Brian Kelly has a near-Jimbo level buyout, like $50mm, so I don't think that happens. Michigan, USC, TCU are probably safe too.

Solid chance Aranda is out at Baylor. He was on the bubble last year so another bad year probably gets him canned.

Auburn is an interesting one. I thought Freeze would do well there but hasn't happened.

Stanford currently has an "interim" head coach Frank Reich so I assume they look for a permanent one. He isn't exactly crushing it anyway.

On the other side - Fran Brown is going to be a popular name. He claimed he was at Syracuse for life when hired but we'll see...

Lastly - can Sark hire Pittman as an analyst to help with the OL? Please?

I was not a believer in Freeze. The dude was a classic dirtbag SEC idiot who cheated his ass off and still managed to lose stupid games every year, except for one great season at Liberty. Never put teams that were amazingly coached on the field. Without dropping bags and prostitutes he has no competitive edge. 

The platonic ideal of a failed Auburn corch TBH.

Likely moving up somewhere:

 

Kinne

Traylor

Golesh

Sumrall

Key

Silverfield

Drinkwitz? (easy ass schedule)

Matt Campbell?

Eric Morris?

Fisch?

Solid list. Cignetti and Fran Brown will get a lot of calls. Elko might too but he'll get a Jimbo-ish contract to stay. Fisch is in a good spot so I don't see him leaving.

Cignetti is old, but if that doesn’t bother you he’s top of my list if I’m a blue blood and ok with a 5 year type hire.

I can’t call any of these big names other than Florida. UCLA sort of. 
 

IMO, mid-tier P5 programs have become a lot less attractive absent some super compelling NIL circumstances like Tech.  You cannot build a roster, you have to really beat the portal bushes and hope it works out. Jobs like the two OSUs, Northwestern, Arkie are likely career killers. 

Eh, look at GaTech, Vandy, Indiana, and Illinois all being good. Duke has pretty excellent NIL money, too. Depends on the midmajor. Feels like Northwestern could really prosper once the new stadium is done with their alumni base.

Is Arkansas even an attractive position anymore? Feel like they’ve made their decision that football is third. I wonder if Matt Campbell would take that job. 

Their AD publicly said their football organizational setup isn't national championship caliber. They need a guy that can really rally the boosters and has some CEO to him.

I think the AD said that to wake up a lot of their big money folks to the fact that they’re gonna have to step up in a way they have not previously - and build a new NIL structure.

Moore at Michigan is in over his head. He has the same clueless look on the sidelines as Strong did at Texas.

Franklin is not going to get fired. He doesn’t lose enough. Now, maybe next year if he loses a lot of games like that covid year, I think. That could be their excuse.

Maybe Riley will get canned but idk, isn’t his buyout big?

And Clemson? They should.

Auburn should, freeze ain’t it but I also feel like he’s barely been there. I bet they let him stay this year, kinda like Napier last year, knowing good and well they will have to fire him next year.

Everyone loves a redemption story, especially when the redeemed is  high-class, high-integrity individual.

Of course, none of that applies to Petrino.  They'd have been better off promoting another, more junior, staffer.

We should replace flood with him for OL coach.

Rumors are Riley’s buyout is approaching 9 figures, plus he has perks like housing, vehicles, and private plane hours. USC could definitely swing it, but they won’t until they have an upgrade in place. 
 

I hate to disappoint Greenspoint, but I think most programs are closer to LSU than USC. They simply can’t afford massive buyouts with House looming. I think most will handle it like piggy. Wait until the buyout becomes manageable and pull the trigger.

I think the coaching market is due for a reset. Sexton has leverage on the big boys because they’ll pay whatever it costs to be good at football. But the bottom half of P4 is going to stop giving out contracts with ridiculously high buyouts.

Agreed.  Aside from a higher salary, which obviously isn't nothing, what does Florida have to offer Kiffin that he doesn't already have at Ole Miss?

Lame fans.

That's basically it and Arkansas isn't serious about football in regards to NIL.  Their money goes to basketball and baseball and for some reason, their fans still see themselves as a "football school."

Unless they step up their NIL game, that's a complete dead end job.  Brutal schedules, no instate talent, hit or miss fan base, etc.

Salaries and buyouts have to come down.  The money is better spent on players now.

Haven't those always been the jobs where coaches prove themselves and move up the ladder?

I think it’s around 80-90 million now

Yes, but I think that dynamic is changing. The proven formula: identify diamonds in the rough, build a culture, make waves with a few upper-classmen heavy teams that bought into your system— is over. Underrecruited breakout players are not staying around after their breakout year at OSU to get a great senior year in the system. 
 

Hotshots are better off staying as well paid coordinators and then parachuting into a great job where they hit the ground running with the roster, NIL, and portal.

Kentucky will be 0-8 in the conference and that should get Mark Stoops fired but he has a huge buyout so Kentucky might give up trying to field a competitive football team. When Texas plays Kentucky our quarterback will have more turnovers than completions. Drinking is popular in Kentucky because of the football program.
