Agree. I listed P4 jobs.

After what happened at FAU, Herman will probably have to take an OC job. I don’t think he gets a HC job unless he goes down to a lower division (and there’s no way he does that).

Ah I see. P4 wasn’t in the title so I assumed you were discussing all open jobs. My bad. Go Coogs.

The USF Russian Golesh gets a good gig.

Auburn likely to open, and while FSU and Wisconsin have made indications to the contrary, I’m inclined to believe there’s a strong probability they open up, too.

There are rumblings that Sark wants out of Texas and wants a pro job.

:rofl: :joy: :rofl:

Well as a resident of Atlanta, NFL fans take note of his performance as Falcons OC in 2017-18 Season. No bueno!

For those that think Tom Herman may be a candidate for these P4 jobs, dream on. I think Tom Herman should focus on rehabilitating his career. I do not view his time at UT as successful, despite winning more games than he lost. His time at FAU was even worse.

Herman needs to either drop down to the G level as a head coach or try as a offensive coordinator at a P4. I think his quickest way to being a head coach at a P4 is taking on an OC role at a P4. With the transient nature of head coaching, he may get a head coaching shot sooner than we think.

He already got fired as Head Coach at FAU; he needs to drop back to OC at Rice or something and work his way back up.

Tom Herman to Sam Houston?

That way he can say it’s where he always wanted to be.

Dude deserves it imo

Put Jimbo Fisher in that list.

He wants to coach again

Kiffin to LSU!

Kiffin’s bank account is about to look like me after an all you can eat Vegas buffet.

I have no sympathy for schools stuck with a huge buyout. I know why they put it in the contract; to discourage the coach from moving. The greater likelihood is that the coach will fail to live up to expectations and the school will fire the coach. Texas A&M, LSU, Florida, and yes, I would put UH in that category for the Holgorsen extension, are making decisions based on everything working as planned, when in fact, it rarely happens that way.

The Lsu AD is bad.

He now has jimbo at A&M he had to buy out and now Lsu .

He really screwed up. 75 mil and 50 mil

I heard that a booster is helping buy out the Lsu contract but he said he’s done after this and others will have to help pay the new coach.

It’s bc money isn’t endless and booster fatigue sets in so Lsu is taking a hit bc that booster is done.

All schools need to rethink these huge buyouts.

Your still graining your money source whether from the school or boosters.

Saw something liking Sark to the Dolphins. Maybe folks thinking he can get something out of Tua

Herman needs to retire, he got fired by FAU. On a side note Levine needs to come out of retirement for a GM position, his teams may have underperformed on the field under him, but he assembled that incredible 2015 team.
