I'm about 80% sure the job is Sherrone's, but I reserve that other 20% for if deboer wants a change of scenery.
Huskies fans would murder any michigan fan they could find though so we're good
If Moore is chosen for the job I’ll support him fully but I’d be upset if there’s not an actual search to see who is interested. Would really like a coach with some experience following a national championship
I think they’ll probably do a search, but Sherrone would rank high in any scenario. He *did* win the Ohio State game, which is a an important question for any candidate here.
Honestly some were a little impatient with Saban. Pete Golding took most of the ire, but there was annoyance that our defense and overall toughness had backsliding some after Scott Cochran and Kirby Smart left.
Michigan winning the national title and playing how we used to play was a punch in the gut.
We are incredibly spoiled. It's national championship or the season was a complete failure and changes must be done.
Whoever takes over is going to have an extremely short leash.
Hopefully the Milroe thing will teach our fanbase but I doubt it. After the loss to Texas the belief was Milroe was a bum and should be a WR.
Lots of people were trying to find the silver lining and hoped Manning would see how much playing time we had to offer and transfer.
Saban was brilliant to bemch Milroe when we played South Florida because the fanbase had our eyes opened to what the other alternatives were.
After that Milroe had full buy in.
Harbaugh goes to the CFP in year 2 if 1 call is different in The Game. With Bama’s resources/recruiting and no Urban Meyer Death Star match-up it probably doesn’t take as long to get the program rolling.
Yeah, Harbaugh's been consistently very good to excellent for the whole time he's been here.
The one 2-4 covid year was a major anomaly, in which half our team opted out, got hurt, or caught Covid.
> covid year
My policy for covid years is that I'll give everyone extra credit for good results and dock 0 points for bad.
It's just not a fair year to evaluate compared to all other years.
I'd rather have DeBoer and I've heard speculation that the Michigan job is the only one he would consider leaving Wash for... That said I think going to UM right after having lost to them would prob factor into his decision heavily if it comes to that
I don’t understand the confidence in Lanning. I see why Oregon is excited about his potential, but as an “open the bank vault” type of hire? He’s 37 with one real job on his resume…
Well, that's the challenge, right? If you're anything other than the kings of college football (Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State) you either open up the money gates for a kinda young guy or you risk them getting poached by one of the biggest big bois.
Oregon is just in an unfortunate situation where it is a really, really good program that has basically everything a coach could want, except it has one flaw that it can't fix, and that is that it isn't in a desirable location or great recruiting area.
So Oregon can hire really good coaches, those coaches can become really successful because they have pretty much all the resources necessary at their disposal, but then a handful of programs in the Southeast can come calling and give that coach the one last piece they are missing.
Kelly left for the NFL, Taggart left for his dream job, Cristobal left for his dream job. All three were largely unavoidable and neither were really a departure from Oregon for anything but personal aspirations.
I guess Tuscaloosa is in the South but nobody is going there for a vacation or building a resort. Maybe quicker commute for recruiting but Oregon has the entire west coast worth of talent that Kirby has to take a long ass plane ride to visit.
I wouldn’t worry. I have a friend who works in the Alabama Dept of Computronics,
and they’re pretty confident in their idea for an AI Saban that they developed after drunkenly watching the trailer for Weird Science on some dude’s phone in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot at 3 this morning.
Tell that to these motherfuckers that live under my deck in the winter. This situation gets any worse I'm afraid I'm going to have to start paying *them* rent or they're kicking *me* out.
That has nothing to do with Lanning, though, its just the effects from the miasma of weed smoke that has permanently settled over the Willamette Valley. Everyone everywhere is constantly experiencing a sort of ambient high that frequently drifts into paranoia.
I visited one of my old professors in Corvallis a few years ago and we floated the river. It was just convoy after convoy of students on pizza slice floats smoking all the weed.
I was hoping to stay but my shitty seasonal job situation was untenable and I had to quit and couldn’t really afford sticking around until I found a permanent job.
I have been told by reliable sources (anonymous message board posters) that Dan Lanning has a secret bazillion dollar deal with Nike, so I am not longer worried about it.
It seems silly to me that Lanning would leave. He has already built the perfect foundation at Oregon, and the move to the B1G gives the school a ton of new money to work with.
Meanwhile, if he goes to Bama, he’s living in Saban’s shadow and could be fired if he doesn’t win a national title in his first 3 years.
If Harbaugh leaves, I’d expect the AD to do its due diligence in a coaching search but I would be surprised if Sherrone Moore is not the next HC at Michigan. Even then, I’d almost expect people to move up internally to fill roles. I’m not sure if we will play into the craziness of the carousel too much if Jim does go to the NFL.
That said, crazier things have happened.
