2024-25 Coaching Carousel Thread

Transfer Portal question. When transfer player goes D1 → D1, they had to sit out a year. Is this still true?

Carey was a bad hire. He transitioned NIU from a conference power to mediocrity. I didn’t understand Temple’s reasoning there.

Duke is open as well

First time its immediate eligibility.
2nd time is sit out a year but there is a hardship waiver. We will see how liberal the NCAA is on defining hardship.

I don’t get this hire, if true.

Shane Beamer shrugging off VT and taking the OU job would feel like what Riley did wrt to LSU and USC.

Of course, the gap between OU and VT is much larger than the gap between OU, LSU, and USC.

Rich Rodriguez gets the Jacksonville State HC job.

I thought Louisiana Tech should have moved on him, but taking a coordinator from ULM was probably too much for them to bear. (Maybe they’ll do better.)

Supposedly its former LA Tech star QB Tim Rattay.

QB coach at Okie State. At LaTech as a WR then QB coach from 13-18.

Ahhh, that’s gotta be a popular hire! The football message board at LaTechBBB used to be named after him.

Per a push notification from The Athletic right now, LSU is targeting Brian Kelly, which is a shocker. ND’s also important because it’s on the list of jobs that Fickell would almost definitely consider leaving for, if offered. I suspect their first call would be to Urban Meyer, though.

It would be hilarious if Fickell wound up at ND, given that they also poached Kelly from Cincy.

LSU must be desperate.

Kelly will be fired or will quit in two years, mark my words.

He is going to see how hard it is to coach and recruit in the SEC.

ND literally has its own network and gets to juice its schedule playing Navy, USC, Purdue, Indiana, Stanford and numerous mediocre ACC teams. Most of the ACC teams are on the bad side, so it’s low risk, high reward.

Whenever his teams have to go against top talent, they get boat raced.

I would be interested to hear why the coach at UL did not take the LSU job. Maybe he assumes Riley was taking it so moved on.

BTW, my money for ND is on Urban Meyer.

I think Matt Campbell or Shane Beamer end up at OU. If Fickell does leave Cincinnati, keep an eye on the OC at Clemson, Tony Elliott.

But if I am Fickell, I stay the heck away from ND.

Belk is rumored for DC at Florida.
