There have been some grumblings (which Josh Pate, TIFWIW, confirmed) there are some pretty pissed off people forking over double digits for Bryce Underwood and getting this ****** offense. Plus, he never truly was hired by the AD/boosters. Harbaugh ordained him as his successor after 2021. Add in the fact he was named in the sign-stealing scandal and it wouldn't shock me if they moved on IF they have somebody in mind. But this coaching cycle is going to be absolutely brutal.

That last sentence is probably why they keep him this year no matter how bad things get. Michigan would obviously be near the top of whatever the openings list ends up looking like, but as you said, there'd be so much competition.

The butterfly effect of the openings is going to be incredibly unpredictable. At least a few of these openings are likely to be filled by sitting head coaches who are already at fairly big jobs. When LSU fired O, nobody thought that would lead to the ND job also opening up. The carousel this year could rival the one from 2021-22.

Of the potentials on your list above, I'd be stunned if the UF and Wisconsin jobs don't come open. Probably Wisky even more than UF. I thought they might make a move after getting blanked and losing to Iowa by 37 on homecoming last week.

It is going to be a madhouse this year. I think we have a chance for a total of 30 jobs opening up this year, which would 22% of FBS.

If he's 9-3, he probably survives.

But if they tailspin (I think their defense is too good), then yes.

If they lose to Vandy, I think he probably does need to win out to keep his job. A third loss would do him in, I think. Doesn't matter that Vandy is actually slightly favored.

If he has 2 more losses and they are to bigger name, highly-ranked teams (like Alabama and A&M), he probably survives.

Just looking through the Arkansas game again. It's unbelievable how much we went into a shell late. It's infuriating. 34-17 and they stopped doing anything remotely interesting on defense.

This is why I think Penn State was smart to kick Franklin to the curb. At lease 2-3 of these teams is going to see Franklin as a massive improvement over what they have been running out. The only question is whether or not Franklin wants to coach again right away, or take a break and count his money.

I don't believe Stoops is going anywhere anytime soon though. His buyout is pretty massive with like half due within 30 days. UK knows they are a basketball school and they aren't gonna fork over that sort of dough. They will ride him out at least another year, imo and force him to fire coaches.

Most are speculating Wisconsin will fire Fickell after this weekend when they get skull drug by Ohio State. You probably don't want to implement an interim head coach right and let this be his first game.

Do I think we win in Bryant Denny? No. Do I kinda like the matchup? Yes.

If Jam Miller is out, that could be huge. They lose to Missouri without Jam Miller, imo.

Simpson makes good decisions and he's very accurate on short to intermediate passes. But Alabama just just doesn't push the ball down the field very much.

Sort of reminds me of Drew Allar in the regard.