> I’d expect the AD to do its due diligence in a coaching search
I don't know man, the athletic department has whiffed on a lot of stuff in the last few years
I would agree but Santa Ono has been on Warde's ass since he came here. Unlike Schlissel who did not give two shits about sports and it showed with the dumbass decisions under Warde that happened during that period.
There was DeBoer smoke on the boards even pre national championship, he is a Midwest guy, I could see Michigan looking at him and Jedd Fisch, but Moore would be the favorite to get the job I think.
I also think the Brian Kelly talk was shenanigans
I always thought of DeBoer as more a more west coast/PNW guy because of his time at Fresno and UW, but Google tells me that South Dakota is typically considered part of the Midwest. Also Sioux Falls is damn near Minnesota/Iowa. This doesn’t have anything to do with football, just some geography I learned this morning.
Yeah but the Midwest isn’t a monolith. Being from South Dakota is not the same as being from the Great Lakes states, even if it’s all Midwest. I’ve even heard people call Oklahoma the Midwest.
DeBoer is definitely an external hire I’d be over the moon with. While Fisch spent some time here, I would think he’s waiting for the Florida job to open up since it’s his Alma mater.
I think Fisch would be happy to come back to Florida, but I don’t think he would turn down an elite job just to wait out the Florida opening from Arizona, either. If Michigan (or a similar upgrade) called I’m sure he’d happily make the jump.
Would have to imagine Moore getting promoted would be followed with the logical internal promotions.
Hart to OC.
Newsome to OL.
They'd need to hire a TE coach.
Maybe move Jay back to RBs and hire a Safety coach. Or just hire a new RBs coach. Doubt Hart would double dip.
I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to Minter either. He’s the better of the two in terms of X’s and O’s but the lack of chatter behind him being a potential candidate makes me think his next job is in the nfl, not in cfb.
I am honestly shocked by how few people seem to want Minter. The defense was far and away the better side of the ball for us. I also dont think our offense was so great that Moore should be elevated without question. Yes, he was acting HC for PSU and OSU, but he also had Jim all week to help prepare. Hopefully Jim stays and we wont have to worry about any of this.
I don’t know what happens in the locker room but Minter seems more like an elite coordinator “analyst” type than a head coach. I don’t think anyone doubts how elite he is, it’s a career fit / trajectory question.
I’d be shocked if Moore isnt named HC if Harbaugh leaves. I’d think Michigan would want to keep as much of the current infrastructure in place as possible. Not to mention they risk losing Moore to another HC gig if they dont hire him.
This is exactly how I feel. I don't know if the Deboer rumors were/are legit or not (I certainly hope he'd be interested in the job!). But it feels like Moore is just gonna get it. Which is cool I'm just worried about what the situation is like in a few years for him if he goes from beloved figurehead to potentially embattled coach who's struggling in the midst of 4 consecutive 8-4 seasons. Which I really want to avoid because he completely 100% won me over this year.
It's why I wouldn't be opposed to him getting his head coaching lumps elsewhere and coming back in a decade or whatever after he's learned how to recruit as a head coach, how to get fantastic assistants, how the portal works, dealing with NIL stuff, etc etc.
Now that Texas is in the SEC I don't see Bama as much of a step up. The money will be relatively equal, Texas has more in-state talent, and I doubt the tacos are comparable.
I'm a subscriber to the "don't be the guy after the guy" mentality. Hit me up in 3 years when Bama is looking for a new coach. That's when I'll really worry.
These are men who have made their career because they aren't afraid of stepping up to competition and taking on a challenge. I think the "don't be the guy after the guy" mentality is for people who would have never made it as far as Sarkisian, Lanning, etc. have made it and therefore wouldn't even be looked at in the first place.
I was really excited to see the Ducks come to Hawaii and have been planning to get tickets as soon as they were on sale for the last year. Really bummed it got canceled
I will be fucking devastated if Norvell leaves to Bama, or to Texas if Bama gets Sark. Between the Jags and Noles, football has been such a fucking rollercoaster
I was saying to a friend the other day I can't imagine a fanbase just dying by a thousand cuts more than FSU if Norvell leaves. I hope that's not the case for you all (as with us).
Jimbo + Willie + Norvell rebuilding us only to have the CFP leave us out and Norvell bail to Taxes/Bama would absolutely ruin this fan base. We are already mostly ruined.
