Could discovery be involved in a case like this? Seems kinda “be careful who you wish for “

Discovery would absolutely be involved in any lawsuit that gets beyond a motion to dismiss.

Wait... he would turn down a decent P4 job hoping to land an NFL HC gig?
Posted by uofi1998
|
He’s going to be an NFL HC within 5 years*
Posted by illini21
|
yes? I mean being in the NFL is so much better than ncaa coaching. plus even if he fails or doesn't
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I mean, I get all of that... but he's not even an NFL coordinator yet...
Posted by uofi1998
|
He interviewed for OC jobs last offseason so he’ll be one soon
Posted by snipes824
|
Good flip point. Guaranteeing $40m from the people of ia for 4 years of service and then moving
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Is Iowa State the job to give up the track he’s on?
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
All salient points... most guys don't get the option to get their first HC gig at a P4 school at all
Posted by uofi1998
|
I’m sure he’ll talk to McVay
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
We can ruin him here in AZ...
Posted by uofi1998
|
didn't he turn down the OC job at Jacksonville?*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Yeah because McVay gave him a title bump and salary bump to keep him*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider

He’s almost certainly going to get a NFL OC job this offseason

Hasn't Penn State taken enough from ISU already?

Only positive I can think of is we’d finally be done with those dumb all black uniforms.*

Rumors PSU now focusing on Matt Campbell of Iowa State*

Should’ve been the guy from jump*
Posted by bjl63

Eh I dunno, Penn State should have been able to do better. Apparently they can’t, but they should.
Posted by OB25
|
The sexy name isn’t always the best one. I think Campbell is a perfect fit*
Posted by bjl63
|
Yep, Campbell is a very good coach. He has done well with less resources than he'd have at PSU*
Posted by MtHoodIllini

Maybe they got turned down by Campbell the first time, and now starting over on the list? Who knows*

Hey DiamondDazzle! Don't Panic!

Yeah I don’t think he’s leaving.*

Franklin did a great job. They gave themselves the death penalty*

It's definitely a be careful what you wish for situation, but the guy was 4-21 against top 10 teams
Posted by Blazer All that said, if you're going to make a move, have a plan.

Certainly don't completely fuck around a guy who is repped by the most powerful agency in the sport*
Posted by uofi1998

Yep - it wasn’t a mere coincidence that Franklin showed up on College Gameday after getting fired *
Posted by Jersey
|
See I just don’t get this. They were almost in the Natty last year!
Posted by illini21
|
Maybe in the 12 team playoff era
Posted by Blazer
|
and then one of their top targets was....Matt Rhule
Posted by illini21
|
Glad he stayed at Nebby. Keeps them irrelevant.*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
Fine. Then add Oregon or Washington or USC or Indiana or whatever other B1G
Posted by Blazer
|
Agreed. The OSU/Michigan record gets cited a lot but they're both just better programs than PSU is
Posted by UIHuskie
|
there's a flaw in the "they're not who they think they are" arguments
Posted by illiniranger
|
Agreed--and I would argue that Penn State is in fact who they think they are
Posted by Blazer
|
You've raised an interesting point, and therefore I Googled "can both mean more than two?"
Posted by complainant
|
Thank you for your pedantry*

That's a little disingenuous. They won a national championship in 1997.

this is almost exactly the same case some people are making against BU*

it's a weird hire because guys like him feel so BYU and utah coded

A better opportunity to make the CFP*

Maybe he's just angling for a pay raise. Or maybe he's not as Mormon as he assured them he was.

I don't disagree but your criticisms could all be leveled against hiring a stud OC or retread.

Agree on Mullen*

Especially if paired with a good GM.

