Let's Talk Coaching Carrousel...




Looks like more teams are going to have transition classes for Class of 22 croots. Sorry, let's make that more high profile schools. What we have so far:

Lincoln Riley - OU to USCw - could be dangerous, offensive mind in a major hotbed of skills talent

Sonny Dykes - SMU to TCU (to OU?) - AAC to Big XII for Dykes either way - an "ok" hire for the Frogs, I'd say less than "ok" for the land thieves

Billy Napier - Louisiana to UF - if Strickland is serious about stability, this is the hire - if he's serious about challenging UGa and Bama, doubtful

Josh Heupel - Tennessee to OU - he'd be going home again, not that the fans in Knoxville would miss him, not that they know any better

Brent Venable - Clemson to OU - we'd love this as Noles, 2 of the 3 stud assistants for Dabo in 3 years bailing - OU could afford to pay Venable what it'd take to leave Clemson and he knows the environment

David Cutcliffe - out at Duke - not sure there's real implications here as it feels he lead Duke to what should be considered success there - given his age, I doubt we see him linked to any head coaching gigs, but QB Coach/OC at a P5 school may be a logical step coming up

Brian Kelly - ND to LSU - I've got nothing here other than MAYBE a shot at a CFP, though you've gotta think his antics won't last long with LA kids/families... does Marcus Freeman simply get promoted or does Fickell come over and Freeman take his place at Cincy?

Brent Pry - PSU DC to Virginia Tech HC - Broyles Award finalist, was a GA under Bud Foster in the mid-90s, had been with James Franklin for a while at Vandy and PSU - feels underwhelming

Tony Eliot - Clemson to Duke - Duke officials in SC this weekend to meet with Dabo's OC - PLEASE let this happen

Mario Cristobal - Oregon to Miami (FL) - rumor of $9m/year plus buyout of $8m to Oregon and $7m to Manny to leave - could be less than ideal news for 305 recruiting for us

Anything else y'all got, here's the space.