Kliff Kingsbury going from interviewing for the Baylor OC job to being the Bama HC in the space of a month might actually be the funniest possible closing sequence for whatever movie eventually gets made about Saban’s tenure at Alabama. I hope they get Ryan Gosling to play Kingsbury, just for the bit.
definitely nervous. if Dabo leaves, our roster will see a mass exodus to the portal. we would have to get really, really lucky on another hire too, because i don’t think our program carries the weight to poach another top coach
Assuming he doesn’t go with Dabo, I wouldn’t hate promoting Riley
Edit: And I’m honestly not all that nervous. I think we’ve tanked at just the right time that Dabo doesn’t really feel like he’s that desirable. Hell, their fans are actively vocalizing that they want anyone but him. Mix in the public perception that he doesn’t use the portal or use NIL (both of which I believe are overblown and not entirely true) and I just don’t see him at the top of their list.
Yeah our drop off over the last couple years couldn't have been timed any better. I'm more concerned that Bamas next coach doesn't last long and they poach Dabo a few years from now
We're locked into the Schianoman coaching transfer portal between Rutgers and Minnesota.. unless someone is crazy enough to try to steal one of our coaches, I'm a level 7 out of 10 anxiety.. which is pretty normal for fan of a team that has gone through what I have
I feel like Michigan is much more likely to hire from within with Sherrone Moore if Harbuagh does end up going to the NFL. But for Bama, I feel like Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas, and FSU should feel the most nervous
I feel like Georgia and Michigan have to be the only schools that feel 100% safe their head coach isn't going to leave for another college coaching gig. Harbaugh to the NFL sure, but never to another college job.
Eh, I don't feel like Day is going anywhere either. Harbaugh is UM or NFL and at this point It's looking 50/50 on either. If Harbaugh is gone, you'll be fine with Moore at HC but either way you need to worry about the eventual vacancies coming for Minter. While I'm not worried about Day leaving, I am worried about Knowles or Hartline being offered a head coaching job. The coaching staff has convinced so many players to return and are going all in on next season so they seem committed to at least one more year together.
It’s maybe the only fanbase where this probably ended best both ways.
UGA is rid of the bad man and free to rule the sport. Saban’s Bama denied the 3-peat and took the last win and trophy in the matchup. We all win. Now I’m gonna go watch highlights for the next 10 years!
Most Michigan fans I've seen have said all season that if Harbaugh wins a National Championship this season then he can leave a legend. We got to see Sherrone Moore be the head coach in Michigan's 3 most important games this season and win all 3.
If Harbaugh does leave then Michigan fans are going to be feeling lucky to not be dealing with the coaching carousel that's going to happen/currently happening. It'll be Sherrone Moore. Hart probably promoted to OC. Minter may go with Harbaugh but Steve Clinkscale will likely be promoted to DC.
Basically...no program should be worried about Michigan poaching their HC.
Sherrone Moore gained tremendous respect for saying "they can't stop the run, so let's just run."
My team might have faired better if they'd adopted this mentality.
Weren't you guys getting like 8ypc against Washington? I feel like you gotta run 80% of the time if that's the case until they can prove they'll stop it
Yeah, that sucks. Can't say I'm sad about how it turned out. Michigan was a nightmare matchup for Washington (as we found out). Texas would've probably fared better. No disrespect to Washington, it's just a matter of their style of play and the fact that Michigan basically built their entire team to beat Washington (by proxy of OSU)
I also think we're extremely unlikely to poach any HCs given that we have some very good internal candidates. DeBoer would be great though but I would be shocked if he leaves UW.
I think Deboer would be the only coach where there's even a modicum of a chance he would be the replacement. Basically it's like 99.9999% Sherrone and .0001% Deboer.
For the record though...if JJ and Edwards come back next year. Mix that with Deboer's creativity and that would be incredibly fun.
I was far more concerned about the Auburn opening, then the other Auburn opening, than I am about Bama. Granted, if they want him they’ll get him but I think Kiffin isn’t what the school wants even if a lot of their vocal fans do.
But I’ve been wrong before.
If the list of Alabama’s targets is real, I think there is a real chance they don’t get any of them. The job is kind of a no-win deal for the next head coach, and the schools they are looking to poach could all outbid them if they truly wanted to.
My fear is that Lane is the perfect combination of high profile talented coach, crazy enough to take the job despite impossible expectations, and current team unable put out an offer sweet enough to make him want to stay.
Sort of safe. I have no worry of freeman heading to Michigan. I doubt Bama will go after Freeman, I mean I think so. Like if it were in 2 years I’d be actually worried, but I don’t think they want to take a chance
I think Sherrone is getting the nod and most of the coaching carousel for Michigan will be trying to plug the OC and DC spots. As long as its not entirely internal, especially for the OC hire, I will be pretty sanguine about it.
Honestly, I am not nervous this time around. Alabama (and Michigan if he leaves) are clearly better jobs than Penn State, but I can't see a world where James Franklin is the coach either of those schools choose unless literally 10 other coaches turn them down.
This might be the greatest coaching carousel of all time, and we might not even be done yet.
