they would rather have a new coach.

According to @KyleRingo, Cincy coach Butch Jones will interview with Colorado. Indictment of the Big East.
