I wonder if this tells us that the football coaches at UT and OU didn’t know about the move.
Ahh good point. Yes I had forgotten about him. Although I would hardly call Pardee a successful pro coach. He was alright, but not on the level of Bill Walsh or Pete Carroll.

Yes. Most of the skepticism I have towards Fickell to OU does not apply to Ohio State. That is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. OU isn’t that.

OU is a great job. All the resources without the fan base and donors being giant Aholes like at Texas.
Maybe its just me but has Lincoln Riley ever struck you as a superhero coach? He is good enough but nothing special.
You’re kind of making him sound a lot closer to Sonny Dykes than he deserves to be. He’s not Dabo or Saban but he’s in the next group of coaches who are leading programs to pretty high levels of success in a consistent basis.

How imagine my self everytime I comment 
Maybe UH will get lucky and finally benefit from the opposing team’s head coach being subject to countless job-related rumors. Karma for 2011 and 2016.

Fickell to ND confirmed

The two jobs I thought Fickell would consider is Ohio State and ND. Campbell can talk to ND now if he’s interested. Fickell will have to wait a few more days. ND may hire first guy available unless Fickell’s agent is getting on the phone saying he’s ready to take the job.
I love this!! Craziness.

You can tell these coaches have all this stuff lined up, as soon as they lose the important game they announce the new job and work to get the time line right, “so much has happened in the last 36 hours”
ya right

Notre Dame also falls into this category.