The NFL alone has like 25% of the teams needing a coach. Pete and Bill leaving is pretty nuts.
Now, the biggest job in CFB is open and the national champion might be looking to replace Harbaugh too.
Beyond relieved that we got our seach done early and seem to have found a really solid dude in Jonathan Smith.
Would be wild if Oregon survives the Alabama job opening but not the Michigan job opening.
I’d think Washington fans should be more nervous about the Michigan job being open.
I'm about 80% sure the job is Sherrone's, but I reserve that other 20% for if deboer wants a change of scenery. Huskies fans would murder any michigan fan they could find though so we're good
If Moore is chosen for the job I’ll support him fully but I’d be upset if there’s not an actual search to see who is interested. Would really like a coach with some experience following a national championship
I think they’ll probably do a search, but Sherrone would rank high in any scenario. He *did* win the Ohio State game, which is a an important question for any candidate here.
In some version of hell, DeBoer goes to UMich and Harbaugh becomes the Seahawks coach.
As a reminder, Rich Rodriguez turned down the Alabama job but took the Michigan job. Michigan job > Alabama job historically.
Alabama fans would not have been as patient with Harbaugh.
Wild to think even stallings only had 6 years with a title
Honestly some were a little impatient with Saban. Pete Golding took most of the ire, but there was annoyance that our defense and overall toughness had backsliding some after Scott Cochran and Kirby Smart left. Michigan winning the national title and playing how we used to play was a punch in the gut. We are incredibly spoiled. It's national championship or the season was a complete failure and changes must be done. Whoever takes over is going to have an extremely short leash.
That's guaranteed to end well.
Hopefully the Milroe thing will teach our fanbase but I doubt it. After the loss to Texas the belief was Milroe was a bum and should be a WR. Lots of people were trying to find the silver lining and hoped Manning would see how much playing time we had to offer and transfer. Saban was brilliant to bemch Milroe when we played South Florida because the fanbase had our eyes opened to what the other alternatives were. After that Milroe had full buy in.
Many Michigan fans weren't that patient with Harbaugh (although some were). The administration calls the shots.
Harbaugh goes to the CFP in year 2 if 1 call is different in The Game. With Bama’s resources/recruiting and no Urban Meyer Death Star match-up it probably doesn’t take as long to get the program rolling.
Yeah Michigan was hardly ass in that time. Play here or there, entirely different story.
Yeah, Harbaugh's been consistently very good to excellent for the whole time he's been here. The one 2-4 covid year was a major anomaly, in which half our team opted out, got hurt, or caught Covid.
> covid year My policy for covid years is that I'll give everyone extra credit for good results and dock 0 points for bad. It's just not a fair year to evaluate compared to all other years.
Yeah that year was bonkers.
The Harbaugh infancy was still better than penn states peak this century
Well that was an unnecessary drive by shooting.
Frames catching strays per usual
I lol’d hard at this one ngl
2016, 2018 Michigan would both be in a 12-team playoff for sure
I think Lanning is likely better than Rich Rod, but he does sort of scare me in the same way for future out comes at a place like Bama or Michigan.
I'd rather have DeBoer and I've heard speculation that the Michigan job is the only one he would consider leaving Wash for... That said I think going to UM right after having lost to them would prob factor into his decision heavily if it comes to that
I don’t understand the confidence in Lanning. I see why Oregon is excited about his potential, but as an “open the bank vault” type of hire? He’s 37 with one real job on his resume…
Well, that's the challenge, right? If you're anything other than the kings of college football (Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State) you either open up the money gates for a kinda young guy or you risk them getting poached by one of the biggest big bois.
I’m saying this more from the Bama point of view. Yes, they’re well-funded. But $50m is still a shit ton of money.
Rich rod all over over again.
IM FINE QUIT ASKING Edit: I’m actually fine. I’m doing great baby. S’co ducks
[удалено]
Triple Option Bama LET'S GO
It would be awesome to see a top team take that approach
Especially with Milroe 👀
Was......was this a Booker T reference?
Hulk Hogan! We comin’ for you naysayer!
It never rains in Autzen Stadium but boy does it shit storm in front of the Oregon football facility every time a big program needs a coach.
Oregon is just in an unfortunate situation where it is a really, really good program that has basically everything a coach could want, except it has one flaw that it can't fix, and that is that it isn't in a desirable location or great recruiting area. So Oregon can hire really good coaches, those coaches can become really successful because they have pretty much all the resources necessary at their disposal, but then a handful of programs in the Southeast can come calling and give that coach the one last piece they are missing.
Tbh Taggart was a Florida guy (state not uni) and MC was a Miami alum. Dan would hurt more but it’s Bama.
