2023-2024 College Football Coaches Hired/Fired Thread

[MaxyJR1]

True, but if he won’t make that “minor” change, what are the odds he’s gonna make any other change???

He’s fired DC and OC before.

Saw that coming, needed an Air Raid OC. Team wasn't built for a pro-style offense. Lincoln Riley needs to call this guy to run his defense.

Hard to understand Boise State. Avalon was the conference coach of the year last year. He bleeds “Boise Blue”. Must be some off the field issue.

they're 5-5 this year and 22-14 in his tenure after a prior coach (Harsin) never lost more than 4 games. Boise had lost 5 games once since 1998 prior to his tenure starting (the year Chris Petersen moved on). That team has been incredibly consistent. They aren't going to tolerate the step back

Ben is going to be hiring his 6th oC since /014 and is 4-16 vs. OSU/ Michigan.

I wonder how short his leash is? His buyout is apparently $64M.

Penn State fires OC. That’s two 8-2 B1G teams firing their OC.

It’s a different college football world out there.

They have one the worst Is in the P5 world- their QB is a five star - why would he stick around for this garbage?

My daughter is a frosh there. Saw a game on a visit earlier this year and got the impression that you describe. This dude was not impressing the fan base.

Chryst or Leonhard going to NW and then beating Wisconsin would give me a little chuckle

PJ isn’t that hot a commodity.

PJ isn’t that hot a commodity.

That’s why he would be a good hire of a mediocre UCLA program that has a lot of NIL money.

I wonder if they would offer Harsin the job again?? Where is Harsin btw????

They can do a lot better than PJ. PJ would crawl there for that job though

I predict they do worse than PJ
We will see

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

This is the right move by NW

 

[mngg11]

Is Yurcich any good? Could he work out here?

 

[2nd Degree Gopher]

This is the right move by NW

It will be interesting to see what happens with the rest of the staff. I recall that it was initially thought that the other assistant coaches would be purged after the season since they were mostly a part of Fitz's "tainted" staff. Wonder if that's still in the works?

Kellen Moore I think is the sleeper pick

 

[goldengophers]

Kellen Moore I think is the sleeper pick

Moore doesn't want college apparently, could b interim HC of LAC in a week.

 

[Panthadad2]

Rumors.

 

[Catechol]

Rumors.

Not that long ago that Nebraska would be the job a coach would leave A&M for, not the other way ‘round.

 

[Sparlimb]

Rumors.

That would be a crazy move and would doom Nebraska even further. They are quickly becoming a MN. Glorious past with a long streak of terrible.

You may need to add Hugh Freeze to the fired list.

 

[U2Gopher]

You may need to add Hugh Freeze to the fired list.

While that fan base May feel that way right now, I don’t know that they have the dollars to pay off another coach.
