I don't see Frost being a culture fit with Saban. Frost has a history of throwing players/coaches under the bus, making tons of excuses, and just having no accountability whatsoever. Pretty much the opposite of Saban. I could see him taking an offensive coaching position at a another blue blood...

That would probably be the best position for him if he's wanting to coach next year. I'm guessing at this point in the year there won't be many high level coordinator positions opening up, probably not any G5 or lower-level P5 head coaching positions opening up, and he has no NFL ties. It's...

Any chance we are looking to have Co-OC's? Petersen appears to be a guy who has reached his coaching ceiling. He has been coaching for 30 years and for the last 20 years he has been at essentially the same level. I just don't see how you can look at his resume and justify paying him $800k+. To...

And what had Ed O done lately to get the LSU job. What had Mack Brown done lately before he was hired at UNC? Heck Paul Chryst was a .500 coach at Pitt before he was hired at Wisconsin. Bielema has had success in this league before. I am not saying he is going to be in the company of the...

Bielema has the most Big Ten titles of all the active coach in the conference right now with three. Second most titles after him is a tie between Ferentz and Ryan Day who both have two. Ferentz hasn't won one since 2004. I think this hire probably made a lot of coaches nervous.

I think their could be an argument made in a typical year where there is more coaching turnover Illinois may not be able to hire a coach like Bielema or there would at least be a lot more competition. This year I believe we are seeing a lot of schools hold onto coaches that they would typically...

Can someone post an article or link to a credible source that provides some actual proof to Bielema's so called bad behavior or questionable character? The only things I have seen posted are rumors, tweets, posts from other message boards, and stuff from want to be bloggers. The guy has been a...

Gus just got fired from an SEC school where he never had a losing record in 8 years and coached in a national championship. There isn't another guy out there who has a resume like that.The guy is going to have options and if he doesn't like them then I wouldn't be surprised if we see him sitting...

I believe we are seeing big programs make financial decisions regarding their retaining of head coaches where in a normal year they would be making football decisions. I'm guessing in a typical year we would be seeing more firings at Nebraska, Michigan, Texas, Virginia Tech, and Tennessee. Most...

I have seen his name a few times, but I am surprised their isn't as much talk about Tom Manning-offensive coordinator at Iowa State. It appears to me that he checks just as many boxes than a lot of other names mentioned. His offensive rankings are are comparable to both Marcus Freeman's and...

David Gibbs out of Texas Tech became available after Kingsbury was fired. Has spent a lot of time between the NFL and the college game. Has had stops as a d-coordinator at Texas Tech, Houston, Auburn, and Minnesota. Haven't looked up his defensive stats at Tech, but did do some digging and was...
