2024-25 Coaching Carousel Thread

Scott Frost is headed back to UCF. Should be official later today.

UCF gave it a shot.
NO buyout for Riley if he leaves for a CFB job.

Riley 2 NFL as an OC more likely in 25.
Cant last at uSC at $10 million a year.

Matt Entz (old ND State HC) 2 Fresno State.
USC co- DC.

I can’t decide whether it would be funnier if UCF hired Scott Frost or Lincoln Riley.

Riley left OU for the USC job. Unless he is fired, I can’t see him stepping down to UCF.

Where did Clay Helton go after he was fired at USC? USC to Georgia Southern. You take the best offer that comes your way.

And Kiffin went to Bama OC and then FAU.

If his seat is hot enough, I can see the move making sense.

And our favorite example of all, Dana Holgorsen went from HC at WVU to some G5 school.

If he does take the UNC job, it’ll be like when Mack brown left Tulane for UNC back in the early 80’s

Yeah that is quite a coincidence. Tulane fans seem to think he will be gone

Poor Tulane man….

We know the feeling

Holgerson gets his man.

2 years in a row losing your HC? Man that would be tough.

UCLA fired OC Eric Bieniemy

UCF needs help getting back to who they were a few years ago. Frost going back would be interesting…Like Mack Brown going back to North Carolina.

I know what you are thinking…If UCF can bring back Frost, why can’t UH bring back Herman?

No.

Herman was just fired from FAU. No one is thinking that.

Man, I remember being deeply upset he wasn’t named Head Coach of the Texans a couple years ago. His career has spiraled hard since that point.

The big difference is that UCF is in a power conference now.
