They could do worse....he is certainly better than Ruhle. And I can't believe Diaz is being discussed as a candidate - he is a clown

Potentially crazy take: if Iowa were to lose and be headed towards a 7-5 season, would Ferentz start feeling the pressure to retire?
Not a crazy take at all. I don’t know about him feeling pressure but there would certainly be a sizable portion of their fan base ready to move on.
I feel like the appropriate thing would be to fire Fickell after we stomp them at Camp Randall. It’s closer to the end of the season and we could turn it into an Illinois tradition - every few years as their coach is losing leadership’s confidence, Illinois rolls into town, pounds the badgers at their house, and their Coach gets fired right after.
Mark Stoops should be fired immediately. Stupid play calling at the goal line. Just stupid.

What happened to his SC team? They’ve totally imploded.
You'd think the end is not as far for Norvell if they lose tonight. But a massive buyout.
Biggest issue is the Offensive Line..has been terrible for a few years and has not improved. Has a new OC (first game was against us actually in the Bowl).. and it has not meshed well. My personal opinion - Beamer is just not ready for a big time SEC program. Each year that he's had success, he's turned it around at some point of the season, but there was also some constant losses in a row mixed in and getting hot at the right time. I get it- it's college football, but it seems to be a pattern at this point. SC took a gamble on someone with no HC or coordinator experience (outside of Special Teams) in hopes of glorifying the Spurrier years with a top recruiter with a HOF Coach father. With the new AD at South Carolina, I would imagine a 4-8 or 5-7 season won't cut it if he thinks he can go out and get his guy. If VA Tech wants Beamer and the money is right, a reset and fresh contract might be best for both parties. His buyout is around $5 mil I believe. But if SC fires him, it's around $25 mil. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Mike Shula and a lot of injuries on the O-Line. The defense is good enough to win games, but Shula as OC is a crime against the game. SC is a very tough job; he would be smart to jump to Va Tech if he has the chance
I think it is more likely that they finish 9-3 - the Oregon game is the only one they shouldn't win
9-3 is their ceiling. They are underdogs at USC and a pickem at Nebraska.
yea, it took a win finally for the AD to find a donor to fund the buyout ?
This is going to be a WILD carousel.
Florida, Arkansas, UCLA, PSU, VT, Ok St, Stanford so far in the P4.
Auburn, FSU, Wisconsin coaches all on scorching hot seats just off the top of my head.
Sure there will be some more if certain teams lose too many games the rest of the season.

Florida's buyout of Napier is $21 million, 1/2 of which is due within 30 days. The rest is spread out over 3 annual installments, starting next summer.
Once they hire Napier's replacement, it will be second time in 7 years they'll be playing 3 head coaches. In 2018, they were paying Muschamp, McElwain, and Mullen.

Could not be more glad that we aren't involved in this because it's looking like more than a few major fanbases won't be too happy with the results.
