I'd need to see data that backs that up. Lots of coaches get second chances. Maybe not at D1 level immediately, but almost always eventually unless you are a real dumb@ss like Dooley. Even Butch will get another job once he's done mooching off UT.[/QUOT
It happens a lot. A coach struggles at their job then gets fired. You hardly ever see them get recycled again at the top jobs. Coach O at LSU is just 1 of like 4 ever to have second chances. Are they put on a black list or something?
Well of course not. You can't fail at a major P5 job then just expect to roll into an even better job, especially immediately.Yeah but not the type of caliber jobs they had before.
Yep. Especially if the coach being fired is an older, tenured HC. Look at the route schools have gone down when a longtime HC leaves or is fired...Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Penn St (not really counting Bill O'Brien since that was always going to be a stopgap measure), Florida St. They all went after (or already had on staff) a young hot shot who was highly thought of as a tactical coach on either offense or defense.I think it's becoming less and less common for a fired HC at a P5 school to get a second chance at a big name school due to the uprising of so many talented young coordinators getting hired. A few will still get second chances like mark richt and Mack Brown did but most that do really bad in their first or second stint as a HC have to work their way back through lower P5 teams and FCS.
Kiffen got left at the airport at USC now look at himYeah but not the type o
f caliber jobs they had before.
Dooley will get another shot eventually. Especially if he keeps getting NFL positions. Botch may have to wait a little longer but some unsuspecting fool will give him another shot as wellI'll take Butch. He'll never coach power 5 again. Neither will Dooley. Neither will Schianno except for Rutgers.