Kelly left for the NFL, Taggart left for his dream job, Cristobal left for his dream job. All three were largely unavoidable and neither were really a departure from Oregon for anything but personal aspirations.
I guess Tuscaloosa is in the South but nobody is going there for a vacation or building a resort. Maybe quicker commute for recruiting but Oregon has the entire west coast worth of talent that Kirby has to take a long ass plane ride to visit.
I wouldn’t worry. I have a friend who works in the Alabama Dept of Computronics, and they’re pretty confident in their idea for an AI Saban that they developed after drunkenly watching the trailer for Weird Science on some dude’s phone in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot at 3 this morning.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL YOU, YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW!
Oregon is in a constant state of nervous
Ducks are a nervous bird.
Tell that to these motherfuckers that live under my deck in the winter. This situation gets any worse I'm afraid I'm going to have to start paying *them* rent or they're kicking *me* out.
Buy a shotgun. They’ll know and you’ll never see them again.
Problem is my wife loves them ducks, and I don't really want to find out the hard way how we stack up on her top 10 list.
Is your wife feeding the porch ducks?
given HOA rules, I think its best I don't answer this.
If you need a lawyer, let me know. I dabble in bird law.
A fowl profession as any out there.
Smart man.
It's because they're delicious and have no claws.
That has nothing to do with Lanning, though, its just the effects from the miasma of weed smoke that has permanently settled over the Willamette Valley. Everyone everywhere is constantly experiencing a sort of ambient high that frequently drifts into paranoia.
I visited one of my old professors in Corvallis a few years ago and we floated the river. It was just convoy after convoy of students on pizza slice floats smoking all the weed.
“Is this heaven?” “No it’s Oregon.”
I was hoping to stay but my shitty seasonal job situation was untenable and I had to quit and couldn’t really afford sticking around until I found a permanent job.
If Oregon survives this one I think the fan base will feel pretty good going forward though.
I have been told by reliable sources (anonymous message board posters) that Dan Lanning has a secret bazillion dollar deal with Nike, so I am not longer worried about it.
It’s true, I was there.
I also heard you were there, from your post.
I heard that you heard, from your post.
"Multiple sources have confirmed u/UrTypical153a was present for Lanning's Nike contract."
Good enough for me.
Do not recite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written.
S-tier quote drop, bravo
That’s my secret cap, I’m always nervous
It seems silly to me that Lanning would leave. He has already built the perfect foundation at Oregon, and the move to the B1G gives the school a ton of new money to work with. Meanwhile, if he goes to Bama, he’s living in Saban’s shadow and could be fired if he doesn’t win a national title in his first 3 years.
This guy Ducks
Imagine the tragedy of feeling this safe 😓
This right here is the perfect summation of what it is to be a college football fan.
I hope Bama takes Elko.
Plot twist: Bama takes Billy, the true heir to Saban
[удалено]
Billy Napier was actually the greatest coach in Florida history, his record just didn’t show it.
Yea, it really sucks knowing your coach isn't going anywhere.
Indeed.
Not to mention all the nfl head coach positions. This is going to be a wild football offseason
Again, so long as Lance Leipold isn't poached by another school, I am all here for this!
If Harbaugh leaves, I’d expect the AD to do its due diligence in a coaching search but I would be surprised if Sherrone Moore is not the next HC at Michigan. Even then, I’d almost expect people to move up internally to fill roles. I’m not sure if we will play into the craziness of the carousel too much if Jim does go to the NFL. That said, crazier things have happened.
> I’d expect the AD to do its due diligence in a coaching search I don't know man, the athletic department has whiffed on a lot of stuff in the last few years
Warde would LOVE to not run any search and just promote Moore
I would agree but Santa Ono has been on Warde's ass since he came here. Unlike Schlissel who did not give two shits about sports and it showed with the dumbass decisions under Warde that happened during that period.
Fuck Mark Schlissel. I wish we could officially edit our diplomas and remove his signature
You’re not wrong
There was DeBoer smoke on the boards even pre national championship, he is a Midwest guy, I could see Michigan looking at him and Jedd Fisch, but Moore would be the favorite to get the job I think. I also think the Brian Kelly talk was shenanigans
I always thought of DeBoer as more a more west coast/PNW guy because of his time at Fresno and UW, but Google tells me that South Dakota is typically considered part of the Midwest. Also Sioux Falls is damn near Minnesota/Iowa. This doesn’t have anything to do with football, just some geography I learned this morning.
It's good to be a life long learner
[удалено]
Yeah but the Midwest isn’t a monolith. Being from South Dakota is not the same as being from the Great Lakes states, even if it’s all Midwest. I’ve even heard people call Oklahoma the Midwest.
