would have to be the right situation. Wife likes how much he's home with the current set up.
Was he on the sidelines this weekend? I swear I saw him.
You probably saw Ben Miller. They look pretty similar from a distance.

I would say its " more often the players" , than the scheme
but saying that , I would add that you cant rely on rankings out of high school for much. they are often way over skewed in the wrong direction.
See Witherspoon, Devon
so many 4* & 5* players are over rated, and 0* or 1* players simply never were properly rated
but Bama, Ga, O$U and scUM have proven you can go pretty far with a roster full of highly ranked players

There has to be SOME limit, right?? Like, Texas A&M has even more money than Alabama, but they aren't getting Saban. In other words, Alabama would come up with enough cash to get him to stay even if they are marginally below A&M's offer in terms of pure dollars and cents. I would think PSU's prestige is high enough that they could fend off advances from A&M, but then again maybe Franklin is sick of being in the shadow of Michigan and OSU coaching for a fan base that expects to be competing with both.
ATM would hardly be a solution to that problem! From the frying pan into the fire.
This … We lost a LOT defensively … Henry deserves a couple years to get things dialed in and develop some of these younger guys …
All of the above …
Also - Wife said no to USC … Would rather he stay in current set up and arrangement with Bret … So there’s that …
Mississippi State fires Arnett after 11 games
Citing a need for leadership change, Mississippi State has fired head football coach Zach Arnett and made offensive analyst Greg Knox its interim coach.
Another program who has lofty expectations. MSU had a big drop off considering they returned their starting qb

Hear me out. What if TAMU offered him generational wealth?

Tipsheet: Fisher's firing, $76.8 million buyout underscores the insanity of SEC football
Boosters will pay stupid money -- up to $76.8 million -- to fire coach Jimbo Fisher. Apparently there aren't more important things in their life to spend money on.
Ridiculous waste of cash. There’s something wrong with that institution.Tipsheet: Fisher's firing, $76.8 million buyout underscores the insanity of SEC football

As I noted earlier - we are talking STUPID money here. The next guy is likely to get 8 figures, too.

His decision to go for two (they failed the conversion, natch) at the end of the second quarter v. Michigan last Saturday when they'd finally scored a TD to pull within 14-9 was the single dumbest head coaching decision I've ever seen in 50 years of watching college football.

Time for nominations for even dumber head coach in-game coaching decisions. Surely Zook will appear somewhere on the list.
"has a lesson to learn" is an understatement. I would make a terrible AD. I would insist on high salaries over these high buy-outs. Especially in this era where program money needs to be available for NIL.

aTm and Mich St both set terrible precedents with the crazy high salaries they were paying to their coaches.
How do you attract anyone really good, to satisfy the fan base, and not pay them just as much ?
I still think Mullen ends up back at Miss St and Harsin ends up back at Boise

He occupies a stand-alone category, as he was profoundly differently-abled. Guys like John L. Smith keep him company.
JL Smith's complete meltdown on-camera concerning an end-of-half completely boneheaded Spartan coaching error (10 men on field and two OSU linemen with an unimpeded path to block a FG) while being interviewed running off the field at halftime at OSU is among the more amusing college football moments I can recall.

The only way I see it is they can keep paying the stupid amounts or hire unproven up and coming lower tier coaches for a few hiring cycles. If I was an established good/great coach currently no way would I go to either school for anything less than the precedent those schools had set for their now fired coaches.
This might be true, but I thought this season has been a textbook example of coaches having to adjust their gameplans to stick within what the players can actually do. The failures bringing choruses to fire Lunney on this board, were cleaned up with mostly the same players. As coach B puts it, "We have to ask the right questions...we can only ask of our players what we know they can do." That might still be the same 'scheme' but the coaches made huge adjustments to fix the OL, for example. Did anyone in the top six change? Positions, yes, but I thought same guys.
