MSTSatchmo Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 That came out of nowhere. Oklahoma is a perineal Top 10 team and USC hasn’t been relevant for years. Maybe he was not interested in being part of the SEC. Napier sure isn’t scared of the competition. He has been named Florida’s new coach.

MSTSatchmo Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 The first name mentioned for Oklahoma has been Kingsbury. With the success he’s had in the NFL so far, I don’t see him leaving Arizona. Oklahoma is one of the few jobs I though Kiffin maybe would be interested in.

rebmus Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 LSU still looking, and now Oklahoma is looking. Duke fired Cut today. I can see Duke maybe going after an SEC OC/DC like Lebby/Arnett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Don’t know if he’s interested but if I was Duke I would try to hire Dan Mullen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebmus Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Good call 83, I didn't think of that. It will be interesting to see what offers Dan gets in this cycle, he'll certainly land somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSTSatchmo Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Louisiana maybe? He and Napier just swap jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Dan will get a better offer than Louisiana, and also Duke HC for that matter. I'm all for Dan landing as Louisiana's HC and start his mess calling LSU "The school down South." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though, I don’t think other SEC programs will lose sleep over that hire. Miles and Orgeron won Nattys at LSU, and Kelly is definitely better than both of those. At the same time, Kelly has been around a WHILE (isn't it 12 years?) leading Notre Dame and still hasn't won a Natty with those resources. It's a solid hire, but not a splash hire. It will be interesting how well he does at LSU as he faces a MUCH harder schedule than he did at Notre Dame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSTSatchmo Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 ND has always been a pretender since he has been there, not a contender. You make a great pint about Orgeron and Miles winning at LSU though. I would think Kelly has had just as much talent at ND though and an easier path to the playoffs. Now ND is a school I could see Fickell at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSTSatchmo Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 I just read Saban to ND. I know it’s 99.99999% not happening, but wouldn’t that be insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Saban is Catholic. It sounds absurd but it is possibly the only place he would leave Bama for. However, He is 70 years old so I doubt that it happens. I suspect he retires in the next couple of years from Bama, possibly after winning a NC.

I don't see it, but I sure wouldn't rule it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Saban leaves Alabama for another job... the rest, I agree. He's 70 and has a well oiled machine going with zero chance of getting fired. I also agree Saban has 2-3 years left before retiring, 5 tops. This leads into my opinion that Kiffin stays at Ole Miss for a few more years and takes the Bama job when Saban retires.

MSTSatchmo Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Kiffin has been sucking up to Saban a lot lately. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebmus Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) The Kelly to LSU rumor is $15 million per year. Good grief, coaches are about to get PAID and agents like Sexton are smiling all the way to the bank.

Dawg83 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I actually think pretty highly of Kelly. I know his teams have gotten waxed in the Playoff but I think he has the same championship ceiling that most coaches would have at LSU while also having a higher floor than what they’ve had in recent years. He may not be Saban but he is an upgrade from Orgeron and Miles. I would be pretty shocked if Matt Campbell or Luke Fickell doesn’t end up at Notre Dame. This is supposedly the kind of job those two have been waiting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