Izzo and Fitzy on the same campus would break the record for collective smugness*
Posted by GMAW

Wow, quite the choice to jump into this year's carousel *
Posted by jdl
|
Feels like a "we've already got Fitzy lined up" move.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Consider how much the college football landscape has changed since Fitzee last coached.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Have seen Fitzee rumors out there on that one*
Posted by OB25
|
I would love that. He will not talk Hanwitz out of retirement*

Arkansas hires Memphis coach (Silverfield). Really weak hire on paper, he’s done nothing at Memphis*

Poldark's college football coaching carousel RUMOR
Posted by Poldark "you should never watch Illinois football again"

From a recruiting perspective, given the relative stability of our staff, should be able to poach

So is he officially a Hoe (sic) yet?*

Golesh to Auburn, per Thamel*
Posted by AintHatin
|
That feels like a bad fit. Not quite as bad as Bryan Harsin but close*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Pete Thamel reporting Sumrall will make decision on Sunday between Tulane and open SEC jobs
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
And Sumrall coaching conference championship & potentially CFP. Don't like that.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Sumrall to Florida for ~$7.5MM a year. Honestly surprised it's not higher.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Sounds like it’ll be Florida*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Florida fans are not happy to put it lightly*

JMO but if I was Sumrall
Posted by Poldark EDIT: DE-MC met some Troy fans last year after they lost at Kansas State and raved about how he cleaned up the mess left behind by the prior coach. back to microbrews in Mendoza, Argentina. Beat Northwestern. "you should never watch Illinois football again"
|
I’m expecting Auburn*

if DJ Durkin wins today?

Kiffin's saga reminds me of Self's here except Self is a much better coach. Lane's just a bigger
Posted by illini222
|
Kiffin is "torn" too???
Posted by osklister
|
I mean Kiffin is a great coach*
Posted by illini21
|
I know his QB got hurt, but another sparkling 7-5 season for the great Matt Rhule*
Posted by OB25
|
But somehow the trend is still positive *
Posted by jdl
|
If that’s what they want to tell themselves to make them feel better
Posted by Mrap24
|
They're trying hard to schedule 3 non con wins with Ohio, Bowling Green and North Dakota to help set
Posted by illini222
|
They'd schedule the Little Sisters of the Poor if they could get away with it.

For some reason, I thought the big ten had a rule you had to schedule 1 P4

Question: assuming Henry is fired, when is the by-the-book time for that to happen? *
Posted by meanjeans

They may wait until after signing day
Posted by jdl

Sunday*

Hopefully not halftime of the game tomorrow*

Penn State os looking pretty dumb right now.*

Lea extended at Vanderbilt
Posted by biclops
|
Man, I thought this guy would be poached for sure.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Lots of dudes seem to be sticking where they are at this year *
Posted by biclops
|
They are all smartly getting raises before the carousel hits
Posted by jdl
|
Gotta wonder if there's a "buyout" protection that goes down significantly after next season?
Posted by osklister
|
Looks like Drinkwitz is staying in MO

All of that to lose to every component team they play*
Posted by Mrap24

Seems like they somehow have a super easy schedule (SEC standards) every single year

Marshall Faulk to Southern *

Shout out to the women of Baton Rouge*

rumor of Golesh going to Arkansas
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
That’s great for him but what an uninspiring hire.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Wait until you see what some of these later hires are. Way too few good candidates for # of openings
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I mean I'm sure they could probably get somebody on the level of Lunney or something*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Last time they hired a coach, they got a guy coming off back to back Sun Belt Championships.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Mora to Colorado St*
Posted by Mrap24
|
With all these openings, I’m surprised he couldn’t do better*
Posted by OB25

Multiple outlets reporting North Texas coach Eric Morris to Okie St.
Posted by Carl Spackler You can hem and haw about athletes getting paid or transferring, this is still the worst part of college football. North Texas players are vying for a conference championship and spot in the CFP and have to now deal with this.

Have to assume Mestemaker will follow*

Mentos: the Mestemaker!*

Interim head coach in Berkeley is guy who got fired by Wazzou for refusing to get COVID shot*
Posted by OB25

He rejected the COVID vax but decided to move to the heart of wokeness?*

Lots of granola types are anti-vax. See, e.g., RFK, Jr.*

Is eating roadkill "granola"? Lol*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
He started down this path by being a chemophobic environmentalist *
Posted by ATL
|
True, but those normally aren't fooseball coaches.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
And he looks like all the Sorry Antivaxxers whose obesity & blood pressure killed them as a result.*
Posted by complainant
|
Now that would be HOT*
Posted by illini21
|
And maybe he could bring his qb with him*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
my SOURCES say he could be defensive coordinator in Dallas*
