Possibility of 50% turnover in SEC football coaches this year:
Known: Piggies, LSwho, gators
Probable: mildkittens, aubie, vandy, mizzou ( better jobs for Lea and Drink)
Possible: OU, Tejas (Sark to NFL) USCjr (back to VT) Ole Miss (kiffen stay or go?)

Buckle up as it will be wild with the staff changes as well

The SEC record in conference games will be .500 every year. The SEC is also paying 14 of their 16 head coaches $7M+. Something has to give.

LSU is the best job opening as of now. Sorry Florida

LSU is the job I would want the most in the SEC, IMO.

Talent rich state with homegrown blue chips that are Louisiana kids at heart. LSU is also the only P4 program in state and there is no recruiting competition.

Not to mention the resources and fan support it has.

Three coaches have won national championships in the last 22 years. Two of them were incompetent buffoons.

Man I wish we had found Joseph Aguilar earlier in his career. I’m glad 5-star QBs want to come here but give me a humble, grateful, and hungry 22-23 year old.

Mike should have 200 more yards if not for drops.

Brazzell should have 70+ more if not for the phantom PI call.

You are missing out. But I guess you also miss out on the insane amount of cars that make parking difficult. Much less crowded on Thursday nights. We have tried a few times. Daughter's sports schedule usually makes Thursday not an option.

Oh, I am still there on Sundays. I help lead a 10th Grade guys group at 9:40 and 3rd Grade boys at 11:00.

This is just completely false. Bull even talks about not playing outside shoulder, filling gaps, angles, and all the issues we have with coaching. I do believe some of it is personnel but half is definitely coaching.

So last year when we had a lot of experience we were good but when we had to use inexperienced players we look bad.......I think that illustrates your issue more than anything else.

DL all upperclassmen.
LB starters are two juniors til last game.
DB - fifth year senior who rarely leaves the field. Farooq a sophomore and second year in system. Hood is older. Boo/McMurray played a lot last year and other places. Only other one is Redmond.

We rotate younger at linebacker but that’s it.

I am very pleased that Florida will have immense competition for their new coach. Penn State and LSU are potentially better jobs. If Florida State, Auburn, and Texas open up, even better.

My BVS however will be on high alert if Oklahoma opens up.

In a STRICTLY hypothetical, if Heupel left, Golesh should be the replacement.

I watched Golesh up close this past weekend at the Memphis game on the 15th row behind the USF bench. Although his team lost in a heartbreaker, he’s establishing a good culture and I can tell that his players love playing for him. They ran the no huddle to perfection as well.

No, I don’t want Heupel to leave. Just stating what I would hope will happen in the event.

Why was the defense great last year? So experienced players for the most part. It's just too many young guys playing this year. We've complained for years about not starting the more athletic young players.

Well, we got em this year. We are an interior D lineman, safety and corner away from being good again this year.

Too many young guys freelancing and not playing within the system. Poor technique and tackling, technique is the first thing to go with overwhelmed young players. They weren't ready.

Now I think we could upgrade Banks for what it's worth, but I also think we could do worse. And I'm a year like this one I'm not sure it's the right time to make a move, too much instability with too many premier jobs opening up. We could get left with second and third options. And we could lose other assistants and recruits.

Yall think any of these jobs give Heup a call? Just to see if there is any interest?

I think LSU, Florida, probably not.i think both of those think they can do better.

Penn state though.. Looking for a culture guy with an offensive back ground? Maybe.

He's not leaving for Arkansas.... And they'll hire petrino.

I think we're 'safe', though I would imagine he gets something added to his contract as a sweetener. Like a lot of coaches will around the country will probably.

Elite DL.

First round edge with a second round edge behind him. Interior DL had ONl who wa sa high draft pick and many older interior guys who are in the NFL. DL dominated teams and we rotated all the time with great DL.

Even last year when the DL didn’t play well (UGA and OSU) where teams had talent to block them, our defense was not good.

Better question, if there were a program that had a vacancy where Heupel would take the call and do the interview, which program(s) do we think he'd talk to.

I imagine Oklahoma he would talk to.

Presumably there are a ton of schools that he'd take the call from and talk to. Of course he's going to take a call from Penn St, UF, or LSU.

If you're talking schools where he'd seriously consider leaving, that list is much smaller. The OU situation is still kind of complicated. If Bob Stoops wasn't still hanging around there, I think there's a 95% chance he'd leave for OU if offered. As long as he's involved there, it is more complicated.

If the Ohio St job ever opened and they offered it to him, he'd take it. He probably could be hypothetically money-whipped by LSU or UF, but I don't hear his name come up at all with their current openings.
