Coaching Carousel Megathread: 2024 Season (fanaticus.social)

It's time to set up the coaching carousel! P4 head coaching jobs will probably be very sparse this year, as athletic departments will be on the hook to pay players and are apparently no longer willing to pay the monstrous buyouts that many of their coaches have. But there may still be plenty of action in the Group of 5 (and among coordinators). Here's the current list of FBS HC moves (I'll update it as it spins along):

  • App State: ~~Shawn Clark~~ replaced by Dowell Loggains (South Carolina OC)
  • Ball State: ~~Mike Neu~~ replaced by Mike Uremovich (Butler HC)
  • Central Michigan: ~~Jim McElwain~~ (retired) replaced by Matt Drinkall (Army OC, Kansas Wesleyan HC)
  • Charlotte: ~~Biff Poggi~~ replaced by Tim Albin (Ohio HC)
  • East Carolina: ~~Mike Houston~~ replaced by Blake Harrell (ECU DC & interim HC)
  • FAU: ~~Tom Herman~~ replaced by Zach Kittley (Texas Tech OC)
  • FIU: ~~Mike MacIntyre~~ replaced by Willie Simmons (Duke RBs, FAMU HC, PVAMU HC)
  • Fresno State: ~~Jeff Tedford~~ (resigned in off-season) replaced by Matt Entz (USC LBs, North Dakota State HC)
  • Jacksonville State: ~~Rich Rodriguez~~ replaced by OPEN
  • Kennesaw State: ~~Brian Bohannon~~ replaced by Jerry Mack (Jaguars RBs, Tennessee RBs, NC Central HC)
  • Marshall: ~~Charles Huff~~ replaced by Tony Gibson (NC State DC, West Virginia DC)
  • New Mexico: ~~Bronco Mendenhall~~ replaced by Jason Eck (Idaho HC)
  • North Carolina: ~~Mack Brown~~ replaced by Bill Belichick (Patriots HC)
  • Ohio: ~~Tim Albin~~ replaced by Brian Smith (Ohio OC)
  • Purdue: ~~Ryan Walters~~ replaced by Barry Odom (UNLV HC, Missouri HC)
  • Rice: ~~Mike Bloomgren~~ replaced by Scott Abell (Davidson HC)
  • Sam Houston: ~~K.C. Keeler~~ replaced by Phil Longo (Wisconsin OC)
  • Southern Miss: ~~Will Hall~~ replaced by Charles Huff (Marshall HC, Alabama AHC)
  • Temple: ~~Stan Drayton~~ replaced by K.C. Keeler (Sam Houston HC, Delaware HC)
  • Tulsa: ~~Kevin Wilson~~ replaced by Tre Lamb (East Tennessee State HC, Gardner-Webb HC)
  • UCF: ~~Gus Malzahn~~ replaced by Scott Frost (Nebraska HC, UCF HC)
  • UMass: ~~Don Brown~~ replaced by Joe Harasymiak (Rutgers DC)
  • UNLV: ~~Barry Odom~~ replaced by Dan Mullen (Florida HC, Mississippi State HC)
  • Utah State: ~~Blake Anderson~~ replaced by Bronco Mendenhall (New Mexico HC, UVA HC, BYU HC)
  • Wake Forest: ~~Dave Clawson~~ replaced by Jake Dickert (Washington State HC)
  • Washington State: ~~Jake Dickert~~ replaced by OPEN
  • West Virginia: ~~Neal Brown~~ replaced by Rich Rodriguez (Jacksonville State HC, Arizona HC, Michigan HC, WVU HC)

Other notes: A lot of "hot seats" (e.g. Arkansas, Baylor, Florida, ~~West Virginia~~) probably cooled off by winning enough games. ~~Mack Brown at UNC claims he's not retiring.~~ Deion Sanders at CU claims he does not intend to go to the NFL.

CFP Prediction Results, and a look towards the offseason (lemmy.world)

Well yet another college football season is coming to a close tonight, so I figure it's time for me to finally announce winners for our prediction contest! Below you'll find a table with our top 5 results.

Actual Final Rankings [email protected] Score @[email protected] Score [email protected] Score @[email protected] Score [email protected] Score
Oregon Oregon 3 Oregon 3 Oregon 3 Oregon 3 Oregon 3

As you can see, nobody even scored half the available points. Though there were some really good smart guesses. Essentially everyone got Oregon, but Miami and BYU did a lot of us dirty. Congrats to @[email protected] for winning! I've sent messages to the the winners for them to claim their corresponding gift cards. Thanks to everyone who played or just hung out with us this year. I love our little corner of the internet here, we've got manageable numbers of gator and tide fans. In all seriousness though, I do think that this community punches well above its weight in terms of quality content to active user ratio, and I hope that we continue to slowly build up our presence here. To that end, I'd also like to present this post as an open forum on our mod team (specifically me). This is my first time modding for a community, and even though we're small I want to provide a good experience to our users. Hopefully one day we're big enough to warrant actual moderation and I can take a step back, but until then I'm all ears if anyone has suggestions on what we can do for our community. Good luck this afternoon to anyone playing, and I'll see y'all for whatever off season drama comes our way.

Not their best work, IMHO, but the Herbstreit tag they either pulled off the pile or had him record makes me think they agree.

Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

  • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.