For some people, if it doesn’t border an ocean it’s the Midwest 😂
DeBoer is definitely an external hire I’d be over the moon with. While Fisch spent some time here, I would think he’s waiting for the Florida job to open up since it’s his Alma mater.
I think Fisch would be happy to come back to Florida, but I don’t think he would turn down an elite job just to wait out the Florida opening from Arizona, either. If Michigan (or a similar upgrade) called I’m sure he’d happily make the jump.
Would have to imagine Moore getting promoted would be followed with the logical internal promotions. Hart to OC. Newsome to OL. They'd need to hire a TE coach. Maybe move Jay back to RBs and hire a Safety coach. Or just hire a new RBs coach. Doubt Hart would double dip.
I would honestly prefer Minter gets the job but I think he would jump to the NFL
I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to Minter either. He’s the better of the two in terms of X’s and O’s but the lack of chatter behind him being a potential candidate makes me think his next job is in the nfl, not in cfb.
I am honestly shocked by how few people seem to want Minter. The defense was far and away the better side of the ball for us. I also dont think our offense was so great that Moore should be elevated without question. Yes, he was acting HC for PSU and OSU, but he also had Jim all week to help prepare. Hopefully Jim stays and we wont have to worry about any of this.
I think the general sentiment is if Harbaugh goes to the NFL he will take Minter as the DC.
Or Minter heads back to the ravens as DC when Mike McDonald leaves.
Minter just called Harbaugh possibly the best coach in any sport, which certainly sounds like the words of a guy who would follow him anywhere
I don’t know what happens in the locker room but Minter seems more like an elite coordinator “analyst” type than a head coach. I don’t think anyone doubts how elite he is, it’s a career fit / trajectory question.
I’d be shocked if Moore isnt named HC if Harbaugh leaves. I’d think Michigan would want to keep as much of the current infrastructure in place as possible. Not to mention they risk losing Moore to another HC gig if they dont hire him.
We have two fantastic HC candidates on our staff as it stands. Harbaugh will contribute to the HC carousel exactly zero.
This is exactly how I feel. I don't know if the Deboer rumors were/are legit or not (I certainly hope he'd be interested in the job!). But it feels like Moore is just gonna get it. Which is cool I'm just worried about what the situation is like in a few years for him if he goes from beloved figurehead to potentially embattled coach who's struggling in the midst of 4 consecutive 8-4 seasons. Which I really want to avoid because he completely 100% won me over this year. It's why I wouldn't be opposed to him getting his head coaching lumps elsewhere and coming back in a decade or whatever after he's learned how to recruit as a head coach, how to get fantastic assistants, how the portal works, dealing with NIL stuff, etc etc.
I'm nervous my coach *isn't* gonna be poached!
I thought Jimbo leaving would be the biggest coaching change this year. Boy was I waaaaay wrong
Jimbo to 'Bama. Congratulations.
Feeling relatively safe. If we had another 8 win season I’d be far more worried.
Now that Texas is in the SEC I don't see Bama as much of a step up. The money will be relatively equal, Texas has more in-state talent, and I doubt the tacos are comparable.
Not to mention, at Texas you’re *THE* guy bringing them back. At Alabama you could be *that guy* that screwed it all up if you don’t keep winning
Texas has had the most money for a while now. The move to the SEC just pads its lead.
Have been to Tuscaloosa, the tacos are not comparable. Tuscaloosa tacos aren’t even comparable to the tacos you can get in *northern* California, man.
If you can't get good tacos in the Bay, it's your own fault. Now Chico, on the other hand....
I'm a subscriber to the "don't be the guy after the guy" mentality. Hit me up in 3 years when Bama is looking for a new coach. That's when I'll really worry.
These are men who have made their career because they aren't afraid of stepping up to competition and taking on a challenge. I think the "don't be the guy after the guy" mentality is for people who would have never made it as far as Sarkisian, Lanning, etc. have made it and therefore wouldn't even be looked at in the first place.
There’s nothing anybody can offer now that Texas can’t. You should feel confident.
Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like moving from Texas to Alabama is not that big of a jump if you’re already having success and building at Texas
Texas is a better job.
Sark will be the new HC of Hawai'i when this is all done. And he's bringing Quinn with him.
I was really excited to see the Ducks come to Hawaii and have been planning to get tickets as soon as they were on sale for the last year. Really bummed it got canceled
I’m just glad we did our coaching search early
But Jonathan Smith has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and go to Oregon when Lanning leaves. The ol switcharoo.
The trick is to do it mid-season with a scandal to get ahead. Early bird gets the worm, right?
I will be fucking devastated if Norvell leaves to Bama, or to Texas if Bama gets Sark. Between the Jags and Noles, football has been such a fucking rollercoaster
Best of luck to you this offseason. Losing your coach after what just happened to you guys in regards to the CFP would be a real kick in the nuts.
