So if Freshwater is going to Auburn, any news on rumors for his replacement at Ole Miss ??

My Ole Miss buddy said this (and yes I made his picture Leach).

I told him Gundy isn't going anywhere, Campbell is a bum. I'd be surprised if Fickell, Aranda or Rhule take it and fully expect him to end up with Hugh Freeze again.

Saw an ESPN segment from a few days ago where they were speculating on Barkley's claim regarding Deion going to an SEC school and the two they discussed were aggy and Miss St.  Aggy because jumbo seems most likely to get fired and Miss St because of the Mississippi angle and also some talk of Leach being gone if he drops a 3rd egg bowl.

Ongoing interviews, top targets emerging in Georgia Tech coaching search

Interim Brent Key, other sitting head coaches in mix at Tech

JOHN BRICE      3 HOURS AGO

Like Nebraska, Georgia Tech made a coaching change inside the first month of the college football season.  And similar to the Cornhuskers, Tech is winding near the end of its search.

First, the Atlanta program had to find a new leader for its entire athletics department – which it did in landing J Batt from a senior-level position at the University of Alabama.

Batt was hired in mid-October, approximately three weeks after the Yellow Jackets parted ways with Geoff Collins atop the football program.

Brent Key, a former Georgia Tech offensive lineman and Birmingham, Alabama, native, has made himself a legit contender for the full-time post after guiding Tech down the season’s final two months.

The Yellow Jackets under Key have won four games, including upsets of ranked Pittsburgh and North Carolina squads. It’s an unlikely scenario to think the Yellow Jackets – despite being on their fourth quarterback of the season – can yet again generate enough offense with well-regarded first-year offensive coordinator Chip Long to topple defending College Football Playoff champion and top-ranked Georgia this weekend.

Nonetheless, Key has stamped himself firmly in the mix for the full-time post, he has the unyielding support of beloved former Tech head coach George O’Leary, multiple sources tell FootballScoop, and Key met this week directly with Batt for his formal interview for the position, per sources briefed on the process.

Additionally, FootballScoop has been told that Batt conducted a formal interview this week with Coastal Carolina head coach Jamey Chadwell, whose work atop the Coastal Carolina program has dramatically elevated that program’s profile into the national conversation.

Chadwell also has deep connections in the South; he’s a Tennessee native whose coaching career has featured considerable work in the region.

Tulane’s Willie Fritz similarly has deep, deep Georgia ties and has engineered a renaissance year atop the Tulane program, which is contending for the American Athletic Conference title. Sources have indicated to FootballScoop that Fritz likewise is viewed as a serious candidate for the Tech post.

Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien logged several years at Tech as an assistant coach, including under O’Leary, and O’Brien has proved a successful head coach at both Penn State and in the NFL with the Houston Texans. He has obviously familiarity with Batt from their shared time together at Alabama, and sources indicated Nick Saban also has strongly endorsed O’Brien.

Georgia’s Dell McGee was linked with the job earlier, and sources indicated McGee had interest in the Tech post, but thus far sources have not indicated significant traction for McGee.

As with all of these current Football Bowls Subdivision openings, timing is of the essence. Not only does the regular season conclude this weekend, but the NCAA Transfer Portal windows and the early signing period – the third Wednesday in December, so Dec. 21 this year – are both encroaching on the calendar.

Ctj said awhile back that Colorado is hiring Herman. Is that still happening? You would think if so they would’ve already announced since he’s not coaching anywhere.
WVU thinks they're getting him now. Would be interesting seeing Sark coach against Hermie next year

 No matter the result, Surly would be on fire for a week before and after that game. Make this happen.

Nebraska should take a look at Ohio’s Tim Albin.

Played and coached at Northwestern Oklahoma State. Won an NAIA National Championship there in 1999. Coached under Frank Solich at Nebraska. Wasn’t retained when Solich was fired, coached at NDSU for a year before joining Solich in Athens. Took over as head coach when Frank retired, went 3-9 last year and 9-3 this year winning a division title. That’s a pretty big turnaround.

He may not be a big splashy hire but he’s got history at Nebraska and a record of success. Maybe a Solich disciple isn’t what they’re looking for but they’ve proven they can do worse.

I don’t know how accurate this is but, at dinner last night the brother of our host, a former WVU captain, said he thinks Brown is going to get another year.

West Virginia fans blast Neal Brown, call for ouster after latest loss

Keith Farner | 6 days ago

Neal Brown is in big-time struggle mode at West Virginia, and not even changing quarterbacks could change the fortunes of the Mountaineers.

Brown benched JT Daniels in favor of Garrett Greene, but WVU still fell to Kansas State on Saturday, 48-31.

West Virginia (4-7, 2-6) failed to become bowl eligible for the second time under Brown and for only the fourth time since 2000.

It could be the final home game for Brown, who has a 21-25 record with 4 years remaining on his contract. It’s been a season of turnover already as Athletics Director Shane Lyons was fired last week.

Here’s the reaction:

He was in no way saying that as support for Brown. He just thought, after talking with some of the people he regularly talks with at games, that Brown would get another year. Of course dude could get fired tomorrow night.

Nice comeback by CORN if true.  Rumors were out there that Rhule walked away from negotiations so CORN must have really stepped up the compensation offer...  

ESPN GameDay saying Rhule to CORN is a done deal.  Said Trev Albert did go back to Rhule after negotiations initially stumbled.
