IMO it takes the big P5 schools banding together to make a change. Pushing back against the Sexton’s out there. If all of them said nah we ain’t doing this shit anymore. 4 years to show all the bench marks for improvements however that looks and make contracts incentive based. Make the CCG and so on. The expectation by year four is you should be competing for a conference title. Given all the party in the league with the portal and eventual clamping down on the NiL stuff to a degree four years isn’t a big ask. Look at Cignetti. It can be done. Contracts with incentives to me are the only way. Renewal on a yearly basis. Everything is out in the open and unless for cause firings mid season each contract is evaluated at the end of the season. Idk it seems logical to me. 
 

cue 19,000 of you quoting this post and telling me how dumb it is. lol. 😂 

 

Honestly would like @closetojumping thoughts on the out of control contracts and what is a better solution, many of these schools just flushed about a combined $100,000,000 to pay coaches to fuck off. Sorry for summoning you CTJ—but you have ideas about this topic I am sure. 🤘🏼 

The biggest change needed is the guaranteed money scam.  Schools should say yep, your money is guaranteed unless you are fired for cause... losing football games is a cause.

You done fucked up there.

Coaching search firms are about as useful as a bunch of new-hire McKinsey Consultants coming into your company HQ and telling you how to "improve efficiencies".

Eh, the main purpose of search firms is to get around FOIA.  They don't tell anyone who to hire; they mainly run the mechanics of the search (collecting applications, contacting Jimmy Sexton, calling references, etc.)

So why pay them a "ton of money" to do clerical work?

Because universities consider it to be very valuable to not have to comply with FOIA requests when hiring coaches.

Oh I get why they use firms to dodge the FOIA stuff, just wondering why it costs "tons of money".  Maybe they should let ChatGPT do it, couldn't be any worse than 90% of coaching hires.

Stuff costs what people are willing to pay.  Even college football coaches.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- College football coach John Beam, who was featured in the Netflix series "Last Chance U," has died after being shot on campus, the Oakland Police Department said Friday, and a suspect has been arrested.

Oakland Police Chief Floyd Mitchell announced the coach's death Friday, one day after the shooting. Few other details were available. It was the second shooting at a school in Oakland in two days.

Mayor Barbara Lee described Beam as a "giant" and a mentor, educator and lifeline for young people.

"For over 40 years, he has shaped leaders on and off the field, and our community is shaken alongside his family," Lee said.

The search firms do a lot of research identifying candidates that aren't on the obvious list. Sure the AD can pick up the phone and call all the people that make the obvious candidate list that every outlet publishes but they're not going to pour through the list of every coordinator and every lower division head coach. That's my take on their obvious value.