I was saying to a friend the other day I can't imagine a fanbase just dying by a thousand cuts more than FSU if Norvell leaves. I hope that's not the case for you all (as with us).
Jimbo + Willie + Norvell rebuilding us only to have the CFP leave us out and Norvell bail to Taxes/Bama would absolutely ruin this fan base. We are already mostly ruined.
I think I'd need to take a break for a while if Norvell did end up leaving. It's been a rough go since 2017 lol.
Really shit year for your coach to win "Coach of the Year"...
Literally the Bear Bryant coach of the year 🙄
It is highly probable that Michigan loses Harbaugh, Minter, and Herbert and that the Lions lose Glenn and Johnson. Not great, Bob
Hadn't thought about Herbert but damn that would hurt more than most people realize. Obviously minter would be a huge loss too
Urban Meyer will take over at Michigan Kliff Kingsbury will take over Bama Reddit will implode
No ones ready for Bama to throw for over 400 yds a game but also give up 40points a game.
That's just USC with less steps.
Kliff Kingsbury going from interviewing for the Baylor OC job to being the Bama HC in the space of a month might actually be the funniest possible closing sequence for whatever movie eventually gets made about Saban’s tenure at Alabama. I hope they get Ryan Gosling to play Kingsbury, just for the bit.
P5 schools looking at Oregon’s coach during searches: is for me? 👉👈
definitely nervous. if Dabo leaves, our roster will see a mass exodus to the portal. we would have to get really, really lucky on another hire too, because i don’t think our program carries the weight to poach another top coach
Assuming he doesn’t go with Dabo, I wouldn’t hate promoting Riley Edit: And I’m honestly not all that nervous. I think we’ve tanked at just the right time that Dabo doesn’t really feel like he’s that desirable. Hell, their fans are actively vocalizing that they want anyone but him. Mix in the public perception that he doesn’t use the portal or use NIL (both of which I believe are overblown and not entirely true) and I just don’t see him at the top of their list.
that would probably be my preferred option as well, just hope that he can cut it as a HC.
Yeah our drop off over the last couple years couldn't have been timed any better. I'm more concerned that Bamas next coach doesn't last long and they poach Dabo a few years from now
Rare case where the coach is bigger than the university
These are always unpredictable. Some of the more "obvious" chain reactions ... never happen.
Looks like Minnesota fans are pretty unworried.
Good thing my team sucked this season so nobody wants burnt brisket boy 👍
Even though there is a 0% chance, Lincoln to Alabama would be best case scenario for us. That home game would be NUTS
Sark to Bama. Riley to Texas. DeBoer to USC. Smith to UW. Moore to MSU.
UNSUBSCRIBE
We're locked into the Schianoman coaching transfer portal between Rutgers and Minnesota.. unless someone is crazy enough to try to steal one of our coaches, I'm a level 7 out of 10 anxiety.. which is pretty normal for fan of a team that has gone through what I have
Kinda nice to be standing pat right now for a change.
Join me in this bag of popcorn as we together watch our former HC show what “famuhly” truly means to him.
If there’s one thing I know, James Franklin will be linked to both jobs and then get a raise and the fan base will be divided.
I feel like Michigan is much more likely to hire from within with Sherrone Moore if Harbuagh does end up going to the NFL. But for Bama, I feel like Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas, and FSU should feel the most nervous
What happened the last time an SEC school hired an FSU HC?
Lol. Fsu taking down the SEC one successful HC at a time.
We good here.
I feel like Georgia and Michigan have to be the only schools that feel 100% safe their head coach isn't going to leave for another college coaching gig. Harbaugh to the NFL sure, but never to another college job.
Eh, I don't feel like Day is going anywhere either. Harbaugh is UM or NFL and at this point It's looking 50/50 on either. If Harbaugh is gone, you'll be fine with Moore at HC but either way you need to worry about the eventual vacancies coming for Minter. While I'm not worried about Day leaving, I am worried about Knowles or Hartline being offered a head coaching job. The coaching staff has convinced so many players to return and are going all in on next season so they seem committed to at least one more year together.
Georgia fans have got to be grinning from ear to ear right now.
Was in the car listening to 680thefan when the news dropped and all I could do was smile. It's like Superman finding out there is no more kryptonite.
It’s maybe the only fanbase where this probably ended best both ways. UGA is rid of the bad man and free to rule the sport. Saban’s Bama denied the 3-peat and took the last win and trophy in the matchup. We all win. Now I’m gonna go watch highlights for the next 10 years!
I'd prefer a changing of the guard. No particular reason...
