2024-25 Coaching Carousel Thread

Oregon got caught buying players from Texas and got a slap on the hand right after USC got steamrolled by the NCAA.

Ha ha, really? I must say I did not know that.

Much more so than Sumlin ever was.

I love Dana’s antics on the sidelines.

Y’all ever watch CKS during the basketball season?

Will take that every day. Over having Major on the sideline, lifeless. Or turn on a Memphis basketball game. No emotion.

Correct. Somebody has been reading too many wvu message boards.

Seems like a pretty bad culture mismatch. The kind of player attracted to playing in Hawaii (often site-unseen, as they can’t always fly recruits out there) are probably not the kind that want to play for that kind of coach.

Hmmmm…

First hand, I’ve watched and listened to Sumlin be a straight up d!ck to alums in one-one and group situations.

Dang, Sonny Dykes is assembling a hell of a staff at TCU. The Tulsa DC is pretty good considering the talent level. And his offesne will look the same since he’s bringing over Garrett Riley as the OC. Curious to see if he gets a high profile quarterback in the transfer portal.

Okie State DC to Ohio State
A big loss. 3d in total defense in 2021.
“Knowles will head to Columbus, Ohio, after a wildly successful stint heading up the defense for the Cowboys from 2018-21.”

Tulsa DC (hire mentioned above) taking the CB coach to TCU.

Clemson is about to lose their O.C. to UVA after losing their D.C. earlier. This is potentially huge. IMO Clemson had the very best college football coaching staff.
Great hires by ou and UVA.

I do too. He is an avid fan of 3-4 defenses which happened to be my favorite. By the way I do not know what Mr. Phillips is planning on doing but I could sure see him as a “consultant” to CDH and CBelk.
Solid hire for teetech. His Air force defense days were solid. We have some “payback” on the line.

" He is not the first Oregon coach to be hired by another school this week. In fact, he’s the third to land a head coaching position. Former head coach Mario Cristobal was hired at Miami on Monday, and is expected to take offensive line coach Alex Mirabal and possibly others with him. Offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead was hired as the head coach at Akron. Defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter and safeties coach Marcel Yates were each brought on to coach at Texas Tech as well."

Kelly so/so at UCLA these days but w Oregon’s resources it should be a happy reunion.

PV has one of the highest FCS budgets, bigger than some FBS schools. PV is also a beloved HBCU (multiple family members of mine are PV alums) with decent fan support and a new stadium, so they dont have a hard time recruiting FCS talent and transfers.

Sumlin could do well over there IF its UH or A&M Sumlin. If its Arizona Sumlin…not so much