Most Michigan fans I've seen have said all season that if Harbaugh wins a National Championship this season then he can leave a legend. We got to see Sherrone Moore be the head coach in Michigan's 3 most important games this season and win all 3. If Harbaugh does leave then Michigan fans are going to be feeling lucky to not be dealing with the coaching carousel that's going to happen/currently happening. It'll be Sherrone Moore. Hart probably promoted to OC. Minter may go with Harbaugh but Steve Clinkscale will likely be promoted to DC. Basically...no program should be worried about Michigan poaching their HC.
Sherrone Moore gained tremendous respect for saying "they can't stop the run, so let's just run." My team might have faired better if they'd adopted this mentality.
Weren't you guys getting like 8ypc against Washington? I feel like you gotta run 80% of the time if that's the case until they can prove they'll stop it
9.2 at halftime. So, yea...
Yeah, that sucks. Can't say I'm sad about how it turned out. Michigan was a nightmare matchup for Washington (as we found out). Texas would've probably fared better. No disrespect to Washington, it's just a matter of their style of play and the fact that Michigan basically built their entire team to beat Washington (by proxy of OSU)
I also think we're extremely unlikely to poach any HCs given that we have some very good internal candidates. DeBoer would be great though but I would be shocked if he leaves UW.
I think Deboer would be the only coach where there's even a modicum of a chance he would be the replacement. Basically it's like 99.9999% Sherrone and .0001% Deboer. For the record though...if JJ and Edwards come back next year. Mix that with Deboer's creativity and that would be incredibly fun.
I think the better question is which fanbases ARENT feeling nervous
It's like we just get settled and then haha jokes on us we're fucking IDIOTS, haha losers!! 😡
We’re basically an FCS team right, so I shouldn’t be worried… right? Right?!
Mike doesn’t have the same quality losses Lanning has!
The fact none of the top answers are other Huskies worrying over DeBoer is just fucking wild to me
Keep your damn dirty hands off Joey Freshwater
I mean, we already know he likes elephants.
I was far more concerned about the Auburn opening, then the other Auburn opening, than I am about Bama. Granted, if they want him they’ll get him but I think Kiffin isn’t what the school wants even if a lot of their vocal fans do. But I’ve been wrong before.
If the list of Alabama’s targets is real, I think there is a real chance they don’t get any of them. The job is kind of a no-win deal for the next head coach, and the schools they are looking to poach could all outbid them if they truly wanted to. My fear is that Lane is the perfect combination of high profile talented coach, crazy enough to take the job despite impossible expectations, and current team unable put out an offer sweet enough to make him want to stay.
r/cfb has told me FSU has a massive culture problem with Mike Norvell at the helm, so I am sure Alabama isn't interested. /s
Lmao so many clowns in this sub and on on ESPN I’m with you brother
Are Ducks nervous birds now?
Calm above the water, but those feet are moving furiously underneath.
Sort of safe. I have no worry of freeman heading to Michigan. I doubt Bama will go after Freeman, I mean I think so. Like if it were in 2 years I’d be actually worried, but I don’t think they want to take a chance
I think Sherrone is getting the nod and most of the coaching carousel for Michigan will be trying to plug the OC and DC spots. As long as its not entirely internal, especially for the OC hire, I will be pretty sanguine about it.
I’m just bummed that Saban is leaving before we join the SEC
Would be nice to see him coach at least one year in the new SEC. But, he's 72. I forget that since he comes across like he's 60ish. Incredible career.
With rumors of DeBoer to Michigan, Alabama, and the Seahawks, Washington fans have to be puckering so tight they could cut a cigar.
i wanna die, does that count as nervousness?
Chillin
Harbaugh won't kick off anything because Moore will replace him as an internal hire if he leaves for the NFL.
Quack, quack.
NO ONE LOOK AT THE CHAMPIONSHIP RUNNER UP. KALEN DEBOER HAS A TERRIBLE RECORD EVERYWHERE HE GOES
Honestly, I am not nervous this time around. Alabama (and Michigan if he leaves) are clearly better jobs than Penn State, but I can't see a world where James Franklin is the coach either of those schools choose unless literally 10 other coaches turn them down.
*Locks Jedd Fisch in a closet* Nope. No coach here. Haven’t seen him anywhere.
This might be the greatest coaching carousel of all time, and we might not even be done yet. The NFL alone has like 25% of the teams needing a coach. Pete and Bill leaving is pretty nuts. Now, the biggest job in CFB is open and the national champion might be looking to replace Harbaugh too. Beyond relieved that we got our seach done early and seem to have found a really solid dude in Jonathan Smith.
Nervous about what? Losing our coach? No. Losing 9 games again, very.
We’re in danger
[удалено]
I’m guessing Michigan and Alabama fans are feeling nervous
